Be sure to check out last post on previous page 
Lol been on' telly t'night
Had the pleasure of having a brief conversation with Bon and Malc at a gig in a small Birmingham night club (Barbarella,s) back in 1976. They were support band to Crawler who Paul Kossoff was a member of before his untimely death. Met the guys at the bar following their set believe it or not, bought them a pint. Been a fan ever since.

Hello Lyn, im always around, hope you are enjoying your week off and taking it easy.
Thanks robby ..that's nice of you!If you're always around you should come and play in the Bus Stop...apart from the vicious, no-holds barred jostling to catch the bus, we're all, (even Bunny), nice folks really, and I'm sure you'd get on well with everyone.
If anyone is interested I have a huge amount of rare AC/DC stuff including many many live recordings with Bon Scott on vocal.
Mostly fantastic quality as well.
Would happily send copies to anyone who is interested and they wouldn't be expensive.
I have in excess of 60 albums-including both Fraternity albums(Bon's band before AC/DC).

From Wiki:
Ronald Belford Scott was born on 9 July 1946 at the Fyfe Jamieson Maternity Hospital, Forfar, Scotland to Charles ("Chick") and Isabelle ("Isa") Scott, and grew up in Kirriemuir. A younger brother Derek was born in 1949.
The Scott family emigrated from Scotland to Australia in 1952 where they initially lived in the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine. It was at Sunshine Primary School that he received his nickname; there was already a classmate with the name Ronald and as he had recently arrived from Bonnie Scotland he was dubbed "Bon" and the name stuck. A second brother, Graeme, was born in 1953.
In 1956, the family moved to Fremantle, Western Australia and Bon joined the associated Fremantle Scots Pipe Band, learning the drums. He dropped out of school at the age of 15 and spent a short time in Fremantle Prison's assessment centre and nine months at the Riverbank Juvenile Institution relating to charges of giving a false name and address to the police, having escaped legal custody, having unlawful carnal knowledge
and stealing twelve gallons of petrol
He attempted to join the Australian Army but was rejected for being deemed as "socially maladjusted

"They ask me if I'm AC or DC and I say " neither - I'm the lightning flash in the middle" "
This nearly went in the car music thread across the way, but it fits better here !
Happy Birthday, Bon Scott
Let us take a moment to raise a posthumous toast to Bon Scott, who would have celebrated his 65th birthday today.
Gone but NEVER forgotten.
Slainte, Heatseek!

AC/DC launch own label Australian wine range
Australian rock band AC/DC are joining a growing list of celebrities by launching their own range of wine.
Kiss, Iron Maiden and Whitesnake have all brought out their own brand wines as has pop star Madonna.
AC/DC are selling varieties named after some of their biggest hits, including Highway to Hell cabernet sauvignon and Hells Bells sauvignon blanc.
The group have teamed up with Australian winemaker Warburn Estate for the release of AC/DC The Wine.
From Paris Hilton's perfume, JLS condoms to a Kiss coffin, celebrities have spotted the marketing potential in associating their name and image with all manner of products.
The four different bottles will be sold in stores across Australia.
"We wanted to make sure that AC/DC's home fan base could have easy access to their rock icons' wines," said Steve Donohue, general manager of buying for the Woolworths Liquor Group.
Seasons greetings to all you Rockers 
You too Heat *Clicks video* 
Iran nuclear facilities 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC malware
In 2010, Iran's nuclear facilities were infiltrated by Stuxnet, the centrifuge-wrecking malware allegedly cooked up by the US government. Now they seem to have been hit again by a bizarre attack forcing nuclear plant workstations to pump the song Thunderstruck by heavy metal band AC/DC through the speakers at full volume.
News of the attack comes from Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at Finnish computer security firm F-Secure, who says he recently received a series emails from a scientist working at the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI):
"I am writing you to inform you that our nuclear program has once again been compromised and attacked by a new worm with exploits which have shut down our automation network at Natanz and another facility Fordo near Qom."
The Iranian scientist goes on to say that they believe the attackers used Metasploit, a common hacking tool which provides a variety of ways to penetrate supposedly secure networks. "There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out," says the scientist. "I believe it was playing 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC."
While the US military has used heavy metal music as a weapon in the past it seems unlikely that a Stuxnet-like stealth attack would announce its presence with a few blasting power chords, suggesting the hit is more likely the work of a thrill-seeking hacker. Hypponen says he has been unable to verify any details of the attack, but has confirmed that the emails were sent and received from within the AEOI.
