Friday, February 16: AC/DC, "Squealer"

R.I.P. Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (1946-1980), Malcolm Young (1953-2017)

Before they blew the doors off with Let There Be Rock, AC/DC was a much slinkier and gnarlier affair.  Yes, they had a way with hooks and groove from the beginning, but there was also a seediness that, while never totally disappearing, did seem to get sanded away a bit and replaced with more mischievous good cheer.  But “Squealer” gave off real menace, beginning with its lurching backbeat and ominous chords and extending to Bon Scott’s threatening whisper and a chorus that wasn’t so much chanted as coughed and belched.  This sounded especially unwashed, even for AC/DC, and actually lent some credence to the perception that these guys really were hooligans that quite possibly worshiped Satan.  It was unkempt and shaggy, and not inconsequentially one of the last times they would sound quite this squalid, since just one year later they would tighten up considerably and begin a remarkable hot streak.

Lyrics:

If you′re havin' trouble with the high school head

He′s givin' you the blues

You wanna graduate but not in his bed

Here's what you gotta do

Pick up the phone

I′m always home

Call me anytime

Just ring three-six-two-four, three-five-oh

I lead a life of crime

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds and they′re done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap, there ya go

If you′ve got a lady and you want her gone

But you ain't got the guts

She keeps on naggin′ at you night and day

Enough to drive you nuts

Pick up the phone

Leave him alone

It's time you made a stand

For a fee I′m happy to play

Your night time plan

Done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds yeah, done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds and they′re done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds and they′re done dirt cheap

Done dirt cheap

Done dirt cheap, huh

Done dirt cheap

On 19th February 1980 Ronald Belford “Bon” Scott died.

Ronald was born on July 9, 1946 in Kirriemuir, Bon’s parents hailed from musical families; his father, Charles, known to friends and relations as Chick, played drums in the Kirriemuir Pipe Band and performed with the local light-opera company. In 1952, the Scott family relocated to Australia.

The Scott's first resided in Melbourne before settling in the Adelaide suburb of Sunshine. In 1956, Bon’s brother Graeme was diagnosed with asthma and the Scott family relocated to Fremantle. Scott who rose to fame as the leading singer and songwriter of the hugely popular hard rock band AC/DC during the 1970s. He loved music from a young age and was a highly creative and rebellious youngster.

Scotland’s Fife Free Press reported in 1962: “One of the side drummers in the Fremantle Pipe Band, who played at the opening ceremony of the Empire Games in Perth, was Ronald Scott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Scott, who formerly resided in Roods, Kirriemuir, as seen in the black and white pic.

As is common with unruly teenagers, he often found himself in trouble with the authorities. He dropped out of school at 15 and had brushes with the law which had him sent to the Riverbank Juvenile Institution. Labelled as a social misfit, he was denied a position in the Australian army. He worked at several odd jobs to support himself after leaving school.

Scott started playing drums during his adolescent years and formed his first band The Spektors, in 1964. He played for some other bands as well before joining AC/DC as their lead singer. The band’s popularity reached new heights after Scott joined them; their debut album ‘High Voltage’ was a big hit. Within a year the band brought out the single, ‘It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll)’ which soon became known as the quintessential rock anthem.

On 19th February 1980, Bonn passed out after a night of heavy drinking in a London club called the Music Machine 1980, he was left to spend the night by a friend. The next day he was found lifeless and taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

The official cause of his death was listed as acute alcohol poisoning. His grave is considered the most visited in Australia and the National Trust of Australia has included it on its list of classified heritage.

Statue of Bon Scott are found in Fremantle, Perth, Western Australia and Kirriemuir, here in Scotland.

Friday, August 16: AC/DC, "Kicked in the Teeth"

R.I.P. Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (1946-1980), Malcolm Young (1953-2017)

“Kicked in the Teeth” was the perfect way for AC/DC to end one chapter, even if Powerage as a whole was arguably the one true outlier in their entire discography.  The tune had a bit of the old time rock and roll that permeated the band’s early years, primarily in Bon’s screechy howling during the opening, but was also one final blast of unhinged hard rock before they met Mutt Lange and sharpened their writing and arrangements considerably just one year later.  There was a distinct shagginess to the proceedings even as Malcolm, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd had developed into one of the greatest rhythm sections of all time- the groove was perfection, but Angus and Bon were incorrigible and untamable, giving “Kicked in the Teeth” a distinct push/pull that made the track and Powerage a simultaneously strange and totally awesome experience.  AC/DC still had decades of great music ahead of them, but they would never sound quite this rowdy again.

If anyone has any favourite photos of Bon can you send them my way? I’m gonna attempt something (and probably fail, but I’m going to try nonetheless😂) preferably just Bon on his own if possible thank youuuu
