Of interest.
I wonder what percentage of rockers survive to collect social security?
It’s a long way to go if ya rock and roll.. Yeah yeah
Wishing the best after all the years of rocking
Sad news indeed.
most of us grew up somewhere around age 30 ....
Well that kinda just ruined my day. They played pure, old fashioned, blues based rock n roll, nothing more and nothing less. They also never seemed to take themselves too seriously - a refreshing change from many other bands.
Great band
Hell’s Bells! I loved that group and have most of their CDs (even the last one that sort of sucked).
Bon Scott, one of the greats RnR frontmen, ever.
Rumored report that Malcolm had a stroke and a blood clot in his brain —

Yeah, the end of an era of a really unique form of R&R that will never be topped nor can ever be imitated....

On the High Way to Hell?
Back in Black?
AC/DC (((ping)))!
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock-n-roll!
In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn’t know about a rock ‘n’ roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said -
Let there be sound
there was sound
Let there be light
there was light
Let there be drums
there was drums
Let there be guitar
there was guitar
Oh,Let there be rock
Maybe it was a little more than a few years ago! Black Ice came out 8 years ago! lol Seems like yesterday!
Ridin’ down the highway
Goin’ to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin’ rock ‘n’ roll
Gettin’ robbed
Gettin’ stoned
Gettin’ beat up
Broken boned
Gettin’ had
Gettin’ took
I tell you folks
It’s harder than it looks It’s a long way to the top
If you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
It’s a long way to the top
If you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
If you think it’s easy doin’ one night stands
Try playin’ in a rock roll band
It’s a long way to the top
If you wanna rock ‘n’ roll Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin’ old
Gettin’ grey
Gettin’ ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin’ sold
Second hand
That’s how it goes
Playin’ in a band It’s a long way to the top
If you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
It’s a long way to the top
If you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it’s rough and mean
It’s a long way to the top
If you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
I got hitched at 30, I hear ya.
Play them bagpipes.
