The Other Side Of Bon Scott...

[BlackSG91]

We all know Bon Scott as the infamous frontman for AC/DC but has anyone saw his more gentle side? Does anyone remember him in the band Fraternity? The band members played Gibson SG guitars also...what a coincidence.

Trippy!

He sure knows how to play a mean flute and that other instrument which I think is a baritone flute or something.

That's great. Amish Bon!! He even wore a shirt.

They had SG's in the Valentine's too....I'm sensing a pattern.

Does anyone remember him in the band Fraternity?

OMG! I forgot all about them! And then the vid starting with Tom Terrific, I loved that show when I was a kid...... Damn, now I feel old.

I remember that tune! I just never really knew the band's name. They must have been a one-hit wonder. That was a good one...Amish Bon! He certainly does look like it in that video. I think all the band members make furniture after each and every concert.

Speaking of AC/DC, here's an early clip of Brian Johnson with Geordie long before back in black.

That's cool rite there. His voice was much less raspy back in the day.

I swear, that drummer looks like twins with a drummer I know. He gonna laugh when I show him.

In that top "Fraternity" video, he looks like Jethro Clampett's cousin!!!

Oh yeah, I went and saw my old mate Bon on Monday!

That statue, in Fremantle, Western Australia, is about a 20 minute drive from my house.
There's also a memorial at the Fremantle Cemetery, which is about 15 minutes away!
He isn't actually buried here - he was cremated and his ashes scattered, but he was a Fremantle boy, so it was fitting that a
memorial was set up for him here.

Boy, if I was in a band with that drummer the first 1:30 of that song would have compelled me to put my fist through his fvk'ng godam tom-tom drum!

I remember that tune! I just never really knew the band's name. They must have been a one-hit wonder.

Well, on a happier easy listening note,.. Here's another Bonn hit in the Valentines that you probably will recognize Black.

And maybe the Valentines biggest hit that got a revived bump from the movie 'There's Something About Mary'.

I mean who knew all these years right?

 

[BlackSG91]

Good tunes you posted Barry Bo Jangles! I remember the buttercup song but I didn't know the name of the band. Now I know. It sure looks like Bon had quite the music career before joining AC/DC...a man of many talents.

Great picture Alex...you're standing next to a legend and looking handsome as always. That is a good analogy comparing Fraternity to Jethro Tull or Jethro Scott. I was thinking that myself. I think Bon Scott played a bagpipe in one of the early AC/DC songs. Do you remember what song it is? There's a video for it somewhere.

That's it BocceBall69er! I have a DVD box set lying around somewhere of all AC/DC videos and that's one of the videos. Thanks brother.
