Friday, August 19: AC/DC, “Rocker”

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

Up until Highway to Hell, AC/DC’s albums were released in different configurations, track listings and even mixes depending on the territory, making it hard to determine which version of, say, Powerage was the “proper” one.  And “Rocker” in particular had a few different lives: it wasn’t properly released in the US until 1981 when Atlantic Records finally opted to release Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (though it had appeared on the live If You Want Blood You’ve Got It), though it had been in circulation in Europe since 1976, and was actually originally released in Australia in 1975 as part of T.N.T., and with a different mix to boot (it was slightly longer).  But even with that strange history, the track was a band and fan favorite, usually popping up either as the first encore or the grand finale at their shows.  Funny enough, they actually performed “Rocker” a bit slower on stage, as if the recorded version was too fast even for them. Perhaps that wasn’t surprising, since on record the tune was frantic to the point of nearing punk rock, if not proto-speed metal: Angus and Malcolm Young’s riffing outpaced Phil Rudd’s drum slap, and Bon Scott’s rowdy yelping could hardly keep up.  Of course, all of that was part of the magic of AC/DC’s early years: they hadn’t fully developed as writers just yet, but Harry Vanda and George Young knew how to capture their intensity, and there was something singular about the way they locked in as a single power surge.  And “Rocker” was pure power, a jolt of electricity in a bottle by a band bursting at the seams. It was no wonder shows during the Bon era frequently ended with this, since it was the perfect distillation of their energy and charisma.

The Earth Dies Screaming (1964)

"She couldn't have been alive."

"How do you think she got down here? Anybody carry her? She walked, my friend. She was alive, alright. When I shot her, she fell down and she bled just like anybody else."

#the earth dies screaming #british cinema #science fiction film #eye horror #1964 #horror film #terence fisher #harry spalding #willard parker #virginia field #dennis price #thorley walters #vanda godsell #david spenser #anna palk #jack arrow #elisabeth lutyens #a very modest little b movie. economical in every sense: clearly a budget production‚ with a small cast and a skeleton script #and running only an hour long. still‚ quota quicky or no‚ this is pretty effective at what it's trying to do. Fisher works wonders (with #the help of some familiar stock footage‚ admittedly: there's a plane crash over a forest in the opening scenes which I've definitely seen #used in The Avengers and possibly The Saint) to create a small village view of the apocalypse. the silent shots of deserted towns are very #eery and evocative. less convincing are the space (?) monsters (?) which terrorise the survivors; actually they don't seem overly #interested in terrorising‚ mostly they wander aimlessly and ignore our heroes. the resurrected dead are far more creepy (and do they make #this the first british zombie film?). some familiar faces play to their strengths: Price as a slimy aristocrat type‚ Walters as a drink #addled fool. most interesting is a very young Anna Palk‚ later a tv star in her own right‚ as the pregnant wife of an equally young David #Spenser (whose brother Jeremy had previously played the younger version of Dennis Price's character in Kind Hearts and Coronets) #writer Harry Spaulding apparently hated the title (supposedly somebody's joke which stuck) but he was dead wrong #it's a baller title and one of the best things about the film. American Parker and Vi Field were married in real life‚ and often worked #together at this point in their careers; neither could be said to be old exactly at this point‚ but their stardom was on the wane #indeed‚ this was Field's final film (she continued to do some tv work in the US) and Parker made only one more

George Redburn Young was born on November 6, 1946 in Glasgow.

George was the fifth born son of William and Margaret Young, the family lived at 6 Skerryvore Road in the Cranhill district of Glasgow in 1963 and Scotland had just endured the ‘big freeze’, the worst winter on record in Scotland with snow eight feet deep and an advert came on the TV offering assisted travel for families for a different life in Australia, so off the family went in June that year, 15 of them in all, they even left two behind!

The family originally stayed in a immigration camp in big nissen huts near Sydney, it was there George met Dutch immigrant Harry Vanda, the two would go on to form the band The Easybeats and have a massive worldwide hit with Friday on my mind in 1967, the magazine Australian Musician magazine selected this meeting as the most significant event in Australian pop and rock music history.

The Easybeats were the first Australian band to have a big pop hit overseas – the significance of this must not be understated. They were the band that told the world they needed to pay attention to Australia, that little country that must have felt so inaccessible in a time where travel was onerous and computers were practically a pipe dream.

George wasn’t just content on playing music, with his help, his wee brothers formed AC/DC, George would later recommend Bon Scott become their new vocalist after their original one left in 1974. With Vanda, Young produced Let There Be Rock, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, T.N.T., Powerage and High Voltage, five of the most influential rock'n'roll records of all time. George also produced AC/DC’s 2000 album, Stiff Upper Lip on his own. The band would later admit, “Without his help and guidance there would not have been an AC/DC.”

George also wrote the worldwide hit Love Is in the Air for fellow Scot immigrant, John Paul Young, who was no relation. After retiring from the music industry in the late 1990s, Young resided mainly in Portugal with his family. 

George Young died of undisclosed causes on October 22th, 2017, aged 70.

The song is George and wee brother Malcolm from the album  Tales of Old Grand Daddy by  Marcus Hook Roll Band, George sings lead vocals on this pre AC/DC record. Many of the details surrounding Tales of Old Grand Daddy remain forgotten due to excessive alcohol consumption during the recording sessions. According to George Young, "We all got rotten (drunk) – except Angus, who was too young – and we spent a month in the studio boozing it up every night." The album features rhythm and lead guitar from both Malcolm and Angus, although whose parts are whose is a detail long forgotten. It was the first time the younger brothers had been in the studio.

⭐band challenge⭐ think of your 15 favorite bands and for each band... 🎸name your favorite guitarist 🎊 name the goofiest member 💿 name your favorite album 🎶 name your favorite song 📷 post your favorite photo

🌟 challenge your friends 🌟

oh GOD you've given me a lot of work haven't you!! I'll stick this under the cut so I'm not clogging up the dash for everyone

1 - the pretty things

I... don't know at this point if I'm doing this in order but be sure that my top three or four bands are constantly cycling out as to which I prefer at the moment!! favourite guitarist would probably be john povey just because he also wrote a lot of songs on the lps I have of theirs! goofiest member is a bit tricky but I'd say it's brian pendleton. dude literally did not notice his jumper was stolen by brian jones even when he knew it was missing and had noticed brian had a 'similar' jumper on rsg! that night! (side note: the fact that viv prince got kicked out of the hell's angels is a very close second) favourite album is 'the vintage years' compilation lp from 1976 during the period phil left the band and my favourite song would be death of a socialite and my favourite photo... this one I'm not necessarily gonna post for all of them just the ones I have. but this is probably my favourite and iirc it's a promotional photo for a boot company

2 - the rolling stones

come on. we know it's brian jones that I like the best. I don't know who the goofiest member would be because basically all of them have done some very dumb shit but because of the music video for dancing in the street I'd have to give it to mick jagger. that video... haunts me. favourite album is easy, it's aftermath. though I do admit I love my presumably original pressing of high tides and green grass quite a bit as well! now my favourite song is jumpin jack flash I feel like that's very well known at this point... so I'll say that it's play with fire favourite photo HAS to be this

no hints as to why

3 - the easybeats

favourite guitarist is harry vanda I have a thing for blondes as SO many things are starting to prove goofiest member has to be stevie wright since he was mick jagger on cocaine and speed at sixteen and did it BETTER... I admire someone who can do backflips favourite album would be easy. not a very inspired choice however I think it's understandable why! favourite song is a tie between st louis and made my bed (gonna lie in it) both songs have an incredible complexity to their sound that just. perfect for me. favourite picture is easily this no I don't have context

4 - the kinks

favourite guitarist is ray sorry dave. actually not sorry I haven't forgotten the shaved pussy tweets goofiest member is IMPOSSIBLE have you SEEN them they're all as bad as each other favourite album is one for the road. I have a thing for live albums favourite song is rock n roll fantasy. I feel that's fairly common knowledge favourite photo:

winter they said.

5 - flash and the pan

can I skip favourite guitarist I think I've already said I prefer harry also... I can't choose a goofier member... I mean...

favourite album would be their collection one because. I have not found any physical copies of their lps. and that's what's on spotify. favourite song though is easy it's down among the dead men I'll skip favourite photo for now. those gifs should do just fine

6 - the grateful dead

this is where order really doesn't matter! I'll admit I don't actually listen to these guys as much as the first five bands I put down but I do still enjoy them a lot and it's a bit of variety

favourite guitarist... probably bob weir? I'm not too fussed about favourite members in this band! goofiest member is n/a this is a strictly liked because I like the music band. aside from the fact I got into them because of the grateful doe case. don't ask favourite album is their self-titled favourite songs are either the golden road or touch of grey no favourite picture here either

7 - the dave clark five

favourite guitarist is rick huxley. no particular reason just vibes goofiest member is probably mike smith for thinking that he could pull of jean harlow drag (he pulls off the drag just fine it just doesn't necessarily read as jean harlow lol) favourite album is the dave clark five's greatest hits because it's my dad's copy favourite song is sha-na-na hey hey kiss him goodbye. I am a simple man. I hear a nice keyboard line, I go wild favourite photo is again not applicable BUT I did enjoy watching having a wild weekend when my dad made us watch it on television a good decade and then some

8 - rush

do i have to say favourite guitarist. like. the only way there's options is if you choose to interpret 'guitarist' more openly than I have (not counting bass because bassists deserve better than to be lumped in as just a guitarist). or I could be funny and say neil peart goofiest member is geddy for his instagram literally being geddyimages. pun king favourite album would probably be power windows favourite song is the analog kid again, favourite image isn't really applicable here BUT I am an appreciator of the big money music video unironically

9 - the shadows

my favourite guitarist is hank marvin. who brian may also looks up to and I love torturing my m*ther with that information. goofiest member would also be hank marvin for one of his nicknames was 'pretty boy', though there is a picture in a biography about them that I got for me dad that calls them the sex pistols of 1958 and I don't know how to feel about it favourite album is from hank, bruce, brian and john favourite songs are the letter (BUT not the 1999 remaster, they took some of the teeth outta that) and while technically this is a hank marvin solo release a lot of things count it as a shadows song and that's sacha favourite photo:

nice lads, aren't they

10 - strawberry alarm clock

...I have to admit. I don't know the members and I don't particularly care to know the members, I only know that I like their music. and that's good enough for me at this point! favourite album would be incense and peppermints favourite song would either be mr farmer or hummin' happy and again, because I don't care who exactly was in the band, I don't have a favourite photograph

11 - pink floyd

favourite guitarist is syd goofiest member? in MY pink floyd? it's roger. solely because of the onion bagger shirt favourite album is the final cut favourite song is time favourite image is uh. me misnaming a file. and producing this gem

12 - the beach boys

favourite guitarist would be al. even though I know the members I don't have a particular ranking (except mike love is the worst member. ew) goofiest member is again not really something I can say I have an opinion on favourite album would be pet sounds like is there any other option (I say, despite listening to my 'concert' lp way too often...) favourite song though is I get around (live) from the concert lp favourite picture... i guess I do have two pictures of them saved but I don't know why because I don't particularly like those pictures

13 - the monkees

I did not mean to put these guys off to nearly the end of the list!!

favourite guitarist is mike no competition goofiest member is all of them!! they're all goofy as hell favourite album is pisces aquarius capricorn and jones ltd though I like pool it, and unironically at that favourite song is the door into summer favourite image:

what can I say! it's a mood

14 - the marcus hook roll band I've already said who my favourite guitarist is :) you have to figure it out from who I've already said :) saying the goofiest member would also give it away but shoutout to the NON-member known for wearing a school uniform in the next band he was in, who showed up uninvited and had to be bribed into playing with naked women and beer favourite album is tales of old grand daddy. I don't have much choice. favourite song is can't stand the heat and I don't have any pictures of this band and I don't think there are even any publicly available

15 - the who

last but NOT LEAST!!

favourite guitarist would be pete, again not much choice is there goofiest member is yet again all of them. how can i choose between the guy who collected random shit like suits of armour, the guy banned from a whole motel chain, the guy who ate nails and uh. pete. favourite album would be the who sell out favourite song is a tie between the instrumental version of my generation or can't reach you favourite album is this and I think this is a good way to finish this post off!

thanks for asking, and more importantly if you've made it here thanks for reading this far? like I said after the first five it's not really in any order and a lot of these are bands I just like a lot musically. and it's not a complete list. it's only fifteen after all
