Bon Scott’s extraordinary presence, both on stage and in the studio, was truly one-of-a-kind, as John Jackson of the Bon Scott Estate recently reflected during a conversation on the UCR Podcast. “Writing songs about rock and roll is notoriously difficult,” he noted. “It often comes off poorly. However, Bon managed to collaborate with the Young brothers in a way that was clever and has left a lasting impact. That’s why people continue to cover AC/DC songs. When you attend one of their concerts, you’ll find that half of the setlist features music from Bon’s era.” This speaks volumes about his enduring influence on the genre.
