Bon Scott was once asked if he was AC or DC. 'Neither,' he grinned, 'I'm the lightning flash in the middle.' And that's how he lived his life.
No one had the same skill with lyrics as Bon, who called his words 'toilet poetry', his 'dirty ditties'. He could also vividly depict life on the road, best heard in the AC/DC classics 'Long Way to the Top' and 'Highway to Hell'.
When Bon appeared on Countdown in March 1975, the impression he left was indelible. The ugliest schoolgirl to ever grace the small screen, Bon was a mess of tattoos and pigtails, wearing an awkwardly short skirt, all the while puffing on a ciggie. His bandmates, not just the audience, were in hysterics. The video quickly became part of Oz rock folklore.
Bon was always the joker in the AC/DC pack. He'd happily pose for a photograph with a joint dangling from his lips or be interviewed in cut-off shorts with a banana provocatively stuffed into his waistband. Anything to elicit a laugh. The off-stage stories surrounding Bon are legendary. After spending a lively couple of days with Bon, Ol' 55 singer Jim Manzie said, 'My rock-and-roll education was pretty much complete.'
Bad Boy Boogie is the first biography to focus on Bon's remarkable gifts as a lyricist, frontman and rascal. In short, the real Bon Scott.
Bon Scott 曾经被问到他是 AC 还是 DC。 “都不是,”他笑着说,“我是中间的闪电。”这就是他的生活。
没有人能像邦一样拥有如此出色的歌词技巧,邦称他的词是“厕所诗”,他的“肮脏的小调”。他还可以生动地描绘道路上的生活,最好在 AC/DC 经典“漫漫登峰造极”和“通往地狱的高速公路”中听到。
1975 年 3 月,当 Bon 出现在 Countdown 上时,他留下的印象是不可磨灭的。 Bon 是小屏幕上最丑的女学生,身上满是纹身和辫子,穿着一条笨拙的短裙,一直抽着烟。他的乐队成员,不仅仅是观众,都陷入了歇斯底里。该视频很快成为奥兹摇滚民间传说的一部分。
Bon 一直是 AC/DC 包中的小丑。他很乐意摆姿势拍照,嘴上挂着一个关节,或者穿着剪裁的短裤接受采访,腰带里塞着一根香蕉。什么都能引起笑声。围绕 Bon 的台下故事是传奇。在与 Bon 度过了热闹的几天后,Ol' 55 歌手 Jim Manzie 说:“我的摇滚教育已经基本完成了。”
Bad Boy Boogie 是第一部专注于 Bon 作为作词家、主唱和流氓的非凡天赋的传记。简而言之,真正的邦斯科特。
