Do they plan to replace the lead with a different actor who sounds just like the old one after the first reel?

Let me end the suspense over the title.

Let There Be Rock: The Bon Scott Story

MaxxLarge: Do they plan to replace the lead with a different actor who sounds just nothing like the old one after the first reel?

FTFY.

I even like some of the Brian Johnson stuff... but he doesn't sound any more like Bon Scott than Leonard Cohen sounds like George Michael.

And Brian needs to leave the Bon material alone. Every time I hear him try to growl out "Dirty Deeds" or "Problem Child", I die a little inside. I've heard literally dozens of cover bands do Bon's songs better.

In other news.... Ya wanna REALLY barf.... check out AC/DC's original lead douchenozzle^. If you've never seen it, give it a listen, it's hysterical. They could have ended up the Australian version of Winger.

I can summarize the movie...

His Daddy was workin' nine to five, when his Momma was havin' him.
By the time he was half alive, he knew what he was gonna be.
He left school and grew his hair.
They didn't understand, they wanted him to be respected as a doctor or a lawyer man.

But he had other plans.

Well he worked real hard and bought himself, a rock 'n' roll guitar.
He wanted to be on top some day, he wanted to be a star.
He could see his name in lights, and he could see the queue.
He had the devil in his blood, tellin' him what to do.

And he was all ears.

He was a rock 'n' roll singer
He heard it pays well.
He ain't no fool
He was a rock 'n' roll star.

Yes he are.

Promo shot?

I will watch this when it comes out. Early AC/DC is the shiat.

Brian Johnson sounds absolutely ZERO like Bon Scott, BTW. Has MaxxLarge ever actually heard Bon, or is he simply deaf?

My lawn. Off.

OlafTheBent: Promo shot?

So that's who's got the biggest balls of them all!

Nice headline.

AC/DC's Bon Scott's life to be turned into a movie. Still in the writing process, it is to be titled either "Highway to Hell" or "Damnit, Shouldn't Have Had That Last One"

More like "Damnit, Should Have Owned a Car With A Headrest."


If Scott hadn't passed out with his head tipped back over the car seat, he would have suffered nothing more than a hangover.

P.S. I have no idea if that's true.

FTF accuracy

The life of AC/DC's second singer Bon Scott, who died in 1980 Whoa, hold on. Second singer? Who was the first?

Saw AC/DC here the other night. Awesome show. Although Brian Johnson is no Bon, at least they do a lot of old stuff. Interesting tidbit: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was the best song of the evening. Super heavy and super intense; much more so than the studio version. Weird.

Epitaph:

He wasn't too old to hurry
Cause he wasn't too old to die
But he sure was hard to beat

Too soon, man, too soon!

Ride on, man. Ride on.

Major posing asshat named Dave Evans. Scroll up to my last post and hit the link. It's the original line-up singing "Can I Sit Next To You Girl". Sooooooooooooo funny. Like AC/DC went to a Halloween party dressed as Winger... maybe Dokken.

Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce.

Starring Jack Black as Bon Scott.

Jack Black would make a better Brian. How about Emo Phillips as Bon?

George Dolivo to do the overdubs...

/go ahead, pretend like you knew who that was

They already make a movie called Choke.

SPOILER ALERT:

He dies at the end of the movie

There's one man on Earth I seriously wish my future kid winds up nothing like, and totally the same, all at once:

And it's Bon.

"Someone once told me that there are people in the world that think AC/DC sucks. I ask them if they have ever been shot in the nuts with a nailgun. They say "No." I told them if anyone ever says AC/DC sucks in my presence - they'll learn."
