About this episode
In this edition of Tape Spaghetti, Blake & Scott dig into the tragic end of AC/DC’s first era and the loss of their original high voltage frontman, Bon Scott.
Was his death rock ’n’ roll excess - or something else?
Along the way, the guys explore the two distinct legacies defined by Scott’s raw swagger and Brian Johnson’s arena-shaking growl—and what it takes for a band to survive tragedy without losing its soul.
They also expound on how AC/DC managed their inconceivably remarkable rebound with Back in Black — one of the most legendary albums ever recorded.
Press play and prepare to be thunderstruck by the greatest rebound story in hard rock's history.
