hi all back in black was originally written by bon and the young bros most of the material was bon’s after his death and when they replaced him with Brian they released back in black and toured.
I am a die heart Bon Scott fan and have been since i was 11 when i met the ledgend. I celebrate his birthday and the day he died every year and have made many friends who do the same. Bon deserves respect as he was and always will be a ledgend of rock
RIP Bon ride on

hi spuds;

well matey many actually believe that every song ac/dc did after bon joined he had a hand in… we believe they used his “book of rock” lyrics book for direction and topics to include in the albums after bon died..(not just back in black)

and that even with his book.. they could not replicate the final cut of songs that bon had spent his life practicing on..

believe it not..

whatever happened to bon scott will remain a mystery
but my thoughts ac/dc has not been able to replicate the back in black album even to a smaller degree as far as sales with bon each album was better i truly believe bon had a hand in the songs from back in black just my feeling listen to have a drink on me i think is pure bon scott
just my thoughts rest in peace to one great rocker

Re: Comment by ‘Andrew Stones’ on this blogsite — Your statement that Sir Paul McCartney currently has only a “copy” of his birth certificate, and not the original, is an erroneous assumption. He has the original copy, that was in his father’s [James] possession at the time of his death, in 1976. Jim McCartney’s widow, Angela, then took possession of it when she and her daughter Ruth moved out of their home, Rembrandt, and went to live in Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, being strapped for money, they sold the certificate to a pair of memorabilia collectors, who then sold it to one Marshall Terrill. I met Terrill in 1990, who then expressed to me that he was willing to personally return it to McCartney at his [Paul's] convenience … for only the chance to briefly meet him, and to hand it to him. At his request, I then became a sort of “mediator” between himself and McCartney’s London office regarding the proposal to return the certificate to Paul. His personal assistant responded back, requesting that the certificate first be authenticated as being genuine. After going to the trouble of having it examined and authenticated, Paul apparently changed his mind and through his PA, requested that it simply be mailed to him in care of his office. The “negotiation” stalled at that point, and the certificate went on the auction block in Houston during November 1990. Despite the media reports at the time … the sale of the certificate did not go through. The certifcate was then returned to Terrill, who later sold it privately. It then went through one more private sale before it finally went on the auction block again — this time in Tokyo. That is when it was sold for the final time …. to a so-called “anonymous” bidder for a very large amount of money. The bidder? None OTHER than … Paul McCartney! Oh … I left out the “best” part of this drama! Briefly back to the auction in Houston in 1990 … McCartney was reportedly “incensed” at not being able to get his certificate back via the mail … so according to his attorney at that time, HE decided to SUE in an attempt to retrieve it! However, he backed down from that idea when advised that it would be futile [not to mention looking unseemly] to do so considering the existing documented proof that he had the opportunity to have the certificate returned to him at absolutely NO expense! Crazy, huh? Well, let’s put it THIS way … Many years later, a friend of mine briefly met Paul in Houston at a private backstage meet-and-greet, who commented to him, “Y’know, Paul, originally you didn’t have to pay ANY money to have your birth certifcate back!” To which “Sir Paul” looked embarrassed and too uncomfortable to respond. And THAT’S the TRUE story of Paul’s birth certificate. He didn’t get it (or a copy) off Ebay, okay.

Look everybody,
No matter how he died, chocking on his vomit, alcohol poisoning,cold outdoor weather conditions or any and all combinations of the above, Does it really matter at this point ??? We lost one of the greatest voices in rock & roll. In my opinion, if it was up to me, i would rather have Bon back with us ( with absolutely no disrespect for Brian Johnson ) than to try to figure how he really died, let’s face it wont bring him back. REST IN PEACE Bon

SO THE SELLER MADE A MODERATE PROFIT… AND NOW A FAN WILL HAVE THAT CERTIFICATE FRAMED AND PUT UP ON SOME WALL MOST LIKELY ALREADY PLASTERED WITH AC/DC-BON SCOTT STUFF…

SURE I CAN RELATE TO SOME PEOPLE THINKING ITS SLIGHTLY OFF TASTE… BUT AS FOR CONTACTING THE SELLER AND ASKING PECULIAR QUESTIONS WELL FOR ME THAT IS EVEN MORE OFF TASTE…

EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT WHATS NORMAL… LOOK AT THOSE WHO VISIT THE CEMETARY!!! NOW THATS ANOTHER TOPIC WHERE SOME WOULD SAY YOUR A WEIRDN IF YOU WERE TO GO THERE… YET OTHERE MAKE THAT JOURNEY ON A WEEKLY BASIS…

OFF TOPIC I HAVE NOTED AN INCREASE RECENTLY IN THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR CARS ACTUALLY INSIDE THE FREMANTLE CEMETARY GROUNDS AND PARKING CLOSE TO BONS GRAVE TO HAVE A LOOK…

THE REASON THE CEMETARY LEAVES THOSE GATES OPEN IS TO GIVE FRAIL PEOPLE ACCESS…

FOR ME THATS FAR WORSE THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE DISCUSSED ABOUT THE CERTIFICATE…
IF YOU GOT LEGS PEOPLE…USE THEM!!!

Bad form, making money out of something such as this dont think any fan would want something such as this or indeed make profit form it!! Buy one of his cd’s instead
