Let There Be Rock



30 years ago, in the morning hours of Febuary 20th 1980 australian Rock-singer Bon Scott(first from the right) was pronounced dead in a London hospital, cause of death: He drunk himself to death. He suffocating on his own vomit. He was just 33 years old.
Bon Scott is THE voice of AC/DC and with him, the tattooed drinkin' hellrazor on vocals the band recorded their best songs imo. Anthems like 'T.N.T', 'Rocker', 'It's A Long Way To The Top', 'Highway To Hell', 'Dirty Deeds', 'Beatin' Around The Bush' and 'Let There Be Rock'.


In the beginning
back in nineteen fifty five
man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show
'n' all that jive
The white man had the schmaltz
the black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
but Tschaikovsky had the news, he said

Let there be light, and there was light
Let there be sound, and there was sound
Let there be drums, there was drums
Let there be guitar, there was guitar
Let there be ROCK
