WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR BON SCOTT (a continuation of our AC/DC Side 1: The Bon Scott Years episode from way back in 2020) is OUR greatest hits package from the iconic Bon Scott Years of AC/DC. And because we couldn’t include ALL of the tracks from this legendary era, there were quite a few that unfortunately got “Shot Down In Flames”. Having said that, we still managed to include everything we felt SHOULD be included which best represents the classic Bon era of AC/DC.
Find out how tasting the “after-tang” from “snooch smooching” is a lot like “when you’re used to the black and you get the green”. Brace yourself for our upcoming “Metal Nerdery apology tour” with a stop in “Australasia”, embrace the presence of the “Ghost of The Bunkerpoon”, and prepare for a story with a cast of characters that can only be described as “The Reverse Oreo”. Get ready to “mark the time” a LOT and remember that “Balls are BALLS, dude!” when you JOIN US because WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR BON SCOTT!!!
