| Enciclopedia Rock anni '70. Edizioni Arcana, Italy. | "Gli AC/DC perdono nel 1980 Bon Scott, fulminato in scena da una scarica elettrica del microfono." [tr. "In 1980 AC/DC lost Bon Scott, electrocuted on stage by the microphone's electric power."] | Bon Scott died in London in a friend's car, after heavy drinking; drunk and fallen asleep on the backseat, during the night he choked and died suffocated by his own vomit. The band was not even on tour at the time. |
| Hard! (italian hard&heavy magazine), January 1998, page 41. | "In questo momento gli AC/DC sono al lavoro per completare il nuovo disco Locked & Loaded" [tr. "AC/DC are currently working to complete the new album, called Locked & Loaded"] | Locked & Loaded was actually just a Jackyl song (already out at the time), featuring AC/DC's Brian Johnson as guest. |
| Metal Hammer Italy, October 1995, page 11. Article by Stefano Pera. | "Bon (Scott, il primo cantante della band, morto nel 1978)" [tr. "Bon (Scott, the first singer of the band, who died in 1978)"] | Bon Scott died on February 19, 1980. |
| Classic Rock (UK), January 2000, article about Bon Scott.[thanks to robdog] | "Two years ago, AC/DC released the boxed set Bonfire - A Tribute to Bon Scott. It contained all the classic Bon tracks like Highway To Hell, Ride On and Shot Down In Flames, as well as many previously unreleased earlier versions of Bon songs. Most notably `Back Seat', which later became Beating Around The Bush from Back in Black (with different lyrics sung by Johnson)..." | The song reported as `Back Seat' (the title is Back Seat Confidential, BTW) is Beating Around The Bush on the Highway To Hell album and therefore is sung by Bon Scott himself; it's not featured on Back In Black, nor any version of the song was ever sung by Brian Johnson on any studio album. |
| Chitarre (Italian guitar magazine), issue 118, article on AC/DC. The issue refers to the "Ballbreaker" period (1995). | "E proprio più di venti milioni di dischi venduti in tutto il mondo sono oggi la grande eredità che la band può vantare al suo attivo!" [tr. "Over 20 million records sold worldwide are what the band can today be proud of!"] | By the time, AC/DC had officially just passed the 80 (eighty) million albums sales. A little bit more than twenty, uh? |
| Sounds (UK), 1979, article by Paul Lewis.[thanks to Bob Fiddaman] | "...This maelstorm of guitar thrashing from schoolboy fetishist Andy Young is so much a permanent feature of any AC/DC track that, in the interests of brevity, it will hitherto be referred to as The 'AS'..." | The name is Angus Young. |
