INTERVIEWER....how did you hook up with Bon Scott ?
ANGUS....Bon was drivin in adelaide, he worked for an agent that bought us to town, Bon was drivin he was the chauffer and me and Mal knew he was a better singer than a driver and we said why dont you come along and have a chance at playin with us and he said oh well err i'll think about it....i think he was married then but he said i'm in transition...but when he joined us he said you know ah, his wife said to him, well it's either me or the band Bon and he said ahh sorry honey it's the band, i like em better.......he really wanted to play drums with us and when he first came around he kept always hoppin on the drum kit and i said well i hope you can sing better than you can drum...from the
moment he first performed with us on stage , i mean it was like a magic spark.
