Bad Boy Boogie: The True Story of AC/DC Legend Bon Scott

Bad Boy Boogie: The True Story of AC/DC Legend Bon Scott

Bad Boy Boogie: The True Story of AC/DC Legend Bon Scott

Bon Scott was once asked if he was AC or DC. ‘Neither,’ he grinned, ‘I’m the lightning flash in the middle.’ And that’s how he lived his life.

No one had the same skill with lyrics as Bon, who called his words ‘toilet poetry’, his ‘dirty ditties’. He could also vividly depict life on the road, best heard in the AC/DC classics ‘Long Way to the Top’ and ‘Highway to Hell’.

When Bon appeared on Countdown in March 1975, the impression he left was indelible. The ugliest schoolgirl to ever grace the small screen, Bon was a mess of tattoos and pigtails, wearing an awkwardly short skirt, all the while puffing on a ciggie. His bandmates, not just the audience, were in hysterics. The video quickly became part of Oz rock folklore.

Bon was always the joker in the AC/DC pack. He’d happily pose for a photograph with a joint dangling from his lips or be interviewed in cut-off shorts with a banana provocatively stuffed into his waistband. Anything to elicit a laugh. The off-stage stories surrounding Bon are legendary. After spending a lively couple of days with Bon, Ol’ 55 singer Jim Manzie said, ‘My rock-and-roll education was pretty much complete.’

Bad Boy Boogie is the first biography to focus on Bon’s remarkable gifts as a lyricist, frontman and rascal. In short, the real Bon Scott.

Test Press Serum Classic Techstep DnB [MIDI FXP]

Designed by one of the scenes leading DnB producers, ‘Serum Classic Techstep DnB’ delivers the sound of the mid-’90s and the early 2000s with precision and accuracy. Presenting you with 100 masterfully created presets inspired by some of the most significant hit-makers in Drum & Bass, including Ed Rush and Optical, TeeBee, Dom & Roland, Doc Scott, and the Moving Shadow and Metalheadz record labels, to name a few.

Techstep is a dark subgenre of Drum and Bass from the mid-1990s, and early 2000s. It is characterized by a dark, sci-fi-fi mood, near-exclusive use of synthesized or sampled sound sources, 2-step kicks and snares, and industrial and techno music influences, what some writers have described as a “clinical” sound. It shares with techno the technique of creating a high-energy collage from abstract, synthetic noises, including samples, bleeps and squelches.

The pack contains 15 accurately designed old-school Reece basslines, 35 speaker shaking basslines, 15 classic chords and keys, 15 style FX noises, 10 leads, and 10 pads.

The patches use all of Serum’s modulation parameters, including the four macro controls.
