On the Efficiency of Ac/Dc: Bon Scott Versus Brian Johnson
ON THE EFFICIENCY OF AC/DC: BON SCOTT VERSUS BRIAN JOHNSON ROBERT J. OXOBY* We use tools from experimental economics to address the age-old debate regarding who was a better singer in the band AC/DC. Our results suggest that (using wealth maximization as a measure of ‘‘better’’) listening to Brian Johnson (relative to listening to Bon Scott) resulted in ‘‘better’’ outcomes in an ultimatum game. These results may have important implications for settling drunken music debates and environmental design issues in organizations. (JEL C7, C9, D6, Z1) I. INTRODUCTION there exists a common debate.

Németh Gáspár: Az AC/DC Albumborítói (1975–2008)
TIPOGRÁFIA KURZUS 2009/2010. ELS Ő FÉLÉV Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem, Bölcsészettudományi Kar Az AC/DC albumborítói (1975–2008) Németh Gáspár Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem Bölcsészettudományi Kar, 1088 Budapest, Múzeum krt. 4 ([email protected]) Bevezetés Az albumborítók tervezése talán az egyik legnehezebb feladat az aprónyomtatványok létrehozásában. Egyszerre kell megfelelni az együttes stílusának és a rajongók elvárásainak, ugyanakkor (még ismeretlen együtteseknél) figyelemfelkelt őnek, vev őcsalogatónak is kell lennie az adott borítónak. Elemzésemben bemutatom az egyes tipográfiai elemek (szövegek és képek) ismétl ődését illetve jelképpé válását az els ő, 1975- ös High Voltage cím ű lemezt ől a legutóbbi, 2008-as Black Ice -ig. 1975 High Voltage (ausztrál kiadás) (1. kép) Az els ő, csak Ausztráliában kiadott lemez megjelenése egyszer űséget tükröz, egy trafóházat láthatunk, rajta egy táblával, ami kett ős értelemmel bír: az AC/DC a zenekar neve, valamint az egyenáram/ váltóáram nemzetközi jelölése, a High Voltage pedig egyszersmind az album címe, valamint a magasfeszültségre figyelmeztet ő jelzés. Kés őbbi szemmel nézve már itt megjelentek bizonyos elemek, amelyek kés őbb az együttes védjegyévé, jelképévé váltak, különös tekintettel a villámra, mely szinte változatlan maradt az évek során, míg a bet űk változtak. Az egyszer űségre, a banda nyers zenéjére és szövegeire is utal a borító, különös tekintettel a bal alsó sarokban látható kutyára. 1. High Voltage (ausztrál verzió) – 1975 1975 T.N.T. (ausztrál kiadás) (2. kép) A második nagylemez még egyszer űbb megjelenésre törekszik, szinte mindenféle díszít ő elem elt űnik, szigorúan információközl ő szerepet kap a borító, csak a zenekar illetve az album neve jelenik meg, graffitihez hasonló kerettel, az el őző albumon is használt, groteszk, verzál bet űtípussal.

Let There Be Rock: the AC/DC Phenomenon
Proceedings of the 24th Association of Public Authority Surveyors Conference (APAS2019) Pokolbin, New South Wales, Australia, 1-3 April 2019 Let There Be Rock: The AC/DC Phenomenon Volker Janssen APAS Publications Officer [email protected] ABSTRACT In a successful career spanning more than 45 years, AC/DC have persistently ignored trends in popular music and resolutely stuck to their bluesy, stripped-to-the-bone brand of high- voltage rock ’n’ roll. This paper investigates the AC/DC phenomenon by examining song lyrics and connotations, the band’s work rate, and the vocalist debate (Bon Scott vs. Brian Johnson). Furthermore, a group of 82 hardcore fans is examined to get a better understanding of their passion for the band, and it is outlined how the AC/DC brand is increasingly being marketed to a larger consumer base not limited to music lovers. It was found that the word ‘rock’ is by far the most prominent in AC/DC song titles but lyrically almost half of all AC/DC songs revolve around sex. While the frequency of album releases slowed considerably over time, the band generally played 150 live gigs following each studio album. Bon Scott material continues to account for at least 45% of the songs included in typical AC/DC live sets. Analysis of a questionnaire revealed how committed the cohort of hardcore fans is. They generally became serious fans in their early teens, prefer the older material, experienced their first gig during early adulthood and enjoyed up to 124 gigs since. This paper also demonstrates how one can collect, analyse, interpret and present data.

The Adventures of Bon Scott Dissertation
CREATIVE WRITING COMPONENT: BAD BOY BOOGIE — THE ADVENTURES OF BON SCOTT DISSERTATION: BON SCOTT AND THE BLUES LYRIC FORMULA James P. Quinton Bachelor of Arts (Hons.), UWA. Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (Hons.), UWA. This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Arts (Creative Writing) at The University of Western Australia. School of Humanities 2015 ABSTRACT Creative Component: Bad Boy Boogie —The Adventures of Bon Scott Dissertation: Bon Scott and the Blues Lyric Formula Bad Boy Boogie — The Adventures of Bon Scott is a historical fiction on the life of Bon Scott. Scott was the original singer in the Australian band AC/DC. He was 33, in 1980, when he died. The novel intentionally blurs the boundaries between fact and fiction. By drawing on available literature and interviews with people who knew Scott, the novel develops a picture and chronology of his life. With this picture I distorted the chronology for dramatic effect. Some of the characters are based on real people, and some are fabricated. The objective is to bring Scott to life. The hope is that readers will get a sense of the context and circumstances that bought about his choices. The intended style of the novel is the picaresque form. The rogue protagonist, Bon Scott, works his way through life moving from one injustice to another. Scott meets most challenges with wit and humour. He is barely able to hold his job and often flirts with the boundaries of criminality. When it appears the main character has finally achieved his goal, once again something or someone conspires to restrict his advance.
