Bon Fire


Will we ever get to see a movie about AC/DC in the Bon Scott era of AC/DC? If so what do you think it will be called? I think BON FIRE:THE MOVIE or something.

No,what i meant was a movie with actors playing tAC/DC when the bon era was taking place. hence the name BONFIRE:THE MOVIE, because it took place in the days of bon scott.

There were also a couple of TV shows that featured AC/DC with Bon. They were "Rock Goes To College" (recorded & filmed during the "Powerage" tour) and "Sights And Sounds" (recorded & filmed during the "Let There Be Rock" tour). I have a VHS tape with both of these shows somewhere in my house.

You mean a biography movie on Bon?

It's unlikely to happen for a long time. There has been ALOT of people who have wanted to make a movie of Bons life, but no permission has been given by ALBERTS to do so.

There is severel great books to read, I think one called THE LIFE AND TIMES OF BON was planned to be made into a movie, but if you read it, no one from AC/DC apart from past members have ever commented on a lot of things. There is a dark mysterious cloud over why, and a lot of rumours circulate about conspiracys, what happend to Bons black book, what really happend the night he died, what happend to the guy who owned the car he died in, and many many more things.

Really its just uncomfirmed fan tales. Some bio's you read like the Clinton Walker one and a few others briefly touch on it and can put an idea into someones head.

Recently one of the mysteries was revealed. One thing that did happen was that the guy who was with Bon the night he died took him home and left him in the car. The next day after Bon was found dead, he split and no one had heard of him since. But last year or this year, Rolling Stone (i think it was) ran a story about 25 years after BIB and had an article where thery had actualy talked to that guys son or nefue, they said he was living in Germeny and that he escaped the press because it was too much for him and it still effects him to this day. But as rumours would have it, over the years there has been all sorts of stroies about why he left, where he went, was it his real name, was he there for other reasons ect...

You may wanna check out the old elektra forum of AC/DC. It IS still there!!!!

But remember, nothing is concrete evidence unless you where there to see it. So it's just classified as rumours and myths and suspicions and nothing more.

Good luck finding what ya after.

A theatrical movie could be interesting, but made for TV movies look cheap. Take the Def Leppard movie ... please.
