In November 1974, Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott replaced Dave Evans as front man of the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, and so began the journey for both the band and the man until Bon's untimely death in the back seat of a friends car from alcohol poisoning in February of 1980. Bon may have passed, but his legend still lives on:
In 2003 Bon Scott's final studio album with AC/DC, 1979's Highway to Hell ranked 199 on Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
In 2004 the song "Highway to Hell" that Bon Scott cowrote with Malcolm and Angus Young ranked 254 on Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
In the July 2004 issue of UK magazine Classic Rock, Scott was rated as number one in a list of the "100 Greatest Frontmen," ahead of Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
On 6 May 2006, the town of Kirriemuir in Scotland held a service and unveiled a Caithness stone slab commemorating the singer.
In 2008, the National Trust of Australia decreed his grave important enough to be included on the list of classified heritage places.It is reportedly the most visited grave in Australia
On 24 February 2008, a bronze statue of Bon Scott was unveiled in Perth, Western Australia. The statue which portrays Scott atop a Marshall amplifier was installed at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour in October 2008
For me, Bon will be best remembered for the AC/DC song - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
