Stevie Wright was offered the singers gig in AC/DC before Bon Scott, and turned it down. Would have to rate as one of the very worst career moves ever.
see if you can track down a book called "Sorry: The Wretched Tale of Little Stevie Wright" written by Jack Marx. a harrowing read, a life of alcohol and drug addictions, missed opportunities and ruined friendships.
Yes Voixautre,I agree with you a thousand percent! An extremely underrated Australian band.

ReplyDeletecan you imagine jumping from a band called The Easybeats to ACDC? Would have loved to hear ACDC's version of "Friday on My Mind" ;)
