Angus as said that the songs were only at the pre lyric riff/ jam stage and that Bon's only contribution was to sit in on drums on early sessions What if Ozzy had stayed in Sabbath in 1979 , there are early versions of the song Heaven & Hell with him winging random lyrics on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J.

Which seems to indicate that Bon most likely was working on some lyrics…It only seems logical and makes the most amount of sense that if you were the singer, and some song ideas started to come together, you would hum some of the sounds, and begin to formulate lyrical ideas to the general feeling or vibe of the song. He may not have shared it with the band yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand and realize your intensions about this topic, but I personally think that you are going overboard with all the what ifs... What if... I won the 1 Billion dollar Lottery Powerball??? and I suddenly became 666 million dollars richer (after taxes)??? Would I propose and offer to Page/Plant/Jones/Jason to play a private gig for me and all my Friends (and distractors) I have made on this "mighty" forum, for say, 100 million American Dollars. Do you even think that They would evens consider such a proposal if it really happened to be True??? What if... What if... I really bought the 1 billion dollar Powerball ticket but never took the time or effort to have it validated? (What if my Mother and Father never got married (or your parents). I think that would mean and indicate the you and Me would never would have been born). What if Led Zeppelin did not sell Their Souls to the Devil.

Would They still be as Big and as Popular as They became??? I heard this joke from an episode of the Big Bang Theory and I thought I can share it with you. Penny tells the four guys this joke to pull their attention away from a new girl that just moved into a flat above them, and here it is:(A physicist goes to an ice cream parlour every week and orders an ice cream for himself and offers an ice cream for the empty stool sitting next to him. This goes on for a while until the owner asks him what he is doing. The man said “well I’m a physicist and Quantum Mechanics teaches us that it is possible for the matter above this stool to spontaneously turn into a beautiful woman who might accept my offer and fall in love with me”The owner says” well there are a lot of single beautiful woman come in here every day, so why don’t you buy an ice cream for one of them and they might fall in love with you”. And the physicist says “yeah, but what are the odds of that happening”!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie29 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 What if Decca had signed The Beatles Page and Jones would've most likely played in / on the sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslgarlic Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Page and Jones would've most likely played in / on the sessions. But no George Martin ( Mr Catalyst ) , they may have kept Pete Best too , probably ended up another " Liverpudlian sound" nostalgia act on the tour circuit Then they would n't have the same effect on popular music or culture ,, butterflies wings and all that would they have still signed The Rolling Stones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Not giving Brian Johnson much credit .... he had a lot to prove I think Brian Johnson did a fantastic job on Back in Black. I just think it would have been cool to compare the difference between Brian and Bon for that album. It is a real shame that Brian hasn't written a single lyric to an AC/DC song since 1987. I find it odd that Brian says he was a weak song writer, because on Back in Black the writing was as very good and For Those About To Rock We Salute You was good as well.

I think his addictions would still have derailed him and Led Zeppelin at some point. And they still would have had a drummer and manager with their own substance abuse issues.

I think his addictions would still have derailed him and Led Zeppelin at some point. And they still would have had a drummer and manager with their own substance abuse issues. substance abuse apart , had Bonham and more telling Plant's son survived may have of had a future , they may have gone lts of different ways , more and more into 80's technology like Plant's solo albums , or 80's MTV rock and ballads like Whitesnake et al ....... The Beatles were going to reform according to hints in Lennon's last interview , god know's what 80's beatles music would have sounded like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
