Free Music Notes for Bonfire
Free Music Review: Unbelievable lost opportunity
Hit: 1 Stars
What is being lost in each and every review lauding this box set on to seventh heaven is what WASN'T included. Like most bands, the Bon-era AC/DC had a backlog of B-sides and demos that never got released in the digital age, and a whole lot of them are NOT here. The Volts disk makes absolutely no sense - after the first five demos, we get a live Sin City from the "Midnight Special" (but nothing else from that show), She's Got Balls from Bondi Lifesaver (and again, nothing else from that show), School Days, It's a Long Way to the Top, and Ride On. School Days actually makes sense; it never got released in the U.S, and only hardcore AC/DC fans possess the imported TNT, where it first appeared. But why are It's a Long Way and Ride On included on a box set of rare Bon Scott material?!? Not only had the former been available stateside for 21 years at the time of Bonfire's release (on High Voltage), but the latter had been available for years and years on TWO different albums: Dirty Deeds and Who Made Who.
This is just the beginning of Bonfire's wrongheadedness and idiocy. Many have carped about Back in Black's inclusion here, and they're absolutely right. Everyone on earth - even non-AC/DC fans - owns a copy of Back in Black in some format, whether it's 8-track, cassette, vinyl, or CD. Note to Eastwest records: WE DON'T NEED BACK IN BLACK ANYMORE. Most of us have owned it for over 20 years. Justifying it as part of this box by saying it's the band's tribute to Bon is asinine. It's a Brian Johnson record, period.
That an entire disk was wasted on an album that has sold a bazillion copies at this point is bewildering. There were plenty of rare Bon songs that should have been in this box; most are still only available on bootlegs. They are: Stick Around and Love Song (from the Aussie High Voltage), Rock in Peace (from the Aussie Dirty Deeds), Fling Thing (the B-side of Jailbreak), Crabsody in Blue (from the Aussie Let There Be Rock), Carry Me Home (B-side of Dog Eat Dog), and Cold Hearted Man (from the European Powerage).
Inserting the European Powerage as disk 5, with its different mix and the Cold Hearted Man song, would have made more sense than Back in Black. Hell, including the band's first single (with Dave Evans on vocals), Can I Sit Next to You Girl/Rockin' in the Parlour, would've made more sense than Back in Black. Not a Bon recording, I know, but neither is Back in Black, and many AC/DC fans aren't even aware this single exists.
And anyway, if you're going to put a Brian album in a Bon collection, why not include all the rare Brian tunes, like Snake Eyes, Borrowed Time, and Down on the Borderline? Face it fanboys and sycophants, Bonfire is a dud. The first three disks and the first half of Volts are essential, but the rest of the box is inexcusably lame.
