Former AC/DC Bassist Mark Evans Depicts Bon Scott Era In New Book
17 January 2012Bassist Mark Evans, author of the new book Dirty Deeds: My Life Inside/Outside Of AC/DC (Bazillion Points Books), joined AC/DC in 1975 and remained with them through their barroom days, their first international tours, and the majority of the Bon Scott-era albums: High Voltage, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, T.N.T., Let There Be Rock, and the US-only '74 Jailbreak collection.
In a new interview with No Treble, Evans talks writing, AC/DC dynamicsВ andВ the late Bon Scott.
On writing his book Dirty Deeds: "The band tends to be a little secretive. They're private sort of guys. And it's just paying back all the support from over the years and for people who ask me what it was like to be in the band. So yeah, I just wanted to put fans in the band like it was back in the Bon Scott days. We had a whole lot of fun, let me tell you."
On his friendship with the late Bon Scott: "The public perception of Bon was this hard-drinking, hell-raising sort of guy, and he was. There was definitely part of him that was that, but he was a very warm guy. He just had impeccable manners, man, and he was a really great friend to have. He used to say, 'I'm a great bunch of guys,' and he was."
