HIGHWAY TO HELL
By David J. Stewart
"But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee..." —Luke 12:20
Sadly, at the young age of only 33, AC/DC's lead singer Bon Scott (pictured far right), "drank himself to death," according to the official coroner's report...
Bon Scott recorded six studio albums with AC/DC, beginning with 1974's "High Voltage." It was shortly after the release of the somewhat foreshadowing sixth album, 1979's "Highway to Hell," that Scott died (February 19, 1980). In keeping with his rowdy persona, the official coroner's report stated that Scott had drank himself to death. "Highway to Hell" sold over a million copies during its initial run (it has sold seven million to date) and climbed to place at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.

Scott epitomized the role of a God-hating rebel who abused drugs and indulged in sinful living. His death is just one of hundreds in the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Shame.
Scott was found dead in his car after an indulgent binge left his body lifeless and his soul at the reality of the "Highway to Hell" which Bon Scott recorded just months prior to his tragic death. Scott had been taking medication for liver damage prior to his death.1
Scott, who wore a Satanic pentagram around his neck, sang in his infamous song entitled Highway to Hell...
"Hey Satan, paid my dues, playing in a rockin' band, I'm on a highway to hell."
Circus Magazine reported:
"Throughout the AC/DC catalogue, there is a disturbing correlation between pleasure/sex/drunkenness and unconsciousness/death, which has now reached its tragic culmination."
AC/DC's philosophy and music not only drove Bon Scott to a premature death, but the U.S. Army used AC/DC's music as "psychological torture" to drive Manuel Noriega out of the Vatican Embassy and into prison. During the American invasion of Panama in 1989, troops blasted AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" in order to drive Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega from the Vatican embassy where he had taken refuge (a tactic also used by the FBI at Waco). What do you think this type of mind shattering music (noise) does to a teenager's mind?
AC/DC was up-front with their fans when they made it clear that they not only achieved fame as a rock band by Satan's power, but that also desired to drag their listeners into eternal damnation with them...
"if God's on the left, I'm on the right, I'm gonna take ya to hell, I'm gonna get'cha, Satan got'cha, Hell's Bells, If you're into evil, you're a friend of mine."
Can you imagine having to answer to God for putting such evil thoughts into the hearts of millions of teenagers? Bon Scott's eternal destiny in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15) will be hotter than anyone could possibly imagine.
Thank God, He has made a narrow road which leads to eternal life and Heaven for those who come by faith as guilty sinners to be washed in the precious blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ... "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1st Peter 1:18,19).
