Summary

Today I sit down for some more AC/DC history with the former Bass Player of AC/DC Mark Evans.

Mark and I go deep into Mark's history with AC/DC including his Audition, The Early Tours, Bon Scott and The Recording of Let There Be Rock.

Mark is now playing with the Australian legends Rose Tattoo and hopes to be back out on the road this year.

It was an honor to talk to Mark and finally get to hear some of these amazing stories.
