The Eiffel Tower and AC/DC
Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2011 11:36 amOne-time AC/DC bassist Mark Evans:
...in April 1977, Evans finds himself at the end of two days straight of rampaging through Paris with lead singer Bon Scott...As the sun comes up over the Boulevard Saint-Germain, Evans and Scott repair to the hotel balcony to share one last bottle of Bordeaux.
''We were well and truly lit up and savouring a stunning Parisian sunrise,'' Evans recounts. ''Life was good. I'd come a long way from Prahran - and in a pretty short time. As I was having a serious gloat to Bon, who was somewhat the worse for wear after two days on the turps, he stared fixedly at the Eiffel Tower with an odd look on his face.
'''What's up, mate?' I asked him.
''Slowly, Bon turned to me. 'You know,' he said, 'there's a tower just like that in Paris.'''
