8. Which of these from the Bon Scott era is not an 'unreleased on an album' AC/DC song?

Answer: Hair Of The Dog (S.O.B)

Many people have thought Nazareth's song "Hair Of The Dog" was an AC/DC recording. Mostly due to downloading an mp3 of it where someone had written it was by AC/DC on the file. That song, as well as Deep Purples "Smoke On The Water" and a version of "Back in Black" with "Rare Bon Scott Recording" written on it have made a lot of rumours and questions asked about if they are AC/DC.

The truth is AC/DC did not write, nor have ever preformed Hair Of The Dog or Smoke On The Water. And the infamous "so called" version of Bon Scott singing Back In Black is a cover version of the song with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals.

But interesting to point out, it is in fact Ex-AC/DC drummer Simon Wright banging away on the skins!
