<P> In 1956, the family moved to Fremantle . Scott joined the associated Fremantle Scots Pipe Band, learning the drums . He attended North Fremantle Primary School and later John Curtin College of the Arts until he dropped out at the age of 15; he spent a short time in Fremantle Prison's assessment centre and nine months at the Riverbank Juvenile Institution, relating to charges of giving a false name and address to the police, having escaped legal custody, having unlawful carnal knowledge, and stealing 12 gallons of petrol . He attempted to join the Australian Army, but was rejected and deemed "socially maladjusted". </P> <P> Scott's vocals were inspired by his idol, Little Richard . After working as a postman, bartender and truck packer, Scott started his first band, The Spektors, in 1966 as drummer and occasional lead singer . One year later the Spektors merged with another local band, the Winstons, and formed The Valentines, in which Scott was co-lead singer with Vince Lovegrove . The Valentines recorded several songs written by George Young of The Easybeats . "Every Day I Have to Cry" (a song originally written and sung by Arthur Alexander) made the local record chart . In 1970, after gaining a place on the National Top 30 with their single "Juliette", the Valentines disbanded due to artistic differences after a much - publicised drug scandal . </P> <P> Scott moved to Adelaide in 1970 and joined the progressive rock band Fraternity . Fraternity released the LPs Livestock and Flaming Galah before touring the UK in 1973, where they changed their name to Fang . During this time they played support slots for Status Quo and Geordie, whose front man, Brian Johnson, would become the lead singer of AC / DC after Scott's death . During this time, on 24 January 1972, Scott married Irene Thornton . </P> <P> In 1973, just after returning to Australia from the tour of the UK, Fraternity went on hiatus . Scott took a day job at the Wallaroo fertiliser plant and began singing with the Mount Lofty Rangers, a loose collective of musicians helmed by Peter Head (né Beagley) from Headband, who explained, "Headband and Fraternity were in the same management stable and we both split about the same time so the logical thing was to take members from both bands and create a new one...the purpose of the band was for songwriters to relate to each other and experiment with songs, so it was a hotbed of creativity". Other ex-Fraternity members also played with the band as did Glenn Shorrock pre Little River Band . During this time, Head also helped Scott with his original compositions . </P>
