I remember going to their concert in1983 and they started playing this song and my sister took out some cotton and put it in her ears. I was so embarrassed. 😁
I'm just gonna say it: Back in Black, front to back, is simply THE greatest rock and roll album ever recorded. There are some contenders (Boston and Appetite for Destruction and Rubber Soul and Sticky Fingers come to mind) but... Yes.
This AC/DC song has an R&B-style groove... and it was literally the last song recorded for the 'Back in black' album in 1980... According to (the late) Malcolm Young (guitar), the band had 9 songs done for the record... but their management, label & producer felt they needed 1 more song, a slower track to balance out the album. Angus & Malcolm Young came up w/ the riff and put lyrics about their belief in their music and a direct shot against TV preachers who were constantly calling for rock music and the rock clubs to be banned. Malcolm told Brian Johnson (vocals) to come up w/ a preacher's sermon to start off the song, and Johnson came up w/... "Hey there, all you middle men..." and "Rock n' roll ain't noise pollution" became a crowd favorite in AC/DC concerts 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Yessir. They had the courage to go ahead without Bon, unlike Led Zep when Bonham died. To be fair, their works after BIB were not as good as the ones with Bon, but still very solid. Led Zep may not have got back up on their feet without the powerhouse, so good call anyway ig. Great music all around!
I totally agree with the other suggestions for "For those about to rock".It's one of my favorite AC/DC songs and I have been a fan from their beginning.The only thing better than AC/DC is MORE AC/DC.Keep going down this rabbit hole,you will enjoy it.
Bear in mind also that this album is Brian's first, and the band's first since the death of Bon. It adds extra meaning to ''rock and roll is never gonna die''
When ACDC hired Brian as lead singer, he almost didn't get the gig; he was kipping in the back of his mate's van in north east England. His mate was offered the job instead, but turned it down as he and his band were mid tour. His mate was (still is) Noddy Holder - lead singer of Slade. Feel free to check out any of their records - he has a similar voice but not as raw/gravelly as Brian...
Brian Johnson turned down the offer to audition for the band but then had an offer to sing on a hoover commercial in london So three days later he went to london to record the commercial and then went to audition for AC/DC on the same day
I honestly thought my rock music was dying, my heart was broken, then the unbelievable happened , “reactor’s” horns up to the reactor’s for not letting rock and roll die🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love you guys SOOOOOO MUCH!! To see you grow to appreciate and Love Rock & Roll as much as I have, Warms my Heart. Keep a learning and I'll keep Smiling 😃
GOD I LOVE YOU GUYS AND THESE REACTIONS!! THX SO MUCH FOR STEPPING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE A YEAR AGO AND GIVING THIS GREAT MUSIC A CHANCE!!! THIS GROWTH HAS BEEN THRILLING AND A BLAST TO WATCH!!! AND SUCH GREAT INSIGHT!!!
I absolutely love this song . It is like a statement about rock n roll. For me, it will never die or get old. AC/DC is one band I will listen to forever. So many awesome songs whether it is Bon Scott or Brian Johnson on lead vocals.
Although I love the song, they cannot react to "Big Balls." TH-cam would block it. It's a pity, though. That and Prince's "Darling Nikki" would make both of them blush.
The best breakdown to the meaning of this song I've heard "The title "Have a Drink on Me" is an old Australian saying to someone who has passed on. This being Bon Scott, Brian thought it'd be best to share a toast to the mighty Rock 'n' Roll legend, not through an actual drink, but through a song." One other great song from the Back and Black Album I think you guys should check out is "Have a Drink on me"
I loved your reaction Guys. I'm a 72 yr old Aussie, and have always loved their music, along with our other artists and bands from 60s to the 90s as well as many from overseas.
This song closes out the BEST Rock n Roll album of all time... PERIOD ! "Back In Black" was my first heavy album as a 12 year old !... Really my first "adult" album... That year, it was just before grading, exams were over, just waiting for report cards, and I was running back to school from lunch via a shortcut on a path through the woods and I was running really fast, making good time when I tripped on a small stump and fell into a smashed broken beer bottle. When I got up there was a curved piece of broken glass imbedded in the palm of my hand that I had to pull out and it was GUSHING blood ! So I jammed my hand in the crook of my other elbow to keep pressure on it, just SOAKING my faded jean jacket with blood and started to retrace my path back home, but I knew with the loss of blood that there would be no way I'd make it, so I stopped a younger girl I knew whose mother I knew was a nurse and asked her if her mom had gone to work yet and she hadn't, so she took me to her home and her mom bandaged my hand and drove me down to the hospital she worked at a couple of hours early for her shift lol. I remember so vividly being in the emergency room bed, my mom arriving and the doctor examining my wound. My mom was describing the doctor feeling around in the wound for foreign debris and my mom was showing me that "he's got his finger in there like this !" and she mimed her finger rotating around inside the gap between her thumb and index finger of her other hand LOL and I was like near fainting and almost throwing up LOL. And then when it came time to stitch it up, the bed next to mine had a drunk guy getting his stomach pumped and he was thrashing around and making the curtain between our cubicles wave wildly and the doctor's hands were shaking nervously as he was inserting the needle to freeze my hand for stitches LOL.. So there I was, the first month of summer vacation with my hand bandaged up, couldn't go swimming or playing in the woods or any baseball or anything, just up in my room with a record player / stereo system that I had just got for grading for my room that I had just moved into up in the attic a few months before and my first adult album I got for it, "Back In Black" and because I didn't have the full use of my hand I just played, and played repeatedly over and over that entire album all summer ! GOOD TIMES !
This is why I watch music reactions. You two have discovered what many of us out here in our 50's, 60's and 70's have known our whole lives. Rock music rules!
Next you gotta do SHOOT TO THRILL, DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP, WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE (Studio version), NIGHT PROWLER. All Bangers that you will go crazy over. 🔥🔥🔥
Night prowler is such a heavy ominous song. I love it, my favorite from them. Not the reason I love it, Richard Ramirez, the night stalker killer claimed night prowler was his inspiration.
Got to love Angus Young. What an entertainer!!! Thunderstruck Back in Black Hells Bells Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Some of my favorites. Congratulations on 250,000 members of the Rob Squad Family. 👍👍✌️✌️🎶🎶💕💕 All your hard work is paying off!!! Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Angus and Malcolm Young of AC/DC occasionally played with the Rolling Stones in 2003. These rare and memorable performances are very raw and fun to watch. Their version of "Rock Me Baby" is full of great solos and interactions between members of both bands. The Rolling Stones Live at Toronto Rocks With AC/DC - Rock Me Baby - 2003 (Remastered)
I read a story about when they were in living in South Melbourne in '76, when Bon was still with the band. They used to get a lot of complaints about the volume of their rehearsals. Apparently, one day/ night, someone walked past the block of flats they lived in complaining & shouting abuse. One of them, &, I think it was Bon, put their head out the windows & shouted back "Rock & roll ain't noise pollution!" Malcolm remembered this, like so many other things that inspired so many great songs. Brian wrote some lyrics &, there's another hit song!
I’ve never heard anyone react to this classic before so thanks so much for taking the time. It’s such an underrated song. The whole Back in Black album is fire and there’s not a bad song on it.
Thank you guys.made an old guy smile today.keep the smile.rock n roll is good for smiles.gets contagious and you don't need to wear a mask.social distancing is not allowed.
Can't say I've ever heard this particular rendition of this song. Everything I saw and heard told me it was truly live. Can we all just appreciate the stellar sound quality and performance here?
Hard, Loud , in your face rock n roll. No make-up or crazy hair. The only gimmick is Angus' school boy outfit. They just stand there and absolutely blast it out. 50 years and counting!
Way back in the day, some critic was reviewing the new AC DC album, and said (in a very derogatory way) that it sounded just like their last 10 albums. To which Brian Johnson responded, "I'm very insulted by that comment. We have 23 albums that sound exactly the same!" It's great to see the two of you head-banging to ACDC what a difference a year makes🎸🎶🎼
If you want to hear Angus do a long solo, listen to the song Ride On. He does too, the first one is short but the second one is long and brilliant. I saw them live and it was about three times as long as the one on the record, but that one is still a classic.
Angus has more energy on stage than any performer I have ever seen. I have experienced one of his long solo and he takes a 2 sec rest and starts right into the next song tearing it up. It was a joy to watch him play.
AC/DC was my first real concert. October 26th, 1983 at Kemper Arena (Kansas City). I camped out overnight at the mall to buy tickets, which cost a whopping $13.50 back then. It was their "Flick of the Switch" tour. I wasn't even old enough to drive, yet!!! Fastway opened for them. Their biggest hit was Say What You Will. I haven't heard that one in a long time!!!
The album Back in Black was recorded in 1980...Lead singer Brian Johnson had just joined the band after Bon Scott died(rip)...and they made this album in 7 weeks...amazing!
I was in 6th grade when Back in Black came out and that was when the jam boxes were in style. I remember like yesterday my friend and I just playing this over and over during recess... Good Times!!!!
Jay if you love Brian's voice, then you have to listen to Jimmy Barnes, another Aussie legend. I would suggest "When Something is Wrong With My Baby" ,with John Farnham live. You won't be disappointed. Greetings from Australia😃
ACDC is amazing. Ive loved them for so long, and as an older man I can assure you that ROCKNROLL Aint Noise Pollution. Loved seeing you rock and smile throughout this amazing song. ACDC has so many great songs. Itd be a long time before you ran out of material from them
Thank you for having open minds. "Rock 'n'Roll is one of the best genres out there " Having an open mind to music, and everything else in the world, has been so enriching. There's sooooo much to learn.
My first venture into ROCK. AC/DC's Back in Black. The bells tolling set the mood, then they went upbeat and hard- the album ends with this song, and it's always been a favorite. I listened to the album without videos, so the imagination ran wild. Starts off like a band sitting around an empty bar doing a sound check, Angus just plucking a few notes. Brian Johnson gets up out of his chair, grabs a pack of smokes and taps out a cigarette. Walking up to the microphone he flicks open the zippo and lights the cigarette. The moment has struck him as it has Angus, he laments "Alright!" Scanning the darkly lit room he see a few business people sitting at the bar, signing contracts, confirming liquor orders, handing out pay checks. A thought occurs to him, this is a bad ass riff and they are Oblivious!!! and the he belts out..........and then the rest of the band joins in.
This was on the Back In Black album and it was recorded in one take with no post production. If you listen closely to the beginning, you can hear Brian exhale right before he starts to sing.
Ever since I first hear the "Back In Black" album in 1981, AC/DC has been my favorite rock band. No other band gets my heart pumping, my feet tapping and my head banging like they do.
These dudes actually put a crack in the floor of the stadium when they played in my home town when I was in about the 6th or 7th Grade. Broke. The. Floor. Rock & Roll, baby.
I love that groove. Every song on that album is solid. There are not many albums I can listen to over and over through every song, but this is definitely one you can put on replay for hours.
I concur with the comments. For Those About to Rock is the ultimate AC DC rocker! I saw AC DC in 1983 at the LA Forum and stood on the floor in front of the stage. Unforgettable! Thought I would go deaf after For Those About to Rock because of the cannon booms but I was young and loved it!!
Back in Black was the first rock album I e er had. I won the vinyl on the boardwalk down the Jersey shore when I was 7 years old and I’ve been Rockin out e er since! AC/DC are my all time favorite band, and I pray they do one more tour! I’ve seen them 7 times, my 2 older daughters got to see them back in 2008, but my youngest wasn’t born until 2010, and she NEEDS to see them live! Thunderstruck is her all time favorite song! You guys are amazing! Thank you for helping to open more peoples minds to Rock N Roll! God bless you both!
I still remember J's first time listening to AC/DC and see him not liking it at first but.....as the song went on he all of a sudden started to fall in Rock and Roll love with the boys 🎶 it is still awesome to watch💜✌🤟🇨🇦
In 1988, I was a United States Marine. We were on a training operation. After that we went to Perth/Fremantle. While we were there all of the AC/DC grave site of Bon.Scott. Payed our respects . Then we all left an American quarter on his head showing our respect! Semper Fidelis. G..CO. 1/2:MARINE DIVISION!
This always reminds me of an old Mex friend. When we'd drive in my Bronx he'd always have me put this on when we were getting into trouble. The good kind. Nobody gets hurt. RIP Frito
I'll never forget when I first bought the album Back in Black and put it on the turntable for the first time. My parents bought me a great pair of Bose headphones right after that! One of the best rock albums of all time!!
Check out acdc when they opened the Grammy's. What a performance! A Grammy show has never had an opening act so powerful. Every member from every genre in the audience was on their feet singing and dancing! It was pure magic
Thank you for your comment Amber ACDC was the pioneers. One of the loudest concerts you'll ever attend in rock and roll ain't noise pollution we got a statement and we'll make it
oh man this bring back so many memories for me . High school just got my drivers licence and tuned in to "Rock and Roll is ain't noise pollution " Back in Black Album . Cruising the ones and parties at the moon tower .( well our Moon Tower.) 1980 was a banner year.
This reminds me of local town rivalries... there way a cick.with a tall wall.and bridge named Aberdeen Mills, and our Lower Dauphin kids were to meet Elizabethtown kids there cause they had a beef with each other...etown never showed up, so it was a just fun, jamming night
This song comes from the Back In Black album. It was a tribute to Bon Scott. What the boys where saying is that although Bon just left us we are going to continue what we have been doing. Bon was a rocker!
AC/DC "For those about to Rock, we salute you!!!" Must listen!!!!
My favorite AC/DC song!
Yes, but it must be a live video
FIRE!!!!!
I remember going to their concert in1983 and they started playing this song and my sister took out some cotton and put it in her ears. I was so embarrassed. 😁
The official video version the MTV version
I'm just gonna say it: Back in Black, front to back, is simply THE greatest rock and roll album ever recorded. There are some contenders (Boston and Appetite for Destruction and Rubber Soul and Sticky Fingers come to mind) but... Yes.
Lol... good joke...
Definitely agree
Couldn’t agree more!!!😎👍👍
Rush moving pictures. For AC/DC, back in Black could have dropped a song or two and added Ride On to be perfect.
When Aliens land on the planet and ask “What is Rock in Roll?”, we will simply play AC/DC Back In Black!
This AC/DC song has an R&B-style groove... and it was literally the last song recorded for the 'Back in black' album in 1980...

I remember when churches wanted you to bring your AC/DC albums to burn! NEVER TOOK MINE, LOL
@@sharonalverson6743 Lol should’ve played Highway to Hell for them 😂
@@corycg1956Yes 🤣.
Can't believe you haven't done "Big Balls" yet, an ACDC lesson in innuendo, and a rocking song.
This entire album is no doubt one of the best classic hard rock albums EVER.
Still one of the best selling albums of all time. For good reason
This album absolutely blew the collective minds of every teenager who lived on planet earth at the time. It was epic. Still is.
Yessir. They had the courage to go ahead without Bon, unlike Led Zep when Bonham died. To be fair, their works after BIB were not as good as the ones with Bon, but still very solid. Led Zep may not have got back up on their feet without the powerhouse, so good call anyway ig. Great music all around!
@@tonyrun5802 Fly on the Wall is one of the bands best work..
This is one of AC/DC's best songs.
I totally agree with the other suggestions for "For those about to rock".It's one of my favorite AC/DC songs and I have been a fan from their beginning.The only thing better than AC/DC is MORE AC/DC.Keep going down this rabbit hole,you will enjoy it.
The genius of Malcolm, when most bands try and play fast Mal says let's do it slow with big long chords, and it sounds so amazing
Nice to see brother Malc playing and chiming in with harmonies, he was indispenible, and authored a lot of the work. Rest in Peace, Malcolm Young.
"Back in Black" such a tremendous work of art. This was the last song on that classic album but in my top three on my favorites for this album.
Bear in mind also that this album is Brian's first, and the band's first since the death of Bon. It adds extra meaning to ''rock and roll is never gonna die''
There hasn't been a rock band that comes even close to AC/DC in decades. For Those About To Rock is another must listen.
When ACDC hired Brian as lead singer, he almost didn't get the gig; he was kipping in the back of his mate's van in north east England. His mate was offered the job instead, but turned it down as he and his band were mid tour. His mate was (still is) Noddy Holder - lead singer of Slade. Feel free to check out any of their records - he has a similar voice but not as raw/gravelly as Brian...
Brian Johnson turned down the offer to audition for the band but then had an offer to sing on a hoover commercial in london
So three days later he went to london to record the commercial and then went to audition for AC/DC on the same day
I honestly thought my rock music was dying, my heart was broken, then the unbelievable happened , “reactor’s” horns up to the reactor’s for not letting rock and roll die🤘🏼🤘🏼
Check out greta van fleet
Yesterday i was 30 woke up this morning 70 yrs old. My all time favorite album. Still rocking.
This is an Anthem!!!
AC/DC is the definition of High Voltage RocknRoll. No one does it better.
Love you guys SOOOOOO MUCH!! To see you grow to appreciate and Love Rock & Roll as much as I have, Warms my Heart. Keep a learning and I'll keep Smiling 😃
GOD I LOVE YOU GUYS AND THESE REACTIONS!! THX SO MUCH FOR STEPPING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE A YEAR AGO AND GIVING THIS GREAT MUSIC A CHANCE!!!

You are now seeing why rock n roll has lasted all these years. Keep on rockin
I absolutely love this song . It is like a statement about rock n roll. For me, it will never die or get old. AC/DC is one band I will listen to forever. So many awesome songs whether it is Bon Scott or Brian Johnson on lead vocals.
"who made who" and "big balls" are two more awesome ac/dc songs. Definitely worth a listen
Bon had such a cheeky nature.
Although I love the song, they cannot react to "Big Balls." TH-cam would block it. It's a pity, though. That and Prince's "Darling Nikki" would make both of them blush.
Yes definitely big balls would be a great reaction
Both awesome songs!.....but when I hear "Who made Who",it reminds me of Maximum Overdrive. Not in a bad way💪🏻
AC-DC convert's so many welcome to rock ! Everyone Is welcome please have fun !!
The best breakdown to the meaning of this song I've heard
"The title "Have a Drink on Me" is an old Australian saying to someone who has passed on. This being Bon Scott, Brian thought it'd be best to share a toast to the mighty Rock 'n' Roll legend, not through an actual drink, but through a song."
One other great song from the Back and Black Album I think you guys should check out is "Have a Drink on me"
Wow, I love how they come to realize how great good rock really is, too bad a lot of other people dont
I loved your reaction Guys. I'm a 72 yr old Aussie, and have always loved their music, along with our other artists and bands from 60s to the 90s as well as many from overseas.
This song closes out the BEST Rock n Roll album of all time... PERIOD !

Malcolm Young was a Music Writing /Rhythm Guitar MONSTER!!! RIP.
Angus and Brian Johnson/Bon Scott are the heart of the band, but Malcolm is the soul. RIP to one of the greatest rhythm players ever.
Brothers Young and the boys are forever going to be remembered. This music is timeless
Omg, you finally played it...my favorite AC/DC song...thanks
Next you gotta do SHOOT TO THRILL, DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP, WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE (Studio version), NIGHT PROWLER. All Bangers that you will go crazy over. 🔥🔥🔥
I would add Touch Too Much.
I've been suggesting Shoot To Thrill for months now to no avail. They don't know what they are missing!
@@jimmyharris8425 that song features Brian's pipes better than any other of his AC/DC songs.
Add Overdose and Gone Shootin'.
Night prowler is such a heavy ominous song. I love it, my favorite from them. Not the reason I love it, Richard Ramirez, the night stalker killer claimed night prowler was his inspiration.
Got to love Angus Young. What an entertainer!!!
Thunderstruck
Back in Black
Hells Bells
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Some of my favorites.
Congratulations on 250,000 members of the Rob Squad Family. 👍👍✌️✌️🎶🎶💕💕 All your hard work is paying off!!!

"I want to break a guitar right now"! PRECIOUS!!!! This is why I come back daily!!!!
And in another 60 years, there will still be younguns watching this and feeling the same way.. So cool....

R.I.P Malcolm, Never Forgotten !, see you on the other side mate !!
I think this album came out in 81, it's 2024, so that makes this album 43 yrs old, and it still rocks. 😎
Summer of 1980! 44 years ago!
This song is over 40 years old and will never die.
This is my favorite AC/DC tune hands down, that slow bluesy burning build up never gets old 💜
This song is off the Back in Black Album and the first album with Brian Johnson
I’ve never heard anyone react to this classic before so thanks so much for taking the time. It’s such an underrated song. The whole Back in Black album is fire and there’s not a bad song on it.
acdc is the king of 3 chord progression. but they can make it sound different every single time.
Australian Crawl - Oh no not you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally! This is my favorite AC/DC song that nobody reacts to! Maybe because it isn't one of their biggest hits, but its amazing!
Been to 2 AC/DC concerts & each time it's an awesome 2 + hour roller-coaster ride!

@@chriswildhaber35 YIKES man that is highly debatable lol definitely had alot more charisma than Brian

I listened to the album without videos, so the imagination ran wild. Starts off like a band sitting around an empty bar doing a sound check, Angus just plucking a few notes. Brian Johnson gets up out of his chair, grabs a pack of smokes and taps out a cigarette. Walking up to the microphone he flicks open the zippo and lights the cigarette. The moment has struck him as it has Angus, he laments "Alright!" Scanning the darkly lit room he see a few business people sitting at the bar, signing contracts, confirming liquor orders, handing out pay checks. A thought occurs to him, this is a bad ass riff and they are Oblivious!!! and the he belts out..........and then the rest of the band joins in.
This was on the Back In Black album and it was recorded in one take with no post production. If you listen closely to the beginning, you can hear Brian exhale right before he starts to sing.
Ever since I first hear the "Back In Black" album in 1981, AC/DC has been my favorite rock band. No other band gets my heart pumping, my feet tapping and my head banging like they do.
AC/DC back in Black is one of my all-time favorite albums. So many good songs so cool! Thanks for reacting!
That’s how the Back In Black album closes. Perfectly! Do yourselves a favor and listen to the album beginning to end.
These dudes actually put a crack in the floor of the stadium when they played in my home town when I was in about the 6th or 7th Grade. Broke. The. Floor.
Rock & Roll, baby.
I remember my 12 year old self wearing the groves off this song in 1980. Still 1 of my favorite AC/DC songs.
I love that groove. Every song on that album is solid. There are not many albums I can listen to over and over through every song, but this is definitely one you can put on replay for hours.
Yep, loud for a reason. Love to see y'all headbanging. It's just natural. Hell yeah
Correction from my previous post, Money Talks is on the Razors Edge album. The concert I went to was the Razor's Edge tour.
I concur with the comments. For Those About to Rock is the ultimate AC DC rocker! I saw AC DC in 1983 at the LA Forum and stood on the floor in front of the stage. Unforgettable! Thought I would go deaf after For Those About to Rock because of the cannon booms but I was young and loved it!!
You guys kill me with how much you love music I grew up with. I am glad to see you people give love to the best decade ever the 80's.
Back in Black was the first rock album I e er had. I won the vinyl on the boardwalk down the Jersey shore when I was 7 years old and I’ve been Rockin out e er since! AC/DC are my all time favorite band, and I pray they do one more tour! I’ve seen them 7 times, my 2 older daughters got to see them back in 2008, but my youngest wasn’t born until 2010, and she NEEDS to see them live! Thunderstruck is her all time favorite song!
You guys are amazing! Thank you for helping to open more peoples minds to Rock N Roll! God bless you both!
I still remember J's first time listening to AC/DC and see him not liking it at first but.....as the song went on he all of a sudden started to fall in Rock and Roll love with the boys 🎶 it is still awesome to watch💜✌🤟🇨🇦
In 1988, I was a United States Marine. We were on a training operation. After that we went to Perth/Fremantle. While we were there all of the AC/DC grave site of Bon.Scott. Payed our respects . Then we all left an American quarter on his head showing our respect!
Semper Fidelis. G..CO. 1/2:MARINE DIVISION!
Another great one you'll love is "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)"
I can't remember all the parties I went to in the 80s where they played this song they are so plentiful.
Mate, it gives me the warmest and fuzziest feeling just to know that you guys love and appreciate these legends as they deserve. AC/DC for life ❤
This always reminds me of an old Mex friend. When we'd drive in my Bronx he'd always have me put this on when we were getting into trouble. The good kind. Nobody gets hurt. RIP Frito
I could listen to that song so loud it could break my eardrums and it's still wouldn't be loud enough!!
I'll never forget when I first bought the album Back in Black and put it on the turntable for the first time. My parents bought me a great pair of Bose headphones right after that! One of the best rock albums of all time!!
4:29 *Bon Scott has entered the chat*
But for real, early 80's Brian Johnson vocals slapped hard
As a teenage girl in the 70s I didnt 'Head Bang" very often . This song was the rare exception. I can still fling that ponytail when its playing 🤟💜🎶
Check out acdc when they opened the Grammy's. What a performance! A Grammy show has never had an opening act so powerful. Every member from every genre in the audience was on their feet singing and dancing! It was pure magic
Of all their songs, this has always been my favorite!
Thank you for your comment Amber ACDC was the pioneers. One of the loudest concerts you'll ever attend in rock and roll ain't noise pollution we got a statement and we'll make it
I love that y'all get so worked up with AC/DC. Gotta love Angus & Brian. Thnx u 2. 🙂☮️❣️
When I first bought Back In Black in the 80s, it was worth waiting right to the end, past all those other Rock Gems,to hear THIS Gem!
You have been converted and you have seen the light Thank you for your open mind and appreciate the music I grew up with
See what happens when you open you mind to new music . Like the old saying goes you have come along way baby .
I'm ACDC fan, since 1978, but now also a Nightwish fan since 2019, never old enough to become fan of beautiful music ❤
oh man this bring back so many memories for me . High school just got my drivers licence and tuned in to "Rock and Roll is ain't noise pollution " Back in Black Album . Cruising the ones and parties at the moon tower .( well our Moon Tower.) 1980 was a banner year.
This reminds me of local town rivalries... there way a cick.with a tall wall.and bridge named Aberdeen Mills, and our Lower Dauphin kids were to meet Elizabethtown kids there cause they had a beef with each other...etown never showed up, so it was a just fun, jamming night
This song comes from the Back In Black album. It was a tribute to Bon Scott. What the boys where saying is that although Bon just left us we are going to continue what we have been doing. Bon was a rocker!
I have known every word to back in black since i first heard it back in 81. Just good fun. That’s AC/DC
