#ACDC #80sRock #RocknRoll
"You Shook Me All Night Long" is one of most undeniable jams of all time. It's the ultimate party tune, that creates an uncontrollable urge to rock. This song and many others by AC/DC is truly the definition of rock and roll. ACDC is a band that truly exemplifies every element of rock. they are rock and roll personified. In this video we celebrate this iconic song from the second biggest selling album in the world, Back in Black. With the irrepressible Angus Young, who detonates a face melting, heart rupturing guitar solo that's become the stuff of legend and although there will only be one Bon Scott, the vocal performance by Brian Johnson on "You Shook Me All Night Long" effectively began his legacy as one of the most distinctive rock vocalists of all time. With an appearance by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads who relates a hilarious story about the band, this is a must see episode.
Hey Music Junkies Professor of Rock always here to celebrate the greatest songs and the greatest artists of all time with the vinyl community. If you are all about the music, subscribe below also if you want to help us continue to curate the history of these artists and their songs click on our patreon link below ALRIGHT It's time for another episode of #1 in our hearts where we celebrate a song that should've been a number one hit but for various reasons it came up short BUT IN our hearts and in our minds it is number one with a bullet.
Then the roller coaster fell to the band's NAYDEAR in February, 1980, when their beloved & rebellious front man Bon Scott was found dead in the back of a friend's car in London after a heavy night of partying. The official cause of Scott's death was classified as "alcohol poisoning" and "death by misadventure". The loss of Bon was devastating, and the band seriously contemplated breaking up. They had lost, not only their charismatic front man, but also their primary lyricist over 7 studio albums. Bon's close friends & family, particularly Bon's father, strongly encouraged the band to find a new lead singer, and forge ahead. Bon's father said it is "what Bon would've wanted." The band decided that they would actively pursue a new singer following Bon's funeral.
The auditions began to find a replacement for Bon Scott, and there were some notable candidates that vied for the gig, including Noddy Holder from Slade, who reportedly, was offered the job and turned it down. During the auditions, Malcolm & Angus remembered Bon mentioning a singer that he was really impressed with named Brian Johnson who was the front man for a band called Geordie, that he saw perform in London in the mid-70s.
Bon told the brothers that he saw this guy named Brian Johnson, and how great he was. Bon described watching Brian writhing on the stage floor, kicking and screaming while the crowd went nuts. Brian Johnson remembered the night when Bon saw him perform very well, because the reason he was on the floor of the stage was not part of the act, it was because he was suffering from a vicious appendicitis attack, and rather than rushing off stage to the hospital like most performers would have done, Johnson kept singing- essentially, waling in agony.
All of the remaining AC/DC crew, and producer Mutt Lange, wanted Brian to be their new lead singer. To Brian's surprise, they offered him the gig, he happily accepted, and the band made the official announcement on April 1, 1980, that Brian Johnson was the new lead singer of AC/DC. Billboard Breakdown.
The band's bumpy ride reached its pinnacle in July, 1980, when they released 'Back in Black', a historic LP that not only overtook Highway to Hell as the band's best selling album, it would go on to become the 2nd biggest selling album of all time, selling an estimated 50 million copies around the world- 2nd only to Michael Jackson's Thriller. With Mutt Lange at the helm the album was meticulously produced. Mutt Lang's attention to detail and perfectionism is of course the stuff of Legend. I was interviewing Jerry Harrison who at the time was with Talking Heads recording in the same studio. - เพลง
Let’s try and get it at number 1?!!
Does it still count as a record if its not an original pressing?
After Last Christmas. Yeah I know, I have an eclectic taste.
No internet, and we had kickass music across the genres. Today we have the internet, and not only does music outright suck, but the world is falling apart.
Coincidence? I think not.
YEAH!!!
@Ballbreaker hotel california has sold more than thriller. FYI.
Having an album that is the 2nd greatest seller of all time says a lot more than having a number one single I think.
That's true. I don't think they've had a #1 hit anywhere in the world.
@@veddyveddygood correct they didn't. ACDC were ahead of their time and were trailblazers for other bands to follow later.
@@veddyveddygood A hit album you mean very big , But not a number 1 single anywhere
Doesn't matter though as they had many hit singles worldwide
Number one if you're only counting LPs
Bon scott always said they were an album band
Brian is never mentioned on top rock vocal lists yet his performance on back in black is unreal, his range at the time was inhuman. Acdc never needed critical acclaim, they have true fans.
@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. Angus has already dispelled that rumour.
@@mrjw6701 many times
@@blackace69 yeah he did it again in a recent interview and said categorically that Bon had nothing to do with Back in Black.
@@mrjw6701 every argument was debunked by angus and mal.
Yeah but it was all downhill after Back in Black
I went to a memorial for a co-worker’s husband, died way too young from brain cancer. Many friends stepped up to speak, and lastly his wife gave the final eulogy. She ended with saying, “And now, here is Will’s favorite song.” And blasting through the speakers came “You Shook Me All Night Long.” My co-worker stepped off the dais, closed her eyes, and started dancing - just rocking out by herself. I thought it was the most glorious and magnificent way to grieve I’d ever seen.
ACDC will always rule my world. No other band like them in the world. You can say what you want about them cuz I don’t care because they rock and always will.
I started playing guitar because of ACDC
"There were fifteen million fingers
Learning how to play"
🤘❤️🤘
1980 is the year I started playing guitar, but it was coincidence. I was 14, and I found my aunt's old acoustic guitar in her old bedroom at my grandmother's house and decided to learn how to play.
Me too...now i own 3 SG...a Marshall....and i can play play loud....😁🤘
So many were inspired to play because of this amazing band.. That ppl say all songs sound the same... Idk.. Play me 5 seconds of any song and i could tell you it
Hell yeah awesome band especially powerage that's my favourite album by them very underrated
Im still listening 40 years later.
Personally, I've always thought "Shake a Leg" was under appreciated. That one just gets me hoppin' every time I hear it.
Angus and Malcolm are rock legends
Never forget that AC/DC was Malcolm's band, no question. He is the one that fought the suits - while being - no question - one of the greatest rhythm guitarist in history.
The power of the band. He's not "the best". He is the core of the band. ACDC is not the same without him. Even as (his brother) Angus (God like) on top of it.
I said ONE of the greatest, KC. So yes - he is, little argument. And Rvg - you need to understand the role of a rhythm guitatrist. And in Malcolm's case - he wrote a majority of the songs as well. Not too shabby.
@Rvg it's like you read Bob's comment and didn't understand any of it
Mal's right hand . . .
Rvg Angus himself said Mal is (was) a better player. Fact
Back in Black is a masterpiece
I was college freshman when "You Shock Me All Night Long" was released. We played the hell out of that song and the rest of the album. To us, it was number 1.
I hope that's a typo. It's "Shook".
@@sigma80 of course. First typo ever. Lol
It gets played all the time now on a local classic rock station. It's still number one.
Ride on should be more well known than it is
You're dead right there. Bon's vocals and THAT guitar solo...!
Yep I agree
There’s no doubt in my mind, “You Shook Me All Night Long” SHOULD have been a #1 song!
It has all the ingredients of what a classic rock song needs to be a #1 hit! It has the hooks, the groove, the power & everything else you could want in a rock song! 👍
Can anyone remember who was number one in 1980?but everyone still knows acdc bnb
Russe “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” - Rupert Holmes, “Call Me” - Blondie, “Sailing” - Christopher Cross, “Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)” - Pink Floyd and more...
It was number one in my neighborhood... especially after midnight where 'youths' gathered ; )
"Shoot to Thrill" is my favorite among favorites on Back in Black
i agree pure power
"Shoot to Thrill" is the greatest piece of music since the beginning of time.
"Back In Black", "Hells Bells" and "Shoot To Thrill". I personly do not rate "You Shook Me..." that high. Mostly known by those who are not real AC/DC-fans (because they do not know all songs)
I used to go roller skating to the hole LP but shoot the thrill was my favorite to rock out to
When I’m playing music in my car and I hear that first lick, I have to start the song over a few times just to hear it again, only louder.
AC/DC ARE rock n'roll. And still kicking ass to this day. Rock n'roll isn't dead, the demand is there and it will be brought back.
I'm 50. Every part my life, they've been there. I was privileged to witness them in '91 as a 19 year old kid at Donington Monsters of Rock.Greatest Rock'nRoll Band bar none.
ACDC are an unbelievably talented band. Thanks for recognizing them.
Back in Black was one the greatest party records of all time.
Still is?
I'm 76 years old and AC/DC is my #1 pick no matter what song.
AC/DC was , is and always will be # 1 for me.. I have to have a dose everyday . R.I.P. Bon and Malcom ..
AC/DC one of the best rock groups off all time
no, AC/DC IS the best rock group off all time. You are not precise...
@@steffenjonda8283 For me ... is the best one !!!
My 2 favorite AC/DC songs are "Downpayment Blues" and "Gimme A Bullet To Bite On", 2 great songs from the mid 1970's. Both the lyrics and music are the best.
I agree with your two, but I have to add Kicked in the Teeth.
@@timil64 Powerage is possibly their best-ever albumn, IMHO...... everything about it is pretty much perfect.
@@mclouston11 absolutely!
“What’s next to the moon” 🌙 “Gone shooting”.....go back and listen to the lead solos of those two songs.....Need I say more.
I agree with all of you on this. I just recently decided to make a playlist of my favorite AC/DC tracks. Kind of my Greatest hits. Pulled my favorite tracks from each album. That was hard enough I discovered. Powerage however I couldn't decide. The whole album was on the playlist.
After listening to an AC/DC song the other day I was thinking who was the better frontman for the band and decided that it was impossible to answer. They were both incredible.
They were both the ideal frontmen for their time, and rock fans have been lucky that they were around when they were. (Doubly lucky in Johnson's case--he could have died of appendicitis the day Bon discovered him, and the whole question of his fitness to take over five years later would have been moot.)
Same.
Different type of singers for different AC/DC.
Bon, hands down.
still my all time favorite is bon singing whole lota rosie
.....yes! Or Bon talking about how it came about with Rosie...😂😂😂
I grew up listening to AC/DC. I love their music
Look how big Led Zeppelin were and how influential they were, did they have any number 1 singles, no, did it matter, again no.
....For years “Stairway to Heaven” always came in number one on top 100 count downs of all time....
lol during their reign, with the exception of their debut album, all of Led Zeppelin's albums reached # 1 on the charts.
Led Zeppelin 4 went #1 in the UK, but #2 in the US.
Number 1 hits no, number 1 albums? There were 7. Please, do your research. Even Black Sabbath dominated the charts at more than one point in their career.
@@aiden_macleod I never said albums I was talking about singles, as in the video saying acdc didn't have a number 1 single neither did led zep, albums yes I know that.
@@alexjohnston8889 Once the record label starting printing singles of one of their albums and was selling well, then the manager got wind of it and shut the printing down. They didn't want to sell singles it was all about the album sales and concerts.
Let There Be Rock with Bon Scott is the very definition of rock and roll.
I was around ten when they rolled past filming " Long Way To The Top" on the back of a truck as i was standing on the corner with my grandmother. Oh and i have BIB in vinyl still
Long Way to the Top is THE song to hear if one wants to know about R&R!
Shot down in flames is one of my all time favorite songs ever. Love all the bon Scott songs, Pretty much every acdc song as well lol. Between them and kiss my 2 favorite bands of all time. Acdc are true legends of rock.
Shot down... for sure!
Mine is you shook me all night long I love high way to hell to so many classic memorizing hits thunderstruck is my ringtone classic classic song
That's my dad's favorite AC/DC song. When we both got to see them live for the first time in 2000, that was the 2nd song they played. I never saw my dad so wild.
When Malcolm passed away, I thought of something about him that is truly amazing. It's possible that his riffs that he came up with in his bedroom, or on the tour bus, or wherever he wrote, have been heard by more humans than any other musician. Think about it...there's more people alive than any other time in history. Riffs from Back in Black and other albums are played on the radio, by fans, in sports arenas, etc. AC/DC is inescapable. I of course lack numbers to back all this up, but I like to think it's the case.
The numbers do back you up though. Back In Black is the single best selling Rock n Roll LP of all time
I'd wager AC/DC songs have been played on a guitar more than any other band too. Whether you tried to play guitar and gave up or you are a gigging musician. The amount of songs they could do with 5 different chords is staggering and that ain't a knock on the band. They're actually my favorite rock band. They're easy and memorable enough for anyone to attempt it but to nail all the nuances in their playing is not a small feat. I can't count how many times I've heard their shit played wrong. Malcolm is the greatest rhythm player in rock history imo. Just listen to his playing kick in in a song like Thunderstruck. Angus's part is the most recognizable but Malcolms part drives that song along like so many others. And its clean precise playing too.
you can't go to a sports arena and not hear thunderstruck, even people who have no clue who acdc is know the song. There was something special in that Australian water
He died "young" too. 64. Wow. Way too youthful for dementia. So sad. Greatest rhythm guitarist ever.
I'm 58. Loved AC DC since I was 16. I'd bet my 401k you're right on the money!
Best All time song from AC/DC.... NIGHT PROWLER! The bass grove and bluesy guitar rifts kick everyone’s ass.
I was front row, first person beside the catwalk (stage right) for AC/DC's 2009 Rock 'n Roll Train show in Montreal - the closest I've ever come to a Beatlemania experience - launching the show with a cheeky cartoon about an out-of-control train that ended in an actual black locomotive emerging when the screen split in two! Sheer madness. My eldest of two sons is named Angus, in part for Mr. Young himself, and in part for my Gran's Scottish heritage. ROCK ON!!
Bon's double entendre's are what initially got me into AC/DC... Between Bon and Angus, I couldn't get away from their music.
It’s hard to believe that they didn’t own the charts but it’s absolutely believable that they have the 2nd most sold album. Pure legends🔥
in my lifetime ive bought back in black four times... first on tape, then on vinyl, finally twice on cd.
All the greatest music will stand the test of time........
Shook Me All Night Long was the first guitar solo I ever learned note for note...at age 12...in 1988. Long Live AC/DC.
Me too but I was 14 in 2008 haha, never forget my parents face even I played it for them
although I’m young, I’ve been listening to AC/DC forever... my dad is easily classified as a superfan lol... in my opinion, songs like nervous shakedown and jailbreak (their more raw, bluesy songs) really portray AC/DC for me.
Was listening to back in black the other day and my 12 year old daughter says, “dad! What is this?!” I say AC/DC and she says, “now I get why you love these guys dad. Play more!” We played AC/DC for the rest of the day. She’s been listening to them non stop
I think Back In Black came out in exactly the right time. In a period dominated by disco/dance and assorted 80's dribble...it rebelled in the greatest tribute you could have, not only to Bon, but to rock itself. It was the standout pure rock album of it's time and kept people like myself sane
Bon is my favorite singer, and it's pretty obvious that most of the lyrics from Back In Black are Bon's (their lyrics went downhill fast after BiB), but Brian Johnson sang the HELL out of that record. He really knocked it out of the park. I am not sure that any singer, Bon included, could have sung it any better. Brian's voice was never quite the same afterwards, but he gave it for a good cause: THE definitive Hard Rock N Roll album.
Malcolm wrote most of the songs.
You mean the lyrics of the song or the album?
Bon most likely wrote the lyrics
Read Bon: The Last Highway by Jesse Fink. He gets into this a bit. On the one hand, the lyrics on BiB, especially You Shook Me sounds like Bon's style, & things he said to a girlfriend sound similar to lines in You Shook Me. Also, allegedly Bon's family gets royalties for BiB even though his name is not in the credits. Guilty conscious for using his stuff & passing it off as Brian's to not overshadow his debut? Or charity for a family that just lost a loved one? But on the other hand, even though Bon would write ideas down in notebooks all the time, he would really finish lyrics as the band was in the studio so it'd be weird if all of a sudden he had finished lyrics for their next album in advance. Of course Angus or Brian will never admit it if it's true because it doesn't fit the narrative they've had for 40 years.
Bon wrote no lyrics for B.I.B. Confirmed by Angus. Give it a rest people.
I remember watching an evangelist show that “exposed” backward masking on usually heavy metal records. I laughed at it because I couldn’t figure out what the singer sang forward,let alone what it said backwards! Great show about the very fun AC/DC!
You mean they DON'T sing, "Eeeaaahhhh ezay. Ooo ay tee. Come round e bada yeah"? I'm floored!!
@Tone. I got dragged to one Evangelicals house as an "intervention" once. Somehow they had found a video that went over why The Cure was evil. Because they had a song called "The Blood", which has a line "I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ". I sat back and said.. that makes no sense, that song was referring to a bottle of wine named "tears of christ". Idiots.
Greatest band in rock history.
Rock and roll ain't noise pollution AC/DC will never die best band of all time in my opinion.......
I think the magic of AC / DC is that it is a pure rock that cannot be classified or compared, you cannot identify any influence from another band, it is like all the other rock music started from them. We are privileged to have them in our time.
Rock n roll ain’t noise pollution is way underrated, one of my favorite AC/DC songs.
If B.I.B. was the 2nd best selling album of all time, how the hell is Rock-n-roll ain’t noise pollution underrated? Use yer f$&kin head. Stupid comment.
Comments can’t be stupid, only people...like you for example. A song on a great album can be underrated. Rolling Stone has a list of AC/DC too 25 songs, Ain’t Noise Pollution isn’t on it, six other songs like Sink the Pink and Who Made who are on it and I don’t think are nearly as good.
Bud Fox Now I know how much of an idiot you are if you listen to Rolling Stone magazine. The worst music magazine in history. When I was 13 and B.I.B. came out, the album was so huge no song on it was underrated. Only millennials would say something so stupid.
the lyrics to that song have to be 100% bon scott. He should have gotten credit on the record
Thanx to that restaurant commercial,every time I hear RnR ain't noise pollution,I wanna order a medium rare steak!!!!
God bless ACDC, and God Bless you my brother
Could not agree more. I've always been a huge fan of this song, especially Angus Young's iconic guitar solo which I consider the greatest I have ever heard. The way it starts of with the choppy staccato effects and then eventually soars into the stratosphere, and Young blends it all together flawlessly. Pure Genius.
Understandable. It's hard to be #1 when you're a niche genre competing with pop. But time revealed how truly great they were/are.
My favorite band. Rode on a plane with them in 1986 on my way back to San Diego from Las Vegas for my 21st birthday. Didn't realize it until we were close to landing and I noticed Cliff Williams sitting two seats in front of me! Once off the plane I was the only person that recognized them in the airport and got autographs on a magazine. Had tickets to their concert that night at the Sports Arena. 🎸💥
In my mind, acdc will always be #1. Pretty much all of their songs should have been in the top 10 in the world, not just in the states. Long live acdc, because we want to 🎸
Back in black should have been number 1 !
specially when he sings "number one with a bullet..."
Imagine Bon singing this material.
There's a recording of bon scott singing back in black out there.
@@scotsasnett How? the song was written after his death.
@@scotsasnett It's fake
It's pretty obvious he wrote it
Scot Sasnett its fake.
For me? Back in Black is one of the most crucial and iconic rock albums of all time. I am a big AC/DC fan, grew up listening to those guys. They have been in my life through thick and thin. I highly suggest to anyone getting into rock music today, definitely look them up on here or iTunes or in a record or a CD store. I have them on all.Or even a cassette tape. Or 8 track.
I remember when You shook me all night long was released, and even 40 years on it still sounds great, the second you hear those opening chords from Angus you just have to TURN IT UP TO 11
Turn it up to 100
Rock and Roll personified
Angus and Brian are legends
It's funny that my introduction to AC/DC and to Back In Black was at a Christian summer camp where one of the counselors played it several times a day.
"You shook me all night long" is so great, it's rock to the core
I loved Bon so much that when Back in Black came out I bought it, listened to it then smashed it on the road, of course love them now, but Brian still seems like the new guy!
When someone would mention an AC/DC song they liked, it was common for the response to be “Is it Bon Stott, or Brian Johnston trying to sound like Bon Scott?
AC/DC is one of the greatest Rock Bands of all time.
I remember sitting in the theater with my son when IM2 came out, and getting all excited as Shoot To Thrill started playing, and having that moment where I'm listening to a song I've listened to hundreds of times, and just feeling this adrenaline rush. Explaining to my son after the movie was over who AC/DC was and introducing him to the band. Then going and seeing other MCU movies and seeing that trend continue where AC/DC songs are played.
It's good to see that they're being sort of reintroduced to the younger generations who most likely would have never even heard this band's music, now becoming finding themselves listening to these great songs, because of the superheroes they see on the big screen.
I'm still annoyed that they never used War Machine off of Black Ice when they literally have a character named War Machine lol
As many times that it's been played on the radio...even to this very day, you'd think it would have been #1
I remember when I first heard You Shook Me All Night Long, I tought: This is the perfect song for a road trip, I can listen to this on repeat the whole way across the U.S.
I'll never forget the first time I ever heard this song was 15 and my mom had locked herself out of the house, was in school, she called the school to get ahold of me, because I had a key, borrowed my friend's 73 Plymouth Satellite (no I did not have my license yet), drove home and let her in, on my way back to school, just as I pulled in the parking lot this song came on the radio, I had all the windows down and cranked it!, I felt like a King!, what a great tune!
Damn fine reminiscing Tim, deserved waaaay more than 2 thumbs up.
Angus' guitar work on You Shook Me is iconic, my favorite rock guitar solo of all time.
ooh..."down payment blues"," night prowler", or "walk all over you"... i can´t decide which i like the most.
"Walk all over you"
I love every literal second of GONE SHOOTIN, but the bass guitar in that song gets me into an almost tantric state..
AC/DC will always be number one Rock N Roll Band !!
I Agree! Their whole body of work....they ARE Rock n Roll
Loving your Aussie binge, INXS & now AC/DC.
Australia says 👍
Thank you! I appreciate the support my friend.
When you finish ACDC the next band is The Angels or Angel City as they were known in the States.
...rose tattoo...the angels...
Rose tat and black eyed bruiser
I think Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Incredible songwriter, with a ridiculous number of great albums.
Well, I vote for, "Have a Drink on me"
Givin' The Dog A Bone as well! Talk about a headbanger!!
I love "Let me put my move into you", idk why XD But also "Shake a leg" and "Givin the dog a Bone" as well as "Rock n roll ain t noise pollution". In fact, I love all the songs of the album.
WELL SAID: AC/DC IS THE DEFINITION OF ROCK!
Back in Black was my first tape growing up. I'll never forget my mom asking me if I understood what he was singing! Bon Scott ringing those Hell's Bells for generations after his death while Brian belted out the lyrics for those same kids. Huh, the 80s weren't as bad as I thought after all...
AC/DC has always been a popular band. They have huge concerts and many of their albums have done really well. They do all of this in spite of a number 1 single. That said, their latest single from their new 2020 release, "PWR UP," a song called "Shot in the Dark" is doing pretty well right now. In fact, their new album is one of their best. But I digress. "You Shook Me All Night Long" was, is and will always be one of their best songs. Great riff and hook. This song and this album is what inspired me to sing rock music.
It’s A Long Way to the Top. The song that should have been #1.
The morning after the day Malcolm Young passed, I was picking up my Son's mother from the airport and it was really early, the sun just broke and it was a very chilly foggy morning and I picked up my Son to go meet her out at the airport and I had AC⚡DC albums on shuffle on my phone through the car's stereo and when he came out and got in the car, it was between songs so I asked him what's his favorite AC⚡DC song and he just kinda shrugged and I immediately said "CORRECT ANSWER is ANY OF THEM... HIGHWAY TO HELL, ANYTHING OFF BACK IN BLACK or THUNDERSTRUCK" and he laughed. He regularly reminds me of this every time i have any AC⚡DC playing in the car whenever he's in the car with me, lol.
Also, whenever I'm in the car with someone and an AC⚡DC song comes on the radio, I immediately put up my index finger to signal that talking must cease and if they persist, I then tap the car's radio once and if they don't get the hint, I steadily raise the volume until it drowns them out. I do the same for any Judas Priest song, any pre-Load Metallica song or Crüe's Kickstart My Heart. Rarely is it that anyone that I travel with require such measures though.
Can't understand how, " It's a long way to the shop, if you want a sausage roll' wasn't a number 1 either ;)
That, and yes’s “owner of a grocery cart”!
haha you reminded me of that goofy Christmas song
th-cam.com/video/8iEB8bfP7wE/w-d-xo.html
Id highly rate, Dirty deeds ,done with sheep as well.
You shook me was truly the first "real" rock song I had ever heard in 1980 as an 11 year old boy. At that moment I was hooked forever. It is the definition of rock and give us kids of the 80's and beyond, proof that most bands of today lack the talent, drive and longevity of these fine musicians.
AC/DC the greatest Rock n Roll band in the history of Ever.
Riff Raff Rocks!
Have a Drink on Me so awesome!
I could go on & on. No matter how crappie a day could be AC DC just made life happy.
POR, We Salute You. Ty for sharing your personal stories about your parents. That was priceless. ❤️
Loved your analogy with introducing ACDC to aliens. 🤘
Edit: Anyone remember their music in the 80s movie, Maxium Overdrive? Great soundtrack.
LOVED the Soundtrack! The actual movie? Meh...lol. Thanks for bringing back great memories of the eighties, I'm class of '84! 👍😁.
@@thedude3423 I was a kid when it came out. I didn't care much for it either, but having ACDC's music in it made it watchable.
(I'm class of '94.)
Thats the tour I saw, first time seeing ACDC live. Still the most electric concert i ever saw
Who Made Who ... such a catchy tune
Featured one of my favorite underrated songs, Ride On.....
Back in Black should be in everyone's Top 10.
I think AC/DC is the best band that's ever been. Even their bad songs are still pretty good. And all their songs Rock.
Thank you for your heartfelt tribute to AC/DC.
"Hey momma look at me" I'm on my way!!! Sometime in 200 years from now..somebody going to be headed to Mars to eat thanksgiving dinner with grandma.. AC DC fan cranking it up in rocket...rock on!!!
AC/DC is definition of rock.......period
Can't beat "It's a long way to the Top" - iconic
Considering the fact that Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” is the most selling album and had so many top ten singles and “Back in Black” being the second most selling album and not have a single top ten song is pure amazing. I don’t think there is a single album in the top ten most selling albums that didn’t have a single top ten song. And to think that if you took all the songs that made it to the top ten during those two weeks, the albums that they came from didn’t sale 50 million copies combined. How does that even happen? How is that even possible?
The record companies decide what music they want played on radio. Pop music gets its sales boosted most by airtime. Rock music is played far less but sells despite that because the fans are much more loyal to the bands and much more "active" looking for new releases by their favorite bands. Not to say that "true" MJ fans dit not do the same, but the majority are casual listeners that bought Thriller because they heard some great songs on the radio en decided to buy the album. The majority of ACDC fans knew when the next album was coming way before it was on sale and bougt it as soon as they could!
The best and biggest selling albums rarely get singles released at all..
Randallkoller yes. But considering the fact that AC/DC also got much less air play than any of the others on the top ten is still an amazing feast. Can’t argue with that.
@@WWTormentor when's the last time you heard, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd or many many others with insane album sales on the radio or in the charts? Wanna know why? Because they don't matter!
It was Malcolm Young who fought with their record labels, who were pushing for a single hit for radio. Mal said from their beginning that they were not a singles band. They stuck to their guns and never wavered. Just one example of what made this band epic.
74 Jailbreak EP. Jailbreak of course most people now know from the live shows, and Brian has a ball with that. And Angus gets to do a solo and play with the crowd. But Soul Stripper and You Ain't Got A Hold On Me are fantastic songs as well. And Showbusiness is Bon at his delicious best.
I agree, ACDC is the ultimate rockandroll band of all time!!!
It's insane just how many tracks on this album are so amazing.. if you are even only a casual fan of rock music, you would have no problem listening to this album front to back, without wanting to skip any songs.. such an iconic album!!
I saw ACDC live at the OMNI in Atlanta for the For Those About to Rock tour. They opened the show with a giant brass bell lowered from the ceilings, and the "BONG" sounds to begin the opening number, Hell's Bells was Angus beating on the giant bell with his Guitar! I was sitting 8 rows back, center stage on the floor in the chairs, and absolutely mesmerized (ʘ_ʘ) . About 2/3rds the way through the show, Angus has his shirt off. He gets on Brian and Malcolm's shoulders, and they carry him through the crowd on the floor while Angus wails out this amazing guitar solo like there will be NO tomorrow, and he will effect its destruction! There was total respect; no one from the crowd got in the way or tried to touch them or anything. Whoever thought of doing that was a genius and I can't express how appreciated it was by all. It was a perfect rock and roll moment.
They did the same thing when I saw them on the Razor's Edge tour.
I also saw them at the omni for Razor's edge tour. I remember the line for the rest rooms was long from all the drinking and people were just urinating on the floor in the hallways.
That was started in the Bon era.
God! That must have been amazing! I'll bet I was in Atlanta at the time and didn't even know about it. Willie Nelson at the Omni was all I heard about!
Great story
Never knew this. I always assumed that these songs were number one hits on the billboard all day long.
That’s my favourite AC/DC song and a very close second is , it’s along ways to top if you wanna rock and roll .
Greatest band of all time! Angus the GOAT!!!
Saw AC/DC live. Of all the concerts I've been to, AC/DC was the best hands down. I mean there was absolutely no contest.
I played the Back in Black album for a younger person who told me he was not too familiar with AC/DC. On almost every song he was like, "I know this one" and "I've heard this" as he realized how familiar he actually was with the band. He thought I was playing an AC/DC greatest hits album. I had to explain it was not a Greatest Hit/Best Of compilation but just one album.
Also, in case some people are confused by their name, AC/DC stands for Alternating Current/Direct Current (The 2 types of electrical current) and the idea to name the band that came when one of the Young brothers saw it stamped on the back of their sister's sewing machine. So their name is only evil if Satan builds sewing machines.
They even have the album and song “High Voltage” to back it up!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You’re not familiar with the collected works of Steven King?
Back In Black is, in my opinion, the quintessential #1 rock album of all time. It’s the bridge between the evolution from the 50’s into the 80’s.
Agree. I will go a step further and suggest the song Back in Black is the quintessential rock song of all time. It has everything a great rock song needs: highly distinguished and recognizable riff, killer high pitched vocals, super slick solo and about 4 minutes long.
It's sad that Bon didn't live long enough to see what a powerhouse AC/DC has become.
And to experience it.
This video makes me cry...Bon was the best rock singer ever...I have been a professional musician for 30 yrs and have covered AC/DC a lot...great band...rip...
