This is a badass song the boys out did themself on this one the guitars,and drums are outstanding and vocals are great too (even though my man sound like he's constipated)What's really great about this song is that it don't sound like it was recorded in the 80's crank this shit up on your stereo/cd player and you will hear what I'm talking about

In 1980,I had a cassette of their 'Back In Black' album.I also love the song "You Shook Me All Night Long".

Great riff, great band, great guitar playing!


Can't beat a bit of 'DC when you're in the mood for it.

You know, for one minute, I thought Minneapolisgenius was gonna come out with:




"Here's a picture of Angus Young.....WITH JIMMY PAGE!"

rocknrolldave said:

There's got to be one out there. Jimmy is such a photo whore!

*starts searching the web....*

minneapolisgenius said:

No using Photoshop, only genuine photos please.. You know, I just BET there is a photo of the two of them....

Did you see the photos of Angus on stage with the Stones at that Toronto benefit gig thingy..? Man, Angus is losing his hair and what's left is grey, and STILL side-by-side to Jagger and co he seemed half their age!

rocknrolldave said:

Yeah, I saw video of ACDC's set. It kicked ass! I didn't see pics of him w/ the Stones though. But Angus is much younger than Jagger is, isn't he? He has to be because he was just a teenager when they started out.

DavidEye said:

Damn I didn't know the song was old, AC/DC kicks ass I saw a video of them performing "Highway to way"a lot of energy I don't know how Angus keep moving like that, I would to see them live.

lovedad43 said:

Yup 25 years since Back In Black, which also means 25 years since the death of their previous singer, Bon Scott RIP

back in black is my favorite AC/DC album

Love the tune and the album. I'm another one who started with this on cassette.
Wore it out and bought another one. Eventually upgrading to CD.

Slamming hard rock at its best. Doesn't try to be fancy, doesn't try to be cute, doesn't try to be cerebral.
The tunes just rock from Hell's Bells through Shake a Leg. You get sort of a break with Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
(cause by that time my neck's hurting)

The 1st I heard of these guys were the tunes Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Highway To Hell.
However I didn't get hooked until I heard Girls Got Rhythm.
Angus gets all the glory (deserved) but it's Malcolm's rhythm guitar (underated) that holds that band together.

Back In Black is the one and only AC/DC album i've got.
Now I see it's out on DualDisc. Might be time to upgrade again.

One of my faves! To me, this is definately one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. No matter what mood I'm in, whenever I hear this or play it in my ride, I turn this up full blast! This, along with "Bambi" are the only two cover songs I have ever played live with my bands. Whenever we've played "Back in Black", the place goes buckwild. Great song, great, great riff and the solo at the end, to me, is Angus's best.

One of my favorite songs of all time.

Only song by AC/DC I can tolerate.

This is indeed a classic rock album. I saw these guys many, many years ago. They put on a great rock & roll show.

I love the intro to Hell's Bells.

One of the first songs I learned on guitar. In fact, I played it with my band last night (though I didn't try to sing it!)

I don't really like Brian as much as Bon Scott, but BIB is an amazing album, maybe their best.

This whole album was rocking, classic shit!

andyman91 said:

I meant to bring that up.

Since I didn't really get into AC/DC via album until BIB, I never developed a strong allegiance to the Bon Scott voice. There appears to be a strong opinion for Bon Scott or Brian Johnson.

Why do you prefer Bon to Brian?

I know you're not directing this question to me, but as always, I'll just butt in here....

I really like Brian Johnson. Mostly because, like you, I started out w/ BIB. Then I went back from there and realized that I like Bon Scott as well, but BIB is probably my favorite ACDC album, so then I like Brian again.....

minneapolisgenius said:

Well thank you Little Miss Buttinski. Who am I to not allow you to retort?

I've seen posts where some where vehemently opposed to Brian Johnson.
And felt that everything post-Bon was pure bull.
With the strength of BIB I just never understood it.

theAudience said:

I never understood it either. I was just talking about this actually a few weeks ago with Slash I believe. He's also a Brain Johnson fan and commented about how a lot of ACDC purists would never admit to liking Johnson over Scott.

theAudience said:

BIB was my first AC/DC record, too, and it's probably my favorite (maybe Highway to Hell).

But Brian's voice is just a bit too...I don't know, unmusical? Bon had a more relaxed & melodic voice. It's high as well, but less screechy.

But the vocals to BIB the song are some of the funkiest rock vocals ever. I'm not totally Anti-Brian like some.

There is something about that song and their music that is definately influenced by R&B. They certaintly aren't straight ahead metal, and frankly that's what makes their music so memorable. I'm always tempted to buy AC/DC stuff but they always seem to be reissuing it so I'm not sure I should jump on anything so soon. I've heard from both Brain and Bon and they are both good. Very similar.

VinnyM27 said:

Hmm, I don't necessarily hear any R&B influence, but they are definitely VERY blues-based. I mean, pretty much all of their songs are basically really hard blues riffs actually.

VinnyM27 said:

I DO hear what you're saying. Like all the great rock bands, they're all influenced by black american music, be it blues, r&b, which depends on how it's played, can mutate into funk. That's why I understand where u are coming from, cuz "Back in Black" is sho nuff' funky!

The intro to Girls Got Rhythm--very funky

R & B does stand for Rhythm & Blues--that's what AC/DC is.

andyman91 said:

I know that R&B stands for rhythm and blues. It's just got a totally different sound then just straightforward blues though, and I tend to hear more of that sound, the blues, than R&B in their music I guess.
