When asked by a reporter how it felt to be one of the best guitarists in the world, Angus replied: "I'm not even the best guitarist in my band!". RIP Malcolm Young.
My favourite story about Angus, is when one reporter tried to disparage him with the idea that most bands only know three chords, but Angus only knows two. Angus replied: “There are two?”
The original AC-DC front man was Scottish born Bon Scott if you look up AC-DC 1978 /80 you will see the original line up fantastic unfortunately Bon scott died of drug abuse
@@keithscott1480 Man, try to keep up. Bonn passed from alcohol induced asphyxiation and Bonn began with the band in late 1974. Unfortunately the bluesy sound of ACDC also died with him. Cheers.
I put this jam on on the way how from a concert last year one of the younger girls got a funny look on her face and said " we listen to this in our spin class " 😅 ...
I must admit I’m a bit older 71 and I saw them live at Wembley August 18, 1979 , almost 45 years ago 🤪🤪 . They opened the show followed by The Stranglers then Nils Lofgren with the Who headlining
Really warms my heart to see a younger brother appreciating this music. Growing up in Texas I was called an Uncle Tom for jamming to these guys....how times have changed. Warms my heart.
You know a band is good when you play it for grade schoolers for the first time and, right off the hop, they start bouncing their heads and within 1 minute you have a class riot.
Sends shivers down the spine, my experience of seeing them live was back in 1992, monsters of rock in Donington, before i could drive, my dad drove me and 2 of my friends from Scotland in my mums 25th anniversary mini down to Donington to see AC/DC, my butt was sore for a week, original compact minis were not designed for journeys like that, what a great memory 👌
I’m a 56-year-old Aussie and I grew up listening to Acca Dacca! Love them! I am not even really a rock chick but I love me some AC/DC because they are just so good at what they do! 😎
Saw these guys in concert in Charlotte NC, on my 24th bday ('94), they opened with this, just bad-ass. And, they closed with "For Those About to Rock", and had cannons come up out of the stage. Great show, good times.
"I like that Cat he's cool." That my friend, is Angus Young. Arguably one of the best best guitarists of all time, and damn sure one of my favorites. He isn't the most technically skilled guitarist (not to knock his incredible talent) but he created his own badass sound and rocks as hard, if not harder, than anyone in the game.
Technically he is brilliant!!!! But there are those out there that give a lifetime of practice to just play fast! Fingerpicking solos lightning fast!! But what is that?? Its just annoying! 😂😂 No one plays like Angus and Malcolm together! The brilliance of the brothers making this groovy, bluesy, hard but still melodic, is not to include 100 different chords in every song, and play really fast, just to claim, «hey we play advanced» 😂😂 As Malcolm said: why so hung up on the number of chords in a song? Its not how many that counts, but HOW you play them, and HOW two guitarists make it sound for the person listening!!!! You all have heard the beginning of «get it hot»? How many chords are they using each? ONE chord each! And then it comes down to HOW they hit the strings with the right hand, and vary from up to downwards, down to upwards, using maybe 2 or 3 of the strings in the original chord, that usually involves 4 or 5 strings, and then the timing and co-playing with maybe 1/10th of a second before the other one,…this is the brilliant «simplicity» of ACDC! Funny though,that NO ONE plays their songs like they do, even if it involves only an A, D and G-chord in a given song??! 😅 Most dont even try to figure out the timing, rhythm, and hitting, when and how….not just notice, «oh that is just an A chord» 🙈🙈🙈
Malcolm Young, (God rest His precious Dearly departed Soul) was the rhythm genius of the band. Great reaction. They STAND ALONE in a class of Rock groups. And always will.
Obviously not the same album, and Bon Scott as singer but Highway to Hell will always be one of my favorite songs, by AC/DC or otherwise. In fact, I don't know if AC/DC with Bon Scott ever put out a song I didn't like. Brian Johnson is probably the only person on the planet who could have replaced him after his passing, and while its not the same, they still fucking rock. (similar situation with Layne Staley and William Duvall/Alice in Chains tbh)
@@brandondanforth8342 I like all of AC/DC music I've been listening to them since I can remember so I don't just like this song or that song I listen to everything
Back In Black is one of those albums that everyone should be given a copy of at birth. Straight ahead good time heavy rock 'n roll, how can you beat that?
AC/DC are just iconic here in Australia. Glad to see you finally have heard one of the greatest legendary bands of all time. I'm showing my age but I am nearly 60 and have been listening to these guys rocking it out for my whole life.
I always get this future picture in my mind of the typical 90 year old geezer running out the clock in a senior elder care facility playing their favorite music. You walk in as a son or daughter with the grand kids in tow and all they hear from the parking lot as they're entering in are loud stereos playing music like AcDc and Metallica. Grand children thinking to themselves, what's that stuff gramps is listening to??
Music is the great equalizer. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like or where you are from. Good music is good music, period. It brings people together instead of tearing them apart.
Well said! Thank you! Was sorting through a lifetime's music experience and couldn't quite put it together. Wonder if anyone has ever put it all together??❤️😮
The first time I saw AC/DC they were the opening band for KISS. What a show, I'am about to turn 67, so when you see old people out and about give them some respect, cause if I get to the nursing home it's going to be rock'in and rolling.
You DID notice the lead guitarist (Angus Young, original founding member with Malcolm, his brother - guitarist) is playing that riff with ONE hand, right?! They hail from Scotland and moved to Australia. The original singer, Bon Scott died and Brian Johnson came on board... No pressure, right? Love this video and reaction! Try out "Highway to Hell".
It’s actually easier to play that part with one hand than it is with two. On the record it’s played with two hands (you can hear the pick attack on every single note). He starts it off live with one because it looks cool but then switches to two because that sounds better.
The video was recorded in the Brixton Academy in London. They built the tiers from scaffolding in front of the normal balcony. There’s been 50 live albums recorded there and dozens of music videos.
Been listening to this all my life. Im 57 now and still feel the way you do hearing it the first time. Reaching generations. Awsome to have shared experiances no matter age or color. Thanks for sharing brother.
Not many know this, but when two USN ships refuel, the refueled ship plays their "break away" song after the refueling is completed. A break away is a high speed move to distance themselves from the Oiler (fuel ship). My ship played this for awhile. It was AWESOME!
When it comes to ROCK BANDS no one, does it better than AC/DC. sure The Beatles, Who, Queen, Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones, all good and worthy bands, But the cream of the crop is AC/DC for 50+ years they have been rocking us hard and they only get better year after year. THANK you AC/DC
The live version in Argentina is pretty entertaining. The crowd reaction is over the top. You could listen to any song theve done and all of it is this good. I loved you’re reaction to it. Thanks bro.
I ❤ it . Halfway through, you are already banging your head to the music It’s hard to stay in your chair when this band comes on, all of their songs are like this
When I'm in the car, if this song comes on the radio I have to turn it off. That or pull over, because I gotten too many tickets alredy while listening to this.
Angus Young is the lead guitarist with the most 'energy' of any rock band you'll ever see!!! You see his energy? He does this throughout an entire concert!!
This is one of the songs I listen to when I’m driving through big cities like Chicago, Washington, DC and Atlanta. It gets me revved up to handle big city driving! Back in Black is another great one!
I worked at a facility with young adjudicated males from 14 to 18 years old. Many were gang members. One day, we had a party outside, and I asked the dj to play this. My kids were rocking hard and could not believe that this was "my music". Lol
This same song live at River Platte is worth watching due to the crowd, I've never seen anything like it. Love all your reactions. Peace from Northern Michigan 🎄
Ac dc played at Edmonton Commonwealth Stadium in the Summertime outdoor concert and when theyplayed this song in the background a storm was brewing and thunder and lightning was blasting. Epic.😊
I was introduced to this song in 2005 when I went to work at a collection agency in my mid 50s. I don't always listen to Thunder Struck, but when I do, so do my neighbors!
I love seeing someone's first taste of AC/DC. It always blows them away. For next look try "hells bells" "if you want blood" "back in black" "who made who" or "it's a long way to the top of rock and roll" that last one is a treat and a surprise.
AC/DC is one of the most amazing bands that ever existed. This song has been played repeatedly at professional ball games, university games and sports events to pump up the energy of the fans and players. Mission accomplished! Well done gentlemen! 👏🏻
My kids were maybe 6 & 8 years old, on the way to the water park, slid this CD in and started shaking the car... in the rearview I saw my daughter on air guitar and my son on air drums. My wife looked back at me and then back at them. "Don't worry mummy. It's not loud. It's rock and roll." The song was Hell's Bells.
I could watch these all day!! All my jams from jr. high and high school that you react to are bringing me back in time. Queen, AC/DC, Rush, and ALL THE BEST BANDS EVER. Thank you. ❤💚
Recorded at The Brixton Academy, London UK, 17th. August 1990 and AC?DC are originally from Australia. Watch the River Plate concert version of this song to see the real energy generated.
Yeah it may be unbelievable that some haven’t heard AC/DC songs before but that’s the beauty in seeing this gentleman’s genuine reaction of feeling the energy and really getting “it”. It’s truly a special thing to see. AC/DC has always been one of my favorite go to bands to get me jacked! Whether it was before I took the mound in a baseball game or in the gym or just to pull me out of a low day and set me back on fire. There’s so many songs by the band that get me going, like “Back in Black”, “T.N.T.”, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”, “Shoot to Thrill”, “Highway to Hell”. I could go on and on but I leave with one more and it’s “Hells Bells”. I read a comment under a Hells Bells video that said “ This is my neighbor’s favorite song whether they like it or not.” Which is to say there is only one way to listen to AC/DC and that’s turned all the way up. I Enjoyed the video, keep discovering these songs you haven’t heard before. It’s important. Music is important. It’s our past, present and future. The only real Time Machine.
From Wikipedia: The song has been featured in the following movies: Varsity Blues The Longest Yard Iron Man 2 (trailers only, not the actual film) Battleship Delivery Man Planes: Fire & Rescue Daddy's Home and Daddy's Home 2 Deadpool 2 It has also been played in episodes of My Name Is Earl, Hawaii Five-0, Top Gear, New Girl, Training Day, Supernatural, Titans and SAS: Rogue Heroes.The song is also used at many sporting events including every Marshall Thundering Herd football game, and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders dance to this song at the preshow before the Dallas Cowboys games.[12] In 2021, the song was played during the pre-race show when Texas Motor Speedway hosted the NASCAR All-Star Race for the first time.
I truly enjoy your reactions Sebs! I'm 64 and have lived through all of the great music of the 70s and 80s (as a dj in night clubs and on the radio). You are right on when you say live music performances can be like a religious experience.
In 1980 AC/DC’s lead singer died and he had a crazy unusual voice and they thought they were done. They decided to carry on and found Brian Johnson, probably the only person on earth who could fill Bon Scott’s shoes. They continued to have huge success, more than they’d had in the 70’s.
As a former roadie theres rumors that Angus young ran 3-5 miles on stage every show...every night.... flawless guitar work....a true rock powerhouse 🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There are also stories...rumors...that say Angus hydrates with 1 1/2 to 2 gallons of water during a three hour show (yeah, they play like two and a half to three hour shows) and still drops 8-10 pounds!
Seen them twice in Toronto along with the Stones once and at Roy Thompson hall for 2 shows in a row for the 21 gun salute. Man were those cannon loud. I was deaf for hours after the concerts. One of the best bands ive seen live. Highly recomend it. So much hair and leather ive never seen the likes of. Totally Awesome ❤❤❤🇨🇦😊
AC/DC is an Australian rock band formed in 1973. They were founded by brothers Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) and Angus Young (lead guitar). List of AC/DC members · Malcolm Young · Angus Young
The absolute best generation of music! My son is 25 and I turned him on to AC/DC when he first started actually listening to music. His play list is so amazing now. No way was I going to raise my son not to appreciate the best music ever. No auto tune, just incredible sounds and some of the BEST guitarists ever
I loved seeing your reaction to this band, especially your first glimpse of Angus in his shorts and suit jacket! I was blessed to grow up in the 70s and 80s, which, in my opinion, is the best music ever created. AC/DC is an example of that music. I finally saw them perform live in 2015...they were not even in their prime, and they still blew me away!
I grew up in the 80's listening to these guys and others like them, as well as rap and hip hop I loved all of it, these songs are HIGH energy definitely car chase energy lmao.
When asked by a reporter how it felt to be one of the best guitarists in the world, Angus replied: "I'm not even the best guitarist in my band!". RIP Malcolm Young.
They are good. Clapton my favorite guitarist. This is one of best picked bands. Never disappointed
My favourite story about Angus, is when one reporter tried to disparage him with the idea that most bands only know three chords, but Angus only knows two. Angus replied: “There are two?”
The original AC-DC front man was Scottish born Bon Scott if you look up AC-DC 1978 /80 you will see the original line up fantastic unfortunately Bon scott died of drug abuse
watching these old videos makes me a bit sad knowing he forgot all of it before he passed plus concert early hes still dressed lol
@@keithscott1480 Man, try to keep up. Bonn passed from alcohol induced asphyxiation and Bonn began with the band in late 1974.
Unfortunately the bluesy sound of ACDC also died with him.
Cheers.
As an old geezer, this is real music, no auto tune, pure and simple.🤘
Old, mate, i lived about, 10 miles, 12klm, from these guys, there home is .Kwinana, mine was Rockingham, Western Australia
Yes indeed. Real artists going balls to the wall, no artifices to hide behind. First saw them in about 1974, those were different times for sure.
I used to joke that this was the most famous "bar band" in history! Angus the guitarist never stopped moving.
🏴 Shits on hip-hop .
I'm an old geezerette and into it as well!
Am I that old? I can't believe there are people who have not heard of AC/DC. They were the epitome of iconic cool.
College kids were born after 9-11
I put this jam on on the way how from a concert last year one of the younger girls got a funny look on her face and said " we listen to this in our spin class " 😅 ...
RAZORFIST told me directly that ACDC was just ACCEPT for us normies.
WERE??????
Yeah, we are that old. LOL
This is primal, gut-blasting rock and roll!
It couldn’t be better!
I’m 73 and these guys go straight into my gut, turn me around and get me moving!
I'm "only" 72 & this song gets me going also.
I’m 38 and it has had me moving since my teens
My Dad has only gotten two speeding tickets in his life. Both times he was listening to this song.
I can believe that. I got one listening to Money Talks.
Well done to your Dad…
😂
😂
Tell him to listen to Freewheel burning,, 😁
God bless Scotland for Malcom and Angus and God bless Australia for producing one of the greatest rock and roll bands to EVER exist. LESHHH GOOOOO
God Bless That Geordie. Brian Johnson, a wise replacement ( not the best word) after Bon Scott's passing.
When I'm driving in my car, this song or any AC DC song comes on the radio I crank it to the max
I’m 62 and still rock out to AC/DC. This band has THE BEST intros in all of Rock history! ❤
I'm also a member of the 62 club and love AC/DC listen to them regularly.
I must admit I’m a bit older 71 and I saw them live at Wembley August 18, 1979 , almost 45 years ago 🤪🤪 .
They opened the show followed by The Stranglers then Nils Lofgren with the Who headlining
61
Me too and been my favorite rock band since they came out in the late 70s and still are
I will be 60 this year and i am right there with buddy. I am still a headbanger
Really warms my heart to see a younger brother appreciating this music. Growing up in Texas I was called an Uncle Tom for jamming to these guys....how times have changed. Warms my heart.
I knew a brother in the early 80s who loved rock. I loved hanging out with him.
Called Uncle Tom for liking AC/DC? Damn. That’s crazy. Sorry you went thru that. Damn bigots. They ain’t always white.
I love how people think "Uncle Tom" is an insult when...Uncle Tom was the *GOOD GUY* in the story. Sambo was the guy who sold out.
All music for everyone.
Great music is something that unites us all.
My daughter loves AC/DC and this song so much that she named her dog Angus. She's 12. A band that is loved by many generations.
She is channeling the great ones. How awesome!!!
You know a band is good when you play it for grade schoolers for the first time and, right off the hop, they start bouncing their heads and within 1 minute you have a class riot.
Now that is parenting done right.
Polo this song is in Battleship the Movie and so is Rhiana check it out!!
That's funny. My girlfriend had a parakeet many years ago and I named it Angus, LOL.
An AC DC concert is insane . The whole crowd jumps the whole time. Saw them twice !!!!! Wears you out .
Sends shivers down the spine, my experience of seeing them live was back in 1992, monsters of rock in Donington, before i could drive, my dad drove me and 2 of my friends from Scotland in my mums 25th anniversary mini down to Donington to see AC/DC, my butt was sore for a week, original compact minis were not designed for journeys like that, what a great memory 👌
😛🤟🤟
Plus Angus moons the crowd!
@@pamnicklas5536
While sing “I’ve got big balls, you’ve got big balls”! And that’s all one seen in the overhead big screen…his gigantic balls.
1000% agree - saw them at the O2 a few years ago. RIGHT at the front. Heaven help you if you stop jumping!
I've listened to AC DC since the 70's Awesome!
I’m a 56-year-old Aussie and I grew up listening to Acca Dacca! Love them! I am not even really a rock chick but I love me some AC/DC because they are just so good at what they do! 😎
6yrs younger then me and i still remember watching bon on rage as a kid...
I saw them in concert once. My ears rang for 3 days. LOVED IT.
My ears are still ringing over 40 years after a Ted Nugent concert. Love AC/DC too!
The cannons at the end during For Those About To Rock was probably the cause of your hearing problem!
Saw them two times in the early 90's, they showed up and kicked ass. Got my money's worth.
"Highway to hell" AC/DC is fire, your reaction to this song will get a lot of views 🎉
Saw these guys in concert in Charlotte NC, on my 24th bday ('94), they opened with this, just bad-ass. And, they closed with "For Those About to Rock", and had cannons come up out of the stage. Great show, good times.
My husband saw AC/DC play at Frankston High School (Victoria, Australia) 50 years ago! 🎉
Awesome
Highway to Hell with the one and only Bon Scott!!!
This Masterpiece will never die!
In Memory of Mr. Bon Scott!🙏🏻
Yes! Bon Scott was incomparable ❤

Back In Black is one of those albums that everyone should be given a copy of at birth. Straight ahead good time heavy rock 'n roll, how can you beat that?
Shoot to thrill is my favorite off Back In Black.
AC/DC is a classic aussie band. Always was and always will be. We have a lot of fantastic music down here at the ass end of the world.
AC/DC are just iconic here in Australia. Glad to see you finally have heard one of the greatest legendary bands of all time. I'm showing my age but I am nearly 60 and have been listening to these guys rocking it out for my whole life.
Awesome band!!!!
I'm 64 mate, and still reckon Bon Scott was the best singer for Acca Dacca. been listening to these guys for 50 yrs.
Great Australian band.
Not Australia's best selling band, mind you.
That would be The Wiggles.

This is basically the song you play for people who say they don't like rock to see if they really understand what rock is/can be.
They’re a great band. I saw them live in Toronto back in the mid 1970’s. One of my favourite memories.
Got to see them in 1980! One of the best shows ever! AC/DC ❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song was used masterfully in the film "Battleship"...epic scene with a epic soundtrack.
I love that scene
Saw the in the 80’s and the Drum changed my heartbeat and the volume wrecked my ears, loved every bit of it , I was well and truley thunderstruck.
Don’t you just love Angus Young in his shorts and socks and proper English shoes 👏👏 There will never be another like him 🎸
Ac/DC helped me get from kenton Ohio to Jackson Michigan. I got there at 3am, ready to rock!!!
the song the bass the voice the background the video effect EVERYTHING ITS EPIC
The first time I saw AC/DC they were the opening band for KISS. What a show, I'am about to turn 67, so when you see old people out and about give them some respect, cause if I get to the nursing home it's going to be rock'in and rolling.
Must have been great
Seen enm 1978 backing up Aerosmith in Vancouver Canada.
Big mistake for Aerosmith
Bon and band blew em off the stage .
You want to see this song generate energy, watch the Live at River Plate version, the crowd will absolutely blow your mind.
Or live at Donington
love the way the crowd makes it look like the whole floor is moving on that video.
Their energy could light up a city.
The crowd shakes the earth at the River Plate show.
Absolutely.... I have seen them 6 times in the UK but how I would have loved to have been at that River plate show.
She shook me all night long, should be the next track you listen to. It won’t disappoint.
The correct title is "You shook me all night long".
either that or she's got balls.
When you see older people remember we grew up with this music permeating rvery stom of our bodies. So so awesome. Im very thankful.
I love AC DC, right from the start. I am now 76, and they still rock my soul. Rip malcolm and Bon
One of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands ever.
Immortal band whose will be remembered forever. AC/DC electric band!!!!!
ACDC played in Ottawa just a few years back and these old men did not disappoint.
Energy was off the Rickter Scale.
I love seeing the younger generation appreciate our music . Thank you for your reactions!
I saw them in concert when they had the huge bell being lowered. Love it ears we're ringing for 5 days.
❤🤘
You DID notice the lead guitarist (Angus Young, original founding member with Malcolm, his brother - guitarist) is playing that riff with ONE hand, right?! They hail from Scotland and moved to Australia. The original singer, Bon Scott died and Brian Johnson came on board...

Thought Angus & Malcolm hail from Scotland Russel Wales Brian and Cliff England ?
@@gobuddygo5801 Yes but the Band was formed in Australia in the early 70s with the Young's and Bon Scott who all migrated to Australia from Scotland
Malcolm is the better guitarist of the 2 as well. He likes rhythm more because lead interferes with his drinking.
Aussie here, that voice ain’t unique, that’s how our dads screamed at us when we were kids
Yeh he ain’t Aussie he’s a geordie
Haha!
The video was recorded in the Brixton Academy in London. They built the tiers from scaffolding in front of the normal balcony. There’s been 50 live albums recorded there and dozens of music videos.
My neighbor threw a brick through my window just so he could hear this song better.
😂
LMAO
Bwahahaha 🤣

Been listening to this all my life. Im 57 now and still feel the way you do hearing it the first time. Reaching generations. Awsome to have shared experiances no matter age or color. Thanks for sharing brother.
Yep, I scratched my uncles Highway to Hell album. In 1981. I almost didn’t make it past 7 years old.
These guys hit it big in their early 20's. A long life of living rock gods.
Greatest rock & roll band in history IMHO.
this track was crazy
I seen them in the 70s at a day on the green in Oakland California and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Tool is better but only barely.
I've seen them 5 times.
Never seen anyone like them live.
It's like a whirlpool of energy surrounding the stadium.
this song is played at most football stadiums ❤❤❤
Not many know this, but when two USN ships refuel, the refueled ship plays their "break away" song after the refueling is completed. A break away is a high speed move to distance themselves from the Oiler (fuel ship). My ship played this for awhile. It was AWESOME!

When I'm in the car, if this song comes on the radio I have to turn it off. That or pull over, because I gotten too many tickets alredy while listening to this.
@@Dan-xf7bh I honestly put it on every time I get in the car now lol especially when I went to drive fast, but still in the speed limit
Angus Young is the lead guitarist with the most 'energy' of any rock band you'll ever see!!!
You see his energy? He does this throughout an entire concert!!
This is one of the songs I listen to when I’m driving through big cities like Chicago, Washington, DC and Atlanta. It gets me revved up to handle big city driving! Back in Black is another great one!
I worked at a facility with young adjudicated males from 14 to 18 years old. Many were gang members. One day, we had a party outside, and I asked the dj to play this. My kids were rocking hard and could not believe that this was "my music". Lol
My son's nickname when he boxed was "Thunder" and of course, they played this song when he entered the ring. 😊
Legends for generations. People don't understand how amazing this live is.
If you have not seen the film Battleship, you need to check it out. This track is used towards the end. Makes the hairs on my arms stand up
This same song live at River Platte is worth watching due to the crowd, I've never seen anything like it. Love all your reactions. Peace from Northern Michigan 🎄
Was going to comment the exact same thing! Great minds etc.

Your name is awesome! My son is named Alexander Douglas. Have a great spring!
Live at Donnington is ten times better than river plate . In fact live at Donnington is there best concert by far .
+1 for sure!!
Ac dc played at Edmonton Commonwealth Stadium in the Summertime outdoor concert and when theyplayed this song in the background a storm was brewing and thunder and lightning was blasting. Epic.😊
I was so blessed growing up listening to this band,, buying the LP's & Tapes, always been a favourite, always has been & will be
dope concept...all GOOD music is that, Polo..❤
The first time I heard this on the radio at 16, it hit so hard. To this day, one of the best rock riffs.
This is what I grew up with in the ‘80s …. Some of the best music ever recorded
I was introduced to this song in 2005 when I went to work at a collection agency in my mid 50s. I don't always listen to Thunder Struck, but when I do, so do my neighbors!
One of my absolute FAVORITES!!!!
Back in Black is the second best selling album in the world. It was Brian Johnson's first album with the band after Bon Scott's death.
AC/DC one of the world's hardest working bands is right now in 2024 on a world tour & still doing it the same xoxo
I love seeing someone's first taste of AC/DC. It always blows them away. For next look try "hells bells" "if you want blood" "back in black" "who made who" or "it's a long way to the top of rock and roll" that last one is a treat and a surprise.
AC/DC is one of the most amazing bands that ever existed. This song has been played repeatedly at professional ball games, university games and sports events to pump up the energy of the fans and players. Mission accomplished! Well done gentlemen! 👏🏻
My kids were maybe 6 & 8 years old, on the way to the water park, slid this CD in and started shaking the car... in the rearview I saw my daughter on air guitar and my son on air drums. My wife looked back at me and then back at them. "Don't worry mummy. It's not loud. It's rock and roll." The song was Hell's Bells.
I could watch these all day!! All my jams from jr. high and high school that you react to are bringing me back in time. Queen, AC/DC, Rush, and ALL THE BEST BANDS EVER. Thank you. ❤💚
Wow a track to pick!!! Classic!!! I don’t care what your background is, creed or colour, this song will have a positive effect 👌🏼👌🏼🔥
Recorded at The Brixton Academy, London UK, 17th. August 1990 and AC?DC are originally from Australia. Watch the River Plate concert version of this song to see the real energy generated.
Yeah it may be unbelievable that some haven’t heard AC/DC songs before but that’s the beauty in seeing this gentleman’s genuine reaction of feeling the energy and really getting “it”. It’s truly a special thing to see. AC/DC has always been one of my favorite go to bands to get me jacked! Whether it was before I took the mound in a baseball game or in the gym or just to pull me out of a low day and set me back on fire. There’s so many songs by the band that get me going, like “Back in Black”, “T.N.T.”, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”, “Shoot to Thrill”, “Highway to Hell”. I could go on and on but I leave with one more and it’s “Hells Bells”. I read a comment under a Hells Bells video that said “ This is my neighbor’s favorite song whether they like it or not.”
Which is to say there is only one way to listen to AC/DC and that’s turned all the way up.
I Enjoyed the video, keep discovering these songs you haven’t heard before. It’s important. Music is important.
It’s our past, present and future. The only real Time Machine.
AC/DC was the band that got me into rock and then metal. Huge love for them.

I truly enjoy your reactions Sebs! I'm 64 and have lived through all of the great music of the 70s and 80s (as a dj in night clubs and on the radio). You are right on when you say live music performances can be like a religious experience.
In 1980 AC/DC’s lead singer died and he had a crazy unusual voice and they thought they were done. They decided to carry on and found Brian Johnson, probably the only person on earth who could fill Bon Scott’s shoes. They continued to have huge success, more than they’d had in the 70’s.
One of the best live acts I have ever seen. they rock every crowd like this
RIP Malcom Young. You have gone but your riffs will live FOREVER!
As a former roadie theres rumors that Angus young ran 3-5 miles on stage every show...every night.... flawless guitar work....a true rock powerhouse 🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There are also stories...rumors...that say Angus hydrates with 1 1/2 to 2 gallons of water during a three hour show (yeah, they play like two and a half to three hour shows) and still drops 8-10 pounds!
Saw them in concert! Epic! This is one of my favorites! ❤
How is he able to sing like that without hurting his voice!? It IS an amazing song.👍
Third reaction vid of this song I’ve watched in a row, and in every one the heads start rocking at about 1 minute in and do not stop. 😂
From 1991 I believe, they have at least 40 bangers like this, check out “if you want blood (you’ve got it)
Remember I was shaking at knees could I come again please!?!!
Iconic. Angus is in top rated guitarisi. Amazing energy. Timeless.
Seen them twice in Toronto along with the Stones once and at Roy Thompson hall for 2 shows in a row for the 21 gun salute. Man were those cannon loud. I was deaf for hours after the concerts. One of the best bands ive seen live. Highly recomend it. So much hair and leather ive never seen the likes of. Totally Awesome ❤❤❤🇨🇦😊
Dude I loved watching you react to the music . It's all good , it ROCKS ! I grew up with AC DC they are pure energy baby !
There's a drinking game associated with this song that started many crazy nights in my youth...those who know, KNOW 🤣
AC/DC is an Australian rock band formed in 1973. They were founded by brothers Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) and Angus Young (lead guitar).

The absolute best generation of music! My son is 25 and I turned him on to AC/DC when he first started actually listening to music. His play list is so amazing now. No way was I going to raise my son not to appreciate the best music ever. No auto tune, just incredible sounds and some of the BEST guitarists ever
An amazing one handed riff, and he runs it for along time. The River Platte video's are great to see just how many people turn out for them.
yes I agree u c that
I loved seeing your reaction to this band, especially your first glimpse of Angus in his shorts and suit jacket! I was blessed to grow up in the 70s and 80s, which, in my opinion, is the best music ever created. AC/DC is an example of that music. I finally saw them perform live in 2015...they were not even in their prime, and they still blew me away!
I grew up in the 80's listening to these guys and others like them, as well as rap and hip hop I loved all of it, these songs are HIGH energy definitely car chase energy lmao.
Incredible musicians! Thanks for sharing, Polo. 😃
I hate to tell you this POLO, but YOU are a heavy metal fan!! Hahaha!!!
