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 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
@@davidlemons5650 no excuse, old pop culture is always replayed over and over i was born in the 1980s and i grew up watching bugs bunny, which is from the 1940s, so it dont matter when you grew up. if you ainy heard of sammy davis JR, Sinatra, Elvis, Or ACDC, you just aint payin attention
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 " 😅 ...
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.
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.
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.
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??❤️😮
"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.
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.😊
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??
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
This song was featured in Disney's "Planes Fire & Rescue", AC/DC also is featured in most of the "Iron Man 2" Soundtrack. Angus Young (Lead Guitarist) was famous for the little dance steps he does he also took that title of best guitarist for years in the late 70's and early 80's before Eddie Van Halen. This song and it's album was released in 1990. Great Reaction.
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 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. ❤💚
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 🎄
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!
Our girls were born in "03"&"07". They both have their own favorite music style & they both like all different kinds of music genres. Both girls know that both of theirs parents favorite music is Rock & Roll Hair Bands from the 80's & 90's! Our oldest likes to say "Classic Rock"! She knows I don't like it when it is called that, that's why she says it so that I hear her! She is now 21yrs when she was around 2-3yrs one of her favorite songs was this song Thunderstruck by AC/DC. Every time we got in the car she wanted to hear "her song". Well, I shouldn't say she wanted to hear the WHOLE song, she only wanted to hear the beginning, like only the first 90-95 seconds. She always called it the AHHH AHHH song! She would say over & over when we got in my car " MOMMY AHHH AHHH SONG"! She said it over & over until the CD started playing. But when frontman "Brian Johnson" would start singing then rest of the song she would put her hands up, shrug her shoulders & said "over"! That is all she wanted to hear of the song then she usually wanted to hear her Barney The Dinosaur CD, I don't remember who got her that Barney CD but if I did I would punch them in the face😂!! That memory of my daughter asking me to play the AHHH AHHH song is one of my most precious memories I have with her & I will never ever forget it!!!!! She says she can remember saying it too. She does remember calling Thunderstruck the AHH AHH song!
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! 😎
Lynard Skynard was the name of the band formed by the Van Zandt brothers. They took the name from a janitor at their High School. The best of “Southern Rock” The lead singer Ronnie was killed in a plane crash early on. And yes the band featured two lead guitars
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.
glad you've discovered AC/DC! - When I got into them back in the day, I bought their CDs, took them to a friends house, and his parents pulled out their 8-tracks of the same albums! - One song you might look up is one from the movie soundtrack for Last Action Hero, it's called Big Gun, and check the music video for that too... Arnold dressed as Angus! - AND if you want a funny one, check out Big Balls... we laughed our butts off as kids listening to that one on cassette!
They are playing in an acoustically perfect auditorium. I have been in one in Dallas, Tx and one that is adjacent to the Sheraton Si Cerritos in CA where I got lucky enough to see/hear Ladysmith Black Mombasa perform live years ago while on a business trip.
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!!
I saw them 6 times in the late 70's, without doubt the best band I have ever seen live. I think watching Angus crowd surfing on his way to the stage, whilst playing the intro to, 'If you want blood you've got it' is something to behold and something I will never forget. 👍🤗
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
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
angus young on uitar. One of the greatest guitarists ever in rock music. One of the few bands that lost their lead singer and came back stronger than ever.
I've been listening to Disturbed since I was a kid and fell in love with The Sound of Silence after hearing it in the Watchmen film. This version gives me chills whenever I hear it. There's something hauntingly beautiful about it. Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion is also fantastic if you haven't heard that.
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 ❤ 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.
this song was featured in "The Longest Yaed" when the "Mean Machine" came onto the feild, and in Battleship" when they were getting the old ship ready for battle
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!
Yes, they did play live just like that! I was there, one of their last shows before the crash, Anaheim CA. Just boggles my mind that you've never experienced lynard Synard before. If your enjoying discovering 70's rock history, check out The Moody Blues, Nights in White Satin
This is one of my favorites. The conductor Zubin Mehta was one of the best Maestros. This rendition always brings me to tears. You are one of my favorite reactors.
respectfully.. your weren't watching this video with the volume turned up loud enough. If your volume knob was not at max and them broken off, it was not turned enough. :)
RIP MAL A short bit on the school uniform Angus has on.While in high school, Angus came in from school and told his sister he and Mal had their first gig as their new band. He ask his sister what should I ware to the gig and she told him, do you want to be different and stand out?. He said yes, she replied ware that outfit you have on now. Not another word was spoke and he did what his sister suggested. Now, over 50 years later, you will sill see Angus in a school uniform. Hey Mal, Like the title says from the best song AC/DC ever did.....Ride On...brother.
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

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!
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,, 😁
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

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
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

WERE??????
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!!
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.
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
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.
Don’t you just love Angus Young in his shorts and socks and proper English shoes 👏👏 There will never be another like him 🎸
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 .
Highway to Hell with the one and only Bon Scott!!!
This Masterpiece will never die!
In Memory of Mr. Bon Scott!🙏🏻
I love AC DC, right from the start. I am now 76, and they still rock my soul. Rip malcolm and Bon
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.
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.
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.
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.

ACDC played in Ottawa just a few years back and these old men did not disappoint.
Energy was off the Rickter Scale.

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!
I can just see this in my mind!! I love it!
Our girls were born in "03"&"07". They both have their own favorite music style & they both like all different kinds of music genres. Both girls know that both of theirs parents favorite music is Rock & Roll Hair Bands from the 80's & 90's! Our oldest likes to say "Classic Rock"! She knows I don't like it when it is called that, that's why she says it so that I hear her! She is now 21yrs when she was around 2-3yrs one of her favorite songs was this song Thunderstruck by AC/DC. Every time we got in the car she wanted to hear "her song". Well, I shouldn't say she wanted to hear the WHOLE song, she only wanted to hear the beginning, like only the first 90-95 seconds. She always called it the AHHH AHHH song! She would say over & over when we got in my car " MOMMY AHHH AHHH SONG"! She said it over & over until the CD started playing. But when frontman "Brian Johnson" would start singing then rest of the song she would put her hands up, shrug her shoulders & said "over"! That is all she wanted to hear of the song then she usually wanted to hear her Barney The Dinosaur CD, I don't remember who got her that Barney CD but if I did I would punch them in the face😂!! That memory of my daughter asking me to play the AHHH AHHH song is one of my most precious memories I have with her & I will never ever forget it!!!!! She says she can remember saying it too. She does remember calling Thunderstruck the AHH AHH song!
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...
Lynard Skynard was the name of the band formed by the Van Zandt brothers. They took the name from a janitor at their High School. The best of “Southern Rock” The lead singer Ronnie was killed in a plane crash early on. And yes the band featured two lead guitars
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.
These are some bad ass Dudes !! 😊
When I'm driving in my car, this song or any AC DC song comes on the radio I crank it to the max
glad you've discovered AC/DC! - When I got into them back in the day, I bought their CDs, took them to a friends house, and his parents pulled out their 8-tracks of the same albums! - One song you might look up is one from the movie soundtrack for Last Action Hero, it's called Big Gun, and check the music video for that too... Arnold dressed as Angus! - AND if you want a funny one, check out Big Balls... we laughed our butts off as kids listening to that one on cassette!
Got to see them in 1980! One of the best shows ever! AC/DC ❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They are playing in an acoustically perfect auditorium. I have been in one in Dallas, Tx and one that is adjacent to the Sheraton Si Cerritos in CA where I got lucky enough to see/hear Ladysmith Black Mombasa perform live years ago while on a business trip.
looks like you never got back to checking out more ADDC? They have a lot of good songs. You might like, "You Shook Me All Night Long"
Two brothers. One on lead guitar and one on rhythm guitar.yeah man!
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!!
Highway to hell, shook me all night long-so much more
My husband saw AC/DC play at Frankston High School (Victoria, Australia) 50 years ago! 🎉
Awesome
LET THERE BE ROCK. Another great ACDC. Bon Scot.
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.
I saw them 6 times in the late 70's, without doubt the best band I have ever seen live. I think watching Angus crowd surfing on his way to the stage, whilst playing the intro to, 'If you want blood you've got it' is something to behold and something I will never forget. 👍🤗
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
Just introduced AC/DC to my four year old grandson and he asks for Thunderstruck and Moneytalks e very time I see him. Converted!
You gotta watch the live at River Plate Argentina version of it. It’ll blow your mind
Grew up in Fremantle Western Australia when they were still playing Pubs. Can't believe I lived it.
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.
I would love to see you give "WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE OR FOR SURE "FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK "!! PLZ!!!
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
A GREAT Australian band - one of many
Immortal band whose will be remembered forever. AC/DC electric band!!!!!
In my area, (US Midwest) when a DJ plays this in a bar or at a wedding, you take a drink every time they chant "thunder". Good times. 😅
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
One of my favorites...and I love that you checked it out!
I've listened to AC DC since the 70's Awesome!
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.
angus young on uitar. One of the greatest guitarists ever in rock music. One of the few bands that lost their lead singer and came back stronger than ever.
From 1991 I believe, they have at least 40 bangers like this, check out “if you want blood (you’ve got it)
I've been listening to Disturbed since I was a kid and fell in love with The Sound of Silence after hearing it in the Watchmen film. This version gives me chills whenever I hear it. There's something hauntingly beautiful about it. Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion is also fantastic if you haven't heard that.
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.
LEGENDARY!!!
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.
@@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
Yes, I was in the thick of this era of GREAT music! Glad to see that you enjoyed this music.
I adore AC/DC. Their entire concerts were High Voltage!! Lol
AC/DC has the best music for those first person shooter games, really keeps you pumped
I first heard this watching Iron Man
ive loved acdc since whole lot of rosie back in 1979 got every song they ever did am nearly 60 still love acdc
this song is played at most football stadiums ❤❤❤
this song was featured in "The Longest Yaed" when the "Mean Machine" came onto the feild, and in Battleship" when they were getting the old ship ready for battle
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!
Yes, they did play live just like that! I was there, one of their last shows before the crash, Anaheim CA. Just boggles my mind that you've never experienced lynard Synard before. If your enjoying discovering 70's rock history, check out The Moody Blues, Nights in White Satin
One of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands ever.
This is one of my favorites. The conductor Zubin Mehta was one of the best Maestros. This rendition always brings me to tears. You are one of my favorite reactors.
Welcome aboard the acdc train bro !!!!
My god, when I first heard this i flipped out!!!!! The best...
respectfully.. your weren't watching this video with the volume turned up loud enough. If your volume knob was not at max and them broken off, it was not turned enough. :)
RIP MAL A short bit on the school uniform Angus has on.While in high school, Angus came in from school and told his sister he and Mal had their first gig as their new band. He ask his sister what should I ware to the gig and she told him, do you want to be different and stand out?. He said yes, she replied ware that outfit you have on now. Not another word was spoke and he did what his sister suggested. Now, over 50 years later, you will sill see Angus in a school uniform. Hey Mal, Like the title says from the best song AC/DC ever did.....Ride On...brother.
Ac/DC helped me get from kenton Ohio to Jackson Michigan. I got there at 3am, ready to rock!!!
