PS Angus deserves every bit of the love he gets for what he does. But take a minute to give love to his brother Malcolm, who wrote and plays all the riffs. He's legendary. It's harder than it looks and he's one of the standard bearers. He also was the sanest one in the band and handled all the early business for them. RIP Malcolm Young, the heart of ACDC for 40+ years.
Mal inspired me as a guitarist and by extension my entire music career. He completely revolutionized what it means to play rhythm guitar in a band, and if weren't for him, AC/DC and the entire genre of rock and metal wouldn't be the same. Every once in a while I'll load up some old Accadacca tunes and pan hard over to Mal's side and just revel in his genius and vibe. RIP Mal. It's not the same without you.
Malcolm was indeed AC/DC's secret weapon. His rhythm guitar playing often kept thier songs grounded, providing the hook and through line while Angus was melting faces with his solos and Brian or Bon were belting out lyrics.
The opening riff and beat have been featured in hundreds of commercials, at least two different marvel movies (Iron Man 1 and 2 IIRC), dozens of other movies and movie promos. I promise, you've heard the intro to this song so many times it is burned into your subconscious, you've just never heard the full thing.
Great point! Malcolm was so averse to the spotlight, but he absolutely was the soul of AC/DC. All those insanely catchy riffs? Almost all of them are written by Malcolm! An amazingly creative guitarist and the backbone of this incredible band.
Back In Black is the Album title track, it's ACDC's first album after the death of their singer Bon Scott. Brian Johnson was the new singer. Black is the colour of mourning for a deceased loved one, hence the title, they are sad for the death of their legendary lead singer, but they are back to rock some more.
That’s true but… Bon died during the making of new songs for Back in Black. Back in black was already studio recorded, I have heard Bon sing it. There is more than just the mourning issue going on.
@@larryjenkins8035 Thanks for the info, I did not know Bon had recorded for the album already. I wonder if ACDC would have still gone with Back in Black as the title track had events not unfolded as they did. Great song and album in any event.
I was a kid when Black and Black came out. I liked the music but I knew nothing of the band or their problems. It wasn’t until we entered into the age of the internet that I knew anything about the history, or their names. Now tons of old videos locked in closets are now on RUclips, and Wikipedia. Listen to the difference between Brian and Bon: 40 sec and 4:40 ruclips.net/video/7-btFZyIn8o/видео.html
@@larryjenkins8035 Brian is supposedly the one that wrote the lyrics for this song - in the autobiography I read this was the first one he wrote for AC/DC and he was told to make it a tribute to Bon. So I don't think it's possible you heard Bon sing this song. But I don't have first hand info so who knows? If you can find that recording it would be very interesting.
Back in Black was a tribute to bon Scott who was their original singer but he passed away of acute alcohol poisoning but instead of the band breaking up they contacted Brian Johnson and he sang for them and they thought he was good, so Back in Black was a tribute to Bon Scott. And the title “Back in Black” means the band is back after their lead singer passed
Hes a total rock icon, he has his own famous style of a old school boys uniform but performances like this show how he welds basic 3 chord blues style and incorporated it into the hard rock mainstream in his own unique way, and HE is a performance in itself.
Well, the studio (superior) version was. and yes, the studio version IS superior as Brian Young can no longer hit the notes he once did in his "youth".
Angus Young is the lead guitarist! And he's wearing a school uniform, cause back in the day he would run from school and jump on stage live still wearing his school clothes or jam sessions Classic!!
No - I heard the riffs when they were played on the radio and in concert .. I didn't have to wait 40 years for a bunch of movies to use them .. I still have all my original vinyl
I too saw them twice in Oakland ,California USA and it was Bon Scott at the time singing, once outdoors in a colosseum and the other in a old style Auditorium they performed songs from albums "Highway to Hell" and " If You Want Blood you got it" ! we're talking 40 years ago, they were and are amazing. At that time I didn't think there would ever not be a Bon Scott and a Brian Johnson ,it was definitely weird there at first , but you could tell they were back . Brian Johnson has done Bon Scott admirably .
@@karthikpolpakkaramana When ACDC rocked out with For those about to Rock , some of the soldiers thought that they were being fired upon until they realised it was part of the act. Remember , this was a time of political upheaval in the Country.
@@PaulA-bv1rt Those Russian had no idea what they were seeing. Crazy time. Kind of related, years later my buddy and I were discussing the Cold War and the Soviet Union and his then 9 year old said “What’s the Soviet Union?” Totally mind blowing .
Or check out their performance from the Monsters of Rock festival in 1991 at Castle Donington. They recorded the performance and released it as a live album, as well as a VHS (later a DVD). You can see the entire performance on youtube. That was AC/DC at their absolute apex.
@@pitdoctor Definitely for the Brian Johnson version ! As for the Bon Scott era, 1978 day on the green, Oakland coliseum. They were the opening band and blew my face off ! ( Highway to hell just out) Pat Travers/puttin' it straight, Van Halen/1st album, Foreigner/double vision, Aerosmith/draw the line. Great line-up, hell of a fun concert. AC/DC should have been the closer, Angus was an absolute madman back then with the constant running,spinning,head bobbing ! Aerosmith had nothing but problems (mic's not working, drumset fell over, Steven having a hissy-fit....) Never got to see them with Brian, wish I had. B in B is one of my all time favorite albums.
"How can I explain this?..." Lemme help from a sec. AC/DC is a BAR BAND! They just happened to make it to superstardom, but they still sound like a bar band. And THAT is to be admired!
The guitarist in the suit is Angus Young, all 5’2” of him. Definitely one of the greatest guitarists of all time. You need to give “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” by AC/DC a listen, you will like it!
SHOOT TO THRILL NEXT!!!!!! ACDC is the band that introduced me to rock so they will always be my favorite and Angus is the one who inspired me to pick up the guitar. Looking forward to more ACDC reactions!
Oh man, you here this song everywhere. Back in Black is indeed legendary. It will go down in history as a prime example of the music of the time. Im glad you liked it.
Only band to play the same basic music for 40+ years and not change (and didn't need too) while other bands tried to adapt too what was current to survive.
Angus Young is the guitarist and he is absolutely legendary and his style and energy people go to see ACDC not just for the music but for Angus as well just an incredible exciting guitarist to watch never slows down never stopped so into his music
I love these reactions, but sometimes I feel like this poor kid has been living under a rock. Glad he’s finally getting to see that there is a lot more to our society. Too funny.
The catalog of All the Songs has grown considerably since you and I were his age, darling. I'm sure there are a few songs even you haven't heard yet. ;)
Yes indeed. The album Back in Black is one of the top selling albums of all time. I've even seen it ranked 2nd in one list. So it's a bit surprising NOT to have heard of it.
@@anniethenonnymouse Yet, the number of songs worth listening to has not. And when we're talking about one of the best-selling albums of all time ... Let's just say that although I didn't grow up around the turn of the 19th century, I grew up knowing Beethoven and a few of his singles regardless of the fact that he wasn't exactly in constant rotation around the house, let alone played at every sporting event for decades. On a lot of these channels they'll claim to have never even HEARD of the artist (Which one is Hootie?). I don't listen to hip-hop, but the huge artists - not just the Lil-of-the-week - eventually penetrate my body of knowledge even if I never listen to them. Some of the reax vids have actually had text on the thumbnail to the effect of, "Who IS MOZART!?" That speaks to lack of exposure to music in general - not that there are so many artists out there that a kid logically would never have gotten around to Mozart yet. But I applaud the earnest attempts to expand their knowledge. And, of course, there is a LOT of lying going on on various channels. I'm not saying it's going on here.
Ac⚡DC discovered their sound ain't broke, so they never fixed it. Their songs are similar because it works. Always been my theory anyways. I do enjoy your reviews. You're talented at this.
Yep. They found a recipe that works, and stuck to it. And I for one am glad they did. There are other examples of bands who repeat themselves, without becoming boring, Status Quo for example.
You knew this song because it opened the MCU (movie: Iron Man, the first one, first notes of the soundtrack is this song!) The guitarist is Angus Young (yes, he is, even now at 65 he's YOUNG!!), his brother is the other guitarist, he died a few years back. Angus wears the school uniform for one of two reasons: (a) he went to practice with the band, and often to local gigs, right after school so no time to change clothes, or (b) he deliberately wore those because he had no better clothes to wear (he started like when he was around 16-17, still in school!). Not sure which is the one but the image "stuck" and is thus since the mid-70s!!
This was a tribute to Bon Scott, black being the traditional color of mourning and fact the band was Back. Angus was still in school when he joined, what he’s wearing is school boy’s uniform complete with cap.
Angus actually wasn't in school when the band was founded; he dropped out when he was 15. Angus was nearly 19 when they started AC/DC, though they told the media he was younger to boost the band's popularity.
I didn’t know that. I remember hearing a story that he tried a bunch of different costumes that he would wear on stage; none of them really stood out for him. I thought the video I saw was pre AC/DC. I also thought his sister that told him to wear his old school costume, so a legion was born. It is extremely rare that a band would still create new music at such an old age. Not that old bands don’t play; they just don’t make new stuff.
What makes me laugh about those that badmouth ACDC always say three chord wonders or just playing the same stuff,but when you ask who they think are better they come up with some bands that are lucky to have two hits and they're the same formula or basic use of four chord pop song formula, because that's rock and roll. Also ask them to name another bands top five songs and most will just regurgitate one or two hits they had. The difference between ACDC and the rest is the deliverance and energy
Back in Black comes from this being on their first album after Bon Scott passed. The album cover was pure black with the AC/DC raised. Whole album is amazing!!
It's a shame you can't attend an ACDC concert anymore, they blew the roof off every time. Even the outdoor concerts, imagine 100,000 people on their feet, actively singing along, cheering the band, rocking out with everything they have, to every single song the band plays from start to finish. Few bands so consistently put out amazing music, and amazing concerts, for decades. This album came out after losing their first singer, as in he died as this album was getting started. The new singer, the one in this video, Brian Johnson, stepped right in and did fantastic. So this song, and this album, were the first tracks with the new singer. Hell of a band, legends one and all.
Here is a list that you should try: -Let There be Rock (official video) or Live at Apollo Theatre -Whole Lotta Rosie (Live at River Plate) -TNT (Live at River Plate) -Riff Raff Live at Apollo Theatre - The Jack Live at River Plate - Its a Long Way to The Top (If you wanna Rock n Roll) - Thunderstruck - Live at River Plate
My husband went to see ACDC in the early 80s. He said he could not hear anything for the following two weeks. He says one of the best and loudest concerts he's ever seen!
I also note you are doing the headbanging and start to play imaginary instruments. It is a common reaction to any AC/DC song. :) "For those about to rock - we salute you!"
The lyrics mentions "nine lives, cats eyes..." The song (and album) is a tribute to the original lead singer Bon Scott. I think there is a metaphorical interpretation of a cat that comes back as a black cat for one its lives, sort of applied to the memory of Bon. Trust me, we all knew what you meant when you said "similar."
"The suit" is, as others have mentioned, is a British school uniform. I went to primary school in Ayrshire Scotland in the '60s and wore a uniform, short pants and all, quite similar to what you see Angus Young wearing. The title "Back In Black" refers to the fact that the original lead singer, a bloke cried Bon Scott, had literally drunk himself to death. "Acute alcohol poisoning" and "death by misadventure" were listed on the official death certificate. The album was both a tribute to their lost friend and bandmate, and a statement of triumph over tragedy. They found a voice that is so similar to Bon's at times that the casual fan literally cannot tell which one is singing. The "other guitar player" is Malcom Young, the older brother of Angus. The bass player is Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd was behind the drum kit. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" would be great song to do a reaction to.
Australian school uniform at the time though the band are almost all of Scottich descent.Back in Black is because the band reformed a few years after Bon died...Most common reason was drink driving.Official reason was heroin overdose rather than alcohol..Either way drink/drugs & motors dont mix.
The song is about their old lead singer. He died of a overdose and AC/DC went on hiatus. They replaced the lead singer with the current one and Back in Black was the first single they released. The band was back, but in mourning...hence the title.
Bro, you've been listening to the greatest hits of the 80's and 70's. Some of the greatest musical hits of all time in quite possibly THE greatest era of music. You've heard them all before because they were so popular when they were created that they made their way to commercials, video games, sports events, shoot ACDC, and Guns and Roses play during EVERY Patriots game lmao most of them were put in your brain before you even knew what was going on around you!
AC/DC has that signature sound. You will ALWAYS know an AC/DC song, no matter when it was recorded, when it was 1975's High Voltage or 2020's Power Up. They have their sound, their style, their groove, and it's worked for almost 50 years. Still selling out stadiums around the world.
@@AJHart-eg1ys Malcome wanted all of their songs to have that grit, grind, and bump as if written to be played at Strip Clubs. They were and they still are. So, whoever else has accomplished that consistently.
@@chuckkelley5894 So since we don't really know of anyone else off the top of our heads, it might be a little much to say they created a genre, while they certainly created - then perfected - their own sound.
I've seen AC/DC that many times in the 80's at Boondall entertainment centre and walked out deaf everytime, but it was worth it. They are awesome in concert.
when a business is "in the red," it's in debt and losing money. when a business is "in the black," it's making a profit. "back in black" means that ac/dc was back on its feet again and successful with the first album after the death of bon scott
Its crazy looking at that crowd .. ACDC's fan base has basically stayed the same age over 3 decades a still gaining young fans in 2021! only a truly awesome and talented band can pull that off
Just as long as you decide to learn about Lil Stank (I'm sure there must be an artist with that name by now), as part of a cultural exchange program. :)
When Angus Young was younger, and the AC-DC was starting out They were going to be playing a show. Angus was trying to figure out what to wear, his sister talked him into wearing the school uniform. He didn't like it, but he did, and it stuck.
Pretty amazing for a 41 year old song huh JoJo, this was the comeback album in 1980 after Bon Scott passed away, I was probably your age a junior in HS.
@@paintslinger16 For about 5 minutes, apparently. Beyond the initial period during which any band might wonder about the future, they continued forward and put together another album, which they'd been doing annually for about half a decade and would do again the following year. You don't come back if you never went anywhere. Take care.
This was my introduction to AC/DC when I was 14 or 15, been hooked ever since. Easily my favourite band. Saw them live at Wembey Arena on the Thunderstruck tour. Loving your reaction to seeing them for the first time! This was the first album after the death of original lead singer Bon Scott. New lead Brian Johnson just fitted so well. Legends.
Angus Young. Angus Young is the guitar guy in the school girl uniform. It's a gag that stuck with the persona of AC/DC. Back in Black is paying homage to their dead original lead singer who passed away before Brian Johnson came to join them. The song is about not being beaten, never letting anything keep you down. Back in black, back on top of your game. You can't be sad while listening to this song. It's an ultimate mood lifter! 2 thumbs up inn your reaction videos. Love 'em! Rock on, bro! Peace Louis
Back in Black was the great return of AC/DC around 1981 after Bon Scott died Feb. 9th, 1980 (their original lead singer). This was Brian Johnson’s first album (current lead singer) with AC/DC. IMO, this track is their #1 signature song that most people would recognize. Listen to the original recording from 40 years ago. Brian’s vocal range was much better back then and the beat was even tighter. Keep up the great vids! I love watching you open your mind to music you wouldn’t normally listen to!! 😎
The song is about being “ Back” after the death of their original lead singer Bon Scott. The album cover after selecting Brian Johnson as a replacement is completely black in color. It s a tribute and our of respect for Bon…
His name is Angus Young, one of the founding members, along with his brother and the late lead singer that Brian Johnston replaced. When you say the one hand guitar open for Thunderstruck, that was him.
So many forget that many of these songs were written with Bon Scott in mind. But he, unfortunately, choked on his own vomit and changed the rotation of the universe.
@@shinykamon188 Bon Scott was actually originally intended to write the lyrics for the album, but he never got the chance. The bells in Hells Bells are also to symbolize his death.
Back in black, first song and album released after the tragic loss of Bon Scott (a true legend),they came back stranger than ever with this gem, and are rightfully considered one of the best rock bands ever
They are one of the most popular bands ever and their music (or at least some parts of them) have been used in countless movies and games and commercials, etc
Yeah you young folks have no idea how great the music was back in the 80's. The Guitarist is Angus Young. He has always worn the school boy uniform. Greatest band to come out of Australia in history!!!
They are one of the bands that really care about their fans. They were devastated because of the tragedy at one of their concerts when they started the song Thunderstruck and the fans surged forward killing three people and injuring several others. They wanted to quit the show but were told not to because it might cause a riot and endanger more people so they pressed on but they visited the injured people at the hospital afterwards. When they are asked about that concert they fall apart every time. I think Angus refuses to talk about it. They truly love their followers always and do their best to put on a great show.
His generation: "Who's the guy in the suit"? My generation: "Uh, WHAT"?!!! One of the catchiest chord progressions and riffs in the history of hard rock. You know you have hit pay dirt when the crowd not only sings the song, they actually chant the chord progressions. They did that a lot in this concert. The man is right, put on your shades and bang your head!
1980 lead singer AC/DC passed away I was 25 years old at the time I was at work and heard over the radio this song is also the name of the album the original singer who started with them passed away and they talked with family and even new of Johnson the new singer and was told by the original singer if anything ever happened to him the check him out this song came out at the end of 80 or beginning of 1981 you're listening to a 40-year-old song I can see you're having a good time because of my age I was able to listen to a lot of music as it came out from the '60s into the '70s into the '80s your reaction was our reaction God bless.
He is Angus.. and the song is from 1980 the first album Brian sang on ! The song is a tribute to Bon Scott who had died 5 months earlier.. and it was saying that Bon would live on through his music and forever be "Back in Black " (living in the Black Vinyl Albums of his Music) Brian Johnson wrote the lyrics as his praise for Bon's career
Their songs have been used in many commercials and movies, such as Bevis and Butt-Head Do America, Deadpool 2,Talledega Nights, Private Parts, The Avengers, School of Rock, Daddy's Home, Bridesmaids, Iron Man and Battleship.
Was introduced to the boys when they first came to England in 77/8. First thing Angus said to me was "What d'you want to drink!" For a brief period I had a great time,,, Few stories in mind.
Angus Young had a brother also in the band who just recently died it was a hell of a funeral for his send off he was knighted and got the royal treatment for his send off.
One of my favs. This song was a sort of comeback song after their original singer (Bon Scott) died. They made the Back In Black album and song with the new singer (Brian) with Bons blessing.
Being at one of their concerts was something you will never forget!! Being surrounded by other fans that love them as much as I do is the BEST.... SIMPLY THE BEST 🌟🌟⚘This band will always be legendary ✌🎶🎶❣
The Album Back in Black is a tribute to an original band member who died. This was their first album after they released. The main Singer is Malcolm and the guy in the shorts on the guitar is Angus. They are brothers. ✌️
Angus once said something like "I am offended by the notion we have released 11 albums that all sound the same. That is completely wrong; we have released 12 albums that all sound the same."
Great reaction, Jo Jo. The song was in IRONMAN, as I saw in other comments. It was also in a Chevy commercial; something about "strutting out of the showroom".
"Back in Black" was the first song AC/DC put out after the death of Bon Scott (vocals). Brian Johnson took over as vocals and AC/DC made this their comeback song off their new album.
Back in black, both the song and album is a statement to the Masses that AC/DC is back. When Bonn Scott died the group was dead in the water without a lead singer. All stopped. Back in Black was their first album after Bonn Scott died...They are back in black (making money)
I would have said the VW bug commercial but that's Black Betty by Ram Jam, other than that Back in Black is a tribute and rebirth. Bon Scott just died right before the album was dropped. When Brian Johnson auditioned, his vocal range, while different, was very similar to Bon Scott. It was like he was back in the studio with them in a different voice with the same range
"Back in Black" or "back in THE black" as a phrase originally comes from the financial and business context - when a company is making losses they are said to be "In the Red" as red ink/ text was used to show figures on accounts that are making a loss. When things start going well again and they return to making profits then normal black ink is used for the figures - the company is "Back in Black". Used more generally, it suggests a person has been going through a really rough time, maybe taken a time-out, but has got their stuff together and making positive moves and things are finally going their way. A great "come-back" song. In AC/DC's context they were coming back after the lead singer passed away.
You are right sir....Angus Young and he's been wearing that school uniform since the band started back in 1973. Unfortunately his older brother Malcolm, rhythm guitar, died in 2017 so no more ACDC. I'm like binging your vids now cause it makes me happy watching you rock the hell out to the music I grew up on! PEACE

Angus Young is just nonstop energy.
Angus Young has to be one of my all time favorite rock guitarists.
Hes a total rock icon, he has his own famous style of a old school boys uniform but performances like this show how he welds basic 3 chord blues style and incorporated it into the hard rock mainstream in his own unique way, and HE is a performance in itself.
Angus is the guitarist you keep asking about my man. He is 65 years old and still a badass!
this song was in iron man, first MCU film
Shoot to thrill also
Well, the studio (superior) version was.
and yes, the studio version IS superior as Brian Young can no longer hit the notes he once did in his "youth".
Wasn't Thunderstruck in there too, or was that Iron Man 2?
The entire MCU just has a great soundtrack.
True story 😄
Angus Young is the lead guitarist! And he's wearing a school uniform, cause back in the day he would run from school and jump on stage live still wearing his school clothes or jam sessions Classic!!

No - I heard the riffs when they were played on the radio and in concert .. I didn't have to wait 40 years for a bunch of movies to use them .. I still have all my original vinyl
The song was mostly used in car commercials lmao
Saw them live at home in Melbourne, Australia in the 90's. It's another level when they play home. Acca Dacca is our anthem.
I’ve seen them twice in Sydney 2010 and 2015 - And I’ve never been two places so loud in my life 😂
I too saw them twice in Oakland ,California USA and it was Bon Scott at the time singing, once outdoors in a colosseum and the other in a old style Auditorium they performed songs from albums "Highway to Hell" and " If You Want Blood you got it" ! we're talking 40 years ago, they were and are amazing. At that time I didn't think there would ever not be a Bon Scott and a Brian Johnson ,it was definitely weird there at first , but you could tell they were back . Brian Johnson has done Bon Scott admirably .
"Never seen that many people at a concert before." Try Metallica, Enter Sandman, Moscow, 1991. It's an eye-opener.
Moscow: 1.6 Million people supposedly... insane...!
@@karthikpolpakkaramana When ACDC rocked out with For those about to Rock , some of the soldiers thought that they were being fired upon until they realised it was part of the act. Remember , this was a time of political upheaval in the Country.
@@karthikpolpakkaramana They were, all for free, it's just I know Metallica don't get blocked.

@@PaulA-bv1rt Those Russian had no idea what they were seeing. Crazy time. Kind of related, years later my buddy and I were discussing the Cold War and the Soviet Union and his then 9 year old said “What’s the Soviet Union?” Totally mind blowing .
Angus becomes his guitar, he is completely engrossed.
Wait until he hears the studio version, his mind will be completely blown
Or check out their performance from the Monsters of Rock festival in 1991 at Castle Donington. They recorded the performance and released it as a live album, as well as a VHS (later a DVD). You can see the entire performance on youtube. That was AC/DC at their absolute apex.
@@pitdoctor Definitely for the Brian Johnson version ! As for the Bon Scott era, 1978 day on the green, Oakland coliseum. They were the opening band and blew my face off ! ( Highway to hell just out) Pat Travers/puttin' it straight, Van Halen/1st album, Foreigner/double vision, Aerosmith/draw the line. Great line-up, hell of a fun concert. AC/DC should have been the closer, Angus was an absolute madman back then with the constant running,spinning,head bobbing ! Aerosmith had nothing but problems (mic's not working, drumset fell over, Steven having a hissy-fit....) Never got to see them with Brian, wish I had. B in B is one of my all time favorite albums.
Yeah, that's why I don't really like the live performances, the studio recordings are better, 100% agreed
Yes he should.
Suprise suprise, its a rap song, even befora rap was a thing
@@steelersarethebest2967 Absolute truth. Live is great when its you know, live. but not recorded. Recorded should always be studio quality.
"How can I explain this?..."
Lemme help from a sec. AC/DC is a BAR BAND! They just happened to make it to superstardom, but they still sound like a bar band.
And THAT is to be admired!
The guitarist in the suit is Angus Young, all 5’2” of him. Definitely one of the greatest guitarists of all time. You need to give “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” by AC/DC a listen, you will like it!
I agree with you on the fact that he needs to react to dirty deeds done dirt cheap
Amen to this! Dirty Deeds needs a listen.
Not the best but not the worst
Yessir
Acdc with Bon Scott you need to play also, Dirty Deeds, Jail Break.
Shoot to thrill was played in the movie The Avengers, when Tony Stark crashes the party of Loki vs Captain America.
SHOOT TO THRILL NEXT!!!!!! ACDC is the band that introduced me to rock so they will always be my favorite and Angus is the one who inspired me to pick up the guitar. Looking forward to more ACDC reactions!
Love the intro on that song.
Oh man, you here this song everywhere. Back in Black is indeed legendary. It will go down in history as a prime example of the music of the time. Im glad you liked it.
There is no bad AC/DC song!
Only band to play the same basic music for 40+ years and not change (and didn't need too) while other bands tried to adapt too what was current to survive.
There are no bad AC/DC songs, just songs that are not AS good. There all great...but some are not as good as others
Exactly! Why fix what isn't broken?
Not even the slow ones are bad. Still bangers
agree 😃✋
Angus Young is the guitarist and he is absolutely legendary and his style and energy people go to see ACDC not just for the music but for Angus as well just an incredible exciting guitarist to watch never slows down never stopped so into his music
This is indeed a song where you gotta pull the shades on, glad you enjoyed it!
I love these reactions, but sometimes I feel like this poor kid has been living under a rock. Glad he’s finally getting to see that there is a lot more to our society. Too funny.
The catalog of All the Songs has grown considerably since you and I were his age, darling. I'm sure there are a few songs even you haven't heard yet. ;)
May I ask for
`You ain't seen nothing yet',
Ma'am ?
Yes indeed. The album Back in Black is one of the top selling albums of all time. I've even seen it ranked 2nd in one list. So it's a bit surprising NOT to have heard of it.
Studio version so much better.
@@anniethenonnymouse Yet, the number of songs worth listening to has not. And when we're talking about one of the best-selling albums of all time ...
Let's just say that although I didn't grow up around the turn of the 19th century, I grew up knowing Beethoven and a few of his singles regardless of the fact that he wasn't exactly in constant rotation around the house, let alone played at every sporting event for decades.
On a lot of these channels they'll claim to have never even HEARD of the artist (Which one is Hootie?). I don't listen to hip-hop, but the huge artists - not just the Lil-of-the-week - eventually penetrate my body of knowledge even if I never listen to them. Some of the reax vids have actually had text on the thumbnail to the effect of, "Who IS MOZART!?"
That speaks to lack of exposure to music in general - not that there are so many artists out there that a kid logically would never have gotten around to Mozart yet. But I applaud the earnest attempts to expand their knowledge.
And, of course, there is a LOT of lying going on on various channels. I'm not saying it's going on here.
Ac⚡DC discovered their sound ain't broke, so they never fixed it. Their songs are similar because it works. Always been my theory anyways. I do enjoy your reviews. You're talented at this.
What's impressive is how flexible they are without compromising the band's signature sound, from slow rock n blues to bordering on metal
Yep, some bands songs have the same sound but its a boring sound. AC/DC is similar but not boring. That's the sound we love.
Likely notice the same mantra with Def Leppard and Van Halen. Unique use and tuning of their guitars, effects, etc...
Yep. They found a recipe that works, and stuck to it. And I for one am glad they did. There are other examples of bands who repeat themselves, without becoming boring, Status Quo for example.
You knew this song because it opened the MCU (movie: Iron Man, the first one, first notes of the soundtrack is this song!)
The guitarist is Angus Young (yes, he is, even now at 65 he's YOUNG!!), his brother is the other guitarist, he died a few years back. Angus wears the school uniform for one of two reasons: (a) he went to practice with the band, and often to local gigs, right after school so no time to change clothes, or (b) he deliberately wore those because he had no better clothes to wear (he started like when he was around 16-17, still in school!). Not sure which is the one but the image "stuck" and is thus since the mid-70s!!
You shook me all night long 🤘 another great AC⚡DC song!
that guy in the suit is actually wearing a old Australian school uniform ;)
His name is Angus Young.
This was a tribute to Bon Scott, black being the traditional color of mourning and fact the band was Back. Angus was still in school when he joined, what he’s wearing is school boy’s uniform complete with cap.
Older videos of Angus shows him playing with a leather school bag on his back.
Angus actually wasn't in school when the band was founded; he dropped out when he was 15. Angus was nearly 19 when they started AC/DC, though they told the media he was younger to boost the band's popularity.
I didn’t know that. I remember hearing a story that he tried a bunch of different costumes that he would wear on stage; none of them really stood out for him. I thought the video I saw was pre AC/DC. I also thought his sister that told him to wear his old school costume, so a legion was born. It is extremely rare that a band would still create new music at such an old age. Not that old bands don’t play; they just don’t make new stuff.
I always felt that AC/DC had there own sound, that is why so many feel their songs all sound the same! All their songs suited their sound!
What makes me laugh about those that badmouth ACDC always say three chord wonders or just playing the same stuff,but when you ask who they think are better they come up with some bands that are lucky to have two hits and they're the same formula or basic use of four chord pop song formula, because that's rock and roll. Also ask them to name another bands top five songs and most will just regurgitate one or two hits they had. The difference between ACDC and the rest is the deliverance and energy
So many memories of blasting this song driving down the road!
Back in Black comes from this being on their first album after Bon Scott passed. The album cover was pure black with the AC/DC raised.
Whole album is amazing!!
This is probably one of the most popular rock songs people recognize nowadays
Why now'ass'days.
What about `formerdays' ?
It's a shame you can't attend an ACDC concert anymore, they blew the roof off every time. Even the outdoor concerts, imagine 100,000 people on their feet, actively singing along, cheering the band, rocking out with everything they have, to every single song the band plays from start to finish. Few bands so consistently put out amazing music, and amazing concerts, for decades. This album came out after losing their first singer, as in he died as this album was getting started. The new singer, the one in this video, Brian Johnson, stepped right in and did fantastic. So this song, and this album, were the first tracks with the new singer. Hell of a band, legends one and all.
Here is a list that you should try:
-Let There be Rock (official video) or Live at Apollo Theatre
-Whole Lotta Rosie (Live at River Plate)
-TNT (Live at River Plate)
-Riff Raff Live at Apollo Theatre
- The Jack Live at River Plate
- Its a Long Way to The Top (If you wanna Rock n Roll)
- Thunderstruck - Live at River Plate

@@skywird333 i Made i mistake, forgot to delete Its a long way - but he made Thunderstruck Official video, not Live
@@jpfeio3 OK, anyway it's not that important, if he looks at the list he will see what he has already listened to
My husband went to see ACDC in the early 80s. He said he could not hear anything for the following two weeks. He says one of the best and loudest concerts he's ever seen!
I saw them live in their home city of Melbourne in the late 80’s and my ears have been ringing ever since
"This is one of them type of songs where you gotta pull the shades out" Hell yea!!
I also note you are doing the headbanging and start to play imaginary instruments. It is a common reaction to any AC/DC song. :) "For those about to rock - we salute you!"
The lyrics mentions "nine lives, cats eyes..." The song (and album) is a tribute to the original lead singer Bon Scott. I think there is a metaphorical interpretation of a cat that comes back as a black cat for one its lives, sort of applied to the memory of Bon. Trust me, we all knew what you meant when you said "similar."
Commercials, TV, movies, this song is everywhere. Lilo&Stitch a Disney cartoon even.
"The suit" is, as others have mentioned, is a British school uniform. I went to primary school in Ayrshire Scotland in the '60s and wore a uniform, short pants and all, quite similar to what you see Angus Young wearing.
The title "Back In Black" refers to the fact that the original lead singer, a bloke cried Bon Scott, had literally drunk himself to death. "Acute alcohol poisoning" and "death by misadventure" were listed on the official death certificate. The album was both a tribute to their lost friend and bandmate, and a statement of triumph over tragedy. They found a voice that is so similar to Bon's at times that the casual fan literally cannot tell which one is singing.
The "other guitar player" is Malcom Young, the older brother of Angus. The bass player is Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd was behind the drum kit.
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" would be great song to do a reaction to.
It’s actually Australian but ok
Australian school uniform at the time though the band are almost all of Scottich descent.Back in Black is because the band reformed a few years after Bon died...Most common reason was drink driving.Official reason was heroin overdose rather than alcohol..Either way drink/drugs & motors dont mix.
Im pretty sure the Australian school uniform design was appropriated from the UK versions but the band have UK roots of influence
Bon Scott wasn't the original singer.
The song is about their old lead singer. He died of a overdose and AC/DC went on hiatus. They replaced the lead singer with the current one and Back in Black was the first single they released. The band was back, but in mourning...hence the title.
I know that I'm not the only one who hears the verses like a sick verbal flow from a dope mc. He's totally rapping on the verses and it's 🔥!!!
☮️❤️🎵
I love how AC/DC fans want to share their love and knowledge of the band in the comment section!
That man is the great Angus Young. It's both great and sad seeing Malcolm, R.I.P. Malcolm
Bro, you've been listening to the greatest hits of the 80's and 70's. Some of the greatest musical hits of all time in quite possibly THE greatest era of music. You've heard them all before because they were so popular when they were created that they made their way to commercials, video games, sports events, shoot ACDC, and Guns and Roses play during EVERY Patriots game lmao most of them were put in your brain before you even knew what was going on around you!
It's a really smart idea for rappers to listen to rock and for rockers to listen to rap. There's a lot of revolutionary fusion out there.
AC/DC has that signature sound. You will ALWAYS know an AC/DC song, no matter when it was recorded, when it was 1975's High Voltage or 2020's Power Up. They have their sound, their style, their groove, and it's worked for almost 50 years. Still selling out stadiums around the world.
The reason their songs sound similar is because they created their own Genre.
Who else would you put in that genre?
@@AJHart-eg1ys Malcome wanted all of their songs to have that grit, grind, and bump as if written to be played at Strip Clubs. They were and they still are. So, whoever else has accomplished that consistently.
@@chuckkelley5894 So since we don't really know of anyone else off the top of our heads, it might be a little much to say they created a genre, while they certainly created - then perfected - their own sound.
@@AJHart-eg1ys Whatever they did, however it ought to be categorized, I'll leave nomenclature to you. Bottom line, we agree, they are one of a kind.
I've seen AC/DC that many times in the 80's at Boondall entertainment centre and walked out deaf everytime, but it was worth it. They are awesome in concert.
when a business is "in the red," it's in debt and losing money.
when a business is "in the black," it's making a profit.
"back in black" means that ac/dc was back on its feet again and successful with the first album after the death of bon scott
no, black is the color you wear when someone dies..they were successful before this album but they wouldn't know how is sold before its release ..
@@joetspaulding Black for mourning
Lmao it's definitely not because they're back killing people 🤣🤣 WHATT lmao
@@Dad...... The original lead singer Bon Scott died, Back In Black was made in his tribute. Black because they were mourning his death
Its crazy looking at that crowd .. ACDC's fan base has basically stayed the same age over 3 decades a still gaining young fans in 2021! only a truly awesome and talented band can pull that off
This kid better be learning about Angus Young... A guitar God in my eyes.
And Sir Jimmy Page ❣️🤘🏼🤘🏼
LOLLO ! :D
Just as long as you decide to learn about Lil Stank (I'm sure there must be an artist with that name by now), as part of a cultural exchange program. :)
When Angus Young was younger, and the AC-DC was starting out They were going to be playing a show. Angus was trying to figure out what to wear, his sister talked him into wearing the school uniform. He didn't like it, but he did, and it stuck.
You got to check out the entire ACDC live at RiverPlate concert it's awesome
This does my heart good to see young people reliving our 80s magic
Angus rocks!
Pretty amazing for a 41 year old song huh JoJo, this was the comeback album in 1980 after Bon Scott passed away, I was probably your age a junior in HS.
Yes. They came back from the MONTHS that had passed since they released 1979's Highway to Hell. 🤣
@@AJHart-eg1ys yes comeback because they had doubts they would even continue as a band
@@paintslinger16 For about 5 minutes, apparently. Beyond the initial period during which any band might wonder about the future, they continued forward and put together another album, which they'd been doing annually for about half a decade and would do again the following year.
You don't come back if you never went anywhere.
Take care.
This was my introduction to AC/DC when I was 14 or 15, been hooked ever since. Easily my favourite band. Saw them live at Wembey Arena on the Thunderstruck tour. Loving your reaction to seeing them for the first time! This was the first album after the death of original lead singer Bon Scott. New lead Brian Johnson just fitted so well. Legends.
Angus Young. Angus Young is the guitar guy in the school girl uniform. It's a gag that stuck with the persona of AC/DC. Back in Black is paying homage to their dead original lead singer who passed away before Brian Johnson came to join them. The song is about not being beaten, never letting anything keep you down. Back in black, back on top of your game. You can't be sad while listening to this song. It's an ultimate mood lifter! 2 thumbs up inn your reaction videos. Love 'em!
Rock on, bro!
Peace

You are so fun to watch music that is my era! Enjoy watching you!
You know these guys are still making hits they just did a new album last year
Well ... they're still making SONGS. I don't know about "hits."
Back in Black was the great return of AC/DC around 1981 after Bon Scott died Feb. 9th, 1980 (their original lead singer). This was Brian Johnson’s first album (current lead singer) with AC/DC. IMO, this track is their #1 signature song that most people would recognize. Listen to the original recording from 40 years ago. Brian’s vocal range was much better back then and the beat was even tighter. Keep up the great vids! I love watching you open your mind to music you wouldn’t normally listen to!! 😎
This song was the theme song for the movie iron Man and the introduction when he put on the suit and came out that's where you've heard it before
The song is about being “ Back” after the death of their original lead singer Bon Scott. The album cover after selecting Brian Johnson as a replacement is completely black in color. It s a tribute and our of respect for Bon…
Angus young is the one u talking about and he always wears his old school boy uniform
His name is Angus Young, one of the founding members, along with his brother and the late lead singer that Brian Johnston replaced. When you say the one hand guitar open for Thunderstruck, that was him.
So many forget that many of these songs were written with Bon Scott in mind. But he, unfortunately, choked on his own vomit and changed the rotation of the universe.
I actually didn’t know it was written for Bon
@@shinykamon188 Bon Scott was actually originally intended to write the lyrics for the album, but he never got the chance. The bells in Hells Bells are also to symbolize his death.
Back in black, first song and album released after the tragic loss of Bon Scott (a true legend),they came back stranger than ever with this gem, and are rightfully considered one of the best rock bands ever
It’s real. U need to go to their concert. No faking like the shit today. The boys are legit.
They are one of the most popular bands ever and their music (or at least some parts of them) have been used in countless movies and games and commercials, etc
listen to ACDC let there be rock next
Yeah you young folks have no idea how great the music was back in the 80's. The Guitarist is Angus Young. He has always worn the school boy uniform. Greatest band to come out of Australia in history!!!
They are one of the bands that really care about their fans. They were devastated because of the tragedy at one of their concerts when they started the song Thunderstruck and the fans surged forward killing three people and injuring several others. They wanted to quit the show but were told not to because it might cause a riot and endanger more people so they pressed on but they visited the injured people at the hospital afterwards. When they are asked about that concert they fall apart every time. I think Angus refuses to talk about it. They truly love their followers always and do their best to put on a great show.
AC/DC was my very first concert and it was awesome! Angus rocked through the whole concert!
His generation: "Who's the guy in the suit"? My generation: "Uh, WHAT"?!!! One of the catchiest chord progressions and riffs in the history of hard rock. You know you have hit pay dirt when the crowd not only sings the song, they actually chant the chord progressions. They did that a lot in this concert. The man is right, put on your shades and bang your head!
This riff was used as a sample by one of the Beastie Boys 1st songs ROCK HARD...,
If you do another acdc, please do "shook me all night long"
Back in black was the title of song and album becuase the band was back after the previous lead singer, bon scott, passed away
1980 lead singer AC/DC passed away I was 25 years old at the time I was at work and heard over the radio this song is also the name of the album the original singer who started with them passed away and they talked with family and even new of Johnson the new singer and was told by the original singer if anything ever happened to him the check him out this song came out at the end of 80 or beginning of 1981 you're listening to a 40-year-old song I can see you're having a good time because of my age I was able to listen to a lot of music as it came out from the '60s into the '70s into the '80s your reaction was our reaction God bless.
He is Angus.. and the song is from 1980 the first album Brian sang on ! The song is a tribute to Bon Scott who had died 5 months earlier.. and it was saying that Bon would live on through his music and forever be "Back in Black " (living in the Black Vinyl Albums of his Music) Brian Johnson wrote the lyrics as his praise for Bon's career
Their songs have been used in many commercials and movies, such as Bevis and Butt-Head Do America, Deadpool 2,Talledega Nights, Private Parts, The Avengers, School of Rock, Daddy's Home, Bridesmaids, Iron Man and Battleship.
The best way to encounter AC/DC is in live concert. If you get the chance, catch one of their shows - your life will never be the same.
I saw AC DC at SARS Stock in Canada. You should watch that concert. Rolling Stones, the Doors, Rush, AC DC and more. I was there it was awesome
Was introduced to the boys when they first came to England in 77/8. First thing Angus said to me was "What d'you want to drink!" For a brief period I had a great time,,, Few stories in mind.
Angus Young had a brother also in the band who just recently died it was a hell of a funeral for his send off he was knighted and got the royal treatment for his send off.
One of my favs. This song was a sort of comeback song after their original singer (Bon Scott) died. They made the Back In Black album and song with the new singer (Brian) with Bons blessing.
Being at one of their concerts was something you will never forget!! Being surrounded by other fans that love them as much as I do is the BEST.... SIMPLY THE BEST 🌟🌟⚘This band will always be legendary ✌🎶🎶❣
The Album Back in Black is a tribute to an original band member who died. This was their first album after they released. The main Singer is Malcolm and the guy in the shorts on the guitar is Angus. They are brothers. ✌️
Angus once said something like "I am offended by the notion we have released 11 albums that all sound the same. That is completely wrong; we have released 12 albums that all sound the same."
Great reaction, Jo Jo. The song was in IRONMAN, as I saw in other comments. It was also in a Chevy commercial; something about "strutting out of the showroom".
I had the good fortune and great pleasure to see them twice in the '80's.
You might know the beginning of the song from the movie “Iron Man”, it’s played while they’re in the humvee
"Back in Black" was the first song AC/DC put out after the death of Bon Scott (vocals). Brian Johnson took over as vocals and AC/DC made this their comeback song off their new album.
Back in black, both the song and album is a statement to the Masses that AC/DC is back. When Bonn Scott died the group was dead in the water without a lead singer. All stopped. Back in Black was their first album after Bonn Scott died...They are back in black (making money)
It's so refreshing to see you getting into this music. Respect!
I would have said the VW bug commercial but that's Black Betty by Ram Jam, other than that Back in Black is a tribute and rebirth. Bon Scott just died right before the album was dropped. When Brian Johnson auditioned, his vocal range, while different, was very similar to Bon Scott. It was like he was back in the studio with them in a different voice with the same range
"Back in Black" or "back in THE black" as a phrase originally comes from the financial and business context - when a company is making losses they are said to be "In the Red" as red ink/ text was used to show figures on accounts that are making a loss. When things start going well again and they return to making profits then normal black ink is used for the figures - the company is "Back in Black". Used more generally, it suggests a person has been going through a really rough time, maybe taken a time-out, but has got their stuff together and making positive moves and things are finally going their way. A great "come-back" song. In AC/DC's context they were coming back after the lead singer passed away.
Holy shit, the more ac/dc that I listen to the more I start looking up to Phil rudd the living metronome.
You are right sir....Angus Young and he's been wearing that school uniform since the band started back in 1973. Unfortunately his older brother Malcolm, rhythm guitar, died in 2017 so no more ACDC. I'm like binging your vids now cause it makes me happy watching you rock the hell out to the music I grew up on! PEACE
The got the band name from his the Young's sister's sewing machine. There was an AC/DC label on the machine.
