    Oh Thank you. This tour was my first concert, and first of two times seeing them. This was Malcolm's song to us fans. Those cannons blew not just my mind, as they are loud asf, but being at the top of the coliseum, the wind from them was literally blowing our hair out of our faces. Diehard fan from that moment since. To this day its like I can feel the wind when I listen to this song.

    Great reaction. Good call on the “School of Rock”, Jack Black connection as Jack is dressed as AC/DC guitarist, Angus Young at the end and the song they close out the movie with is AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top, if You Want to Rock and Roll”. Originally released in 1976 with Bon Scott on vocals. I first saw AC/DC in Toronto in 1983. This is almost always their final song of the show and back then, the cannons were so loud that they shook the arena and the night before in Buffalo, they apparently shook neighbouring houses, lol.

    I saw them live in 1986 and when they did this song with the black powder cannons you could actually feel the concussion blast hit your chest when the cannons fired as well as the dust that was coming down from the ceiling that they were shaking loose. It was truly an experience where you experienced this song with more than just your ears as a live performance.

    The song has two points of inspiration. When touring England during the 70's, Malcolm Young saw an old Howitzer Canon in a farmers paddock. He made a point to remember it. Then, before or during making the album this song comes from, Malcolm was reading a book about the Gladiators called, For those about to die, we salute you. Then he remembered the Howitzer, he got an idea for some lyrics that Brian worked on, while putting it together with a riff he was working on that he thought would pair up well with the lyrics. And there you go, one of the greatest anthems by the band that writes the greatest anthems in Rock & Roll was written! By the way, the canons they use for live performances, they are the real deal. They actually could fire live rounds!

    Great band and great song. You know you have something when a band can basically do the same few song structures over and over again and it still rocks. Not many bands can be so great while be so much the same. This is not a cut down really. It is a great thing that their songs are still so awesome. I do like other bands like Rush and Led Zeppelin that grew and evolved over time better. But it is nice to hear a good old AC/DC song every now and then.

    Jack Black is actually trying to emulate Brian's growl, not his voice entirely but definitely his Geordie growl... But Brians voice is that all the time... Like when Brian Johnson speaks he sounds like what I imagine a 1670s Privateer (pirate) with a thick Geordie accent would've sounded like...

    When Back in Black came and had this success and made such an impact I was curious about how they could follow up such a tremendous success. And then in 1981 For those about to rock released as their next album... And it was even better! Yes, of course it didn't sell like Back in Black but it was even more powerful and mature. For me this is AC/DC's best song and they have a lot of great songs.

    Dude!
    This album came out in 1981!
    ...the album after Back In Black!
    ...in a LOT of ways, fans can tell you that: it WAS, after-a-fashion, a "farewell"album (unintentionally). They didn't have another successful go-'round (not at THIS level!) until "Thunderstruck" came out (I think that was, like '87 or '88 ...I don't recall, exactly 🤷🤷/
    Back In Black is perfect. A perfect album.
    This is, like, "one step below." It never gets the FULL credit it is, really, due. ...but this album, really, cemented them as "worldwide huge."
    ...the other weird thing is that: the title of the album (and of this song-obviously!), derives, in fact, from something that gladiators in the roman coliseum were forced to say (...but, here, it's "flipped," in a way).
    The phrase was, in fact: "We who are about to die, salute you."
    ...pronounced to/at the "royalty" (and so-forth) who were in attendance,-There, to watch people murder one-another, for others', supposed, "enjoyment!" 😡😡😡😡😡
    ...so, NOT, actually, a phrase that is ...that one would WANT to be stating.
    ...now I do not have the knowledge, here, to know whether someone, in a novel or a film, perhaps, had changed/"repurposed" said (well-recognized) phrase, at some point and used its negative, belittling sourcing to counteract what was going on with the characters (leading, thereby, to something along-the-lines of: "...for those who are about to die, we salute YOU" (turning the honor in the correct direction, thereby.)-).
    ...or, it may have been AC/DC themselves, who re-conceptualized this, to, instead, be a statement of honor/respect to their fans, Yes., that is, quite, possible.
    ..anyhow: out of that, comes: "For Those About To ROCK" -"Rock" replacing "die"- "(We Salute You)".
    -a much more acceptable and celebratory concept.
    -It IS, somehow, weird that: the 2 biggest set-pieces for this band, in fact, both, hail from this period, just after Bon Scott's tragic death.
    On Back In Black, there was the song "Hell's Bells" and that became a fixture on stage with the, actual, poured iron "Hell's Bell" that came out in that tour ...and every tour after (of course, I haven't seen the band in 20 years, or so) (and would not, after Malcolm's death. I thought they would shut-it-down ...but ...🤷🤷) ...so, I ASSUME that: they, still, bring it our =t with them.
    It has been a fixture for ...well: ...would be over 40 years, now! 🤷).
    THEN, because of the cannon-fire you heard, on that track, the band, also, decided to have ACTUAL (well, o.k., not "actual." They didn't get "functional munitions" made and put on-stage POINTING AT THEIR AUDIENCE!
    ...However: they DID have real cannon-style, metal, things made, which, while they did NOT fire cannonballs, WERE, absolutely, used to contain and have explosives set-off in their barrels.
    SO: WHEN you go see the band and they play THIS SONG! THEY, ACTUALLY,. SET-off "cannon-fire" and you hear the song as close to the album version as you could imagine!
    Yes.
    ...that's dedication!
    (and: a bit insane, as well!!!! 😆🤣😛😜🤘🤘🌩).

    Those are cannons you are hearing! Very loud and amazing live! ACDC usually ends their concerts with this song!
