Soon to be a classic. Liked AC/DC Since they first showed up. Great song here when you're sitting sipping some whisky, smoking a cigar.......Turn it up, Tap your foot and play your Angus air guitar...You know you want too.

I have loved AC/DC since the high school days back in the 80s! Saw them live a couple of times. Always a great show.

Got a lot of AC/DC music but have not heard that one. Thanks for posting.
Rock the Blues Away is one of my favorites.

A bit of trivia - I would imagine most Americans don't know what the song "The Jack" is about.
I had to Google it.
Turns out it's an Australian slang for VD.
One of the groupies gave it to one of the band members.
The song will make more sense knowing that.

I went and googled the lyrics to refresh my memory. Yeah, makes more sense now! LOL!

I like the Bon Scott era of AC/DC better than the Brian Johnson. Don't get me wrong Johnson is good, but Scott was the original.

That's AC DC minus E plus B ... Just what I've always called them...

I remember back in the day when we had the grandkids racing (motocross)... The guys (and kids) did a quick weekend trip (drive all night Thur. night practice Fri. race Sat/Sun. drive all night Sun. night back to work Mon. morning) up to Ohio or Indiana ... The kids loved to hear "Big Balls""... They would giggle and blush... Say that they were talking about them... LOL..
It was funny... kinda had to be there...

Hard to believe that Bon Scott has been gone for over 40 years...I feel old...

He died young, but at least he made it past the 27 club.

If y'all get a chance to look at the mists of time, find the one labeled This Is For Mal.

HUUUGE ACDC fan. Seen them a few times. New album is great, I like the Realize track. As a musician I am happy to see Malcolm get some respect finally as he was actually the brains of ACDC.

As was said, like both but Bon for me all the way. This is a DEMO as in no studio magic overdubs...

Amazing how good this little speaker sounds lol

I really love the band HSCC, The Hindley Street Country Club, out of Australia. I watch their videos constantly. Their sound quality is awesome! That bass player is so cool. I think he the one that started the band. They do covers and have several singers. They just announced they are coming to the US. I am hoping for a Texas stop.

I listen to a myriad of music, but mostly centered on hard rock. I loved the Bon Scott era AC/DC because it was so raw...and simple. I could play almost every song...most were repetitive three chords and it was easy to make it all sound great as a teenage guitar player. Kind of like the Blues, everyone could play the rhythm guitar to it, which meant it was easier to jam with people.

When Johnson came on the scene, it was hard for me to take his voice. He sounds like hes trying to sing while taking a constipated crap! But I got used to it and did enjoy the newer AC/DC, although I am not a fan of "anthem songs" manufactured for the musically incapable to stomp their feet and repetitively sing along with, and a lot of the newer ACDC was like that...thicker and richer track mix and music in general, but overproduced for me. That's why even today, most of the music I carry in my mix is the older albums/songs of bands. Fame and money seem to ruin their raw edge I liked at first.

Fun fact. I listened to a guy bieng interviewed on the radio years ago about his book on the taking of Falluja Iraq during the war. What a picture that guy painted as he read excerpts from the book. The marines amassed on the outskirts in preparation and as they began to enter the city/battle, they had a flatbed truck with huge speakers on it (psy-ops) that blasted Hell's Bells at the enemy in the city. Gives me chills today to think about it. Can you imagine bieng in that city, a Muslim combatant, waiting for the battle and THAT song gets piped in? The Marines had a soundtrack behind them, but couldn't hear much of it because the mortars walked through the city ahead of them softening the ground for the urban combat.
