AC⚡️DC: Back In Black | Recording One of The Greatest Rock 'N' Roll Albums Of All Time!

[@bornskinny77]

The last time I saw my mother alive, was at my 7th birthday in 1984. She gave me Back in Black on a cassette tape an told me it was herr favorite band. Needless to say, I friggin love this record!

Sorry for your loss, that's a very young age to lose your mother.

Just got back a couple of months ago from vacation and Nassau was one of the spots...I contacted the owner of the Studio Cafe which is what Compass Point studios has turned into, among other businesses. He was so cool...we emailed back and forth a few months prior and he agreed to show me around. Needless to say all the equipment and everything has been gone since 2016 I believe but it was still so cool to walk on the grounds and through the buildings where so many classic records were recorded...Back in Black..Powerslave...just 2 name a couple. Also lucked out with our taxi driver Benjamin...turned out he was a session musician that recorded at Compass Point many times. We invited him to join us for the tour and some lunch at the Studio Cafe and he was able to tell us what building and rooms were what back in the day. Such an amazing experience!!

[@Elwrt455]

As an American teen the riff on "Back in Black" just grabbed me. I knew little about the band & phenomenal frontman/singer Bon Scott (RIH). Brian Johnson is a great frontman

[@YtuserSumone-rl6sw]

Amen. Brian grabbed a new generation here in Europe as well. Even after getting the Bon era albums and loving them, it took me a some years to really love Bon's funny tone. Now my fav's are mostly Bon era.

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

The first concert I ever went to was Kiss on their “Rock and Roll Over” tour. They had this unknown little band called AC/DC as their opening act! They were MUCH BETTER than Kiss, even without all the special effects and theatrics! They blew me away!!! I’ll never forget forget Angus carrying Bon on his back, going through the audience! Correction: it was Bon carrying Angus on his back!

Excellent point. KISS is probably The Best marketed band of all time, and they're a Blast In Concert. However, they aren't near the musician's ACDC is. Gene (adequate musician, but Genius Marketer)Simmons himself has always taunted the great show's they put on, but not necessarily the actual band itself is. Behind closed doors GS would be the 1st to agree with us, you might not even have to close the doors......

[@SoloDallas]

There is NO other band like AC/DC in the Rock 'N Roll world and NEVER will there be another one again. They were simply exceptional, very underrated very often and simply amazingly talented, brilliant and innovative.

[@kennethpiet2079]

They just play like a machine in concert they just keep going they get stronger as the show goes it's unreal they are one of the best for sure

[@brentbare7280]

AC/DC Is My All-Time Favorite Band... Highway To Hell Will Always Be My Favorite Album From Them...

[@dramoth64]

AC/DC... the greatest little pub rock band in the world. You can imagine them playing to 10 people in a back street pub, or a million people at a festival... and you would still get the same performance from them. They're simply the best.

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

That was one of the greatest, truest discription of this band!

[@genxpilot69]

[@rocknroller77]

Bon was such a fox. So much charisma you felt it through the screen. My favorite band of all time. Both Bon and Brian eras

[@shewolfcub3]

I think Bon was better overall but both are simply fantastic

[@jfromstate8581]

His voice was much more recognizable imo

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

I got sad seeing Bon Scott. He was such a great dude and honest rocker! Lost him way to early. He was just reaching his peak when we lost him!

[@shewolfcub3]

Agreed, Powerage is their magnum opus and they didnt have a single bad album with Bon

[@deathchronicles6960]

Even without trying his lifestyle talking movement behaviour is seriousy rocker man already..

[@brianallison1913]

Highway to Hell put them on the map because of the iconic title track but I believe as a whole that the Powerage album is a far superior album and is sadly to this day one of the most underrated albums ever created. I think it is the so to speak Back in Black of the Bon Scott era. It's loaded with gems and sprinkled with semi precious (but still desirable) stones. I've always liked the sound of Brian's voice better (Scott was superior in writing lyrics) but Scott's voice was the perfect fit for the Powerage album and nobody can match him on it. I do believe Scotts fingerprints are on the BIB album but whether it's true or not Johnson was the unparalleled fit to sing that album. Sadly, it's so close to the time that the world will speak of AC/DC in past tense. I really stress the sadly part because I've never idolized any celebrity including any that make up AC/DC but when Malcom died along with myself being 40 and enjoying their music for the past 35 of those years, I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel like a part of my life/me has died as well. Don't let anyone bullshit you. Getting old sucks.

You are correct about Bons finger prints on BIB. His lyrics are surely in "You Shook Me All Night Long". My fav Johnson album "Flick of the Switch" Fav Bon album "If you want Blood"

My favourite album is - Let there be Rock. Favourite songs - Shoot to thrill, up to my neck in you, Squealer (Favourite Angus solo), and Ride On - just to name a few 😉

[@lasjok3r97]

Let There Be Rock is also my favorite! Bad Boy Boogie live with Bon is electric dynamite!

"Hells bells" its one of those tracks that send the chills up your spine. And you wish you could sing it like Johnson does.

[@sayeager5559]

[@111highgh]

All of a sudden it became fashionable to say that Powerage is your "favourite" AC/DC album. You're a poser.

[@chucksimon8980]

I'm a good judge of the energy & music that rock bands have created & performed in history, intently listening to their sound and amplified vocals & instruments, wether recorded in a studio or live on stage..the bottom line is, in the world of rock bands comparing to each other, since the late 50s.. there is no other band that could find or produce the raunchy, mean, energetic rock sound that ACDC had with 5 band members, lighting the world on fire with their paramount blast of explosive energy. The powerful rythyms & lead guitar sounds of the Young brothers, their thumping base, the scratchy tenor voices of both Bon & Brian in their tenures, and the beat of their drums in tempo & their hellish raunchy lyrics. The Best! There is no other band!

[@songkhla1]

Richard Ramirez was called Night Prowler, but this was a full 5 years after the song of the same name was recorded. Unless they have some psychic ability the two are unrelated. Ramirez did wear an AC DC hat during some of his crimes, but wasn't wearing it when he was arrested.

[@rickbrowne9559]

He was called the Night stalker.

[@sigarrett7266]

You're right that this documentary has got that totally wrong, and the Night STALKER case was 5 years after they recorded HTH, but you have partially absorbed their mistake about the name.

[@SkyTurnsPurplePhotography]

My first album like this was Appetite For Destruction. As a kid, GNR knocked me on my ass. My uncle has the AC/DC album & a lot of Who, so I was familiar with them but I was pretty young. Appetite For Destruction came out at the perfect age for me because I had my own band. I liked AC/DC but they were more my uncle's band. I rediscovered AC/DC in the 90s in high school and through the early 2000s and finally really got how great they were. I think I needed to mature to an age where their lyrics really hit with the vocals and riffs. Soundgarden, Faith No More, Audioslave, all had excellent vocals, guitar riffs, powerful singers, and made music I could genuinely relate to. Audioslave was the last rock band to put together legit tunes from across the eras that was hard but perfectly executed, and difficult. Other bands after the 90s grunge era are really just tame and lame studio products. It's not legit hard rock from legit rockers. You have pussies like Maroon 5 and Coldplay trying to pose like they are in this category. They are tame rock, like radio pop rock. They're not hard and gritty. Nickleback, Creed, My Chemical Romance, weak. System of a Down are pretty legit but are more metal, but the rock of AC/DCs era pretty much died out with Audioslave. Kids these days try to copy the sounds here and there with a riff using the same guitars, but it's not the same. Kings of Leon is a good example. Good band, but they're not hard rock and the same grunting and screaming manly way that real rockers are. Even Steven Tyler is gonna outrock these kids, and he's old asf.

[@c.e.anderson558]

I like how Brian puts everything he has into each song. He seems on the point of collapse dozens of times. Each song.

[@martymartin2894]

There's a great video of them doing live rehearsal for flick of the switch and doing guns for hire over and over and I never realised until I seen it just how much effort and power Brian Johnson put into his singing.

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

I loved Bon, but then also loved Brian too! One of the very few bands that lost their Frontman, but still continued on successfully! Never felt that Bon was being disrespected, but felt Bon was looking down saying, “Well done Mates”!

In 1980, I was in 5th grade and first heard Back in Black album on a 33 RPM record player when my buddy invited me over to his house. We spent hours and days after school listening to this album on repeat in his partially finished attic. We were too young for sex & drugs, but not rock & roll. We’d play it as loud as his mini phonograph would go while playing nerf dunkyball. Has to be my #1 favorite LP of all time by ANY band. Hard not to go back to my fun youth every time I hear a song off this album. I like to think it keeps me young!😀 Thanks Rob S. for introducing me to AC/DC!

[@jeffo8455]

I remember when the highly anticipated Back in Black came out like it was yesterday. I got to know Bon Scott ACDC very well in the years leading up to the Brian Johnson era. My hoodlum teenage buddies and I listened to their music well before Highway to Hell came out. We partied to their music and we fought to their music. When Back in Black came out, half of my friends thought Johnson sounded exactly like Scott, but I didn't think the music or singing sounded anything like Bon era ACDC. In fact, It took me a while to embrace the new music. Hells Bells and For Those About to Rock were the two songs responsible for drawing me in. I still love both era's of ACDC, probably more than any other band. I never get tired of their music. I bought tickets to their 2025 show in Chicago to help give them the final sendoff they deserve.

1:36:39 " The song(Night prowler) was alledgedly written about the serial killer Richard Ramirez. Known as the night prowler. Whom, when was finally caught, was wearing an AC/DC-T-shirt. Bon allways maintained otherwise." BOLLOCKS!!! It was the other way around. Night prowler was recorded in 1979. Bon died in 1980. "The night STALKER", Richard Ramirez started his killing spree in about 1984, and was caught in August 1985. He was wearing an AC/DC T-shirt though, and there were speculations in papers on wether Ramirez was inspired by the song.

He wasn't wearing an acdc t-shirt when he was captured. It was a Jack Daniels one.

[@JustAnAnonymousViewer]

The narrator is completely wrong about "Night Prowler". That song was not written about the serial killer, who was apparently an AC/DC fan but his crimes were committed 5 years AFTER Highway To Hell was released. So unless he was the world's first time travelling murderer it would have been impossible for the band to have based that song on his activities. Also, Malcolm Dome has an odd way of interpreting "Shake A Leg". The most common meaning of the phrase in England during that period (especially amongst working class people like Brian) was to "get down and have a good time" or "let loose and have a party". Alternately it was used to mean "hurry up", as in "Shake a leg, we're going to be late". And just by looking at the song's lyrics, Dome's theory about shaking a certain other part of the body makes no sense within the context of the song.

[@Concernedworldcitizen]

Shake a leg means “get up and go / move”

I could watch Acca Dacca forever. Such an entertaining band. My heart is with Bon because that is when I became a diehard fan. He was a bloody hero to me in all of his okka rawness.

If you could, my God I would have taken Bon home that night, been in the pool with Brian Jones, called the police on the arsehole who does not deserve a name, for having a gun and kicked John's murderer in the teensy balls before he could cowardly pull out his gun at the entrance of the Dakota, ...

I hear a lot of people say Brian sounds just like Bon. Honestly, maybe I just have a more keen ear, I dunno, but I don't think they sound anything alike. Both are amazing rock n roll singers and I don't have a favorite really, but I don't understand how anyone can hear one and then the other and think they sound the same. Bon has a drier voice, more mid range and less scream. Brian's vocals are like a pissed off banshee, lots of high end and demonic squealing.

[@tomfabozzi5353]

Brian had a higher range and sang with a lot more vocal fry/grit in his voice than Bon. Even by 83 he was struggling to hit the notes he’d done on record. And his voice is f***ed now- no power, except at the bottom end, and no range. I’ve heard innumerable clips of Bon live and he never sounded like he couldn’t hit his notes. Sometimes he had to scream a bit to get them, but he sang within his range. Then again, we never got the chance to hear Bon sing in his 60s, and with his lifestyle, God only knows what his voice would’ve sounded like!

Many times when your fiinal cuts go into editing and mix ,they add beefer sounds or studio musicians to add what the engineer and producers think what might add to your work.

Great video! Best Band EVER!

[@Fultonfalcons86]

Iron man 2 brought it out into the forefront of rock Shoot To Thrill is one of the greatest rock songs ever

[@oldViking66]

I have the original Album Back n Black still in the plastic cover

[@thewaltbrownellchannel9318]

Back in Black was with Brian, but he is missing in the thumbnail, I love Bon, but it seems disrespectful to Brian

That's the tour I saw them on in Dallas Texas Reunion Arena.

There's a big lie towards the end regarding the Night Stalker Richard Ramirez. Those killings happened a few years later in the early '80s, Bon was already gone, he never wrote "Night Prowler" in 1979 about Ramirez or denied it. It's the other way around. Ramirez was inspired by the "Night Prowler" song and left an AC/DC cap at the crime scene. The band (with Brian, not Bon) denied any Satanic message or connection.

What song is the riff from at the beginning of this video?

[@armchairgravy8224]

Shoot to Thrill is the first song I blew a set of speakers playing it.

[@rickbrowne9559]

You should get better speakers mate.

[@jimmyhawke]

Hell's Bells came after Bon's death from someone offhandedly saying 'hell's bells...what are we going to do'?

Oh the Truth is There's so much to this Album that's being missed !! It's so much bigger , Truth needs to prevail over the misinformation !!

[@spooge33]

I'm with you. You know that.

[@rickbrowne9559]

The song night prowler was not written about Richard Ramirez as his crimes were committed a full 6 years after the song was recorded and when he was captured, by the public, he wasn't wearing an acdc tee shirt, it was a Jack Daniels one.

[@cmberrian]

I literally just started watching this, seeing your comment makes me think that this documentary is going to make the claim you corrected and this has me filled with apprehension about watching this much further. I've already been disappointed to see most of the talking is being done by the same talking head "experts" that have miraculously made their living just by being fans like you and me.

Bon Scott has Highway to Hell and Brian Johnson has Hell's Bells their both equally famous and great songs and no one can argue that one in my view .

Malcom wrote many of the lyrics so that's insulting to his talent and memory.

[@shewolfcub3]

@@gideonharris1493 No he didnt. Bon Scott wrote the lyrics to their 70s stuff, Brian wrote most from Back In Black until Blow Up Your Video. Malcolm wrote riffs that were mindblowingly amazing and he was a super talented guitarist, though not a great lyricist.

[@gideonharris1493]

@@shewolfcub3 I was not referring to pre Brian at all! Correct if I'm wrong, I understand you wrote the lyrics post Bon were shit! Well, not all those song lyrics were always written purely by Brian. Some were from Mal. Ofcourse Bon was the lyricist when he was with us!

[@Peter-by3ox]

Hells Bells gave AC/DC kudos with the metal community along with their frenetic live shows and often got them misrepresented as a heavy metal band.

[@johndef5075]

I love Bon. He was the one I first heard in 1977. But Hells Bells might be their best song.
