RIP Malcom🖤 We salute you always!🤘🏼

[@adiadv10]

I had the privilege of meeting them 20+ years ago. One of my favorite pictures is Malcolm signing his autograph for me. I landed a backstage pass at the last second when someone went outside to smoke. They were truly a great bunch of guys, and they couldn't have been more down to earth and cordial. My husband got to tell Angus what an influence he had on him musically, and how much it helped him during his first battle with cancer.

Saw AC/DC in London on this tour on 1982, a few days after my 16th birthday. Fabulous song & has stayed with me some 40 + years. We Salute You.

[@ToaGatanuva]

This is personally the best version of the song ever. the speed is good. the Guitars are precise. Drums brings thundersounds. And Brian's vocals are absolute perfect. Only one thing stood between me and this live show: I wasn't born

[@monster24659]

same I wasn't born until 1997

[@ToaGatanuva]

98

[@joefoley9894]

I went to see then on Thursday I think this was the best song of the night. If you want blood you've got it was brilliant too

[@devynphillips3925]

Phil Rudd is better on the drums though, and it sounds better with Phil Rudd.

[@pnutsnz]

Hehe, well said!. Not being born is a good reason for not being there!. LOL

[@martynm.449]

This particular live performance is epic. Rock n Roll at its best.

I would've killed to see these guys at this concert. That's why they need time machines! Since being only 15 haven't gotten to see any of the truly awesome bands

[@travissearles23]

I don't know why people assume you need a machine to travel through time because personally i don't!

[@fretfix1]

Saw them with my chest against the stage wall in Jacksonville, FL 1980 Back In Black tour. Now that was time machine-worthy!!

[@nolanboles8492]

@@joandrumz3176 AC/DC refused to categorize themselves. Bon and the Young brothers, in particular, fought hard against that, styling themselves simply as rock and roll. Hard rock, yes, but not metal. Their sounds are completely different.

[@mrhyde2484]

ACDC found the best possible singer on the planet after Bon died. Bon will always be the greatest ever, but Brian is pretty great himself.

James Hetfield too.

[@mattstone5789]

Just brilliant. Probably one of the greatest of rock anthems. Saw them on this tour in 1982. A few weeks after my 16th birthday. Happy headbanging days.

[@foto21]

I like a lot of bands a lot, but the rhythm section in this band is what made them great. Their ability to swing and not waver or speed up until they wanted to was epic.

[@phelixavon-chevrette4323]

Not one band today compared to the energy and talent this band has. Miss music like this

Such a great band! Brian’s powerful voice and Angus's fantastic guitar playing! 🎶🤘🎤🎸

Kings among Men without a damn doubt! Angus still rocks out as if he never aged! He's a kid at heart! The day he slows down is gonna be a sad day indeed! Rock on brothers!

[@TTownTim]

We opened a show with this as a cover.. HARD AF to pull off. In a prison... as part of a prison band. A very committed audience. It was Fookin Awesome!!!!

[@Incognitofrito1]

I saw AC/DC live a couple times in the 80's & almost died from their freaking AWESOMENESS!!! I've seen hundreds of concerts in my life & never partied & rocked so hard. I'd say Ozzy, Rob Zombie & Nine Inch Nails are close behind in the "rocked my world live" category...but DAYUM these guys were CRAZY fun! 🎶 💃 🎸 🎶

[@darkprincess1366]

That's so dope ☺️

[@Dirty_Squirrell]

AC/DC was so much fun back in the early 80s through to the 90s. I kinda aged out of concerts about that time, but I stg if Johnson tours with them again, I will go just one last time.

Fucking epic. When this video was getting airtime on MTV, it was THE song I was always hoping for. You just had to wait and wait for it. But when those opening notes played over that dark stage, you knew it was on. Huge sound, and it also set the standard for stagecraft--the cannon, those lights--the best. All for a rock anthem that tops them all. And I didn't appreciate it much at the time, but this video was rare in the early video age for actually being a live performance. Most bands who showed "live" were just dubbing in the studio (e.g. Paradise City)

[@vej48]

Damn....look at the bloody intensity of both Young brothers.....

[@fenderfunk]

Check out at 3:24 - wow, the camera shakes when that first cannon fires off. And the band played to that every night!

[@waynebradley75]

Fender Funk no wonder Brian lost his hearing

[@MisterSwagify]

@@waynebradley75 Brian lost much of his hearing from a racing mishap, actually. Touring afterward just made it worse. He's gotten it under control now, though. Also, the camera shake was done manually for added effect. The cannons aren't actually firing; it's pretty much just fireworks. Real cannon fire would cause permanent hearing loss for much of the crowd in the pit as well.

[@x8nis]

@@MisterSwagify they used actual gun powder for the cannons, but no cannon balls however.

[@Simmo_Cars]

@@MisterSwagifydidn’t they use real cannons at the Donington 1991 Monsters of rock show? I read it in the description

[@rodmcdonough6111]

I dont know how Angus can play the stuff that makes him THE BEST lead guitarist on Earth while his body moves up and down in a way that doesn't synch with what he is playing. His talent is beyond human and isnt distracted by the opposite universe that rules his movements. Angus is here and does this for a reason, which I guess is to show that whatever made him this way happened only with him. We are insanely lucky to be here while Angus rocks the planet

[@barbarino2000]

I remember AC-DC ruled hard rock in the early 80s. This video helped their cause. Minds were blown at the end. SHOOT! SHOOT!

Loudest band I've ever heard in my life in over 30 years of concerts. Saw them at least 8 times in their 80's heyday. It's no wonder poor Brian Johnson is near deaf.

[@Mick0722MX]

You know, it's kinda strange. I remember when the album came out in 81, and I also remember seeing this exact video on MTV in 1982. I also remember Phil Rudd exiting the band halfway through the Flick of the Switch album to be replaced by Simon Wright. However, the drummer in this video looks more like Simon Wright than Phil Rudd. Strange.
