First Time Reaction | AC/DC - Hells Bells (Official Video) - I NEED TO HEAR MORE!

[@addicted2chaos]

You pretty much described my teenage years perfectly. I remember cruising down the streets in my 81 firebird with the Windows down , long hair and blaring this song as loud as my radio would go.

[@hd9700]

My ‘69 Firebird filled to the brim with friends

[@tinamakaneole]

My first Camaro, taking it downtown for every Rock band that came through Indy. Looking at all the LONG haired guys 😊❤.

[@starlawilson9011]

You just described every guy I dated in high school!! Lol

[@sjoekiloeki]

I was 9 so no driving around with AC/DC or Iron Maiden in those days for me but I can do that now of course( and already did the past few years).

[@starlawilson9011]

Back in Black as an album is one of the greatest albums ever! Every song is a banger!!

[@ErinSantos-s2w]

I’m now 57 years old and grew up listening to this! So when you see us old ladies remember, this is the music we listened to!!

[@myownchannel247]

Angus Young on lead guitar actually wears a school uniform because when he was a kid in Australia he would head straight for his guitar after school, no time for changing 🎸🔔🔥

[@sparkypete3417]

His sister did tell Angus to stay wearing his uniform.....even when he started playing full time with the band!.

[@madladnate]

ACDC High Voltage, Its a long way to the top. Best Bagpipes in a great hard rock song EVER.

[@robberrie677]

If you like Bagpipes rock... Bags of rock was a great band...

[@stanleymyrick4068]

The video where they are doing the Australian version of American Bandstand and the girls dancing around them is maybe one of the best videos on youtube. Prefer it over the one where they are on the back of the truck by quite a bit. It's been remastered now, and the video is called "It's a Long way to the Top" Promo Clip

[@devildoc4257]

Heatseeker is a banger

[@elizabethrichards9152]

If you are watching long way to the top you need to watch the Bon Scott video. He is the original lead singer and he is playing the bagpipes.

As long as the Bon Scott stuff is with Bon Scott!! Love Brian, but not a fan of him singing Bon's stuff.

[@theeteecee]

Yes!! Dirty Deeds. Can I sit next to you girl. Just AC/DC in general. Can't get better than this

[@Whip-It_2014]

Dirty deeds for sure!!!

[@GoWestYoungMan]

I grew up in this era. We didn't take the music and culture for granted but it never occurred to us that it wouldn't last forever. In hindsight, this was the tail end of a multi-decade long era; a golden era in music 1940-1990. We knew music would change but thought it would just morph into something equally good ..... but it didn't. I feel very fortunate to have come of age in the 70s/80s.

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

Same 💯 ✌❤

[@thesteadingoffranya4423]

well said dude I agree completely

[@emptyemptiness8372]

What great music came out in 1940....what great powerful music came out before rock n roll? If you said 55-90 I would buy it but music was shit before rock n roll

[@stevegraham3817]

@@emptyemptiness8372 The mid 40s is when the real/original R&B music started to get converted to rock with heavier sustained notes and bent strings by the likes of Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, and BB King, as the Boogie Woogies, B Bops, Gospel and Blue Grass was getting pushed aside in New Orleans, the mid 40s to mid 50s were more of a Rocking Blues era. Not exactly Rock, not exactly Blues. I would start Rock and Roll a couple of years earlier in the 50s, and add a couple of extra years in the 90s until it briefly changed to Grunge which only lasted 5 years and completely destroyed R&R as we loved it and for some strange reason it completely disappeared for the last 20 years, somehow replaced by Swift, Miley, Kylie, Diddy, M&M, Bieber, and all sorts of other manufactured no talent rubbish. Thank god Rock is being rediscovered, but will it ever go back to the glory days? I really hope it does.

[@barrydunn682]

First rule of AC/DC - never, never, never interrupt an Angus Young guitar solo.

[@mikefetterman6782]

THE WHOLE ALBUM IS BANGER< BANGER

[@danno7583]

If you listen to the whole album, your hair will grow longer and you just randomly flip off people that listen to pop. You just lose control of certain things.😊

[@ConspiracySmurf]

lmao

[@mistyvanpelt2408]

😂😂😂😂

[@mikefetterman6782]

Whenever I am feeling depressed, run down, incompetent, ect.......This album will rise you up. Make you feel better, make you walk and talk better, make you shoot pool better, and make the drive better. Just so many betters,....you have no choice but to rock you head, tap your foot, and feel that combination of Young, Rudd and Williams run down your spine. It is naturally invigorating and inspiring. A true tribute to Bon.

[@bondservantstodola]

In our day, it wasn't a party unless ACDC was playing

[@IvIidnight]

Back in Black

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

The one thing that people either don't know or frequently forget is that AC/DC is, like Aerosmith, a blues band. Yeah, they've got everything cranked up to 15, the drums hit harder, the guitars scream louder, and there's more gravel in the singer's voice (regardless of which singer it is), but music is just down and dirty, nitty gritty blues.

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

AC/DC is Rock Legends. Angus could play the guitar falling down stairs and Brian sounds like he gurgles motoroil before bed! -Try reacting to Airbourne from Australia aswell if you wanna see something similar but a bit faster paced. They are ready to carry the torch when AC/DC closes the show.

[@randywissler9923]

Or Rhino Bucket!! Their songs One night stand and Train Ride are heavily AC/DC influenced and absolute bangers!!

[@leannlaplante3643]

Skipped school to go to my friend's house to listen to this album, Back in Black. No way would my parents allow me to own an AC/DC album. I've never regretted that day. So pleased you wish music like this was still being made today.

[@shawn5928]

The song Back In Black is basically Gangsta Rock. For real. Every song on the album is a banger, every single one!

[@lisac.4094]

ACDC Big Balls!

[@barbarella9317]

Lol 🤣 I love that song ❤

[@amberlopez7477]

Beating around the bush.

[@raine_wynd]

Saw AC/DC perform in St. Petersburg, FL in the late '90s. They not only had a real church bell for this song, but pirate-era cannons for "For Those About to Rock". Everything they did live was real, nothing synthesized. Great reaction!

[@strayling1]

The gradual increase in tempo is what makes the song for me. It's like each member of the band eases into the song and the band comes together as the music gets faster.

[@patchesblue155]

Possibly the best Aussie band ever!!

[@jeffreyarmstrong700]

For those about to rock (we salute you) I'm an 85 baby, so I never saw this live, but my parents told me stories about them using cannons in their performances for this song....wild...and a great song

[@michellehunter5745]

I was at a concert where they used the cannons and it was loud as hell but AWESOME!!!!!

[@mfo5939]

Saw them in Frankfurt Germany in 1985... one of the cannons started a small fire, but nothing came of it. Seen the many times over the years. still have my ticket stubb from the Back in Black tour, saw them in Boston. All my 3 girls are AC/DCers. They never had a choice.

[@kenthibert435]

Cannons used for those about to rock....I couldn't hear for three days.... I was eigth row centers...Maple leaf gardens

[@ilaril]

If not on video, listen to yourself AC/DC "Big Balls". There's a double for you. And that's still Bon Scott on lyrics. "Back in Black" was the first album since his death, so first for Brian on the vocals.

[@patchesblue155]

Song is absolutely hilarious!! Very coy...

[@joebright4607]

It was a 68 Chevy and yes cruising with this jamming did make you feel a certain kind of way.

[@queryalways]

I'm an Aussie, born & raised on this music, I'm eternally grateful that my folks never gave into "music bad" hype that hit the 80's. They loved rock, they loved Aussie Rock more and I grew up listening to all of it; music will never be the same.

[@korealis0016]

me to, every weekend parents listened to AC/DC, Guns N roses, Queen

[@carolburnett190]

Back in Black and Dirty Deeds

[@RocknRolla2023]

My daughter says the same thing she was born in the wrong era. She was born 94. I was in my 20’s in the 80’s and we had killer music.

[@ellesee7079]

Time for a chat with your dad, Cliff! I'm sure he could point you to some great bands and music. So glad your giving the music that charted my youth a listen. Just hits so different!

🎸🎸ACDC🎸🎸

[@lynndally9160]

AC/DC - One of the best bands to come out of Australia 🇦🇺. Whole Lotta Rosie from the 2009 Riverplate concert. I really think you'd love that one...😂

[@haydendegrow945]

The bell that they ordered for the tour of this album, Back in Black, is a fittingly sized 13 ton church bell made especially for them by bell-makers in London, England. The bell is the largest musical instrument ever used in a rock concert, and has become a staple and icon of the AC/DC tour. The bell rings an iconic 13 times in the song, with the feeling of the song meant as a hard rock send off for their lost brother Bon Scott. RIP Bon! Your music has NEVER died!

[@SWTSU]

I think 🤔 it’s time for you to hear the lads play a tune with Bon Scott as the lead singer!!! Brian Johnson replaced Bon after his sudden death. “It’s called “A Touch To Much“ Official Video. You will get a kick out of Bon and his song writing. Outstanding penmanship!!! So says Austin Tx. 🎸🎸😎🍸

[@beckyleavitt7808]

Cliff, "Big Balls" is goofy but it's hilarious lol. #acdc

[@MartinMaxFerdinand]

"For those about to rock (we salute you)" live - from the 2009 concert is an excellent choice.

[@guccigasbag2780]

Yes that’s an awesome one 🎉

[@claimguy]

This gets EVERYONE jacked up, whether they admit it or not. Best hype music ever.

[@melliemel151]

AC/DC’s beloved lead singer, Bon Scott, had recently died, and they almost quit. However, they brought In Brian Johnson and came out with Hells Bells, a tribute to their friend, Ronald Belford Scott, taken way too soon. You should check out Bon’s AC/DC next-Highway to Hell is full of bangers. The first time I heard them, I was 15, hearing “Girl’s Got Rhythm” at the local roller skating rink. That would be a great one to start with.

[@mpierce3]

welcome to our childhood and welcome to the AC/DC Rabbit hole!!! enjoy the trip Whole lotta of Rosie live a river plate 2009 is definitely worth the time

[@carlofirpo3006]

Glad to see the younger generations appreciating the great musicians of my era.

[@TheWheels86]

It's a long way to the top (if you wanna rock N roll) is my favorite ACDC song

[@CoronaMechanics88]

In 1980, I was 18 in growing up in Southern California driving a blue 1970 Ford Torino GT with a 351 Cleveland, cowl induction, Holley 4 barrel, police suspension, etc. with the music of time blowing out my Jensen speakers…life was good…respect…

[@DavidBarton-f7x]

Seen them live black in black tour... amazing

[@fionahalton3911]

My daughter learnt to headbang at 6mths from me listening to accadacca ,rock on Perth Australia 🤟🇦🇺

[@scottclark3761]

ACDC played with very little distortion, so it sounded good on any sound system....so it got cranked constantly. And yes, Firebirds were everywhere. Trans Ams and Camaros. This music was blared out in every parking lot. The school, the mall, the gas stations.....it was hang out music.

[@Ph8rus]

Haha. 1983 in a restored 1965 Mercury Comet, glasspacks, split exhaust, rolling into the high school parking lot or cruising the boulevard. AC/DC Back in Black was our school song. It even sounded bada$$ when the HS band played it (electric guitar accompanying). Completely different world.

[@liljj90]

AC/DC ❤💪

[@IamGrootOG]

U need to hear Bon Scott, he was original lead singer but passed away. Dirty Deeds, For Those About to Rock, TNT are personal favorites

[@patchesblue155]

I would kill to see your reaction to "Big Balls"!

[@lavendergal2508]

One of my all-time favorite songs. I’m 60 years old and still jam out to this. When I’m driving my truck, I turn it all the way up and I love it. The two guys wearing the hats are brothers.

[@tdswartz96]

Yeah definitely do the album! 😎

[@hungfao]

I saw these guys rehearse back in the day. One of the tightest bands I've ever witnessed. I learned to play guitar back in the 80s thanks to Angus and Mal (RIP). You can't really go wrong with these guys. Hard rock! This is all they do. Should add, considering the depth of their catalog, also the most consistent band ever.

[@carmenhuyser808]

Love how you are going back to classics 🎉❤

[@MattBirch1991]

AC/DC just go through their best songs, you’ll love it no matter what

[@clasmaster1471]

You absolutely nailed the feeling of the song with the Camaro or Firebird and the Jean jacket or the leather jacket just giving it hell flying not giving a shit about anything ready for anything. It was such a time and feeling of freedom. Go out cruise around and smoke a joint to this Andreas jam! Life was good!

[@Niphredil02]

Yes , More Please 😁 "Back in Black" & "Big Balls" .... Much love to ya ❤

[@coreyvegar9152]

AC/DC never fails to perk me up, they are my favourite rock band, must be because I'm an Aussie, but yeah I love AC/DC.

[@EdwardMann]

I'm 64yrs old! I look at music since 1990 shake my head and say WTF Happened? It looks like a whole generation lowered the bar and never came back.

[@mattbrattensborg7785]

Quicksand Jesus-Skid Row Uncle Toms Cabin-Warrant 🤘 you won't be disappointed

[@clasmaster1471]

Seen them multiple times in concert.

[@clasmaster1471]

What you described about driving to and from school jamming this is exactly what I did with me and my friends and especially junior year went to JVS and I drove a 63 Ford galaxy that we’ll see about 14 comfortably. We would burn down all the way to school. I got kicked out twice that year. Ended up going back to my home school the next year but we listen to a lot of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and Boston and we had a good time, my mom wasn’t very happy with me during those days but I was having a good time. Thank God my son didn’t grow up like me.

[@clasmaster1471]

That my friend is pure rock ‘n’ roll! This is the stuff that blows the speakers in your car!

[@brandonseyfried1251]

Dude, I saw them for the first time in 1987 at the Capital Centre outside Washington DC. The whole joint went pitch black for a few seconds, and then all you heard was.... BONG.............. BONG............. and then this plexiglas tube filled with yellow lit-up smoke had come up out of the front of the stage. The giant cast iron Hell's Bell came rising up through the tube. At that moment I became a lifetime hardcore fan of The Boys. I saw them a few years later with my best friend at the Garden State Arts Center in NJ. As they always do, they closed the show with For Those About To Rock. At the guitar solo in the middle, these 3 giant battleship guns rose out of the front of the stage and angled out over the crowd. It got to the moment where it gets to "FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK......" with Brian Johnson singing...... ......FIRE! and these 3 guns go off with a flash, smoke rings, and a shock wave that knocked the whole crowd a step back. I ain't never seen anything it before that or since. Good times.

[@kevinchalk9481]

Anything from River Plate is a must-watch. The crowd shots are insane. Besides the usual suggestions below, you'll love "Whole Lotta Rosie". Welcome to our era of music - it cannot be topped. Great reaction!

[@tandaknights9047]

This reminds me of high school with friends cruising in a friends camaro or other late 60s car listening to AC/DC, Cheap Trick, Styxx passing a left hander or pipe around.

[@JerryRoppe]

Back in Black is definitely an AMAZING album start to finish. Turn it up to 11 and let it rip until the end. No weak tracks. This came out when I was a freshman in high school and I listened to it at least once every day for a year. I can't even count the number of times I have listened to this album in my life. Pushing 60 and I still pop the CD in the car crank it and rock out just like 40 years ago and maybe rock out a couple tickets too much. ACDC is nothin fancy, just straight forward rock and roll at it's best.
