Many people still have yet to realize just how great a guitarist Angus really is, nevermind Malcolm as a monster rhythm guitarist.

Angus is good - he rips a mean pentatonic scale. But Malcolm was a far better guitarist, Angus has admitted that numerous times in interviews. He just quietly did his thing in the background, kept the engine running smoothly along with Phil and Cliff..... 😉

Angus actually PICKS every note of the thunderstruck lick, most of us can only play it at that speed with pull-offs.

First time I heard Thunderstruck was on AFN radio in Butzbach Germany 1990 and I have listened to it pretty much everyday day since, its such an uplifter!!

Odd how Mike says the main lick came later, whereas Ang said it was part of the song since the beginning when he composed it with Mal.

How can Mike say there wasn't anything unusual in the mix? Thunderstruck has very specific mixing decisions, the subtle reverb on Angus' main riff, and especially the way he mixed Brian very dry and then added unusual gate reverb to his voice as the song progressed. And then the big reverbs on the drums at certain points. Really cool comments about Brian later on.

And A LOT of backing vocals. For AC/DC track, it is very produced. Don't get me wrong, I live for this band, every songs they bring it to the next level live, it's their thing, it has to be this way! ..except for this one;) So so hard to get it right

Nice video, but just btw David Mallet isn't French... his last name is pronounced like "mallet" (like a hammer). I know this because I am a fan of his director style... he's done Pink Floyd as well. But good video definitely. 👍🎶

Always thought fairbairns production on this record was heavy handed.. the intro lick running the whole tune, the open chords Angus plays on the verse dont ring out naturally they stay the same volume as when he first hits them its a very unnatural sounding sustain and the drums sound super stiff and compressed to death, its like they were programmed .. coolest part of this song is Malcolm's hybrid picking peddle toneish rhythm part this tune always sounds better live than the studio take
