AC/DC – Shoot to Thrill


This is a live performance by the Australian rock band AC/DC playing the song “Shoot to Thrill” live. The performance is from the 1991 gig AC/DC played at Donington.
The song first appeared on the band’s 1980 “Back in Black” album. The song also appears on “AC/DC Live” and on the “Iron Man 2” soundtrack. The song is credited to: Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Brian Johnson.
It’s a great song and a great performance. I love how it throws in the Hendrix chord right before the chorus, great idea that adds variety to the sound of the song. It’s also a great showcase for Angus Young who delivers an amazing rock ‘n’ roll guitar solo for this one. Truly a great performance of an amazing song.

Enjoy ; )

AC/DC - Thunderstruck


This is a live performance by Australian hard rock band AC/DC playing their classic and infamous song "Thunderstruck". The performance is from their 2009 concert at River Plate which was released on Blu-ray and DVD in 2011. The concert was part of the band's tour for their "Black Ice" album.
The song "Thunderstruck" was originally released in 1990 on the album "Razor's Edge". The song is built up around a riff by Angus Young which sounds like fast tapping, but is in fact very fast picking instead. It sounds awesome!
It's a great song and exactly what hard rock is supposed to be!

Enjoy ; )

AC/DC - Stiff Upper Lip


This is a live performance by Australian rock band AC/DC playing the song "Stiff Upper Lip" live in concert.
The song appears on the band's 2000 album "Stiff Upper Lip" so it's the title track from that album. It was composed by Malcolm and Angus Young and was the first single from the album.
I really love the riff in this song. It's so simple, but so good at the same time. A truly magnificent riff composed by the Young brothers. Good old school rock 'n' roll, simple as that and it rocks!

Enjoy ; )

AC/DC – Whole Lotta Rosie


This is a live performance by Australian hard rock/ rock ‘n’ roll band AC/DC performing their classic song “Whole Lotta Rosie”. The performance is from 1977.
The song originally appeared on the band’s fourth Australian release “Let There Be Rock” released in Australia in 1977.
The song was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott. The lyrics are about Bon Scott’s on experience with a heavy set woman. This woman has never been identified though.
The song has become very popular and the band often plays it live. It has also appeared on every official live album released by the band. Also in versions sung by Brain Johnson. When they play the song live today it is usually accompanied by a huge blowup version of Rosie as a stage effect.
The song is very popular and has been played live by a lot of bands, bands like: Anthrax, Airborne and Guns N’ Roses.
It’s a great song and a really good performance by the guys.

Enjoy ;-)

AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long


This is a live performance from Australian hard rock/rock 'n' roll group AC/DC playing their classic song "You Shook Me All Night Long". The performance is from 1991.
The song is one of the band's signature songs and it's from their most successful 1980 "Back in Black" album. The title of the song comes from a Muddy Waters song with the title "You Shook Me" in which the line "you shook me all night long" appears. The song is also very popular at live gigs where it's very rarely excluded from the set list.
It's a very good song and I always love watching AC/DC live. I love how the sound just blasts to another level when Malcolm and Angus play the rhythm part together. Also the solo Angus does, it's him at his best, his rock 'n' roll influenced best.

Enjoy ; )

AC/DC - Highway to Hell


This is a live performance from 2010 by Australian hard rock band AC/DC playing their classic song "Highway to Hell".
The song was originally released as a single in 1979 and is the opening track for the album of the same name. The main guitar riff was conceived by Angus Young and the song was written by Angus Young, Bon Scott and Malcolm Young.
The origin of the lyrics were an interview where Angus kiddingly stated that being constantly on tour is like "a fucking highway to hell".
It is undeniably one of the most iconic and best hard rock songs in history, and I think this live performance is impressive. The guys might be getting older, but they sure as hell still rock the stage and give one hell of an energetic performance. A great song, and a great performance.

Enjoy ; )
