Back in Black is an album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the seventh Australian and sixth internationally released studio album by the band. Released on 25 July 1980, Back in Black was the first AC/DC album recorded without former lead singer Bon Scott, who died on 19 February at the age of 33, and was dedicated to him.

Brian Johnson made quite a statement with this song, quickly endearing himself to AC/DC fans and leaving little doubt that the band made the right pick to replace Bon Scott. Johnson had been in a group called Geordie, which Scott saw in 1973. After that show, Scott talked up the Geordie lead singer to his bandmates, and in 1980 when they were looking for a replacement, AC/DC's producer Mutt Lange suggested him. At the time, Johnson was working as a windshield fitter and had recently reunited Geordie. The album had a black cover with the band's logo on it, which was a tribute to Bon Scott. They didn't want it to feel mournful, however, and needed a title track that captured the essence of their fallen friend.

They were certainly not going to do a ballad, so it fell on Brian Johnson to write a lyric that would rock, but also celebrate Scott without being morbid or literal. Johnson says he wrote 'Whatever came into my head,' which at the time he thought was nonsense. To the contrary, lines about abusing his nine lives and beating the rap summed up Scott perfectly, and his new bandmates loved it. This song was recorded in The Bahamas and produced in New York by Mutt Lange. Back In Black was one of the first big albums Lange produced. He went on to work with Def Leppard, Celine Dion, and Shania Twain (who he married in 1993). In the late-'70s, he produced two albums for the band Clover, which featured Huey Lewis on harmonica and Alex Call on lead vocals.
Call explains Lange's production style: 'Mutt is a real studio rat. Endurance in the studio. When we were making the records with him, he'd start working at 10:30, 11 in the morning and go until 3 at night, night after night. He is one of the guys that really developed that whole multi-multi-multi track recording. We'd do 8 tracks of background vocals going, 'Oooooh' and bounce those down to one track and then do another 8, he was doing a lot of that. A lot of the things you hear on Def Leppard and that kind of stuff, he was developing that when he worked with us.
We were the last record he did that wasn't enormous, and that's not his fault, he did a really good job with us. Mutt is famous for working long hours. The story I heard about one of the Shania sessions, he had Rob Hajakos, who's one of the famous fiddle session men down here (Nashville). Rob was playing violin parts for like seven or eight hours and finally he said, 'Can I take a break,' and Mutt says, 'What do you mean take a break?' Rob goes, 'Have you ever held one of these for eight hours under your chin?' Mutt really loves to record, he loves music and he's a real perfectionist and an innovator. An unbelievable commercial hook writer.'

I hear bon big time on thunderstruck as well. Adam from Gowen, MiBest AC/DC song of all time - and they have LOTS of great ones. I hear this song and it transports me back to late night beer parties circa 1988. I still have this song as my ring tone. Brandon from Mckinney, TxI been all over the internet looking for Bon Scott version of Back N Black, every song I find is not bon scott on the recording send me a link or mp3 if some one has it. Keep Rockin Thanks.
Danny from Your Town, IaThe Iowa Hawkeyes use this as the opening of each football game along with Paint It Black. The black and gold Hawkeyes come out from the locker-room tunnel and onto the field as the song plays and pictures of them walking down the tunnel play on the jumbotron. One of the best entrances in college football. Zero from Nowhere, NjAlex, Helena, MT, wrong song! Haha, anyway, great song, synonymous with classic rock.
And Wayne, Angus does not use a violin bow anywhere in this song, sorry. Alyx from Helena, MtThis song was written by Brian Johnson in the Bahamas. A typhoon was headed their way, and the rest of the band locked him in the bungalo with only 3 pages of blank paper, a pencil, and a candle. He was shaking and nervous becuase he wanted to impress his new band, but he managed 'im rollin' thunder pourin' rain, im comin' on like a hurricane.' , thus the typhoon.
This was also in memory of Bon Scott, who died about a month earlier. Wayne from Croydon, United KingdomMy friend thinks that Angus uses a violin bow on his guitar a la Jimmy Page during this song.Does anyone know if this is true?. John from Maryborough, AustraliaI have a 1998 rolling stone magazine with an interview with angus young, on page 90. Question to angus from rolling stone magazine- ' have you ever thought about quitting?' Angus replies 'the only time was when bon scott died.
We were in doubt about what to do but we had songs that he had written and we wanted to finish the songs. We thought it would be our tribute to bon and that album became Back in Black'.( my view ) I have listened to the so called bon scott version of back in black and wished so much it was him because i have been searching for so long for a recording of bon of a song off back in black, I am unconvinced it is his voice it sounds more like to me that it is early pre recordings or shows of AC/DC with brian johnson singing a bon scott song. Daniel Adams from Northumberland, PaThis the the best AC/DC song on AC/DC's best album!. Andrew from Kilcoy, AustraliaMalcolm Young had the opening riff on a tape recorder and almost threw it out because he thought it sounded too heavy but Angus told him to keep it. Jw from New York, NyBon was a crazy genuis allowed to be free in the same model as Robert Johnson, He was without a doubt one of if not thee monstors of metal anyone that heard his early songs knew that he would follow in the footsteps of greatness along the line of Hendrix.
Fighting over who recorded what is an insult to Bon he found Johnson and told the band in advance. If anything happens to me call him, think about it he knew in his own way to find the next him. His was a gift to do in a crazy way excatly what he needed to do. 30 years later we still speak about him with revernce as we should. Rickylsd from Santa Ana, Cathis song has such a badass tune. Spiro from Bethlehem, Pais there any truth that Bonn Scott wrote alot of lyrics for the the Back In Black Album?? I know the band was preparing to go back into the studio in March 1980 to start recording their 7th album.
James from Ottawa, OnAccording to the biography of Bon Scott, called Highway to Hell, Bon wrote the majority of the lyrics for the entire album, but wanting a fresh start, Malcolm Young decided to credit Brian Johnson for the words. Matt from Oakdale, Ny'Back in Black' was also featured in the opening scene to the 2008 Marvel film, 'Iron Man'.
Garrett from Cookeville, TnAC/DC!!!!! I played like five of their songs at different recitals!!! Gibson sg's are the best i have a red one! Anyway their freakin awsome!!. Luke from Manchester, England'Brian Johnson is a good singer.
He is also Scottish like the Young brothers.' - Shaun, Glasgow No he's not. He from Dunston in Gateshead, North, East of England. BON SCOTT'S Scottish, his nickname was Bon because it's scottish for small and happy, which Bon was. Steven from Shepparton, AustraliaThe best ac/dc song easy, one of best guitar riffs of al time.
Briar from Hazard, KyPretty good tune. Hayseed Dixie does really good covers of Ac/Dc songs.
Julio from Mexico, MexicoLatin Singer Shakira covered this song for her Live And Off The Record DVD. Joshua from La Crosse, WiThis song is featured prominently in the opening scene of the 2008 movie Iron Man. Sarah from La, CaLove this song!!!!
It is played on my favorite show Supernatural!!!. Bess from San Diego, CaOne of my favorite AC/DC songs. How do you make a page for a song? We need 'Rock N' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution.' That's my absolute favorite. Phoenix from Jacksonville, FlI, personally, must say that I prefer Brian Johnson as the lead singer.
However, Bon Scott must'e been a pretty d. good singer to have this awesome song written about him.
Natascha from Johanesburg, South AfricaLove the Song one of my favourites!. Nathan from Vicksburg, MsMy friend Chris said that he wants to have this song played at his funeral, and have his casket lowered into the ground right as it says 'forget the herse 'cause I'll never die'. Chris from Paso Robles, CaI love this song with all my heart but do I not wish to see this piece of rock history turned in to ground beef just to be consumed by the mass market by making it a guitar hero song.
Love you Bon hope you're still party hard. Dylan from Branson, MoGibson has an SG out that is called the Angus Young Series and It's awsome but $2,000. Selina from Perth, AustraliaOh, and by the way, I'm sure if that was Bon or Brian singing on the so-called 'original version' (Jackyl's version), he would've at least got the right words for starters, and if it was AC/DC then Malcolm would've been playing his rythm guitar part and his Gretsch does not sound like that anyway, and that is definitley not Phil's laid-back approach style on the kit. Selina from Perth, AustraliaThe WHOLE Back in Black album is a tribute to Bon, not just the song, 'Back in Black'. The bells at the start of 'Hell's Bells' start off the tribute as a quiet respect to the legend himself, 'Back in Black' obviously contributing to the larger part of the tribute, and 'Have a Drink on Me'- just adding to Bon's drinking themes, and of course the humourous and sexual ideas coming from 'Givin the Dog a Bone', 'Let Me Put My Love Into You', and 'You Shook Me All Night Long', and finishing off with a nice, rythmic 'in ya face' ode to Rock 'n' Roll in 'Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution'. The box set Bonfire was also a tribute as Bon had once said, half in jest, that if he ever released a solo album he'd call it Bonfire, so thats why there are included unreleased/rare tracks in that set- another tribute. And yes, Malcolm solos on the original recoroding of Can I Sit Next To You, Girl (with Dave Evans), Soul Stripper (Aus.
Release High Voltage),Show Business (Aus. Release High Voltage), You Ain't Got A Hold On Me (Aus. Release High Voltage) and Hold Me Back (Stiff Upper Lip).:). Dwayne from Wooster, OhMYTH: The Bon Scott versions of 'Back in Black' found on Limewire are mislabeled and are actually tribute and cover versions. One is from the 'Thunderbolt' tribute album (which rocks), and the 'demo' version is Jackyl. Both sound a lot like Bon but they aren't.
Bon has never sang or even heard the song. Craig from Melbourne, AustraliaI have a bootleg version sung by Bon Scott. Randell from Sydney, AustraliaThis is my favourite AC/DC song ever!AC/DC Rocks!!. Tony from St Louis, Mohave a drink on me was a tribute to bon scott. Tony from St Louis, Moif you have limewire you can download a version of back in black with bon scott singing.it is not a tribute to scott seeing that he helped write it. Dep from St Paul, MnThat is NOT Bon Scott singing, nor is it Jackyl.
Go to Joe Lynn Turner's (70's obscure rocker, voice for Deep Purple, others) website. It's HIM singing on the 'Thunderbolt' Tribute album to AC/DC, along with other artists doing other songs. Any fan of AC/DC can listen and tell in the first 10 seconds that it's not AC/DC.
But JLT's voice is VERY much like Bon Scott's. Michelle from Maplewood, MnGreat song i love it and it is # 4 on VH1's Metal song countdown. Damian from Taichung, Taiwanto the geezer who said Malcolm can't solo, listen to soul stripper, that's Malcolm playing lead.
To the poor saps who are convinced that Bon is singing Back in Black, listen again, there is no way that is Angus playing guitar and or Rudd playing drums, it kinda sounds like Bon i suppose but not much. Ryan from Cleveland, OhDear atsve of Cairns, Australia you will never find it, and if you do it is fake of course.
Back in Black is a tribute to Bon and also to welcome in Johnson and show that AC/DC would continue on even if they lost Bon. Bon was not alive when the song was written, thank you and good night. Atsve from Cairns, AustraliaDoes anyone know where I can find this audio clip with Bon Scott supposedly singing Back in Black?. Atsve from Cairns, AustraliaBon Scott and Brian Johnson are amazing in different ways but overall Bon Scott was better. Brian Johnson had stronger vocals whereas Bon Scott had strong but not as strong vocals.
Bon Scott has got everything else, he has good, strong vocals, looks like a tough frontman and has incredible stage persona. Brian Johnson looks like he is always constipated or something and sometimes when they do live shows his voice is so warn out that it sounds like he has to struggle just to hit easy sounds. But anyway this songs is awesome and has some of the best guitar ever. Travis from Bluff City, TnI don't care what any one says, but there is no freakin way even possible that you could even say that Bon Scott sang Back In Black. God that pisses me off to even hear someone say that.
The reason why??? It was written about him.
It was a Tribute to Him. It was possible for him to ever sing it before he died! He Died ON February 19th, 1980.
Back in Black was Wrote IN April-May of 1980. It took them roughly a month to find Brian Johnson then they automatically started writting Back In Black. So How The F. is it even possible that Bon could have sang it. Now., the version of the song that every one keeps talking about saying is Bon's, is actually performed by the awesome band that actually started in the 80's is JACKYL!!!!! NOT BON SCOTT!!!!!!
So for those that have just read this, thank you for your time! I have have enjoyed further Informing you all!!!!. Scott from Huntsville, CanadaBon Scott Did write and completed a studio version of 'Back in Black' I have the master CD single and I will upload and send it to anyone who doubts these facts. It was the last song he completed according to Angus Young. So I am confident about what voice analysis software you use because it is Bon Scott!!!!. Larry from Knoxville, TnWith the exception of Highway To Hell, Bon Scott's songs aren't as good as Brian Johnson.
They're both great though. Stephanie from Stratford, CtAC/DC rules!!!! Bon Scott was great (RIP), but I like Brian Johnson better.
Angus Young kicks ass!!! For those about to rock, we salute you!!!!.
Shaun from GlasgowBrian Johnson is a good singer. He is also Scottish like the Young brothers.
Joel from Columbia, ScAh thenk Back in Black is a good song. It probably is a tribute to the late Bon Scott. Not really much of an AC/DC fan anymore but I do have to admit they were/are an awesome band. Paul from Houston, TxThe song IS a tribute to Bon Scott, the lyrics were not written by Bon Scott. Please read mroe on AC/DC, the only thing that Bon contributed to Back in Black was a few drum fills during rehearsals (he was originally a drummer) and he had written lyrics that were never recorded; he died soon before they were set to record the vocal sections of the songs. I have heard different cover versions and you can tell on the covers that it is not Angus' or Malcolm's guitar playing as it is much more technical. It is probably the Jackyl versiion and I have also heard that Yngwie Malmsteen has covered the song.
Jordan from Edmonton, CanadaThe actual 'Tribute' is having the cover of the album Black and Having the Bands Logo engraved in it. Aside from that I would consider Have a Drink On Me more of a tribute to Bon Scott, considering the circumstances on how he lived and died. Tom from Richmond, MiThe song was a tribute to Bon Scott, Angus and Malcolm said it themselves!
It is one of the greatest rock songs ever and has that same timeless AC/DC quality. Tom from Seattle, WaI am listening to the download of the alleged Bonn Scott version of 'Back in Black' and it is a cover/tribute band.
Guitar sound in the solo is too new for 1982 or earlier, and the voice is not even close. Lisa from State College, Paif anyone can answer my question then go ahead WHY DIDNT MALCOM HAVE ANY SOLOS - evan, NO, LA Oh yeah and David Gilmour. Tony, Albany, NY First of all, Malcolm isn't even that great of a guitarist. He asked Angus to join the band because Angus had a natural gift for the guitar.
Also, Malcolm isn't a lead guitarist like guitar soloists are, he is a RHYTHM GUITARIST. That means that he just adds harmony that the already great songs don't really need but it makes them even better. Oh and about David Gilmour. David Gilmour is a great guitarist. He DID have solos. I know because I have played his solos before. And plus, what does David Gilmour have to do with AC/DC or even Back in Black?
He was a member of Pink Floyd not AC/DC. Oh and lastly about Ronald Belford (a.k.a. Bon Scott but I like Ronald Belford better).
He did not write Back in Black and had never met Brian Johnson except in a rumored spiritual visit from the grave. I thank Josh from Sunbury for writing that Jesse Dupree sang it. If Belford had written it then why would Johnson take credit for it?.
Gordon from Lake Havasu City, AzIt seems to me that many people don't know half as much about AC/DC as they think they do. For all you out there who think that Bon Scott was far superior to Brian Johnson, dig on this. Bon once actually saw Johnson perform with Geordie in the 70's in England and went and told the other members of AC/DC how awesome a singer he was. Both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson were and are incredible frontmen, just in different ways. I have beef with anybody who disrespects either one.
Hayden from Griffith, AustraliaThat fact that Brian was already offered Bon Scott's position is wrong. After Bon's death they held auditions and Brian was the last to try out. In fact he was mingling with the rest of AC/DC for so long that they had no idea why he was there. (This is backed up by an interview done with Malcom, Angus and Brian). And to answer your question Evan, Malcom was a heavy drinker and whenever he was asked if he got jealous of Angus taking the spotlight with his antics and solo's Malcom always said 'Angus, he can do whatever he wants.
You won't get me in those f.king shorts and solo's just get in the way of my drinking.' . Jack from Katy, TxBon Scott did not do a version of Back in Black. He died before he got into the studio to do the album. Even Malcom and Angus said he died before he worked on the album. And if you compare the vocals on the version that supposedly has Bon Scott singin to his other songs, you can tell its's not him.
Dalton from Columbus, United StatesOh, yeah I was looking I agree with Stephen. AC/DC's older work is awesome. 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' is my favorite song by them. Dalton from Columbus, United StatesOkay, let me show you guys what this song actually means. I have been reading all these posts about this song NOT being a tribute Bon Scott. I've seen people talking about Hell's Bells being the tribute. I don't know, but look: 'I've got nine live's cat's eyes, FORGET THE HEARSE CAUSE I NEVER DIE.'
Just think of it people the son's name is Back in Frickin' Black. Pako from Somwhereville, Gai'm not entirly sure why but some people get this song confused with HHWCID by led zeppelin.But on the plus side they did a great spot on the song for the black razor cell. Mike from Warwick, RiMy introduction to the world of hard rock. At 12, my buddy and I would stay out late shooting the basketball at the neighbors hoop listening to this album over and over.
We knew it was time to go in for the night when the neighbor came out and told us to go home. I know, a rather stupid comment, however, it brings me back to my childhood.great times!. Tom from Adelaide, AustraliaThis album was a gift to me and at first I didn't like it.Yurns out being on of their best. Saw the band live in Adelaide, Australia (they're a good Aussie band as you know!)circa 1984. There were about 5,000 people who didn't have tickets that bent the security fence over and swarmed across the field into the concert. An amazing sight to behold and one of the best concerts I have seen.
After almost 30 years they're still rocking! Tom, Adelaide, Australia. Myrna Maria from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, United StatesThis amazing AC DC classic, which my friends and I danced to in my parties at the very beginning of the 80´s; appears in one of the scenes of the superb TV series 'Supernatural' of the WB, when both stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are driving around in their awesome black Cadillac convertible. It gives that scene a lot of edge; well, anything by AC DC can do that. Deo from Annandale, VaR.I.P. Hunter from Evans, Gaok back in black was the track that was meant to be a tribute to bon. The lyrics, 'Nine lives' was a reference to how much he would go and party, and still be able to go out and sing.
'Hell's Bells' was meant to be somewhat of a 'for whom the bell tolls' type thing (saw it on a interview). Matthew from East Brunswick, NjTheir backing guitar riff is one of the best. That guitar riff is a staple to AC/DC rock.
Ac/dcmisfit from Millmerran, AustraliaThe riff is awesome. A riff that if you here the first few chords you go 'Turn it up!'
The vocals are powerhouse, it sounds like Brian Johnson gargles hot oil each morning, the solo memorable, one of Angus' finest, it slots in perfectly with the hard song. With the death of the late, great Bon Scott AC/DC chose the best vocalist to replace him.
One of their best songs. A great tribute to Bon. Chase from Sedona, AzMy opnion is, is that Hell's Bell's is dedicated to Bon Scott's death not Back In Black. Yes the song does refer 'cats eyes nine lives' but the whole overview of the song is really about Brian Joining the band. Ben from Nyc, MsAC/DC is one of the greatest hard rock Bands EVER!!!.
Evan from Porter, Inive heard this is about several things, like an ode to high record sales, because in the stock market, black means profit. But i heard from Brian Johnson and Angus Young in an interview (not personally) that its a tribute to Bon Scott.
The line 9 Lives, cats eye, is talking about Bon, because he lived on the edge for so long, and abused his life, running wild. Billy from Boston, MaThe Bevis and Butthead video with them singing the words to Back In Black is hilarious. The Darkness Rock from Millmerran, AustraliaOK.
AC/DC were my favourite band until I saw the Darkness. But this song rocks.
Malcolm when they were on The 'Highway to Hell' tour made this riff and put it on tape. He was actually going to throw it but Angus said 'if you don't want it I'll have it' and so Angus kept of course. Imagine if he hadn't. Angus said in a interview that he has never been able to play this riff the way it was on the tape. The riff was actually going to be the riff for have a drink on me when Bon was around. Jimmy from Margs, AustraliaAC/DC were at one of their highest points when Bon Scott died and to anyone the says AC/DC songs just sound the same then i think you should take your player off repeat coz theres no way they all sound the same if by sound the same you mean the dirty, rough, rock sound they produce then yes you are correct coz that is the sound of AC/DC dirty rough and mean. Mjmccoy from New York, AlWaterfly does a cover of this song and it's better than anythign i've herad.
SOmeone sign these young hot aussie grunge type rockers. They have a distinct Pearl Jam sound to them and will become one of the most influential bands of our century. Sign em up. Cathy from St. Louis, Mooops.sorry might help to give you my email address. [email protected] Hopefully this will settle any questions.
Cathy. Cathy from St. Louis, MoI have been reading the posts, and I have to tell you.Bon Scott DID a version of this song. I came across it very recently. I was surprised, but it is Back in Black, and it is Bon Scott.
Not sure if it was ever realeased. ANy doubters feel free to email me and I will send you the version. Or look it up on Limewire. Cathy Krege Mo. Jimmy from MargsOMFG Bon Scott DID NOT sing any version of this song. The actual riff was written while he was alive but no vocals were every written or recorded The song was actually writtn by Brian and teh Boys BELIEVE ME, IM A TRUE ACDC FAN The version that supposedly snds like Bon IS teh cover band although ive never heard it so i cant compare it to bons voice And whats with these people sayin its overated, its an excelent song.
Ed from Melbourne, AustraliaCan someone plz tell me what they think Bleedin by waterfly (www.myspace.com/waterfly1) is about. Just listen to it and while your at it maybe a few of the other songs. And if you know someone in the music industry it would be wise to get on board WATERFLY, because im telling you will make billions.
Stephen from Steamboat, CoThanks Rick from IA. But this song, for as much of a tribute to Bon Scott, is their most overrated song.
Everyone knows it because of the cords, like Stairway to heaven. Many people feel that they are AC/DC fans because they listen to this album, but remember that Bon Scott was the original, and if you listen to their older music with Bon, Including songs like Live Wire and Rocker, you would understand. Good song, but Definetly not thier best. Just keep it as a tribute to Bon, and thats why it is very good.
And they were working on this album when Bon Died, so the song became a tribue to him more than its real meanings, cause they changed the lyrics a bit. If you like this song, try others like The Jack (Original) or High Voltage, or even better, Highway to Hell with Bon singing. Those are the songs to listen to. Rick from Humboldt, Iahey norman in detroit, if you say that U2, Maroon 5 and AC/DC are bad then maybe you just don't like rock.
The only awful kinds of music are rap and country. Tom from BrisbaneThe Hives did a remake of this song. Not bad, for a Swedish band. Phil from Niagara Falls, Canadasong got me hooked up to ACDC, so did: TNT, Big Balls, Dirty Deeds, and then i discovered:hells bells and many others=D. Chase from Idaho Falls, IdHey! AC/DC is awesome and this is my favorite song of all time.
Their songs don't sound the same and you should feel bad for saying that! Have you ever listened to the rappers today, now that is the same song (no, talking to a beat) over and over AHHH!!! AC/DC is awesome and they should be praised!. Mleissa from Wasaga Beach, CanadaThis is one of my favourite AC/Dc songs. Im a figure skater and LOoove Ac/Dc and did an interpretive to this song. You should have seen the judges faces! And my competitiors, the pansies.
I wore the school suit and everything lol it was friggin awesome and worth a gold lol. I quit competing after that thought lol. Dan from Lee, NhNot to discredit AC/DC, but I think if it weren't for this opening riff I think AC/DC would not be nearly as big as they are, but th riff did come to being so we will never no. I Looooooooooooove Malcom. Ashley from Moncton, CanadaOnce I heard a song by Nelly or someone on the radio and it sampled this in the background, and I thought that was really stupid because the rap didn't seem to go equally with the song.
But what would you expect with a crapload of rap overtop a classic AC/DC song. Gino from Chicago, Ili dont like ac/dc but i like this song. Sanford from Garland, TxI think Highway to hell deserves recognition. Back in Black is great but it was the begining of there songs all sounding the same!!!!!. Matt from Millbrae, CaAC/DC is an awesome band.incredible music.but the lyrics are a little shallow don't you think? I guess that's not what they were about, and it worked fine. John Dough from Toronto, Canada'and there IS a demo vers of Bon singin this song dammit!
- frank, pittsburgh, PA ' If you took the time to read the facts, Sherlock, not a single recording of Bon singing Back in Black exists. Like everyone else said, you're hearing Jesse Dupree, or you're hearing nothing because you don't own it. Julie from Marquette, MiI SOO agree David in Hawley,PA. Their earlier stuff was incredible.this lp paled in comparison to many of their other works.
Cameron from Cairns, AustraliaIt is absolutely no way that there is a Bon Scott(R.I.P.) version. Bon had written about 15 songs for AC/DC's new album, but these were all abandoned, as the band felt it wouldn't be right to perform Bon's songs without the man himself. This song was written by Angus after, and I repeat, AFTER the death of Bon Scott. David Corino from Hawley, PaIn my opion Back in Black is HIGHLEY, HIGHLEY OVERRATED. Their is only 3 good song on the entire album, Back in Black, Hells Bells, and You Shook Me all night Long!
Also in my opion this is not the best brian johnson album, i think it is The Razors Edge. Besides, probley Let Their Be Rock is their best album. Obi-wan from Dominica, OtherBack in Black is also used in School of Rock. Cyd from Sin City, FinlandIt doesn't sound like Bon in the version on Back in Black. I don't believe its Bon singin' Back in Black- No. Jason from Holland, Mii have tken the time to compare back in black with bon scott and i compared his voice with on of his other songs and they are exactly alike there is no doubt about and then i compared the singer of jackyl and there is not a likeness.
Zain from Richmond, Canadasome songs shouldn't be touched. This is one of them.
All those who covered this song suck and they made a mess of the song. Dont cover classics. Cccc from Nice, Francethis song is taken from a tribute to ac/dc! I can't remember the name of the band 'cause there where many on this record but i'm sure about it as i had the record.
Guisseppe from Bradford Uk, EnglandI regularly listen to this track all the way through. I cant see what your getting at. Its an amazing album!!!.
Jack from St. Paul, MnAC/DC is great but all their songs start to sound the same after awhile.
Try listening to 'Back in Black' the album straight through. Dee from Indianapolis, InThis song just R-O-C-K-S!!!!! The opening chords always give me a natural high and make me thankful that there still is good music around worth cranking up. Mike from Detroit, Mii always thought this would go good with a the ending of a movie, like the ending of the usual suspects.only with explosions!. Jack from Birmingham, Englandbrain johnsons voice is brilliant, how does he do it cackling, screaming, then lightly lol i dunno. Steven from Congers, NyThe band Brian Johnson used to be in was called Geordie.
They are AWESOME.Listen to some of their stuff. Paul from Youngstown, OhWRONG:, Bon Scott Died right before the recording of the Back in Black Albulm,Bon died of heavy drinking, 'choking on his on Vomit'.Very good singer. Bon Scotts Voice isn't as 'Cloudy' and 'frogy as Brian Johnson's.
He dose have to scream to make a word. Though he says he smokes a ciggerate every time before a concert and probably During, I think Malcomb And Chris Willams are the only members that don't smoke. Back in Black has HIGH distortion levels because he's not doing solos, On concert he will put the distortion up high, so he can turn up/down the Volume.Not a matter in the studio.
Angus uses a different SG than in concert because of the fragleness of it. The Most major problem he has with the SG is the sweat he produces, they clogg up the pick ups (a $3000, if that low) guitar. His primary use is a Gibson SG 61 Les Paul. Murray from Cape Town, South AfricaWell, there is little doubt that Bonn Scott never sang this song- if you can find any member of AC/DC admitting it.
Well, I'd eat my hat. This wonderful cover of which everyone speaks is almost certainly NOT Bonn and NOT angus- anyone who knows AC/DC can hear that. The vocals do sound a lot like Jesse Dupree, but the guitar solos are probably Steve Morse.
He's being doing Back In Black as a standard cover ever since he joined Deep Purple. Could this be it? I'll admit that it's a hell of a difficult thing to determine over the internet because people just assign credit to downloadable songs as they see fit. Billy from Boston, MaI have heard the Bon Scott version. It is NOT Joe Lynn Turner. Bon doesn't even attempt to hit the high notes that we are used to hearing.
It's awesome by the way and there are two other Bon-sung songs as well: Rock in Peace and Dirty Eyes. Sam from Sydney, Australiawhy did the vocals have to be so rap? Its a pity that such a great rock song probably contributed to the establishment of rap. I cant believe self centred egostistic retards (i.e. Eminem) want 2 use good rock music in their crap whiny songs. Alec from Sewell, NjBy the way, the so-called 'Bon Scott' version of Back in Black is definitely not Bon Scott.
It's not even AC/DC playing. Like has been said, the guitar solos, while more accurate in pacing than most covers i've seen, are way too distorted. The lead singer's vocals don't sound like Bon, and besides the Johnson vocals on the REAL song are way better. Alec from Sewell, NjBack in Black was used in School of Rock, during the scene where Jack Black is picking the band positions. Awesome song. The solos are head-bang worthy, and have caused many a long-term headache.
But I didn't care, because it was so awesome. Shana from Pembroke, CanadaAwesome song, one of their best. Austin from Hudson, OhBack In Black was one of the first big albums Lange produced.
3 dietcoke Sep 25, 2015 Back in Black is the greatest hard rock studio album in history. 5 of the 10 songs are played at concerts-6 at Munich in 2001. Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long and Rock in Roll Ain't Noise Pollution are staples at concerts. In Munich they added What Do You Do for Money Honey. It is amazing that Have a Drink on Me one of the top-5 AC/DC songs ever written has been so long neglected-amazing and irritable. They could play them all.
It's that astonishing of a work.
