AC/DC - For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)

Thanks

Brilliant song brilliant group,good band just keep on going.

I had the luck to see them twice when Bon was still alive.

Mopeder, I salute you.

The most culturally influential musicians of the baby boom generation, no doubt about it - Benjamin Wiker and other conservatives would have a field day dissecting their songs and it’s extremely easy to see the real message behind them unless you blind yourself to the notion that it’s all about sex.

That the hyper-radical hedonism of AC/DC struck a chord with a working class that was seeing or feared seeing its real wages reduced by attempted cuts to the public sector there is not a whiff of doubt. The message that rock and roll could save fits in clearly with the message, and gave these people something to aim for - indeed even idolise.

The music itself seems quite challenging - a classic use of “double time” rhythms in a two-part song, which was to become a model for such Metallica songs as “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” and “One”.

What Benjamin Wiker says about what he sees as destructive books certainly applies to AC/DC’s music - even if you hate it or what it stands for, you should certainly listen to it at least once.

My favorite song by AC/DC. In fact right up there with some of my other favorites.

Rock on!

Angus' love of Chuck Berry shines through as usual.

I'm envious of a friend who has a few ACDC albums on A Track.

Following isn't as good as the Acca Dacca version but I love Rollins and Hardons.

One of the standard bearers of metal!!!

Great song Mopedor! I love it! Here's my favorite AC/DC song.

Ahh...the good ole days of REAL MUSIC [80s]; miss it to death!!

Awesome song--I love it.

There are some great songs that the group did. Was I a fan? No

Grew up with them so they will always be in my book!

I don't like anything that was done after Bon Scott died. Brian Johnson's voice sucks ,BAD!

AC/DC Oh yeahhhhh!

Ready and aimed at you
Pick up your balls and load up your cannon
For a twenty one gun salute
