Obviously, this is also on “ Let There Be Rock,” but it was on here first. It almost has that same “go fast” feel as thrash…like if Little Richard or Chuck Berry were trying to play thrash. If this song doesn’t make you want to get up and move in some rhythmical fashion, then clearly you have no sense or appreciation of rhythm or just don’t appreciate the finer things like heavy (and fast!) rock n roll. It’s my belief that my big BALLS should be held every night.” My BALLS are always bouncing, to the left and to the right. But when they’re held for pleasure, they’re the BALLS that I like best. “Some BALLS are held for charity, and some for-fancy dress. Bon Scott is one of the most talented vocalists in heavy music, EVAH!!! Balls. The fact that they played this on the radio just made it even better…because they were being so “naughty” talking so much about “balls.” And yes, it’s still hilarious (and fucking awesome) when listening to it now. I never quite realized how many double entendres and references regarding “balls” there were in this song. Let’s get something goin,’ while your mom and dad ain’t home…” It’s safe to say that AC/DC was (and is) “the metalhead’s quintessential rock n roll band.” The verse riff is something more reminiscent of High Voltage, stylistically, but the chorus has that “next level” of sonic evolution that the band was moving towards: still rock ‘n’ roll in concept, but with more attitude, force, and sleaze (both sonically and lyrically) than most 70’s early (metal) rock bands. It’s one of those songs that will NEVER get old or be old. Hearing this as a child on the radio was quite literally a thrill, mainly because I didn’t own the tape (yet), but because this was a new kind of music that blew my mind. There was a certain, sleazy yet sinister beast infused inside the music and vocals. Get ready for a little “frog licking” (it’s not what you think), find out who will win the battle between “Thunder Chief” and the “Thunder Cheeks” and hear the triumphant story of an un-anonymous black dog who wanted to wear black bar anonymity sunglasses just like everyone else in the Album Cover Witness Protection Redacted Eyeballs Program and JOIN US as we dive into the 2nd album of Scotstralian genius from the boys down under and talk about some DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP.ĭefinitely one of the heaviest ways to open an album EVAH!!! The heaviness and aggression of AC/DC is what set them above the “rock n roll” of their time…it’s what made them stand out. We’re doing our best to render “rim-shot hilarity” to everyone in need of it, located within the global confines of the Tri-County Metal Nerdery listening area. George Young – production, bass guitar on track 3 Malcolm Young – rhythm guitar, backing vocals "Ain't No Fun (Waiting 'Round to Be a Millionaire)" 6:58 "Ain't No Fun (Waiting 'Round to Be a Millionaire)" 7:31Ģ. The most impressive thing about the BON SCOTT era of AC/DC is that every word, every riff, every beat, and every note of every song just oozes a certain essence of sleaze and debauchery (in a good way).Īnd let us not forget the incredible double-entendres splattered across the entirety of the lyrics for the album (umm, “balls” much?).Ģ.
