Genre: Australian pop/rock
Places I remember: The Warehouse (Taupo)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Shot Down In Flames
Gear costume: Get It Hot
Active compensatory factors: RIP Bon Scott. This was his last album with the boys, the Aussie tearaways, of AC/DC. Within a year he was dead. Another rock casualty - too young. That was nearly forty years ago!
The Youngs continued, of course. Whether it's the death of a lead singer or a brother (RIP Malcolm Young), or Phil Rudd's drug problems - nothing derails the AC/DC machine. Malcolm or Bon wouldn't have it any other way!
As a final album, it's a good one. Riffage aplenty and a tough production from Mutt Lange complement some typically robust AC/DC songs. Would we have it any other way?
Where do they all belong? After Bon came the mega selling Back In Black but AC/DC would never be this innocent and fun again.
