  Imagine you're 12. The internet doesn't exist. You loved this band but their lead singer died. You hear they are coming out with a new album. You take your allowance and you go to the record store that is completely decked out in the album cover. You buy it from the teenager at the counter who is clearly doing his best to look like David Bowie. You grab the change, run out, hop on your bike and race home. In your haste you accidentally play the B side. The first thing that blares through your massive puffy headphones you've plugged in is the beginning riff of this song. Heaven on Earth folks.

  "Back in Black" is recognized as a tribute to their late lead singer, Bon Scott. The album was released in 1980, marked a new chapter for the band with Brian Johnson following Bon Scott's death. While it's a celebration of the band's new beginning, it also serves as a tribute to their former frontman. The Young brothers wrote the music and Brian Johnson wrote the lyrics.

  There are a few albums you cannot write the history of rock 'n roll without. This is one of them.

  I went to the first Back In Black concert at the Sydney Myer Music Bowl in 1980 and there are no words to describe how magnificent it was. They blew us away and the whole time it was dancing like a big party. The best rock concert ever. ❤

  Back in black was their first album with Brian Johnson after Bon Scott died. It was a monster of an album, it was freaking huge. One of the best selling albums of all time.

  In my mind this is the greatest come back album ever. After the loss of their lead singer Bon Scott, most bands would have folded. Instead, they rolled back with one of the greatest albums ever. From start to end it’s a banger and it was recorder in a short time with a tight budget. Just play the whole album from start to finish some time and remember what a album should be. There’s a clip somewhere of Brian Johnson saying they asked him if he could write and they gave him a pen and pad. He loved cars and he wrote, “She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean. She was the best damn woman that I’ve ever seen.” An amazing start from ‘She shook me all night long.’
