This is the first album recorded with Brian Johnson as lead vocalist and lyricist, and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide, 22 million in the US alone. When I was a kid, I was led to believe that this band was "satanic", but after becoming a young adult, and deciding that I had a mind of my own, I came to the conclusion that this is just a really good hard rock band, and this album kicks ass. I grew up with my cousin Jimmy, and he was a big AC/DC and Metallica guy. I never really became a Metallica fan, but I've really learned to appreciate what AC/DC brought to the table.
Here's a recent live performance of "You Shook Me All Night Long" ...
Featuring the legendary Roots crew ... Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of rap. I've owned a few of Jay-Z's studio albums, but grew tired of them pretty quickly. I can assure you, it's not a race thing. I love Mookie Wilson, we own the entire series of The Wire on DVD, and Demond Stewart just joined our fantasy baseball league. I just don't connect to rap on a very high level. But I really do enjoy the vibe of this record.
Here's the whole show!
