AC/DC- Back In Black (album review)

AC/DC "Back In Black" is one of the best rock albums of all time. Now, before I get into the review, I want to tell you a little bit about what it means to me. It all started a couple of year, ago. Before I liked 80's & early 90's rock and Hair Metal, I liked a different kind of music. I am not going to get into that. I laugh at myself for what kind of music I liked before!
Anyways, I was at a local music store and I picked up AC/DC's "Back In Black" album. I did not hear much of them before. The first time I played it, it blew me away!! And I never liked that other kind of music again!
Now for the review:
All of the tracks are solid. There is not a song on the album that I do not like! But, my favorite tracks inlude; "Hells Bells", "Back In Black", and "You Shook Me All Night Long". This was the first album that they did without original frontman Bon Scott. The passing of Bon Scott was a huge blow. A lot of people did not think that they would ever bounce back. But they did! In a big way! They acquired vocalist Brian Johnson and the rest is history. And it also helped that they had one of the best guitarists in history! Angus Young.
So in conlusion, "Back In Black" was one of the best rock albums of all time and will never be forgotten.
Band Lineup:
Brian Johnson-Lead Vocals
Angus Young- Lead Gutiarist
Cliff Williams- Bass
Phil Rudd- Drums

Hair Bangers Radio's successful ingredients come from the Hair Metal era from the 80's & early 90's. We feature everyone from Bon Jovi to Iron Maiden, Poison to Queensryche, Skid Row to Armored Saint, and every little and big band in between.One of the fun aspects of the show is that you never know how deep into the hair metal vault we will go. on any given night, you may hear, Tora Tora, Rough Cutt, Babylon A.D., Leatherwolf, Wildside, or Icon.

The goals of the hair banger radio show is to celebrate and enjoy the hard rock scene which spanned from the early 80's to the dawn of grunge, music that is severly neglected on today's airwaves. A lot of great music arose from this era, including established bands like, Scorpions, Dokken, Motley Crue, Guns N' Roses, and Quiet Riot. As well as lesser known bands such as, Blue Tears, Giant, Hurricane, and, Silent Rage.

Along with your favorite songs from the past, we also feature new music and artist interviews. many bands have new material that never reaches its prime audience. Both the music and the fans deserve a show like this.
That is why we created the hair bangers radio show.
