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

Don't forget Malcolm on rhythm guitar! Anyway, just for the sake of accuracy, Bon was not their original frontman. They had a guy named Dave Evans but he didn't last too long.

Yeah, Dave Evans was their original front man!
He did not record an official album with them though.
Thanks for writing back!!!
You rock!
I was such a Bon Scott devotee that it's so striking to hear the anger of the band on this album following his death, and ironically it became immortal.
