It's a long way to the top...

...if you wanna rock'n roll.
I was still in primary school when this album was released. I think I heard it the first time in 1979 or so when I bought it, and I liked the sounds of the bagpipes in this groove. Maybe that's why I got married to a Scottish woman.
Amazing though; 34 years old and it still rocks and sounds great, and the low budget video from the late 7oties, is kind of a relief to the super artificial music videos of today.


In 1977 they were back with another amazing groove and another wonderfull low budget video.
I like how the halo on the guitar player moves up and down, as it could be the birth of the head banging.

Since the singer Bon Scott died in 1980, I stopped buying there records, as there was something missing in there music and lyrics, and seeing these two clips, I think this missing ingredient in AC DC version 2.0 -as you could call it-, could be humor and the ability to laugh about yourself.
