New AC/DC track. How are they this good after 45 years? Did Angus go down to the crossroads and make a deal? Shot in the Dark indeed:
That's an amazing riff. Sounds like old AC/DC but sounds like an original riff too. No way Angus didn't go down to the crossroads. No way, man.

AC/DC gets on the Highway
Classic. Three chords. A beginning guitar player can learn it. It's the ABC song of chord progressions. So simple. So brilliant:
And it rocks. It just rocks so hard.
Angus does that leg kick there because the solo is pure Chuck Berry.
They always took simple things made them grind and turned up the volume. Just like Highway to Hell. So many Angus solos he just sets up a box of four or five notes and just bounces back and forth between them.

Monday Metal (Let There be Rock)
This weekend saw the 40th anniversary of AC/DC's Back in Black. So welcome to AC/DC week here at William Stroock dot BlogSpot dot com. Let's get things started, shall we? This is Live at the River Platte, 2009:
We saw them three times on this tour, including the opening night at Pottsville, PA. We had middle seats, about ten rows back.
They played five songs off the new album, opening up with the new single Runaway Train, which became part of their concert playlist we learned when we saw them again in 2015. From their they played all the classics. Other then the new stuff, they played Thunderstruck (of course) and from there the 70's and 80s classics. Thinking back:
Highway to Hell
Back in Black
Hell's Bells
Shook me all Night Long
For Those about to Rock (closer)
Shot down in flames
Whole Lotta Rosie
Shoot to Thrill (fuck yeah)
Let There be Rock (epic, takes about ten minutes)
We remember music, and lights, and sound and power chords...Just a special, magical night. We couldn't believe it was happening.

Monday Metal
Late Edition
As noted we don't have much left to say about metal and are shifting to nice bits and observations and such.
Here's a wonderful little guitar solo (1:50) by Angus on 2008's Anything Goes:
Very Chuck Barry, by a man of whom it can be said, 'Very Angus'.
We saw them three times on this tour, including the opener. We were on the floor, center, perhaps 15 rows back. Our first time seeing AC/DC in concert and an amazing night.
