Listen "Back In Black by AC/DC"
Episode Synopsis
Back In Black transformed personal tragedy into a universal artistic statement. It transcended traditional rock album expectations and represented a perfect fusion of technical musical expertise and raw emotional energy. The record's musical complexity is often overlooked in discussions of its raw power, but the Young brothers' ability to create complex musical landscapes using seemingly simple rock structures revolutionised guitar-based music - and Brian Johnson's vocal style, dramatically different from Bon Scott's, brought a new dimension to the band's sound.Featured songs:Hells BellsShoot To ThrillLet Me Put My Love Into YouBack In BlackYou Shook Me All Night LongRock And Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution
