Your cover kicked ass. As a 30+ year player myself and former SG owner, I'd like to say that "Fly" has likely the best-most-underrated guitar work on it of any album. Except maybe Flick or Powerage. Not sure how they did it, but the formula on Fly was all really tight with just magic guitar work. So solid. Dad got me my first ACDC poster when I was 10. I'm 49 now and have seen them live. Do the math.....rock on gents. You're vids are great fun to watch.
@@dutchomatic I'm pushing 48 years as a fan (from the very first note of the very first song I ever heard on the radio) and they never get old. Also Rob Galley's 3:45 here just sent shivers down my spine.

Pienso que Flick of the switch y Fly on the wall son dos excelentes discos para la década de los 80/90, se arrancó muy arriba con back in black y fueron quizás de más a menos, pero para lo que sonaba en esos tiempos eran excelentes.
AC/DC is the band who destroyed live music to me. I got so damn spoiled by Malcolm's, Cliff's and Phil's godly rhythm section that everyone else ends up feeling sloppy in comparison. People may brush them off as simplistic blues rock that never evolved all they want, but that rhythm section, those catchy riffs and Bons brilliant lyrics aren't nothing short of amazing!
Many people will never understand the combination of those three men. One of my best friends swears that Chris Slade was their best drummer and makes them more of a "rock" band. I told him that if that was what he thought AC/DC was all about, he had missed the whole thing.
@@RobGalley You can't be real dawg, you think Rock N Roll can become extinct? You got the feels but you ain't got the power. Rock N Roll will never die.
I myself love Fly on the wall! Especially the opening of the song. And Gone shooting has to be my top favourite AC/DC songs altogether! Such a good groove.
I find the Ballbreaker album seems to get a lot of hate from AC/DC fans.. There are some amazing tracks on that album. The intro to "Honey Roll" is filthy. "Boogie Man" is a great blues groove w a great performance by Brian. "Hail Ceasar" is a killer arena song w the dramatic breakdown. "The Furor" is kind of in the same vein w great solo. "Caught With Your Pants Down" is heavy, fun, and makes you want to speed. Add in a great single in "Hard As A Rock' and it's actually a pretty damn good album, with a lot of great riffs.. :D
Originally was going to make this a list of 10 riffs/songs but had a hard time choosing so I just added a few more! Comment below any other riffs you love that I missed out in this video!
Hearing you play all those classics makes me feel I've let myself down. My guitar teacher always said he'd be proud if I leant to play every AC/DC song, but I never did. I now feel inspired to string up my cherry SG and get the tab out!!
Badlands, Two's up, Burnin' Alive, Caught with your pants down, Live Wire, This means war, Borrowed Time etc. There are many, many great tracks with good riffs
I agree with you, although I never would have considered any riff on Powerage to be underrated. Surely everyone knows that the whole album is brilliant, from start to finish ?
As soon as I heard the opening lick to Fly on the Wall I knew this would be a good video. Everybody gets stuck on their big singles, these guys had some AMAZING deep cuts on their albums.
Video: 13 underrated ac/dc riffs Me, the dude that listened to the entire ac/dc discographi: just classics My favorite ones are let's get it up, gone shootin and back in business HEY but crabsody in blue is underrated and it's actually a good riff, same as get it hot
Lately, I hear much more appreciation for Fly On The Wall. Nice to see three songs on this video. I always like the beginning to Hell Or High Water. Great job, really enjoyed your choices!
Great video! My 13 favs : badlam in Belgium, rising power, satellite blues, can't stop rock n roll, goodbye and good riddance, night prowler, gimme a bullet, problem child, cold hearted man, hell or high water, down paymant blues, mistress for Christmas, cover you in oil
Crazy how most of these underrated songs were released as singles with music videos. Just goes to show the strength of the AC⚡DC back catalogue 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤
It's about time someone gave "Flick of The Switch" and "Fly on The Wall" some recognition, those are 2 of their most underrated albums and just because they didn't sell well doesn't mean they suck.
Great list. Many of these were the riffs I started to figure out when I bought my first guitar. Other great riffs are "Beating Around the Bush" "This Means War" "The Razor's Edge" and "Landslide". Malcolm is the coolest riff master that has influenced so many great players out there.
Are You Ready Walk All Over You Down Payment Blues Riff Raff Dog Eat Dog Let Me Put My Love Into You Fire Your Guns The Furor Live Wire Nervous Shakedown
I love the Riff to Send for the Man awesome. Great video. Flick of the Switch is one their best albums IMO. Fly on the Wall is great as well. Needs a new mix though.
How can he EVER be considered underrated?? He’s regularly on a lot of the “top whatever number of guitar players” lists. Sure, he was “just” a rhythm player, but he’s about the most solid I’ve ever heard. He’s been a major influence on thousands and thousands of guitar players, from guys who only play alone in the basement, to guys who record platinum albums and tour the world. Underrated, my aunt fanny.
Call me weird, but an underrated AC/DC song that I REALLY love is “Spellbound”, the last track on “For Those About to Rock”. A brilliant slow burner, if ever there was one. “Big Jack” (from “Black Ice”) is another great riff too.
Awesome playing. Great sound too. Good video . There’s loads more riffs that could have played but I know it would take too long. Guns for hire being one of them.
Rob, I've subscribed after this video. I sang each one of those songs as you've played. Including Touch Too Much, my cell phone incoming call song. Your channel is very good. Thank you, bro.
I loved the vid. I think Fly on the wall was one hell of an album and was never duplicated by any other band to my knowledge. It sounds so raw and powerful; like they had the amps at 11 and some type of overdrive going on, I loved it and still do today.
I saw Aerosmith at Wembley in the 90s. Stereophonics in support. Kelly Jones, obviously an AC/DC fan and playing an SG, played the “Let’s Get it Up” intro.

I think nervous shakedown is their most underrated song and their most underrated album is flick of the switch
chevy man it’s definitely underrated for sure! I should have used more from that album!
And I actually really liked it, idk what every body has with that album !
@Robert R. Badlands has the groove-iest riff on the album. Bedlam In Belgium is another ass kicker.
I like the songs on flick of the switch but I don’t like how the album sounds, it just sounds like a really bad recording :(
Flick if the Switch is in my top 3 ACDC albums
Touch too much is probably the most underrated underrated ACDC song ever. What a true masterpiece.
Agree.

2. Flick on the switch - 0:52

AC/DC is the band who destroyed live music to me. I got so damn spoiled by Malcolm's, Cliff's and Phil's godly rhythm section that everyone else ends up feeling sloppy in comparison.
People may brush them off as simplistic blues rock that never evolved all they want, but that rhythm section, those catchy riffs and Bons brilliant lyrics aren't nothing short of amazing!
Agreed! I love Angus, but the background to his solos is definitely what makes the whole thing work!
Many people will never understand the combination of those three men. One of my best friends swears that Chris Slade was their best drummer and makes them more of a "rock" band. I told him that if that was what he thought AC/DC was all about, he had missed the whole thing.
Haha right on, buddy. Tight as it gets!
Simple is better! Big wide open chords, amazing rhythm. I dont need a million notes.
You‘re absolutely right. They all sound like light winds compared to a tornado.
Did not expect Ride On to be here. AC/DC's most underrated song imo, love the bluesy feel and emotion in it
Yeah, it’s not really a riff I guess but I love the song so wanted to include it hah!
Agreed
I listened to acdc as a teenager. When I heard 'Ride On ' I was blown away! Don't know why. Just love it!
@@paulkoch7278 I know why, it just speaks to the heart. You hear another side of Bon Scott, it always hits me in the feels too
Ride On is FAR from underrated.
Glad to see younger AC-DC fans. Between AC-DC and the rest of the great 80's , I'm still learning tunes and solos here in 2020. Amazing!
I hope there’s always a new generation of AC/DC fans to keep it alive 🤟
AC/DC, noT AC-DC

Well played, you absolutely nailed those great AC/DC riffs, and that’s an awesome Gibson SG you have there.
Shake a leg is very underrated
Too true 🤟
Sink the pink too...
For me the riffs good but the lyrics are shit
@@floydfreeman1318 Definitely you are right..
Really ? Most acknowledge " shake a leg" is a killer, great riff , the solo !!
I think Gimme a Bullet as well. Such a slept on song because it doesn't have a solo but the groove is incredible.
I love everything about this, including the your smooth and seamless transitions from one riff to the next. Very well done, brother! 🤘🤘
Cheers John!
I love playing aac. DC,,even making mistake s it's so groovy, best regards to all AC DC ,fans
my absolte favorite underrated AC/DC riff is "Inject The Venom" on the "For Those About To Rock" album
Cool riff for sure 🤟
I'm amazed at how underrated hard as a rock is... It even sounds like it would be more popular... It's similar to other popular ac dc songs.
The Rogue Clone one of my favourites!
I’ve always thought it was pretty well known
@@matthewreese7710 It is. It has over 20 million views on the platform.
Badlands, Two's up, Burnin' Alive, Caught with your pants down, Live Wire, This means war, Borrowed Time etc. There are many, many great tracks with good riffs

Nice to see Gone Shootin in there. One of my Favorites, off of my favorite AC/DC album Powerage.

Sink the Pink and Gone Shootin' are 2 of my favourite all time DC tracks. Great playing!
Gone Shootin' is my favorite from Powerage! Such a killer bluesy track!
@@tylerjsmithers8385 I agree 100%
The Razor's Edge title track is one that is moody and different! The closest they got to metal with that one and very underrated also!

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤
I agree! It’s not that they’re bad at all, it’s their bigger songs are obviously more popular!
There is no such thing as an underrated AC/DC riff. Every single AC/DC riff is a banger.
Nice relaxed playing, love the sound! There are too many underrated riffs by them
Thanks so much, yeah I agree!
It's about time someone gave "Flick of The Switch" and "Fly on The Wall" some recognition, those are 2 of their most underrated albums and just because they didn't sell well doesn't mean they suck.
I think beating around the bush is the most underrated AC/DC song
Great sound dude! Fly on the wall, flick of the switch and Blow up your video three very underrated albums in my opinion.
Rock n roll train is my favourite
It’s a great set starter!
@@RobGalley It was the first AC/DC riff I learned
Great list. Many of these were the riffs I started to figure out when I bought my first guitar. Other great riffs are "Beating Around the Bush" "This Means War" "The Razor's Edge" and "Landslide". Malcolm is the coolest riff master that has influenced so many great players out there.
Are You Ready
Walk All Over You
Down Payment Blues
Riff Raff
Dog Eat Dog
Let Me Put My Love Into You
Fire Your Guns
The Furor
Live Wire
Nervous Shakedown
Awesome list 🤟
Great song choices. Always thought big guns had a great feel to it but most rarely talk about it. Thanks for the video. Love the playing.
I agree! Big Gun is a jam! Thanks for watching 🤟
Not a bad album from this band, period ⚡
Agreed!
Superb montage , brilliant to hear all these again . Keep it DC . ❤
That's the way I wanna rock & roll and big guns are one of my favourite songs. Never understood why they never played big guns live
I loved Last Action Hero movie as a kid so big gun was one of the earliest AC/DC songs I got into!
Great list. I would also add the monster licks of Landslide and Riff Raff!
Great !!! Angus the God Of guitar!!
sg old man he sure is! Definitely in my top 3 guitarists ✌️
Yeah, you understood life
Malcom is the god of the riff
The guitar work on fly on the wall is amazing
You get a new SG Gibson, AC/DC riffs are a requirement.
It definitely was!
Or any Gretsch for that matter
I get closer to the sound than the video and I have an Epiphone xD
@Spacecowboy Eson When i have a good camera
@@ManuStratocaster it's the amp and the playing that does it more than the guitar itself.
Very big fan of AC/DC for over 40 yrs.. thank u for BOTH OF THESE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great list, here's my top:
Soul Tripper
Squealer
Problem Child
Jailbreak
Overdose
Live Wire
Touch Too Much
Walk All Over You
Lords Ulrich great list too! Definitely more of a Bon influence I can tell hah. Thanks for watching ✌️
@@RobGalley Not really, i love Brian more than Bon to be honest, but yeah there is only BS songs :)
Great list. Soul Stripper is definitely an underrated gem.
BEAUTIFUL version of the first part of Ride On!!
OK, I may have to go buy Fly on the wall after all.
Some excellent tunes on that one 💪
Spare ur self
It really is a pretty good album. It just needs a bit of remastering. It has a muddy sound
Flawless. And the sound is as close to the boys as you can get. Bravo 👏🏽
I love the Riff to Send for the Man awesome. Great video. Flick of the Switch is one their best albums IMO. Fly on the Wall is great as well. Needs a new mix though.
Fly on the wall and flick of the switch are the most underrate acdc album
I totally agree 🤟
Plus the unique sound via a mix of chords and riffs, just great to know a new album coming out
Playing with Girls.
Always thought that was underrated.
Definitely!
Super song
Would be a great concert opener I always thought
Good to see fly on the wall get some love!
One of my favourites!
Big Gun is my favorite of this video.
Yeah one of my favourites!
Very good and very nice to see other songs than "the usual" covered. A lot of forgotten AC/DC history there :-)
hard as a rock is my favourite song!
Not a bad choice
Whats next to the moon is one of the simplest but best sounding riffs going, in my opinion its soo underated
Malcolm was under rated in my book, the mans timing was perfectly insync with Angus.
Agreed! Absolutely nail tight

He’s considered the greatest rhythm guitarist in almost everybody’s list, how is he underrated?
Really lifted my spirits Rob. Thank you 😊
Great! When you look up Rock in the dictionary, it should show AC/DC...
I completely agree! 😂
Call me weird, but an underrated AC/DC song that I REALLY love is “Spellbound”, the last track on “For Those About to Rock”. A brilliant slow burner, if ever there was one. “Big Jack” (from “Black Ice”) is another great riff too.
Rockin' in the parlour ??
Wow you actually played like all my favorite riffs bro
I Put My Finger on You is also underrated, one of the best.
If the song was from Bon Scott, they played more often in concerts.
5:26 "Sink the Pink"
Awesome playing. Great sound too. Good video . There’s loads more riffs that could have played but I know it would take too long.
Guns for hire being one of them.
I’m seriously debating making a part 3 & that tune is top of my list!
That's the "Way I Wanna Rock N Roll" barely beats out "If You Want Blood" for my all-time favorite AC/DC riff.
YOOO I'm super glad you added Back in Business. Ho early my favorite acdc song. Thanks man. Stay up!
There are so many great AC/DC songs from the 80's. Their best decade, in my opinion. I'm happy to see some of them in this video :)
Some absolute gems came from that era for sure 🤟
Great job. I'd forgotten about some of these.
Thanks for watching! 🤟
Good to hear how well represented Fly on the Wall is. Was hoping to for some Shake Your Foundations!
Rob, I've subscribed after this video. I sang each one of those songs as you've played. Including Touch Too Much, my cell phone incoming call song. Your channel is very good. Thank you, bro.

hail caesar is one of my favorites acdc songs. nice job man
Haha I was hoping sink the pink would be in this list!! I love it!!! 🤘🤘👌👌⚡⚡ Awesome playing mate!
D.T too!
You really made a rating of those underrated riffs... I didn't know how good they were.
Nice job...AC/DC is timeless! Hard to pic em, so many! Well done.

I know what you mean! Definitely their album with the most gain on Angus’ lead time especially!
this just reminded me that basically every ac/dc song is awesome!
As a casual fan of ACDC you don't realise how many you actually know. Some damn good riffs in there!!
This is pretty much a list of my favorite AC/DC songs.
You definitely deserve more subscribers for this type of content
Really glad you liked it 🤟thanks for watching
Very, Very well played. AC/DC is the number one rockenroll band in the world!
Thanks so much for watching 🤟
Great work Rob, that's me listening to the entire DC back catalogue this weekend!! 🤘🎸
Hah glad I could inspire your weekend listening! Thanks for watching 🤟
Boy you certainly nailed them, great job
You have such fantastic spot-on tone.
"Snowballed", from For Those About To Rock was another very cool, but underrated riff.
One of Brian's best vocal performances and Angus' lighting his guitar on fire with his on point playing. One of my favorite songs from them.
Even their underrated riffs are better than everyone else's best.And very well played Sir.
Thanks so much!
Very good video. You are a very precise player and enjoyable to watch. It's easy to see you practice alot and work hard.
Thankyou! Really appreciate it
I saw Aerosmith at Wembley in the 90s. Stereophonics in support. Kelly Jones, obviously an AC/DC fan and playing an SG, played the “Let’s Get it Up” intro.
Really really great! I can feel MAL with us! 🤘 thanks! And well done! Great riffs! Jean-marc, a french fan! 👍🏻
Dude - you got these riffs right on! Love your tone and flawless technique!
I think the most underrated song by ACDC is “Can I Sit Next To You Girl” it’s also my favourite ACDC song. That and “Live Wire”
Those both are FAR from underated.
Thank you Rob,for Guitar inspiration.I really need it today.
Darnim nice playing and the jacket ain't to shabby
