Many people still have yet to realize just how great a guitarist Angus really is, nevermind Malcolm as a monster rhythm guitarist.
So true
Angus is good - he rips a mean pentatonic scale. But Malcolm was a far better guitarist, Angus has admitted that numerous times in interviews. He just quietly did his thing in the background, kept the engine running smoothly along with Phil and Cliff..... 😉
Angus actually PICKS every note of the thunderstruck lick, most of us can only play it at that speed with pull-offs.
This is great . I love AC/DC studio stories
First time I heard Thunderstruck was on AFN radio in Butzbach Germany 1990 and I have listened to it pretty much everyday day since, its such an uplifter!!
Hey Mike it's your old friend from Miami Alex been thinking about you in the past few days and this pops up in my feed truly strange times keep up the awesome work
How do you make so many videos in such a short amount of time?
Odd how Mike says the main lick came later, whereas Ang said it was part of the song since the beginning when he composed it with Mal.
All time greatest rock ‘n roll track, by the all time greatest Rock ‘N Roll band. Change my mind. Can’t, better luck next time. 🤘🏻
EDIT: So many aspiring guitarists started playing because of this song
look at brian on the ballbreaker tour - the dude was ripped
He was also in great shape on their last tour and was still in great shape when they made Power Up.
Brian has epitomised professionalism throughout his entire career
@@c.b.f8185 yes
@@Hologhoul I like his shape during razors edge
Nice video, but just btw David Mallet isn't French... his last name is pronounced like "mallet" (like a hammer). I know this because I am a fan of his director style... he's done Pink Floyd as well. But good video definitely. 👍🎶
How can Mike say there wasn't anything unusual in the mix? Thunderstruck has very specific mixing decisions, the subtle reverb on Angus' main riff, and especially the way he mixed Brian very dry and then added unusual gate reverb to his voice as the song progressed. And then the big reverbs on the drums at certain points. Really cool comments about Brian later on.
The build up on the intro is beyond unique as well
Maybe he does'nt remember the intricacies of the moment. Sometimes I look back at a photo of myself at a place in time and think fuck what the hell was I thinking and it just does'nt come back to me .... except the fact that I looked like a god
Haha what a great comment. Ride on, man:)
And A LOT of backing vocals. For AC/DC track, it is very produced. Don't get me wrong, I live for this band, every songs they bring it to the next level live, it's their thing, it has to be this way! ..except for this one;) So so hard to get it right
@@techdeathhippie6319 True, those backing vocals have quite distinctive mixing
I never understood why Let's play ball didn't take off either..... it would be the perfect song for the beginning of a football game !
A really rocking song! I’m a big fan of Got Some Rock and Roll Thunder. Another song that deserves more attention.
Play Ball is still a cool tune! ........ I think that song and Rock or Bust were their two best singles since Moneytalks. Rock n Roll Train is a very well made track also
Always thought fairbairns production on this record was heavy handed.. the intro lick running the whole tune, the open chords Angus plays on the verse dont ring out naturally they stay the same volume as when he first hits them its a very unnatural sounding sustain and the drums sound super stiff and compressed to death, its like they were programmed .. coolest part of this song is Malcolm's hybrid picking peddle toneish rhythm part this tune always sounds better live than the studio take
Understand one thing - the Young's were from a Scottish background. Once you realise that, those riffs all make sense.
Blood music! Not many touch upon this fact.
So was bon
I don't like their hits(played too much) It's the B sides of the Bon era that's the cream. "What's next to the moon' 'Gone shooting' ' kicked in the teeth again' crabsody in blue, you know things like this. I know, I know your thinking how better off you are knowing this.
LTBR and Powerage are the top 2
