I’m guessing if I asked any of my friends about this band they wouldn’t have a clue who I was talking about. I stumbled across them on Rage (I think) and taped a few songs from a concert way back in the mid 1980s. That VHS cassette was played a lot. Pity my mother (who also loves the band) taped over it one day.
If you are wondering where you have heard this song before, maybe you were a Party Of Five or Amazon or iTunes
Classic Aussie band with a bunch of great songs. They were around at the time I used to sit and watch Countdown on Sunday nights. Pity Red had left the band by this stage. I didn’t even realise that until I read it whilst searching for this one.
All right, so it’s not Bon Scott, though after thirty years I think we can all agree Brian Johnson is just as much AC/DC as the rest of the band. I love the intro to this song.
No an absolute favourite song, however, any person even remotely interested in music will know this song. Problem is, they might only know it through one of the multitude of cover versions.
The opening of this song features a very well known quote from Cool Hand Luke, a great film that I don’t seem to have ever watch all of for some reason. This song is typical Guns ‘n’ Roses and that’s why I like it.
