AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill

Shoot to Thrill by AC/DC Song Info

"Shoot to Thrill" is a song by hard rock band AC/DC. It is the second track on the 1980 album Back in Black. This song is also the second track of AC/DC Live and AC/DC Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition, and is included on the Iron Man 2 soundtrack. Although the studio version was never released as a single, the song is a fan favorite and a staple on classic rock radio stations. When explaining his lyrical inspiration for the song, lead singer and then-songwriter Brian Johnson recalled reading a British article about a neighborhood pusher who made daily rounds (almost like a milkman) throughout the London suburbs, selling narcotics to bored, lonely and depressed housewives. These substance-effected homemakers would then peruse the local clubs and bars, seeking out torrid, extra-marital relationships. The term "shoot to thrill" most likely refers to certain solutions such as diazepam (valium), which is often administered via injection to treat anxiety and depression. Lead guitarist Angus Young has recently commented that the song's "breakdown", which occurs soon after the main solo (a muted and repeating three chord sequence of A Major triad, G Major triad, and a D power-chord leading up to a bombastic outro-solo), was inspired by the trio gun-battle climax from Sergio Leone's classic, Italian western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. In this seminal scene, gun-fighters Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach stare one another down in the center of a Civil-War cemetery for minutes-on-end to an eventual shoot-out. Young said this sequence in the song was designed to mirror the actual soundtrack selection "Il Triello" by composer Ennio Morricone. Both compositions feature a slow quiet build-up, increasing in tension to a thunderous, cataclysmic finale.

AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill Song Lyrics

All you women who want a man of the street
But don't know which way you wanna turn
Just keep a-comin', and put your hand out to me
'Cause I'm the one who's gonna make you burn

I'm gonna take you down
Oh, down, down, down
So, don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger

Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills, yeah
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will, yeah

I'm like evil, I get under your skin
Just like a bomb that's ready to blow
'Cause I'm illegal, I got everything
That all you women might need to know

I'm gonna take you down

- Of Course!!!!

Why wouldn't you buy this album! It's the greatest rock album ever, the highest selling rock album ever, and the second highest selling album of all time!!! BUY BACK IN BLACK

- Yes

Yes yes yes! This is awesome

- The Best

Greatest album in music history.

- Album Sales Don't Lie

Album sales don't lie. Usually the albums that sell the most contain the best quality material. Back in Black has sold 22 million albums. I don't think it's as consistent as Led Zeppelin IV or Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction. But "Back in Black" is as good as it gets hard rock wise. "You Shook Me All Night Long" is a precursor for what was to come in 80s metal. Back in Black is essential for hard rock or metal fans.

- Does anybody not know how great this album is yet?

It's often mistaken for a "greatest hits" compilation. That's how solid and memorable EVERY FRIGGIN' SONG, EVERY SINGLE FRIGGIN' SONG is. Y'all should have ripped it from a CD a long ago.

- Awesome

This album should've been number 1

- Acdc

Definition on what rock n roll was, is, and should be🤘🏻

- Just listen to the Album

Just listen to this album and you will know why it is one of the best selling in history. Then try some of the live movies and you will see just how great this rock band is and why they have stood the test of time.

- ACDC IS LEGEND

They only way to fix this generation from being so ****ed up is bringing back ACDC

- The best

This Album is one of AC/DC best ever keep on rocking boys 😁

- What do you do for money AC⚡️DC

The best album they ever did no filler tracks and all of them are memorable modern albums wish they could be this

- Best AC/DC Album

Brian Johnson successfully filled the gap left by Bon Scott. He turned an already rock n' roll powerhouse and raised to a whole new level. Back in Black is one of the best AC/DC albums there is

- Awesome

The title explains

- THE BEST!

It only makes sense that the best rock album comes from the best rock band. ROCK ON AC⚡️DC!😝

- One of the Best Hard Rock Albums!

Not only the best AC/DC album but one of the best Hard Rock albums of all time. In my top 10 albums. You Shook Me All Night Long is one of the best songs ever...PERIOD. Back in Black. Hells Bells, Givin the Dog A Bone, Rock and Roll ain't Noise Pollution and Have a Drink on Me are all GREAT songs. This is a must have.

- Timeless Guitars & Drums

Music could of came out today & done very well. Working music, just gears you up to take on any project like it was nothing. You'll be out mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, & power dustin the driveway singing to the top of your lungs Back In Black!

- One of the Best, Ever

This album is seriously one of the greatest albums ever. I don't know what I would do without AC/DC, they are (part) of my life. Right from the beginning of this career-defining albums, Hells Bells packs a hard rock punch no other song could replicate, and it includes my favorite verse of all time. Straightforward but classic, Back in Black gives you chills the first time you hear it. It's the second most selling album of all time. Made in 1980 after lead singer Bon Scott died and was replaced by huge-voiced Brian Johnson, it's still great to this day. Timeless to the fans of AC/DC from the beginning, but also awesome to the young listeners of today whom may be listening for their first time, (you should definitely take a listen if you have not heard it before.) Even the album cover displays the menacing, hard mood of the album, as well as all 10 songs. 'Back in Black' is my personal favorites, featuring one of the best guitar riffs of all time, an awesome rhythm and screeching vocals, this one is a classic from that opening "Back in Black" to "outta sight. I don't know why it took so long to get this on iTunes, but this album should be part of every music collection. You just have to get it.

- Perfect

Put in context. Your lead singer just died. You have 2 songs written. You are doomed. Not AC/DC. In one of the most heroic achievements since the Oddesey, they found an equal singer with his own identity. No one will equal this band’s achievement and here is there finest accomplishment. Pass it on.

- I bought this album 29 years ago.

I love it! BUT. It's not the greatest. I didn't know AC/DC fans were such idiots.

- Best Record of ALL Time!!!!

Seriously...If you threw me on a desert island with nothing but one album this is it!!!

- Play it loud

There are many great giants in rock n' roll. AC/DC, is a mega god, and the proof is in this album. Every track on this album is hardhitting, and doesn't slow down in speed. The opening track, "Hell's Bells" sums it all up of what this listening experience will be.

- AC/DC

Anyone who gives them less than 5 stars either dosent have ears or their hand slipped

- Overrated, but still great

When I bought this album, I knew it was gonna be good, but not 50 million copies sold good. It's a great album. Not the greatest album of all time, but pretty great.

- Just so hardcore

This album is fantastic i get why people say it isnt the best album ever but it is up there with the likes of dark side of the moon, tommy, and LZ IV but acdc has their own style and are too powerful that this album shines over some of the greatest

- Love this bad

I love this kind of band I like these kind of classic rock music ever

- Seriously???

If by now, you need to read a review to decide if this this is worth purchase, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU!

- I love this band !!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE AC/DC shoot to thrill

- ITunesness

Album would be great if it remained on my devices and didn't block the necessary additional downloading

- Best album

Best album

- Untouchable!

Top 5 bands ever!

- AC/DC

Greatest album ever!!

- Back in black

You probably were confused why this album gets a one star. It doesn't, but I'm trying to get your attention for those of you looking for a flaw with this album: there are none. Whether you are a hard rocker or not, this album has got to be one of your favorites. There are so many great songs on here. Don't even bother thinking about it. BUY BACK IN BLACK

- Beware...

The Thunder from Down Under is on iTunes, and they're Back in Black! This has got to be AC/DC's best album yet, with the opening track Hells Bells(my favorite AC/DC song), shoot to thrill, the title track, and you shook me all night long. Buy this album! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

- Rock on

Rock on folks rock on to the greatest album ever

- G.O.A.T.

Not overrated this is the best hard rock album of all time .

- GREATEST MUSIC EVER

This is a must buy. I have never heard such beautiful music before.

- Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

This album is definitly the best AC⚡️DC album in my opinion, and is one of the best rock albums ever!

- Classic album!

The I-Tunes review hit the nail on the head. This is the best second act in music history. It's a classic hard rock album and a fitting tribute to former front man Bon Scott. Every AC/DC album is packed full of tunes that always wake me up and get my blood pumping. Their songs actually increase my focus and my motivation and make for great driving music and this album is possibly the quintessential example. If you had to pick one album to stand as a textbook on AC/DC, this would probably be it. It has the most hits and the strongest average song rating of any AC/DC album. There's almost never a throwaway on any of their albums, but even Back In Black's non-hits are really strong. I was very impressed when i recently reveiwed this album in it's entirety to find that all of the songs were awesome - not just the one's i've heard before. Lots of people point out that their music sounds the same - especially post Bon Scott (I actually prefer Johnson's vocals), but it's a formula that works. And that's something that just isn't true for most bands. These guys are so talented that they could sing the phone book and it would sound great. And they do sound different to a discerning ear. This album proves that they can have a bluesy side with great effect as well. As I said, this album has the strongest average star rating of any AC/DC album. It's got two 5 star songs in Shoot to Thrill and Shook Me, six 4 star songs, only two 3 star songs and no throwaways.

- Rock on

This is the greatest album ever created. Every song on it is full of rockin' solos and head hangin' vocals. ACDC are gods of rock and roll, and this is their strongest work.

- Finally

That great it about time this amazing album finally comes to iTunes!

- Words cannot accurately describe

This album is perfect, period. I can't say anything else that better fits.

- One of the greatest Rock Albums Ever!

This is a awesome album every song rocks! AC/DC rules!

- AC/DC

ROCK ON

- Welcome to Valhalla

Truly one of the greatest albums ever released. We wore this cassette out in our boom box almost every morning before first bell at school while we shot baskets.

- Best second act ever.

Few bands recover from the loss of a front man much less one like Bon Scott but they did and topped the charts and rocked the world with Back in Black. Considered rock they really are heavy blues. Few songs can be recognized worldwide but this has more than one that can be. Buy it

- best think ever

yAAS ❤

- The Greatest Band in the history of bands.

Fantastic, all around. COMPLETE AND UTTER AWESOMENESS AT IT'S FINEST!!!!!!!!!!

- It's ok

Way over rated. All their songs sound the same in all the albums. Same vocals similar guitar playing in the background.

- Best Rock Album

This is by far the best rock album

- Great Album

This album has many great songs on it. It also has some Great riffs too. This album is a must have! I love it!!!!!

- About Time

Finally AC/DC on iTunes. Anyway just to say this is still one of the greatest albums of the 20th Century & sounds just as fresh 32 years on. In my top ten albums, no doubt.

- love it.

About Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Best Rock Album Ever Made

Back in Black is the best album ever made , This is a masterpiece of hard rock it has everything. The album was made under difficult times after losing the wonderfull Bon Scott (The Greatest Front Man Ever) but my did they make an album! Another monster from the masters. If you have never heard this album be prepared to be shocked as no other rock album comes close.

- A Must Have.....

Any fan of rock music must have this album in their collection. Be wary of anyone who doesn't own this! End to end simply the best rock album ever produced.

- Classic

THE greatest rock album ever. A genuine classic from start to finish. After mourning the great Bon Scott's death AC/DC found a singer who (in my opinion) is even better. From Hells Bells onwards its an album that doesnt disappoint. Hells Bells, Back in Black, You shook me all night long, Shoot to Thrill are 4 of the best songs AC/DC have crafted. Buy it!!!!

- A long time coming

Was only searching last week for AC/DC tracks on here. Now my prayers have been answered!! My wife is gonna hate me for the next month with these tunes blaring out! Best CD ever!!

- back in black

Best hard rock album, ever.

- Dirty Deeds

Quite simply one of the best albums ever - period. Every single track is a Rock masterclass. The title track is a true classic and if Have A Drink On Me doesn't make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck then you have no soul! A must-have album.
