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.

So Steve finally sealed the deal with Bon! No wonder it took so long. They just needed the right meeting place! Awesome collection and well worth the price! Thanks iTunes!

- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It's about time ACDC came to ITUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOooooooooog overdue!

- It is about time!!!

My complements to whomever got the business deal done - THIS is LONG overdue ! Apparently, It's a long way to the top……(if you want AC/DC's business manager to agree to distribute music in the 21st century) Nice! ( and Thank you )

- FINALLY !!!

Rock&Roll !!!!

- Thanks for letting me give you my money!

Finally AC/DC is on iTunes! I had resorted to downloading (sorry) all your music, as I don't want to find a record store. Now I can just buy the entire collection and have a clean copy in my library! Also the remastering really does sound AMAZING, I can definitely hear the difference even from my high quality copies! You guys didn't sellout, you just gave your fans what they wanted where they could get it easily! You guys rock. High Voltage Rock'n Roll!

- Long wait is over!

At last! The ultimate dose of rock 'n' roll is here.

- ITune's and AC DC have made my year!

This is the best news ever on iTunes! Just excellent!

- Holy Hells Bells!!

About Time.

- I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!!!!!

When's the next tour?!?!?!?!

- F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. Period.

I almost can't breathe. It's about TIME!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! What on Earth took SO LONG?!!!!! The stars have aligned and all is right with the world...a wonderful sigh of relief and excitement. May the holidays be very merry indeed! Thank you iTunes, thank you!

- Good, Old-Fashioned Rock n' Roll!

I've been waiting for this day to come for such a long time. AC/DC is easily one of the greatest bands of all time, and now that their songs are finally available on the iTunes store, I'm beyond ecstatic to buy their entire collection of music…as soon as I get the $100 to do so, that is. It's gonna be so awesome rocking out to "Back In Black", "Highway to Hell", and every other one of their classics on my iPod. Trust me when I say this is a must-buy for any AC/DC fan!

- AC/DC

Thank all possible reasons for this action

- About time iTunes!!

Quintessential rock bands finally available on iTunes!! thanks

- Thank YOU!!!!

Absolutely one of the best purchases I have ever made on iTunes!!!! Thank you Angus and Malcolm Young!!!

- about Time!!

good job on finally getting acdc on i tunes now i won't have to buy those crappy cover albums lol acdc rocks!!

- MY GOD!

It's. BEAUTIFUL... (T_T) I'm sorry, but I cannot cantain myself any longer! O' HAPPY DAY!!!

- All The Good Songs And More.

A little pricy, but well worth it. Head banger heaven.

- Greatest Rock band of all time

The Beatles, The Stones, Sabbath, Zeppelin and AC/DC. No serious rock collection is complete without them. And for those who say every AC/DC song sounds the same, you just have to spend more time and dive deep in the album. Highway to Hell is more consistent front-to-back than any Zeppelin record.

- Finally!!!!

It's about time. This is rock and roll at its finest !

- ACDC

about time acdc rocks.
