AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck by AC/DC Song Info

"Thunderstruck" is the first song on the 1990 AC/DC album The Razors Edge. The song peaked at number #5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks. It was released as a single in Germany, Australia and Japan. Shown is the cover of the German release of the "Thunderstruck" single. The song is said to be inspired by lead guitarist Angus Young's hair-raising experience when a plane he was on was struck by lightning. However, Angus Young was later to say that it "started off from a little trick I had on guitar. I played it to Mal and he said 'Oh, I've got a good rhythm idea that will sit well in the back.' We built the song up from that... It was really just a case of finding a good title. We came up with this thunder thing and it seemed to have a good ring to it. AC/DC=Power. That's the basic idea." Contrary to popular belief, Young does not play Thunderstruck's main riff with one hand. Instead, he picks every fretted note and pulls off the open notes. Additionally in all AC/DC live videos, Angus can clearly be viewed picking every fretted note. The one-handed tapping technique can only be seen in the "Thunderstruck" music video. The video which accompanied the single was filmed at London's Brixton Academy on 17 August, 1990. The audience members were given free T-Shirts with the words 'AC/DC - I was Thunderstruck' on the front and the date on the back, and these T-shirts were worn by the entire audience throughout the filming of the video. The music video of Thunderstruck on YouTube, as of May 2009, has over 20.6 million views.

- 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 !

- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

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

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!
