AC DC – For Those About to Rock We Salute You LP Cheap

Lesser bands might have been put off their stride by the death of their lead singer, but not AC DC. No sooner had Bon Scott met his whiskey-sodden end in 1980 than AC DC recruited a new singer, Brian Johnson–who sounded almost exactly like Scott–and released, in Back in Black, the biggest-selling album of their career. For Those About to Rock…We Salute You is a suitably triumphant follow-up. The cannon-punctuated title track–the most auspicious marriage of music and artillery since Tchaikovsky s 1812 Overture –still provides a spectacular finale to AC DC concerts. For Those About to Rock also confirmed that Johnson s lyrical preoccupations were broadly congruent with those of his predecessor: Let s Get It Up and Inject the Venom are as subtle as their titles sound. This is a record Beavis and Butthead would describe as cool –and, as usual, they d be right.
