This iconic song by Australian Hard Rockers AC/DC is immortalised for its arresting stop-start opening riff composed by lead guitarist Angus Young. Ahead of his time, Angus was acclaimed for his use of the palm-muting technique when performing the riff on his faithful Gibson SG. Reportedly inspired by the trials and tedium of life on a tour bus, the lyrics for this tune have secured it as an all time classic rock hit.
