The opening riff to ‘Back in Black’ is pure genius – it’s a riff that everyone recognises and is instantly energised by. This applies to many of the riffs later in the song too: it’s a veritable cornucopia of catchiness distilled into a rock staple. The whole mid-section of the song, a clash of spiralling, duelling guitars, is solid evidence that whatever else AC/DC were, they were advanced musicians!
