We roll tonight, to the guitar bite.

I have always had upsmost respect for those about to rock, we should all pay mind to those soldiers of soul who take it upon themselves to rock for us. I would like to put forwrd the idea that ADCD's "For those about to Rock" is perhaps the most classic rock song ever recorded. I know what you're thinking... "There's now way it can be as good as november rain". But I know, and deep down you know too that:


A) It is

and

B) November rain isn't nearly as good as Nightrain anyway.


Nevermind that the version on the live album goes on for about three weeks, with Brian Johnson singing... No, make that preaching the lyrics from a real life pulpit (probably made from solid gold).

Nevermind that it uses ACTUAL Cannons which pose a very real threat to both the band and the audience and just shows how far both are willing to go for a cause that they believe in.

Nevermind that Angus Young thrashes his guitar like it was a public schoolboy caught with his hands in someone else's tuckbox.

There's just nothing else on earth that rocks as hard. FACT! Don't start talking about Metallica or Pantera or Iron Maiden or whoever either, there's no rage here, no overblown pretentious operatics, no super technical guitar wankery, just heads down, sweaty, schoolboy shorts wearing honest rock.

So, a tip, listen to the song, touch a forelock and try not to cry with sheer pride at knowing that another member of the human race, OUR RACE wrote such an amazing piece of music.

And if you're going to listen to it now (Run, don't waste another second) For those of you about to rock... I salute you.
