I may bitch about AC/DC writing the same shit over and over, but nobody can deny the importance of their contribution to music as we know it and they deserve every ounce of their success.
Well said.

Eh. Okay. Different than their older stuff. Like the guitar sound at the intro. Very
processed-sounding (Least on the computer speakers). Could have done without
Tweedly McTweedlerson tweedlin' away under the last part. Can't stand that.

Guess liked the first half, second half needed edited for over-wanking.

Yeah, this version of the band is saturated with lead guitar. It's worse live. Maybe Axl really wants to stick it to Slash... he keeps hiring these uber-shredders. But sometimes it's like trying to listen to a song in the middle of Guitar Center. :?

Decent enough song. I like the sonic creativity they have going on; it's not paint-by-numbers rock. Still, after all these years you would have hoped for a really killer single.

I think this sums it up best:

Guitar World Interviewer: Angus, ACDC has been accused of making the same album 12 times.....

Angus Young: That's a dirty fookin' lie! ACDC has made the same album 14 times!

Have nothing against solos, per se. Just like well-crafted songs and all too
often, the guitar wankin' away doesn't really add to the song and can take
away.

They need....the raz-O-r.

It'd be like...and let's see where this leads...drum solos throughout the verses
just so the drummer can show what he can do.
