Highway to Hell

Description

AC/DCHighway To Hellon LP!

Mastered From the Original Tapes: Absolutely Incredible Sonics! A Guitar-Driven Landmark!

Given thatBon Scott‘s hard-partying, sex-booze-and-brawls lifestyle tragically caught up with him some six months afterHighway to Hellwas released, the album-opening title track one of hard rock’s all-time classics now takes on an eerie resonance. It’s not just a snotty, nihilistic party anthem, but a moment of unrepentant self-recognition from a rowdy ruffian who, for better or worse, exulted in what he was. The rest of the songs onHighway to Helldon’t lend themselves to any deep readings, but of course, that’s not the point.

Highway to Helldistills all the virtues ofAC/DC’ssignature minimalism loud, simple, pounding riffs, and grooving backbeats into the tightest batch of songs the group had written to that point, barreling along at a take-no-prisoners rate and producing a handful of gems along the way.Highway to Hellis not only a fitting epitaph forScott, it’s also a classic rock & roll album and quite possibly the best guitar-driven record in history.
