Every week, we give away a Twenty FIVE EURO voucher for Golden Discs to a Broadsheet music fan.
All we ask in return is a suggested tune we can play at an unspecified time next week.
This week’s theme: AC/DC
What riff-soaked song from the Australian boogie-infused heavy metal merchant’s ‘cannon’ has you literally shaking all night long, possibly into the early hours?

‘For those about to rock, please play AC/DC’s highway to hell because it is possibly the easiest lead break you can learn.

it’s made up of four or five very recycleable licks; a chuck berry, a james burton, another chuck berry and some lovely angus long note holds. no widdly nonsense, just a really well constructed boogie.
the tune also has one of the best kick drum sounds ever recorded and is only a few bpm off the bee gees so you can shake your tush to it when no-one’s looking.
For those about to rock, please play AC/DC’s Thunderstruck because it is the Culchie’s anthem, and is best played near the end of a country wedding (about 1:30 or later), with your tie around your head, your suit trousers rolled up to the knee, and playing your air guitar while head-banging, or else while duck-stepping all around the dance floor.
O.M.G.
This is, like, giving me flashbacks to, like, every culchie wedding I’ve ever been to.

‘For those about to rock, please play AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll)” because it is the best use of Rock ‘N’ Roll bagpipes EVER!’ In fact, bagpipes should be banned except for in this song.
for all lads in your 40’s keep the AC/DC t-shirt for gardening in if you must but preferably the attic
you mean the ‘high voltage’ one i picked up in lidl? i wear that to work and everything..
that’s the one :)
MetallicA man me…….
‘For those about to rock, please play AC/DC’s ‘Riff Raff’ because it is an accurate description of who riffraff really are!
For those about to rock, please play AC/DC’s It’s a Long Way to the Top (if you wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll) because it is The Epitome of AC/DC.
for those about to rock please play Acdcs Hells bells. A slow building moody tune that builds into an absolute classic
Please choose “ It’s a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll” as that’s obvs the best acka dacka song of all, mate!

‘For those about to rock, please play AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” because it inspired this, the best parody ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ3_IVXqWlA.

‘For those about to rock, please play AC/DC’s “Whole Lotta Rosie” because the opening lyrics ring true for most AC/DC fans, “Never had a woman, never had a woman……”‘
For those about to rock, please play AC/DC’s “Shot down in flames” because it reminds me of the time in early 1980’s that I asked out Karen McCutcheon and even gave her a box of After Eights with £1 sellotaped to the outside, I couldn’t believe she would turn down such a generous offer.
She still took the money and ate the After Eights.
