Title track of AC/DC 8th studio album, |
In an interview with Mojo magazine, Brain Johnson described the writing process of the song as follows: "they said, 'it can't be morbid – it has to be for Bon and it has to be a celebration.'I thought, 'Well no pressure there, then' (laughs). I just wrote what came into my head, which at the time seemed like mumbo, jumbo. 'Nine lives. Cats eyes. Abusing every one of them and running wild.' The boys got it though. They saw Bon's life in that lyric."
In fact, in the final version of the song, Brian Johnson keep saying, "I'm back, well I'm back," making an obvious connection to Bon Scott.
The song was an integral past of propelling the album into commercial and critical acclamation. In fact, Back in Black has sold in excess of 50 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling albums in the history of music, only second to Micheal Jackson's Thriller. It was, and still is, a hot magnet on rock and classic rock radio. After 30 years later, you can still see many previous generations of rock n' roll fans headbanging to the infamous guitar riff.
