AC/DC - Hell's Bells

Hell's Bells is definitely one of the top rock 'n roll songs of all-time. It was the first song on AC/DC's first album with Brian Johnson as the new lead singer after the death of Bon Scott. The song was written to commemorate the death of Bon Scott, who was found dead in his car following a night of binge drinking.

The last time I saw them in concert, this was definitely the highlight of the concert. It was in Tallahassee, Florida, and they had a huge bell that was suspended above the crowd, and it started from the back of the stadium and slowly moved forward until it was directly above the band. It was ringing the entire time. When it got directly on top of the band, Angus began his guitar solo. It was awesome. Enjoy!
