Now, i'm a big Bon fan but Brian stepped in and just killed. He has his own voice but fits right into the sound of AC/DC perfectly and everything converged on this album. One of the greats.

Brian Johnson was not only the perfect replacement for Bon Scott but the only man who could have replaced Bon Scott.


What more can be said about this album that has been said 1000x, this is a classic album

Wow - Bon dies and AC/DC come back with a KILLER album - the best selling album of their career!!!!

The band decides to continue and hires Brian Johnson. Brian just nails it on this album. He fits the music perfectly. Granted, I would rather have Bon behind the mic, but since he is gone Brian was the right choice for the band.

Angus and Malcolm really nailed the music on BiB!!!!! Brian's lyrics fit right in with the music - his writing style is different than Bon and lacks the humor that Bon added, but it works and works well.

The production on BiB is perfect, Mutt Lang really nailed this one perfected - a perfectly produced record that captured AC/DC's energy. The production still sounds great to this day. He also changed the guitar tones a bit to fit Brian's voice. This album is arguable Mutt's best work ever.

The songs are all great, even if I am tired of "You Shook Me". This is a perfect Hard Rock/Metal disc that everyone should own and many people do!

This album is interesting, the album opens with the bells ringing in mourning for Bon.

the title track makes mention of Bon Scott's sexual braggado and attitude:

Forget the hearse 'cause I never die /I got nine lives/ Cat's eyes /Abusin' every one of them and running wild


And the song 'Have a Drink on Me' which is has Bon Scott written all over it and even makes mention of the creed he lived and died by:

Take it today /Forget about the cheque/ We'll get hell to pay Have a drink on me

Brian Johnson sings like his life depends on it. the boys sound great and still love the album.

Great album indeed and one of the greatest of all-time but not my fave Brian era album.

The great thing about this album is that people who aren't even Rock fans own it.... Literally everyone knows AC/DC.... they might not even know the band but they KNOW their songs...

How long will it be before AC/DC plays the Super Bowl?????

It's the Superbowl, lame halftime shows are expected.

I liked The Who.

I liked "Up With People":

My favorite Brian-era album. It's not without reason that this is one of the best selling albums of all time.

Just some more AC/DC collectibles related to Back In Black and some not so......

is the yellow as rare as the blue ?

BACK IN BLACK is one of those albums that you just can't throw any sh*t at. It's that rare beast that not only appealed to the band's core fans, but opened them up to the world at large. AC/DC were an Enormo-Dome band from here on.

I personally am a little tired of "You Shook Me All Night Long," which has become one of the Most Overplayed Songs Ever, but beyond that there's really nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. It's a monster, it's a classic, and deservedly so.

I would add that wherever Bon Scott's at I think he would be proud of this disc.
