Oh, we've had our share of hotels bein' smashed and all, but that was a long time ago. You get lousy room service... I mean, there's no use throwin' a TV set out the window for the sake of throwin' a TV set out the window. But if you get a lousy picture then you have an excuse
We want to appeal to everyone and get rich quick. We want to be millionaires. I've got this plan to buy Tasmania you see...
I just go where the guitar takes me.
I've got the blues in my heart, and the devil in my fingers.
I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.
A lot of people say, 'AC/DC - that's the band with the little guy who runs around in school shorts!'
Style, I didn't think we had any! I just plug in and hit the thing really hard. That's my style...or lack of one!
I saw all the women and I figured that looked good. I was horney. I got a guitar off my brother and started playing anything.
My part in AC/DC is just adding the color on top.
