Songfacts®:

  • Angus Young played slide guitar on this song, which surprised some reviewers, as AC/DC are renowned for having stuck to the same rock and roll formula over the long period of time that the band have been in existence.

  • Kevin O’donahue from Greenwich South East LondonDefinitely nicked the riff off Led Zep’s ‘In my time of dying.’ Surprised they didn’t get sued a la George Harrison ‘My Sweet Lord.’
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjKinda sounds like "In My Time of Dying" by Zep, with the slide.
  • Aaraon from Dallas, TxI just love Johnna's voice at the end of this song. I love it when he sings low.
  • Nick from Cairns, AustraliaYeh i agree, weird for ac/dc to have slide guitar but still it sounds great overall and has a cool "country-ish" feel. I don't know it justs sounds like to me, especially the verse guitar riff but it feels more country in the intro :) anyway its a good song
