Product Description
Product Description
What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC/DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track, and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out. --David Cantwell
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
En pleine ascension, les Australo-Ecossais s'affranchissent en 1979 de leur premiers mentors, Harry Vanda et George Young (le grand frère d'Angus de et Malcolm, les deux guitaristes de la bande), pour se faire produire par Mutt Lange. Leur hard- boogie y gagne encore en chaleur, et la chanson-titre au refrain irrésistible, placée en ouverture, a tôt fait de devenir un hymne et un hit. La suite sait se montrer à la hauteur, avec des compositions en forme de brûlots qui font mouche à tous les coups, comme "Shot Down In Flames", "Touch Too Much" et "Beating Around The Bush". Pour que le plaisir soit total, les kangourous-rockers n'oublient pas de ralentir le tempo pour finir sur "Night Prowler", un de ces bons vieux blues charnus dont ils ont le secret. C'est, hélas, la dernière occasion de profiter du gosier rocailleux et des joyeuses grivoiseries de Bon Scott, qui disparaîtra tragiquement quelques mois après la sortie de ce qui reste l'un des deux ou trois meilleurs albums d'AC/DC. --Thierry Chatain

The best with Bon,
By roamer (Odenton, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Highway To Hell (Audio CD)
Highway to Hell is considered by many to be AC/DC's best work. I agree that it is their best with Bon Scott but not their best overall.AC/DC again explored some bluesey riffs on Walk All Over You and Night Prowler but they had honed the skill since 1976's Dirty Deeds. Don't get me wrong this is a heavy album. One of their heaviest. The songwriting is excellent the Young brothers' guitar work is crisp and clean and Scott's vocals are delivered with his trademark snarl. This is an outstanding album and should be a staple in any hard rock/metal fans collection.

Still BON as Lead Singer!!!,
By Luap Van Horn "THE NOSE" (Niagara Falls, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Highway To Hell (Audio CD)
This is one of AC/DC's CDs where Bon Scott is STILL lead singer. Heaven knows how many fans dumped "AC/DC", after Brian took over the lead singer reigns. If you did stop buying their stuff after Bon died, it's a shame, since their music is just as good or better, with Brian at the helm. However, only YOU may make that choice! Van Horn!

Grade A-,
This review is from: Highway To Hell (Audio CD)
HIGHWAY TO HELL is AC DC's finest with their old lead singer Bon Scott. The playing is tight, the songs are constructed for maxuim punch, and production is crisp and clear.THE GOOD HIGHWAY TO HELL, GIRLS GOT RHYTHM, SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES, WALK ALL OVER YOU, are some of their finest. This is the cd to start your Bon area with. "Mutt" does a first class job on production, as always. THE BAD Including IF YOU WANT BLOOD, YOU GOT IT, which was just released on a live cd at the time. C.P.O.V.
