So the other day I tried counting down the all-time greatest rock riffs ever put to vinyl… by anyone… ever.… with a friend. And the crazy thing is, my top 5 picks all pretty much came from the same band! AC/DC! You know I tried to get some other bands in there. But these classic Riffs three were just too good… all of them pure rock and roll dynamite. So not only are we counting them down… we’re also giving their origin stories and some crazy insights what make these anthemic rockers tick. Including one riff that the band said stuck out like a dog’s balls… (Highway to Hell) But then after they recorded the guitar parts on a cassette, the engineer took it home and let his kid play with it, which unraveled the tape… Would the tape be salvaged? Find out next in an epic episode… It’s a hell-raising, triple-threat episode that will have you banging your head and shaking a leg… It’s the top 5 riffs from AC/DC from the dream teams of Bon Scott, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Brian Johnson! NEXT on Professor of Rock.

So the other day I was having some discussion or should I say a friendly argument with some friends about the greatest rock riffs of all time. I was throwing out my top 10 And I thought it would be fun to discuss it in an episode. But then something happened. As I started listing my contenders for top riffs, I started to notice that almost half of them all belonged to one band… AC/DC. And I was like, wait a minute, this is turning into an AC/DC piece. So I thought why not do a show about my top AC/DC riffs instead? Because I mean, with respect to the great Eddie Van Halen, no one writes better riffs than them Young Boys. So, today I’m putting my Top 10 riffs on hold and giving you three AC/DC riffs for the ages. Let’s be honest, they were probably going to rule the top 5 anyway. So let’s go.
Coming in at #3, it’s the title track from AC/DC’s epic 1980 tribute to their fallen frontman Bon Scott… Back in Black. Recorded in the Bahamas and produced by Mutt Lange, Back In Black was this sonic sorcerer’s second album with AC/DC. And one of his biggest ever. One of “the” biggest ever… period. Selling a historic 50 million copies, Back in Black is right up there with Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Eagles: Their Greatest Hits, and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. It’s certainly the biggest-selling rock record ever.
After Bon Scott's death in February 1980, Angus Young decided their first album without him should be a tribute called Back In Black and feature a song with the same name. But Back in Black’s famous riff came into being even before that. It was Malcolm who actually came up with it. He used to play it all the time as a warm-up exercise while the band was on the road. The crazy thing is he almost
