Ac Dc Greatest Hits Album Tracklist

[Jen Ronnfeldt]

Australianrock band AC/DC have released 18 studio albums, two soundtrack albums, three live albums, one extended play, 57 singles, 11 video albums, 52 music videos and two box sets. Although many AC/DC singles have been released, the band refused to issue any greatest hits albums.[1] Who Made Who, which served as the soundtrack to Stephen King's film Maximum Overdrive, Iron Man 2 and the band's various live recordings are the closest they have issued to such a compilation.[2]

Brothers Angus (lead guitar) and Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) formed AC/DC in 1973.[3][4] The band released two albums in Australasia before issuing their first international album, High Voltage in 1976; the Youngs had been joined by vocalist Bon Scott, bass guitarist Mark Evans and drummer Phil Rudd.[3][4] In 1980, less than a year after the appearance of the successful Highway to Hell, Scott died and was replaced by English singer Brian Johnson, with whom AC/DC released their best-selling album, Back in Black.[3][4][5] The album Black Ice, from 2008, reached number one in 29 countries.[6] In 50 years of their career, AC/DC have sold over 200 million albums worldwide,[7] and 83 million in the United States.[8] Back in Black sold 50 million copies worldwide, and became the second best-selling album in history.[9]

Although many people learn this pattern early on, they seldom play it with the same authority and discipline as Phil Rudd. His drumming provided the perfect foundation for the rest of the band to create an all-time classic.

Beautiful cymbal patterns over a bass line give the track an Afro-Cuban feel. Williams moves back and forth into a half-time swing as more of the kit is introduced, but the pulse feels uninterrupted despite tempo and time changes. Dynamic mastery.

The 16th note hi-hat part in the verses adds brilliant energy and drives the song forward. This has the light touch at the correct times before thunderous fills in the choruses, powered by the kick drum.

The song is incredibly intense and maintains a blazing speed from beginning to end. Pridgen showcases impressive single pedal footwork that complements the fast 32nd note fills played throughout the entire kit. The single-stroke rolls leading up to the choruses are relentless, and the series of fills at the end are brilliantly executed.

This song has some exciting playing in the verses, single hits on toms, accents with crashes, and constantly flipping the snare around. This all builds to the iconic double kick pattern, which are groups of six, first played in double time, then straight as a solo before the guitars lock in perfectly for maximum effect, finishing with machine gun snare fills in the outro.

A thunderous tom intro moves into a cool half-time feel with a clever off-beat start to the verses. Vinnie Paul brought such power on the toms and double kick in this track, but it still has so much groove.

A flawless, exciting, dynamic performance from the jazz master. This arrangement is a musical journey that features insane drum breaks, tight orchestration, some fun parts and two drum solos that exemplify why many consider Buddy Rich the greatest drummer of all time.

The pounding double-time tom beat in the verse lays such a solid foundation for the rest of the band here. Charlie Watts had an incredible meter, like a metronome at times. He opens up a straight beat on trashy hi-hats for the choruses and throws in many brilliant fills as the song builds.

In trying to work out a fill from a Primus song, Cavalera created an exciting tribal groove on the toms and crashes to open this track, followed by some sharp double kick before settling into a heavyweight half-time beat. This feels on the edge from start to finish.

5/4 through the ears of a master. The song features a clean cross-stick and hi-hat pattern, where the accents move over the bar line (counted on the one and three, then two and five) plus some fantastic 16th note flourishes. While complicated, it flows easily. This came from a triangle pattern Sting had written as a constant pulse, which Colaiuta transfered to the kit. Some beautiful laid-back fills tumble into the choruses, with an equally complex ride cymbal pattern with tasteful splash cymbals.

This is a joyous performance, from the stylish hi-hat intro into a half-time rock groove with fills at the end of almost every bar, snare hits jumping out and accenting the vocal melodies. You can feel the chaotic energy of Keith Moon, but it all somehow fits.
