Wow, Interesting!

For years and years I felt like that nasty, skittering squall predominant all over Fly On The Wall - a novel solo sound that Angus deployed to devastatingly raucous and tuneful effect throughout the album - came straight out of nowhere, no previous precedent (and precious little antecedent) in the band's sound or catalog.

But no! Take a close listen to the "Guns for Hire" solo on the album previous to Fly, the great, neglected Flick of the Switch: listen right at about 2:10, 2:11 into the song - right after Brian screams "stick 'em up!" - there it is! That same guitar sound. For about two, two-and-a-half seconds!

I can't believe I never noticed that before. Love that sound!

It's so insane how the ignorant and poorly-educated claim AC/DC sounds the same on every album, when in fact, even just as far as Angus is concerned - just that one component! - he never stands still, he's always progressing, refining, redefining, experimenting...spectacular guitarist, one for the ages. No one more fluent in the minor pentatonic. On the fretboard, a man of few words, perhaps, but he wrings every shade of meaning from each. It's like Gettysburgh's fucking address up there half the time: ELOQUENT.

Eloquent.
