In this new video from Sweetwater, Nick Bowcott shows you five iconic AC/DC guitar riffs that are often played inaccurately, and shows you how Angus Young himself played them.

The Cook Islands - who are citizens of New Zealand in the South Pacific Ocean - have released new silver coins honouring two classic AC/DC albums: a two dollar coin commemorating AC/DC’s landmark 1981 album, For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) and a ten dollar coin celebrating AC/DC’s 1990 album, The Razors Edge. The obverse side features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. These are the third ad fourth in a series released by Liechtenstein’s CIT Coin Invest AG. The first two were  Highway To Hell, For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) and Black Ice (which is sold out).

Descriptions read as follows:

For Those About To Rock 2 Dollar coin:

“The latest release of this successful collection is dedicated to another million selling album (No 1 in US) from these hard rock icons. With the release of this hit record the band went on tour for more than one year. Still today, the title song is always the last song of an AC/DC concert with firing cannons on stage. For those about to rock is also a variation of the phrase “We who are about to die, salute you”, which is how ancient gladiators greeted their emperor when entering the arena. Angus Young got the idea for the title of the song after reading a book about the ancient gladiator games. This ½ oz silver coin showcases a historic cannon and has a diameter of 38.61 mm with a striking proof finish.”
