ANGUS YOUNG Reveals Album He Feels Defines AC/DC - "This Is Pure Magic"

Guesting on Switzerland's SRF 3, guitarist Angus Young revealed the AC/DC album he would recommend to someone who has never heard the band before.

Angus: "Let There Be Rock, for me, is the album, and the reason why I like Let There Be Rock is because my brother, George, who was producing it, said to us at the beginning, 'What sort of album do you wanna do this time?' And Malcolm (Young) just looked at me, and he said, 'We just want an album that's just gonna be pure hard rock guitar.' And I thought it was great, because everyone else in the world was into whole other genres - there was punk music, there was new wave; it was all this other stuff that was coming out - and I just thought, 'This is pure magic.' That album defined AC/DC in my eyes. That's when I went, 'This is a great band.'"

AC/DC will release their new music video, for the Power Up album track "Demon Fire", this Wednesday, December 9 at 10 AM, EST / 7 AM, PST.

Listen to the song below:

Power Up becomes AC/DC's longest running #1 album locally, as it scores a third straight week at the top of the Australian ARIA Albums Chart, reports Gavin Ryan of Noise 11. AC/DC’s previous longest spanning #1 in Australia was their 1992 two-week-running set, Live.
