If You Want Blood You’ve Got It

Released

Very few bands (at least at the time) would have the balls to make the cover of their first live album their frontman impaling the guitarist with his own instrument, but AC/DC had the biggest balls of them all. While that song isn’t here, this high-voltage teeth-kicker runs through some of their most dangerous problem children. It’s lean and mean as you get – even the extended solos on “Bad Boy Boogie” and “Let There Be Rock” feel more like an extended brawl than any sort of musical indulgence.
