00:01:11 - AC DC is a British Australian rock band, formed in 1973 in Australia by Scottish brothers Malcolm

00:01:18 - Young and Angus Young.

00:01:24 - This song is from their fantastic 1976 album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, notable for the song structure that was atypical for the band.

00:01:37 - It has a slow build, with slow smooth chords with bluesy solos and lyrics about just wanting to quit, rock lifestyle.

00:01:49 - Bond Scott's sad voice and the lyrics about just relaxing a bit, giving up drinking and womanizing for a while to realize how hollow, lonely and miserable life can be.

00:02:02 - It's probably Scott's most personal, heartfelt song in the band, singing about his self-destructive lifestyle that eventually killed him.

00:02:19 - AC DC isn't known for its lyrical masterpieces, but these are pretty fantastic.

00:02:25 - He sings about how everything in his life is bringing him down, which is a bluesy cliche, but then he starts singing about how lonely his life is and how he doesn't want to do it anymore and how he just wants to blow up but he just keeps riding, or keeps living.

00:02:52 - Let's also talk about Angus's guitar solo so beautifully played, teetering on the edge of a normal hard rock solo, but has enough melody and rhythm to keep it to its bluesy roots.

00:03:04 - A giant Angus

00:03:07 - AC DC performed the song live only once

00:03:11 - On June 22, 2001, at the Stade de France, Saint-Denis near Paris, during the stiff upper-lift tour

00:03:21 - At the end of that show, the band unexpectedly returned after their traditional two-song encore dressed as soccer players in the blue color of the French national soccer team and played, right on, for John Lee Hooker and old American bluesman, who had passed away the day before, although it is not explicitly mentioned as a tribute. It's nice to remember Bon Scott and listen to part of an interview from 1977, an unmistakable voice.

00:03:54 - Right now you're really big on the on the European side, especially on the life-turing side.

00:03:58 - Can you tell us a bit about the European market as far as ACDC are concerned?

00:04:04 - The European market is really quite strange. There are a lot of freaks out there.

00:04:10 - They're not punk and they're not terribly young.

00:04:14 - It's about to say you might fill it home if there are a lot of freaks going down.

00:04:17 - You'll find a few on the street after the show in the gutter.

know. But they're the sort of, oh it's really hard to say, but they're more emotional audience or what? Emotional. They're into rock you know. Probably more so than the rest of the world. Yeah. They're crazy because like European bands don't play rock music and if they do play it they don't play it well you know. So the only rock they get is from England,

00:04:45 - America and now Australia. Right now let's look at four countries right. You've got

00:04:50 - But the USA, which you're about to lead for and do an extensive touring site, you've got the European market, you've got the British market and you've got the Australian market.

00:05:02 - Does the ban change at all or you just play the same thing for every market and use the same approach?

00:05:08 - Exactly the same, yeah.

00:05:09 - There's no need to change.

00:05:10 - I mean, we're what we are and we ain't going to change for nobody, you know.

00:05:16 - So it's just, like you could put them all in one room and you couldn't tell one from the next.

00:05:22 - I think it's the same the world over.

00:05:27 - It's another lonely evening.

00:05:46 - In another lonely town

00:05:53 - But I ain't too young to worry

00:05:56 - I ain't too old to cry

00:05:59 - When a woman gets me down

00:06:06 - Got another empty bottle

00:06:09 - And another empty bed Ain't too young to admit it

00:06:23 - No, I'm not too old to lie I'm just another empty head

00:06:30 - That's why I'm lonely, I'm so lonely But I know what I'm gonna do

00:06:46 - I'm gonna ride on, ride on Standing on the edge of the road

00:07:00 - I'm in the air

00:07:02 - One of these days

00:07:04 - I'm gonna change my evil ways

00:07:09 - So then I'll just keep running on

00:07:14 - I broke another promise Now I broke another heart

00:07:39 - But I ain't too young to realize that I ain't too old to try

00:07:49 - Try to get back to the start

00:07:56 - And it's another red light nightmare

00:08:02 - Another red light straight

00:08:09 - And I ain't too old to hurry

00:08:13 - Cause I ain't too old to dive

00:08:17 - But I'm sure I'm hard to beat

00:08:23 - But I'm lonely

00:08:26 - But I'm lonely
