Well done. To all the haters, just shut your face. As is pointed out, this song has so many different fills that the work here is more than acceptable. When live, neither Mark nor Cliff has played this song to the exact original recording. Let this serve as a fantastic template for those wishing to learn the song. If people are that diehard about having it done the right way, just learn it and change the minor fills here and there.
On the end of the chorus bit, (like at 3:24) a little cool thing you can do is instead of playing c, d, c, d, c, g, d, a you could do this, c, d, e (on the a string), F#, G (on the a string) G (on the e string) d, a. I think Cliff does it live sometimes. Sorry if its not very clear.
Right Don! show us all how good you really are. Play the bassline to ACDC/s Thats the way I wanna rock n roll.Please note for note, not your own verson
how about you post a bassline, any bassline so I can see how good you are. I have 17 songs posted, you have none and yet you run your mouth like you know it all. Its easy to run your mouth but hard to back it up and apparently you cant back up shit.
Yep I Know Cliff didnt play on the originl version, that was Mark Evans. But cliffs been playing it for 36years now and the bassline Don/s playing is nothing like either Marks or Cliffs. All I/m saying is if Don was to listen to the tracks properly before just jumping in with his own jammed version it would sound alot better and Im sure Don would feel alot better in himself knowing he was copying something properly instead of looking a prat to diehard AC/DC fans.The best version is on donnington
sometimes I like putting my own little spin on songs, I guess maybe it sets me apart a bit from other bass players. I also don't think I have upset the entire world of diehard AC/DC fans by doing this. By all the other positive feed back from everyone else I think your just trying to get under my skin so why don't you just let it go.
Yes, George Young played the basslines on the '74 Australian album High Voltage. But the actual song High Voltage Mark Evans played. Because the song wasn't released on the 1974 High Voltage album it was released on the second album TNT in '75. And Mark Evans did all the basslines on TNT.

Narthen DON ! Are you actually listening to what your playing? your bass line is fuck all like the one Cliffs playing ( WANKER ! )

Actually, you're both wrong. George Young played all the basslines on High Voltage and Mark Evans played the songs live after they started touring.

cliff didnt join the band at this point in time. he joined on the powerage album in 1978. this came out in 1976
boredandglued91 3 years ago
Cliff joined in 1977 before Powerage was released. High Voltage was originally released in 1974, not 76.
