Onslaught - Let There Be Rock (AC/DC Cover)

In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said -

'Let there be light', and there was light
'Let there be sound', and there was sound
'Let there be drums', and there was drums
'Let there be guitar', and there was guitar
'Let there be rock'

And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowing up a storm
The guitarman got famous
The businessman got rich
And in every bar there was a super star
With a seven year itch
There were fifteen million fingers
Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers picking
And this is what they had to say

'Let there be light'
'Sound'
'Drums'
'Guitar'
'Let there be rock'

One night in a club called `The Shaking Hand'
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
The music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -

'Let there be rock'

This is a great ACDC song, This cover is good but i don't get the same feeling as when i listen to ACDC's obviously

[ace69er]

Of course, AC/DC had an attitude all their own.

thats AUSSIE rockers for ya!

[drunkenpillock]

and the white man had the schmalz

or not?

[MellorDrumatix]

Great tracks all the in search of sanity ones. pitty some muppet has cut them all short!

[REDHILL67]

The original release of this as a 45rpm demo b-side was better and much heavier!

[LOLsensation]

people dont mess up. a cover doesnt have to be exact to the original. I personally like this cover because it's pure onslaught style. When i listened to acdc's song i always thought how the song would be in a metal way. Thanks to onslaught now i know :D

[GuitarRiffs13]

he sings some notes too long, that ruins the hole thing a little bit

[acdcguy18]

@celticurse Good point. AC/DC is called by many as, "the pioneers of metal" after they released their Fly on the Wall album ('85), which is considered their first metal album. So it makes sence in the end.

@acdcguy18 well in a strange way it makes sense though, because without rock we probably wouldn't have heavy metal. but then again in the same way if it wern't for blue/jazz or I don't think we'd have rock either lol but thats looking too much into it.

Garbage. Let Bon do the singing.

[acdcguy18]

Interesting cover.

Half as long, half as good.

It doesn't make sense for a metal band to do this song, mostly 'cause this is called "Let There Be Rock" and they're metal. Ironic.
