AC/DC - Hells Bells (Live)

Hells Bells Lyric


I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain
I'm comin' on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get you, Satan get you

Hell's Bells
Yeah, Hell's Bells
You got me ringing Hell's Bells
My temperature's high, Hell's Bells

I'll give you black sensations up and down your spine
If you're into evil you're a friend of mine
See my white light flashing as I split the night
'Cause if good's on the left, then I'm stickin' to the right

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's puttin' up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get you, Satan get you

Song Notes : "AC/DC recorded this a few months after lead singer Bon Scott drank himself to death. The album is a tribute to him, and features his replacement, Brian Johnson, on vocals"

"This is the first track on Back In Black, AC/DC's biggest album. It starts off with the church bells tolling 13 times in tribute to Scott"

"When this became a hit, AC/DC added a 2-ton bell to their stage show"

"The term "Hell's Bells" is an exclamation of surprise"

"The album was produced by John "Mutt" Lange who has also produced albums for Def Leppard. Mutt Lange produces for Shania Twain, who he is also married to"

Don Coleman's song "Women, Whiskey & Rock'n'Roll (celebrating the life and spirit of Bon Scott)" has been airing in 16 countries so far with the latest Network (BFBS) airing it to 12 countries at once.
The song has been well received globally and has been on AC/DC's website with the 'homage' video to Bon Scott (chosen by the band) for about 7 weeks and has had about 7000 viewings so far. www.acdc.com/fromtheband
It has received requests for copies from people like Bob Daisley, former bass player for Ozzy Osbourne, who was a friend of Bon, and also Vince Lovegrove who was a bandmate with Bon in The Valentines ( Vince introduced him to AC/DC). Susan Masino, published author of "Let There Be Rock" and Doug Thorncroft, President of the WA Bon Scott Fan Club both love the song and many of the 'cream of the crop' Aussie Legends who knew Bon say it's a 'ripper' that Bon would love.
