Laura CragoUNKNOWN
Eh.
Jake AdamsHOST
Yeah, it's a Long Way to the Top if you, if you wanna rock and roll.
Jake AdamsHOST
I was right.
Laura CragoUNKNOWN
They have bagpipes in it?
Old HeadHOST
But I actually prefer this one, 'cause of the combination of all the tracks.
Old HeadHOST
Um, "A Long Way to the Top," "Rock and Roll Singer," "The Jack," "Live Wire," "T.N.T." I mean, it's like a, it's, it's-
Eddie SparksHOST
[laughs]
Old HeadHOST
... got a lot of fucking bangers on it.
Gavin MaloneHOST
Do you know the Ecstasy? This-
Dave FerraroGUEST
Well, even before that, when Long Way to the Top started-
Gavin MaloneHOST
Okay
Dave FerraroGUEST
... um, a few weeks before these shows started, Metallica put out a social media post that said, "Hey, if you're going to these shows-
Dave FerraroGUEST
And they're specific to the, like, the shows that you're going to.
Gavin MaloneHOST
Yeah.
Dave FerraroGUEST
And so Lo- and but we didn't know what was gonna happen with them or when we might or might not see them or whatever, uh, until Long Way to the Top started.
Dave FerraroGUEST
And then the screen went blank for a second, and then pictures started showing up.
Jamie NyeHOST
We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister could have been the one.
Jamie NyeHOST
Uh, Darren says Long Way to the Top if you wanna rock and roll by AC/DC.
Jamie NyeHOST
Um, yeah, a l- a lot more went to the, uh, the, like the team isn't playing well rather than the anger side of things.
Jamie NyeHOST
Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit.
Chris BrownHOST
Hold on a second.
Chris BrownHOST
Even better than It's a Long Way to the Top if you Wanna Rock 'n' Roll, AC/DC? I know that-
Steve TaskerHOST
Yes
Chris BrownHOST
... it's like one of your personal favorites.
Steve TaskerHOST
There is no song that gets me-
Chris BrownHOST
...
Chris BrownHOST
Long Way to the Top
Steve TaskerHOST
... like this song does.
Clint WellsHOST
Mm.
Sean GormanGUEST
Long Way to the Top.
Sean GormanGUEST
And that is the same as the 72 Seasons where they have all the pictures with the fans, the pictures of them from the past, but it's just gigantic, you know? You- you're getting fucking psyched.
Sean GormanGUEST
You're getting fucking psyched.
59 MINS LATER
Clint WellsHOST
I do feel like Turn the Page could have some cool imagery.
Sean GormanGUEST
Yeah, like, you know, that's the thing.
Sean GormanGUEST
Like, even if they can clearly put pictures, you know, 'cause they did, uh, for, you know, Long Way to the Top.
Sean GormanGUEST
Yeah, how about just some, just throw some old photos through the years of you guys up there? That, I, I would've loved that.
Theo VonHOST
W- what else do they sing, AC/DC? Um..
Joe RoganGUEST
"Long Way to the Top."
Theo VonHOST
Yeah.
Joe RoganGUEST
"Back in Black."
Joel LavelleGUEST
Ah.
Ben EisenHOST
[laughs] This is It's a Long Way to the Top If You Wanna Rock and Roll.
Joel LavelleGUEST
Nice.
Ben EisenHOST
Yeah.
Joel LavelleGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Ben EisenHOST
[laughs] And then later they say, "Getting old, getting gray, getting ripped off, underpaid, getting sold secondhand.
Ben EisenHOST
That's how it goes playing in a band 'cause it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll." AC/DC's Bon Scott as well as the young brothers, Angus and Malcolm, were all born in Scotland, um, and emigrated to Australia.
Ben EisenHOST
Um, in an interview, uh, bass player Mark Evans recalled that when the producer asked about adding bagpipes to the song, he knew that Bon had been in a pipe band, so he asked him to, uh, go get a set.
Dave GleesonGUEST
Oh, look, it, it's always the same for me.
Dave GleesonGUEST
Long Way to the Top is, uh-
Laura O'CallaghanHOST
Yeah
Dave GleesonGUEST
... basically an autobiographical song of my life.
Matt MuellerGUEST
That's a good one.
Matt MuellerGUEST
Long Way to the Top.
Josh PetersonHOST
That's a good one.
Josh PetersonHOST
If you want to rock and roll, it's ACDC right there.
