Canciones para una vida - AC/DC - Let There Be Rock

LET  THERE  BE  ROCK

Volviendo hoy de nuevo a la época previa a lo que se puede considerar como Heavy metal como tal, es decir, fijandonos de nuevo en las raices de nuestro sonido, el electrizante e hiper rítmico concepto de los australianos AC/DC no deben faltar, y hoy en concreto quiero fijarme en su cuarto disco de estudio "Let there be rock", grabado en 1977, y que solo en Estados Unidos vendió más de dos millones de copias. Hablar de esta banda es hacerlo de una de las grandes bandas e influencia, grupo al que tantos músicos escucharon y después incluso imitaron, un concepto propio tan reconocible con especial. Como digo un valor seguro sobre todo en la década de los setenta desde la perspectiva de la contribución desde su visión al heavy metal como sonido amplio y global. De este disco dejo hoy en el blog el tema que lo da nombre, "Let there be rock" del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

In the beginning
Back in 1955
Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive

The white man had the schmaltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tschaikovsky had the news, he said

Let there be sound, and there was sound
Let there be light, and there was light
Let there be drums, there was drums
Let there be guitar, there was guitar
Oh, let there be rock!

And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowin' up a storm

And the guitar man got famous
The business man got rich
And in every bar there was a superstar
With a seven year itch

There was fifteen million fingers
Learnin' how to play
And you could hear the fingers pickin'
And this is what they had to say

Let there be light, sound, drums, guitar
Oh, let there be rock!

One night in a club called the Shakin' Hand
There was a 42 decibel rockin' band
And the music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd:
"Let there be rock"
