AC/DC - Let there be rock

AC DC


AC/DC es un grupo de hard rock que se formó en Sídney (Australia) en 1973 por los hermanos escoceses Malcolm y Angus Young.

Su primer concierto se llevó a cabo la noche de fin de año de 1973, coincidiendo con el lanzamiento de su sencillo Can I Sit Next to You Girl, cuyo cantante era Dave Evans.

Al principio se hicieron famosas sus actuaciones en vivo, gracias en parte al extravagante estilo de su guitarrista principal, Angus Young, generalmente vestido con uniforme de colegial en los conciertos. En 1976, con el lanzamiento del disco Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap se introdujo el nuevo cantante Bon Scott que marcaría una gran huella en la banda.

Let there be Rock


Let There Be Rock es una canción de la banda australiana de hard rock AC/DC. Es la tercera pista y el título de su álbum Let There Be Rock, publicado en marzo de 1977, y fue escrita por Angus Young, Malcolm Young, y Bon Scott.

También fue lanzado como single, con un lado B de Problem Child, en 1977.

Letra


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"
