It’s a song that would spawn hundreds upon hundreds of clones… LITERALLY...I’m telling you everyone wanted to be just like AC/DC's fire-breathing guitarist Angus Young...Everyone wanted to sound like him, and yes, even dress like him. And you know what? That was a good thing. Because at this point in AC/DC's career, their commercial prospects were steadily declining. But then everything turned around with a surprise invitation from one of their biggest fans… who was also America’s most iconic author, Stephen King… He was diving into his big-screen directorial debut and wanted them to play the soundtrack to his film Maximum Overdrive. Now the movie wasn’t exactly Oscar material. But its headlining track, Who Made Who...that was something else entirely. It absolutely rocked. And it jumpstarted this band’s career after 3 rough albums. This is going to be a good one. The story is coming up… NEXT on the Professor of Rock. Brought to you by Skillshare.
