Robert John Hadfield finally does something he’s been wanting to do for a long time: he opens an AC/DC album on camera that he never owned on vinyl… until now. But this isn’t just an unboxing — it turns into a full-on argument for why “Highway to Hell” might be the greatest rock anthem of all time, and why that entire era of AC/DC had a swagger and electricity that still hits like a stadium PA at full blast.
Along the way, Robert digs into the “producer who almost wasn’t” story — how Mutt Lange ended up behind the board after Eddie Kramer (yes, that Eddie Kramer: Hendrix, Zeppelin, and classic KISS) was originally slated to produce the record. And then it gets even better: Robert reads a 1979 rock review from Papua New Guinea that’s hilarious, oddly poetic, and accidentally prophetic about how this album would age like a fine wine… at maximum acceptable decibel toleration.
