Back in black is the tittle track from AC/DC’s best selling album released in 1980. With the album came a lot of changes for the band, not only a new vocalist but it was their final step into being a mega famous band. The intro riff, as seen in the AC/DC Back in black guitar tabs below, is very famous and was tribute to their former singer who died the year before.
VH1 once named it the second best hard rock or heavy metal song of all time. No wonder, it is very good, catchy and easy to remember. The first two notes is enough and you know what song the radio is playing. The AC/DC back in black guitar tabs are always fun to play and it is a song that is always a hit on parties. No wonder why bands like Red hot chilli peppers, Kid Rock, Shakira, Beastie boys and others have covered it or used samples from it.
