In the 80s, they couldn't get their own songs to become hits, but they were still writing them for other people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Promise61 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 For thirty odd years I thought it was Ellen Foley who does the spoken intro with Steinman on Meat's You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. It sounds EXACTLY like her. I would have bet the house on it. Turns out, it's an uncredited Marcia McClain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strange that........not because it isn't a brilliant album - it is, I bought it the day it came out and I’ve loved it ever since! After that they made one half decent album (FTATR) and after that? They pretty much made the same album ever since….to be fair, I can’t think of more than about four good songs since 1982. And there’s the thing…..their live set since 1981 has been Bon Scott era songs, Black In Black songs “FTATR” and maybe a couple off the latest album. AC/DC have made a 37 year career from one LP and a bunch of great songs from when they really were a great band. If AC/DC had played a live set from Back In Black and subsequent albums from 1981 onwards they’d still be playing the small halls UFO / Michael Schenker / Saxon & their other contemporaries are playing now. AC/DC are now Angus & a bunch of guys – almost a tribute band. They pretty much (apart from Black In Black and FTATR) died when Bon did. Strange, finally, because Back In Black isn't even the best AC/DC album..........it just about makes the top 5. RIP Bon Having said that............BITUSA is one of the top selling LPs and it isn't even in Bruce's top 5!! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If my memory is correct, Mark wrote the song when asked by her manager Roger Davies to assist on the album. He couldn't at the time due to other commitments, but wrote a song for her which ended up being the title track. The guitar on the track is played by Jeff Beck, who was deliberately trying to play the way he thought Mark might have done. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pregnant Sally Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Learned last night that Freddie Mercury wanted to keep his oversized overbite coz he had a four octave range and wanted to keep it. They were talking about the new Queen movie last night on the Gram Norton show (caught the repeat) and the main actor, who is awesome, said he kept his fake teeth in the whole time he was shooting the movie, on and off set.
