The Meaning Behind Shot In The Dark By AC/DC

The song is also the first the group has released since the death of Malcolm Young in 2017.

When he died, Malcolm left behind plenty of material that he co-wrote with his brother, Angus Young.

So it was a case of contacting everyone to see if we’d all be on board."

Angus says “Shot in the Dark” is a pretty classic AC/DC song.

“It’s a good rock ‘n’ roll track with a good hooky chorus.

You hear it straight away and you know that’s AC/DC” (via USA Today).

Guitarist Angus Young toldUltimate Classic Rockthat the album is AC/DC in all the ways fans love the most.

“As soon as it starts up, straight away, it’s AC/DC.

And that’s what we’ve always been about.”
