"Hells Bells" [sic][1] is the first track of the album Back in Black of Australianhard rock band AC/DC. It is to this day one of their most well known songs, being the first on their comeback album after the death of the iconic vocalist Bon Scott, introducing his replacement Brian Johnson to a worldwide fanbase for the first time. The song starts off with the ominous slow tolling of a bell 4 times and an intro. After that, it goes for another 9 times. Eventually the bassist Cliff Williams and the drummer Phil Rudd start playing. The lyrics, sung by Brian Johnson, explain how the narrator will attack, comparing his actions with natural phenomena such as rain, thunders and hurricanes. This song also appears on the Maximum Overdrive soundtrack, Who Made Who, and both versions of the 1992 live album AC/DC Live. The song Hells Bells was written to commemorate the death of AC/DC's lead singer Bon Scott. He was found dead in his car following a night of serious binge drinking. Thus, the bell at the beginning of the song is like a farewell fanfare for the departed Scott. The song is also used by San Diego Padres closer Trevor Hoffman as entrance music.
