1651 - AC/DC Let Me Put My Love Into You 1980

Back in Black was recorded over seven weeks in the Bahamas in spring 1980. The area was hit by tropical storms at the time, making the sessions difficult at times. Johnson penned the album's lyrics and melodies, while guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young composed the music. Once more, Johnson uses weaponry as a metaphor for his junk, and when he gets to that "don't you struggle/ don't you fight" bit just before the chorus, a worrisome aggressiveness creeps in. But he does ask permission -- "Let me put my love into you, babe" -- and Angus woos with his sweet, pleading guitar solo. Johnson’s meaning is hard to misinterpret when he screams, “I got reputations/ Blown to pieces/ With my artillery,” his voice soaring like flaming shrapnel over the exploding drums. The unapologetic onslaught fell perfectly into step with the band’s previously established reputation as hardcore musical miscreants. Violent and vulgar, it’s a fitting tribute to hellish archangel Scott.
