"Highway to Hell" is the opening track of AC/DC's 1979 album ''Highway to Hell''. It was initially released as a single in 1979. The song was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott, with Angus Young credited for writing the guitar riff which became an instant classic.〔 AC/DC had made several studio albums before and were constantly promoting them via a grueling tour schedule, referred to by Angus Young as being on a highway to hell.〔 ==Background== The song's title reflects the incredibly arduous nature of touring constantly and life on the road. The single spent 45 weeks on the German Singles Chart, even though it peaked at only No. 30, in its 19th week on that chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Die ganze Musik im Internet: Charts, Neuerscheinungen, Tickets, Genres, Genresuche, Genrelexikon, Künstler-Suche, Musik-Suche, Track-Suche, Ticket-Suche - musicline.de )〕 Bon Scott, whose talent as a singer and rock frontman were at a peak, was found dead in the back of a friend's car, just over six months after the song was released and would never enjoy the band's incredible success that was to come.〔 "Highway to Hell" won the 'Most Played Australian Work Overseas' category at the 2009 APRA Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2009 Winners )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Highway to Hell (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
