"It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the first track of the group's album ''T.N.T.'', released in December 1975, and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott. The song is notable for combining bagpipes with hard rock instrumentation; in the middle section of the song there is a call and response between the bagpipes and guitar. The original recording is in B-flat major, but it was played live in A major.〔 A slightly shortened version of the song is also the first track on the international version of ''High Voltage'', released in May 1976. This version appears only on the vinyl release and the 2003 CD reissue. The full version of the song is also on the ''Volts'' CD of the ''Bonfire'' box set, released in 1997. This was a signature song for Scott. Current AC/DC lead vocalist Brian Johnson does not perform it, out of respect for his predecessor.〔("The legend lives on in a laneway to heaven" ), ''The Age'', 2005.

However, the band accepts these hardships as natural on the path to stardom, saying that "It's a long way to the top/If you wanna rock 'n' roll".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll) )〕 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「It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
