"Hells Bells" is the first track of the album Back in Black of Australian hard 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. While rumors suggest that many of the lyrics on "Hells Bells" were written by Scott, AC/DC's members have said that the song was entirely composed by Angus Young, Brian Johnson and Malcolm Young.

The song starts off with the ominous slow tolling of a bell 13 times and an intro. 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. Soon after the second chorus, Angus Young starts playing one of the best-known guitar solos.

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, within earshot of Big Ben, after choking on his own vomit due to an alcohol induced coma 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. (Thanks Wikipedia)
