“Hells Bells” is the opening track from AC/DC’s 1980 album Back in Black, the band's first with vocalist Brian Johnson following the death of Bon Scott. The track features its unforgettable opening with a one-ton bronze bell specially cast in England by John Taylor & Co., becoming one of the most recognizable introductions in rock history.
The song was conceived as AC/DC's tribute to Bon Scott, setting the sombre tone before the explosive energy of Back in Black. The original bell later became one of the band's most iconic stage props, dramatically descending above the stage during live performances and remaining a centrepiece of their concerts for decades.
“Fortunate Son” is from Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 album Willy and the Poor Boys. The sharp, anti-war rock track became one of the most powerful protest songs of the Vietnam era and a permanent part of American rock history. Released alongside "Down on the Corner" as a double A-sided single, it helped the record reach #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Fogerty wrote the song after seeing a magazine photo of Julie Nixon (daughter of President Richard Nixon) marrying David Eisenhower (grandson of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower).
