Friday, February 16: AC/DC, "Squealer"
R.I.P. Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (1946-1980), Malcolm Young (1953-2017)
Before they blew the doors off with Let There Be Rock, AC/DC was a much slinkier and gnarlier affair. Yes, they had a way with hooks and groove from the beginning, but there was also a seediness that, while never totally disappearing, did seem to get sanded away a bit and replaced with more mischievous good cheer. But “Squealer” gave off real menace, beginning with its lurching backbeat and ominous chords and extending to Bon Scott’s threatening whisper and a chorus that wasn’t so much chanted as coughed and belched. This sounded especially unwashed, even for AC/DC, and actually lent some credence to the perception that these guys really were hooligans that quite possibly worshiped Satan. It was unkempt and shaggy, and not inconsequentially one of the last times they would sound quite this squalid, since just one year later they would tighten up considerably and begin a remarkable hot streak.
