AC/DC's Highway to Hell: the sound of Christmas?


Excerpt:

1. It’s not an X Factor winner

There’s no getting round the fact that there are people who would buy an unreleased demo of Faust banging their kitchen pots together if they thought it would hamper the progress of the all-devouring X Factor machine. Hence the fact that every year, several potential opponents to the Cowell monolith are floated, with varying degrees of success.

2. It brooks no doubt

What Highway to Hell has in common with the song that first mobilised the anti-Cowell brigades, Rage Against the Machine’s Killing in the Name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWXazVhlyxQ), is a sense of certainty. There’s no melancholy, no self-reflection, no hint of doubt about either of these songs. Both offer a single, simple message. For Rage, it was “**** you, I won’t do what you tell me.” For AC/DC, it’s – well, do you even need me to tell you? – that “I’m on a highway to hell.” You don’t need to even care about music very much to have these choruses imprinted on your brain within seconds. My 10-year-old son is not a reflective boy: not for nothing, I suspect, is AC/DC by a distance his favourite band. He gets the point in seconds. Perfect, then, to rally as wide an audience as possible.
