Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the song "Hells Bells", how many times does the gong sound?

Answer: 13

"Hells Bells" is on the 1980 album "Back In Black". This topped the charts selling 10 million copies in one year. As of 2006, 44 million copies have been sold. The final two gong sounds in the song are difficult to hear because Angus has already started playing the guitar.

2. What was the purpose of the song "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution"?

Answer: AC/DC wrote it as a "bug off" to all critics

You can read about this in the booklet that comes with the "Back In Black" album. AC/DC has never cared about what other bands think of them and have never been insecure about how they rock. "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" in my opinion is an even better sign off than "For Those About To Rock".

3. Finish the lyrics from the song "Spellbound". "Ohh I'm spellbound. My world..."

Answer: keeps tumbling down

This is one of my favorite songs off "For Those About To Rock".

4. According to AC/DC, where does evil sleep?

Answer: beside you

This is from the song "Evil Walks" on the album "For Those About To Rock".
Lyrics: "Evil walks behind you. Evil SLEEPS BESIDE YOU. Evil talks around you. Ohhhhhhh, evil walks."

5. Which AC/DC song states that you shouldn't talk to strangers?

Answer: Danger

"Don't talk to no stranger in this town!" This is off the 1985 album "Fly On The Wall".

Answer: No

"Who made who. Who made you. Who made who. Oh, ain't nobody told you." This is from the title track of the 1986 album "Who Made Who".

7. "Who Made Who" is a soundtrack for a movie.
