Is there a more iconic opening to a classic rock song than the bell tolling at the beginning of ‘Hells Bells’ by AC/DC? The song the first track off AC/DC’s first album without Bon Scott, Back in Black and the second single from that classic album which was released in the fall of 1980.  In the video, the song starts off with a massive church bell slowly tolling four times, after which Angus Young starts playing the song’s main guitar riff, then Malcolm Young then joins in, followed by Phil Rudd on drums and last, but not least, Cliff Williams on bass.

Song Trivia: During the entire introduction the bell tolls a total of 13 times!

Here it is, the official music video from 1980, AC/DC’s classic rock anthem, ‘Hells Bells’.
