About This Footage

In the dimly lit, smoke-filled studios of 1987 France, AC/DC was conjuring up magic. The Blow Up Your Video recording sessions were a time of experimentation and creativity for the iconic rock band. Among the outtakes and demos from this era is a treasure trove of rare footage, recently unearthed by AC/DC Portugal.

The footage in question, "AC/DC - Blow Up Your Outtakes (1987 Demos)", clocks in at 27:29 minutes, offering an intimate glimpse into the band's creative process. At the time, AC/DC was riding high on the success of their 1985 album, Fly On The Wall, and were gearing up for their next major release. This footage is a rare treat for fans, providing a unique perspective on the band's songwriting and recording techniques.

Alice Suki Waterhouse, an English actress, singer, and model, may not be directly associated with AC/DC, but her name appears in the metadata as "let i". It's unclear what connection she has to this footage, but it's possible that she was involved in some capacity during the recording sessions. Regardless of her involvement, the focus remains on the band and their music.

The demos included in this footage are a mix of familiar tracks and lesser-known outtakes. The opening track, "That's The Way I Wanna Rock 'N' Roll", sets the tone for what's to come – raw energy and unbridled enthusiasm. Brian Johnson's vocals, boosted and cleaned up for this release, shine through with renewed clarity. The audio enhancements also bring a newfound depth to Angus Young's signature riffs.

One of the standout tracks is "Borrowed Time", which showcases the band's ability to craft catchy hooks and memorable melodies. This song would later become a fan favorite, but in its demo form, it's clear that AC/DC was still experimenting with its sound. The same can be said for "Let I Loose", which features a haunting guitar riff and Brian Johnson's emotive vocals.

The inclusion of "Snake Eye" is particularly interesting, as it marks one of the band's earliest attempts at incorporating more experimental sounds into their music. This song would eventually evolve into something entirely different, but in its demo form, it's clear that AC/DC was pushing the boundaries of what rock music could be.

For fans of AC/DC, this footage is a must-see. It offers a unique glimpse into the band's creative process and provides valuable insight into their songwriting and recording techniques. Even for those unfamiliar with the band, this footage is a testament to the enduring power of rock music and its ability to transcend time.

As the camera pans across the studio, capturing the sweat-drenched faces of Angus Young and Brian Johnson, it's clear that these were musicians on a mission – driven by their passion for creating something truly special. Watching "AC/DC - Blow Up Your Outtakes (1987 Demos)" is like being transported back to a time when rock music was raw, unbridled, and full of possibility.
