Jona Weinhofen, Bring Me The Horizon Baby Please Don't Go (cover)
"AC/DC's rendition of blues song Baby Please Don't Go Is always a party favourite for us!. They managed to take an absolute classic rock song and improve on it tenfold! Bon's voice gives the track that extra grit and attitude, and Angus's trademark tapping and guitar solo in the extended middle eight are a brilliant addition making the song their own. Another highlight is the escalating buildup to closing out the song with that classic riff. Always kick off shuffle on the iPod with this ripper!"

Jenna McDougall, Tonight Alive - For Those About To Rock

"I dont think AC/DC could have been a bigger part of my childhood unless my Dad had actually been a member. He tested me on their discography, members names and song titles as if it were vital, general knowledge for a six year-old. I think the reason For Those About To Rock stands out to me is because of its empowering feel consistent throughout the music and vocals. I always found the contrast between the sense of doom in the guitar progression and the chorus lyric 'We Salute You' to be so powerful. Both Brian Johnson and Angus Young provided a lot of motivation for me to become a good musician from a really young age. I started playing guitar at 10 and all I wanted was a maroon Gibson SG but ended up with a sunburst Ashton instead (no complaints Mum and Dad, the Marshall amp made up for it). AC/DC made me proud to be Australian and to have Scottish heritage. Seeing them live in a football stadium in Sydney a couple of years ago really was the cherry on top of an upbringing on their music. In the chorus of 'For Those' they fired canons and it was just so appropriate."
