Let There Be Rock, the purest and wildest statement from **AC/DC**

Let There Be Rock is a song by AC/DC, released in 1977 as the title track of the album of the same name. It represents the rawest and most direct essence of the band's hard rock. The lyrics narrate, in an almost biblical style, the birth of rock as if it were a divine act, with guitars, amplifiers, and volume as sacred elements.

Musically, it stands out for its fast tempo, simple riffs, and a long, explosive solo by Angus Young that became one of the most iconic moments of their concerts. The song wasn't a huge chart success, but it became a staple of their live repertoire and is considered a declaration of principles for unadulterated, commercially uncompromising hard rock.

Let There Be Rock symbolizes AC/DC's wildest era and is one of the songs that best defines their identity, based on energy, attitude, and extreme volume, making it an essential reference point within classic hard rock.
