Kisser quotes that "Back in Black" hit the shelves in a "year that opens a decade that changed the world forever" and mentions some historical facts from that period. Then he comments that he already heard bands like Kiss and Queen when he met Led Zeppelin and AC / DC.

"Seeing Kiss live is the reason I'm here"
"Queen came to Brazil in 1981, but my mother wouldn't let me go to the show. I was very young and nobody from home wanted to take me. In 1983, Kiss came to do shows around the country and in São Paulo I went. It changed my life. I remember that before Kiss entered, while the crowd entered the stadium, only AC / DC rolled in the boxes. It was the albums Back in Black and For Those About to Rock, the band's most recent. Listening to Back in Black now as I write this text takes me back to that very special moment in my life, all very exciting and new, what a good time, "he said.
Then, the guitarist describes "Back in Black" as "a refined record, very well produced and that sounds like it was made yesterday". "Hells Bells" is defined as "slow and very dense, almost like a 'Bolero' by Ravel", while "You Shook Me All Night Long", according to him, "shows a new AC / DC, more 'pop' with more possibilities of playing on the radio and winning over an audience that until then didn't care about AC / DC ".
