Thunderstruck is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released as the lead single from their twelfth studio album The Razors Edge (1990).
Angus Young stated in the liner notes of the 2003 re-release of The Razors Edge: It started off from a little trick I had on guitar.
[6] The song is one of the most recognizable in the band's entire catalogue and it is a set list staple having been performed at nearly all shows since its release.
With the exception of new material from albums they are touring behind, it is one of only four songs released after Back in Black (1980) that are still performed live by the band.
The video which accompanied the single, directed by David Mallet, was filmed at London's Brixton Academy on 17 August 1990.
In an email sent to Finnish computer security expert, Mikko Hypponen of F-Secure, one of the scientists involved in the nuclear program was quoted as saying:[60] ...There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out.
