Growing up as a kid in America, there’d be an AC/DC song being played at any sporting event that you would go to. They were always the soundtrack for some kind of something. But I didn’t start to appreciate them until I became friends with Ben [Gibbard, Death Cab For Cutie frontman] in college. His father is one of the biggest AC/DC fans of all time. Which is fantastic, but he has this thing for Bon Scott. He argues that Bon Scott is the greatest male rock vocalist of all time. So he sat me down and made me listen to a bunch of records, including Highway To Hell, and made me tapes of all these old albums. After listening to that record, I came around to his way of thinking. The thing I like about them is how straight-forward and simplistic they are in their approach to rock’n’roll. There’s not a lot of wanky showy guitar tricks or crazy time signatures. The subject matter is about rock’n’roll
