Because in America anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

You’re half right Klaus.
There were plenty of bands that went that way back then, Deep Purple for example – with Ronnie James Dio, etc. I accept them as they are. Holy Water is a fairly easy song to figure out on a six string.
Now if only the guitar chick ripped off her dirndl and played in a black sequined string bikini I might watch it to the end.
Now do it mariachi style.
Here’s a video of “Highway to Hell” in, get this .. hard rock style. Check out that lead guitarist decked out like a British schoolboy acting like a total spazz. Hilarious.
You know, if you get past his antics, he’s actually pretty good
