Mutt Lange gave a series of talks/interviews with BMI (songwriters assoc)
where he talked about working with AC/DC.
He was brought in to break the band big in the U.S. He wanted to record live, keep the excitement. After Scott was done singing, every song ended with a rave-up/freak out with Angus blazing ahead and the band following. Band members would eventuaLLY drop off and Angus would be left wailing. These raveups would be longer tHan the originAL SONG. Lange collected hours and hours of this and made the band listen. He wanted that energy in the 3-5 minute songs. They also listen to alot of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and other Chess blues/rock to harness the 3-5 minute structure.
