an album that was released in 1980, currently the sixth best selling album from the fifth best selling band ever. The song was written to celebrate Bon Scott the way he lived - by rocking hard. *Not a metal album! AC/DC has publicaly detested the metal genre in many interviews!!!* It is still a memorial song, so no matter how many times the lame-brain Beastie Boys try to get the rights to "spin" it, they never will!!!
BIB is registered as a Double Diamond seller. Let's see a rapper beat that.

an song that people use as an excuse to like ac/dc, when they haven't heard any other songs or bought their albums.
Real Fan:"hey do you like ac/dc?"

Twat:"Yeah back in black is a great song, their my favourite band ever!:

Real Fan:"Heard any of their other stuff?"

Twat:"Errr...what other stuff?"

going back to what you know.
trying something out, but realizing it wasn't for you, and going back to what you know. black has more of a lower connotation to it - versus going back to "white."
got into a relationship and changed aspects of the way you live and your life. got out of the relationship (exonerated yourself, more like it) and going back to your life (just the way YOU like it) = back to black.

going back to your ex, because that's what you know = back to black.

giving up staying straight, and giving in to your addiction = back to black.

An AC/DC album. "Back In Black" is one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time.
AC/DC's "Back In Black" kicks the shit out of any music made today!

no more faking the funk - accepting yourself for the way you are. not trying to change for the better for other people's eyes and perceptions. coming back from trying to change your life for someone else, to just being who you are. people may have a problem with the way you live your life, but that's ok, because you love yourself.

An album made in 1980 shortly after the death of Bon Scott. The song itself is a tribute that bypasses normal memorial limitations and celebrates Bon's life the way he lived-by rocking.
Back in Black was a title already decided before Bon Scott died.
