Shoot to Thrill
AC/DC Lyrics
All you women who want a man of the street
Don't know which way you wanna turn
Just keep a-coming and put your hand out to me
'Cause I'm the one who's gonna make you burn
I'm gonna take you down
Oh, down, down, down
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Too many women with too many pills, yeah
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
Yeah
I'm like evil, I get under your skin
Just like a bomb that's ready to blow
'Cause I'm illegal, I got everything
That all you women might need to know
I'm gonna take you down, yeah, down, down, down
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills, said
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill
I can't get enough and I can't get my fill
I shoot to thrill, play to kill
Yeah, pull the trigger
Pull it
Pull it, pull it, pull the trigger, yeah
Oh
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
I said, shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill
And I can't get enough, and I can't get my thrill
'Cause I shoot to thrill, play to kill
Yeah
Shoot you down
Yeah
I'm gonna get you down on the bottom, girl
Shoot you, I'm gonna shoot you
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna shoot you down, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna get you down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shoot you, shoot you, shoot you, shoot you down
Shoot you, shoot you, shoot you down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna shoot to thrill
Play to kill
Shoot to thrill, yeah
Oh yeah

"Shoot to Thrill" is a song by hard rock band AC/DC. It is the second track on the 1980 album Back in Black. This song is also the second track of AC/DC Live and AC/DC Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition, and is included on the Iron Man 2 soundtrack. Although the studio version was never released as a single, the song is a fan favorite and a staple on classic rock radio stations.
When explaining his lyrical inspiration for the song, lead singer and then-songwriter Read Full Bio"Shoot to Thrill" is a song by hard rock band AC/DC.

Although the studio version was never released as a single, the song is a fan favorite and a staple on classic rock radio stations.
When explaining his lyrical inspiration for the song, lead singer and then-songwriter Brian Johnson recalled reading a British article about a neighborhood pusher who made daily rounds (almost like a milkman) throughout the London suburbs, selling narcotics to bored, lonely and depressed housewives. These substance-effected homemakers would then peruse the local clubs and bars, seeking out torrid, extra-marital relationships. The term "shoot to thrill" most likely refers to certain solutions such as diazepam (valium), which is often administered via injection to treat anxiety and depression.
Lead guitarist Angus Young has recently commented that the song's "breakdown", which occurs soon after the main solo (a muted and repeating three chord sequence of A Major triad, G Major triad, and a D power-chord leading up to a bombastic outro-solo), was inspired by the trio gun-battle climax from Sergio Leone's classic, Italian western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. In this seminal scene, gun-fighters Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach stare one another down in the center of a Civil-War cemetery for minutes-on-end to an eventual shoot-out. Young said this sequence in the song was designed to mirror the actual soundtrack selection "Il Triello" by composer Ennio Morricone. Both compositions feature a slow quiet build-up, increasing in tension to a thunderous, cataclysmic finale.

Estuve en ese concierto en River Plate en el 2011. Tremendo show se mandaron, no lo voy a olvidar nunca. Fui con mi suegro que entonces tenia 70 años y tenia tantas ganas de ver AC/DC como yo, todos los chicos lo miraban y no entendian como una persona tan grande podia estar ahi, ojala llegue a esa edad con esa energia. Uno de los mejores shows que vi en mi vida.

Por más viejitos y viejitas así 😎👍, me acorde de la abuelita metalera chilena que hizo de todo por ir al concierto de Metallica, yo sé que Metallica no es del gusto de todos (yo prefiero más ACDC y Megadeth) pero igual muy genial sería tener un abuelo(a) así

El concierto fue en diciembre del 2009...
