The AC/DC “Hell’s Bell” first graced the AC/DC live stage in support
of the “Back in Black” world tour in 1980. This was the band’s 7th studio album
and the 1st with new frontman Brian Johnson. For anyone associated with that
tour, it quickly became clear that this was not just another stage prop. It
was, in fact, a 1300kgs bronze colossus that actually smashed through many
concert stages during load-in as it was wheeled into position in the custom
road case. This bell was special, as it was not only an amazing sight during
live performances, but it was the very same that was rang out (13) times on the
“Hells Bell” track on the album.
