Powerage

Reseña

"Powerage" es el quinto álbum de estudio en la discografía de AC/DC y fue lanzado internacionalmente el 5 de mayo de 1978 bajo el sello Atlantic. Fue el primer álbum de la banda australiana que incluyó a Cliff Williams en el bajo, y también fue el primer álbum de AC/DC en no tener una canción principal. "Powerage" fue relanzado en 2003 como parte de la serie AC/DC Remasters.

Después del inicio de una gira europea de 12 conciertos como teloneros de Black Sabbath en abril de 1977, el bajista Mark Evans fue despedido de AC/DC un mes más tarde, a petición de los hermanos Young y fue sustituido por el inglés Cliff Williams, quien anteriormente había tocado con Home and Bandit. Tras pasar unas audiciones en las que también mostró cualidades para los coros, fue contratado por la banda.

Con este cambio en la formación, la banda realizó una gira por Estados Unidos (la primera en el continente americano), en una gira en la que tocaron en Nueva York y Los Ángeles, entre otras ciudades. En diciembre de ese mismo año tocaron ante una reducida audiencia frente a la sede de los estudios en Atlantic Recording Studios de Nueva York, una actuación que fue retransmitida en vivo por la emisora Radio WIOQ de Filadelfia y presentado por Ed Sciaky.

Tras esta promoción, la banda regresó a los estudios de grabación para preparar un nuevo trabajo, el que sería su quinto álbum, titulado "Powerage". El álbum se estrenó con el sencillo "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation", lanzado en junio de 1978 y la primera pista de su nuevo álbum. La cara B para Australia de este sencillo fue "Cold Hearted Man", aunque en Europa y Japón la canción seleccionada para esta cara B fue "Sin City".

    letra de Down Payment Blues

    I know that it's evil
    I know that it's got to be
    I know I ain't doing much
    Doing nothing means a lot to me
    Living on a shoe string
    A fifty cent millionaire
    Open to charity
    Rock 'n' roller welfare
    Sitting in my Cadillac
    Listening to my radio
    Suzy baby get on in
    Tell me where she want to go
    I'm living in a nightmare
    She's looking like a wet dream
    I got myself a Cadillac
    But I can't afford the gasoline
    [Chorus]:
    I've got holes in my shoes
    And I'm way overdue
    Down payment blues
    Get myself a steady job
    Some responsibility
    Can't even feed my cat
    On social security
    Hiding from the rent man
    Oh it makes me want to cry
    Sheriff knocking on my door
    Ain't it funny how the time flies
    Sitting on my sailing boat
    Sipping off my champagne
    Suzy baby all at sea
    Say she want to come again
    Feeling like a paper cup
    Floating down a storm drain
    Got myself a sailing boat
    But I can't afford a drop of rain
    [Chorus]

    letra de Gimme a Bullet

    She had the word
    Had the way
    The way of letting me know
    She knew the game
    Called the play
    Oh she hit me low
    She said, "Now you go your way
    I'll go mine
    And that's a start"
    Doctor, doctor
    Ain't no cure
    For the pain in my heart
    [Chorus]
    Gimme a bullet to bite on
    Something to chew
    Gimme a bullet to bite on
    And I'll make believe
    I'll make believe it's you
    Don't need no drink
    Don't need no drug
    Don't need no sympathy
    Sooner or later
    Send me a bill
    For what she's doing to me
    Operator
    Long distance lips
    On the telephone
    Come tomorrow
    Come to grips
    With me all alone
    [Chorus]
    Bullet to bite on

    letra de Riff Raff

    See it on television every day
    Hear it on the radio
    It ain't humid but it sure is hot
    Down in Mexico
    Boss man tryin' to tell me
    Beginnin' of the end
    Sayin' it'll bend me
    Too late my friend
    Riff raff
    It's good for a laugh
    Riff raff
    Laugh yourself in half
    Now I'm the kind of guy that keeps his big mouth shut
    It don't bother me
    Somebody kickin' me when I'm up
    Leaves me in misery
    I never shot nobody
    Don't even carry a gun
    I ain't doin' nothin' wrong
    I'm just havin' fun
    Riff raff
    It's good for a laugh
    Riff raff
    Laugh yourself in half

    letra de Sin City

    Diamonds, and dust
    Poor man last, rich man first
    Lamborghinis, caviar
    Dry martini, Shangi-La
    I've got a burnin' feelin'
    Deep inside of me
    It's yearnin'
    But I'm gonna set it free
    I'm goin' in
    To Sin City
    I'm gonna win
    In Sin City
    Where the lights are bright
    Do the town tonight
    I'm gonna win
    In Sin City
    Oh, let me roll you baby!
    Ladders and snakes
    Ladders give, snakes take
    Rich man poor man
    Beggar man, thief
    Ain't got a hope in hell
    That's my belief
    Fingers Freddie, Diamond Jim
    They're gettin' ready
    Look out! I'm comin' in!
    So spin that wheel, cut that pack
    And roll those loaded dice
    Bring on the dancing girls
    And put the champagne on ice
    I'm goin' in
    To Sin City
    I'm gonna win
    In Sin City
    Where the lights are bright
    Do the town tonight
    I'm goin' in
    To Sin City

    letra de Up to My Neck in You

    Well I've been up to my neck in trouble
    Up to my neck in strife
    Up to my neck in misery
    For most of my life, I've been a fool
    And you know what a fool can do
    I'm telling you
    You came along when I needed you
    Now I'm up,
    I'm up to my neck in you
    And I've been up to my neck in pleasure
    Up to my neck in pain
    I've been up to my neck on the railroad track
    Waitin' for the train
    To cruise on through
    Baby my time was due, oh it's way overdue
    You came along and pulled me through
    Now I'm up
    Up to my neck in you
    Don't it feel good
    I've been up to my neck in whiskey
    I've been up to my neck in wine
    I've been up to my neck in wishin'
    That this neck wasn't mine
    I'm a loser, that ain't lost it
    Baby you were too good, too good to be true
    What you done no one else could do
    Now I'm up
    I'm up to my neck in you
    It feels good
    Yeah you came along when I needed you
    I'm up to my neck in you

    letra de Kicked in the Teeth

    Two faced woman with the two faced lies
    I hope your two faced living made you satisfied
    Tell me baby I was your only one
    While you've been running around town with every mother's son
    Told your story about the women like you
    Told your story about the things you do
    I used to think that you were sugar and spice
    I should've listened to my mother's advice
    [Chorus]
    Kicked in the teeth again
    Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
    Kicked in the teeth again
    Ain't this misery ever gonna end?
    And I've been kicked in the teeth
    Kicked in the teeth again
    Two faced woman, such a crying shame
    Don't know nothing, you're all the same
    You run around, hope you had your fun
    You never know who's gonna win till the race been run
    [Chorus]

  1. juan: este trabajo de la epoca de bon scott.está a la altura de su predecesor,quizas sea su trabajo menos conocido en su primera etapa,pero tiene 3 clasicos ,que tocan en sus concierto.
  2. Luis: Un gran disco, lástima que todas las canciones de ese album son olvidadas y no son de las mas tocadas en sus conciertos. sin duda es de los trabajos más infravalorados de la banda
