Sobre el álbum
Tras ocho largos años de silencio discográfico, Black ice supuso un regreso triunfal y masivo para la banda, demostrando que el mundo seguía teniendo hambre de su rock and roll. El álbum fue un éxito comercial rotundo en todo el planeta, debutando en el número uno en decenas de países. Producido por Brendan O'Brien, el disco presenta un sonido potente y claro que equilibra perfectamente su crudeza tradicional con una producción moderna.
El primer single, "Rock 'n' Roll Train", con su riff pegadizo y su estribillo de estadio, se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo, demostrando que la banda seguía en plena forma. El álbum es notablemente largo para sus estándares, con quince canciones que exploran diferentes facetas de su sonido. Por ejemplo, "Big Jack" es un rock de ritmo medio contundente, mientras que "Anything Goes" muestra un lado sorprendentemente melódico.
La gira mundial que siguió al lanzamiento del álbum fue una de las más exitosas de la historia, consolidando su estatus de leyenda viva. "Black ice" es la prueba de que, incluso después de más de treinta y cinco años de carrera, la fórmula de AC/DC seguía siendo infalible. Es un álbum de regreso vibrante y enérgico que satisfizo plenamente a su legión de seguidores.

Letra
The storm is raging, Winds are howling, The water's calling, rescue you, A flash of lightning, At times a frightening, A wind is coming, and the sun don't shine, Rainy day, May day, May day, stormy rain day, Rain day, May day, May day, stormy rain day, Stormy May day, The sky is darkening, The dogs are barking, A call for help you hope they get you through, A clap of thunder, A split us under, The people running, and the moon doth rise, Rain day, May day, May day, stormy rain day, Rain day, May day, rain day, stormy May day, Rain day, May day, rain day, stormy May day - Decibel3:33

Take up all your time, Kick up your heels, lookin' fine, And you come riding blind, You come rollin' back a while, Wind blowin' on ya, We're gonna move on and on, Sweating heat, soak you all, Being out will make you crawl all night Decibel, decibel, Has you from deep inside, You were waving then you smiled, Give me rock and roll, They're in love, Love, in the rain, They're in there rocking standing proud Decibel, That's the history of rock and roll, Decibel Rain is coming on, We're gonna ride along, A hundred miles in all, Getting in night til dawn, Spread the joy going on, Yeah, hard and long, Staring down, with a shock hit the ground, Decibel, Decibel, Decibel, You come rolling back a while, Decibel, Decibel - Wheels3:28

Got a taste of a rocking band, Standing there holding out your hand, Better lock up all your doors, She's like a spinning dynamo, You're handing out the token prize, Giving you a brand new ride, Oh there she goes, she goes, And nobody knows where she goes, Banging drums, working out all fast, Heavy tune I can play it loud, You know she's blowing away all the others, You're never man enough take it on all night, You better razzle dazzle on that stage, Keep on rocking all through the night, Oh there she goes, she goes, And nobody knows, Where she goes she goes, A heavy rocking tune is playing, Playing as the night rolls on, Sneaking off with the Romeo, Where she goes, nobody knows A heavy rocking tune is playing on a flat screen color TV, Sneaking over creepy crawly, never give it up to take it out through the night, There she goes she goes, and nobody knows [Repeat: x4] Where she goes she goes - Big Jack3:57

The steam is a burning, Workin' up and down the line, The pot is getting ready, He's been working it so hard, When it comes to lovin', Big jack is on his way, Wink of satisfaction, His time is going on, I'm like a bad defender, Smoking holy Joe, He's a big pretender, look out for jack, He's on his way [Chorus] Big Jack, Big Jack, You know it's only natural, he gets you up to scratch, Big Jack, Big Jack, You've got a reputation you really got the knack, Big Jack, Big Jack, He said that he's the only one who got a full sack, Big Jack, look out Jack, he's always at your back. You never leave a dollar, Racking up the balls, You like to get it on fast, Back there standing tall, When he hears the siren, He's gonna put you on the racks, He's got a bad reputation, climbing all over the bars Gonna press the flesh, Rockin' rollin' soldier, He's the last of them all, Well tell jack, he's on his way [Chorus] Big Jack, Big Jack, You know it's only natural to get you up to scratch, Big Jack, Big Jack, you've got a reputation, really got the knack, Big Jack, Big Jack, he said he ain't the only one who got a big sack, Big Jack, lookout Jack, ain't no need to worry, he's always at your back - Skies on Fire3:34

Work work money made [Repeat: x4] Then went down to LA, They roped 'em in, She couldn't get away, Spending cash all about, The die was cast, There's no burning out amount of money made Work work money made, Champagne life, high on display, Work work money made, Work work money made, You keep it up, you get it made, Work work money made, Can't bring me into Hollywood, See you livin' it up, It feels mighty good, Recommendations all around, Come taste the sweet life, That's what it's all about, That money made Work work money made, Champagne life, high on display, Work work money made, Work work money made, Keep it up, you make the grade, Work work money made, That money made, Hit the gas, That kind of life is good for her, Getting out of bed nearly half past four, Her swimming pool is the biggest about, So don't you call her cause she ain't around, That money made, Oh, money made, Oh, that money made, Work work money made, that money made, Work work money made, strings of pearls all kinds of change, Work work money made, that money made, Work work money made, shake baby shake, Shake it baby shake it, shake baby shake, Shake baby shake, shake baby shake, shake baby shake, (Fade) - Rock N' Roll Dream

Well the devil may care, You toss 'em back and be a man, With the last time, Black ice, End of it all, end of the line, End of the road, Black ice, Black ice Come on and bleeding out the crowds, We're watching all the women go, Many a mile I'll never take, I run for forty miles and come up runnin' late, Don't you know I live it down, When the devil come a callin' I ain't gonna be around, Black ice, Black ice, Black ice, The devil come a callin' I ain't gonna be around, Black ice Livin' long, livin' long, Sleep all alone, you're gonna take it all, And I'm gonna rip it out, I'll kick, I creep crawl down your street, I'll gouge your eyes out, Black ice, Black ice, Black ice, Black ice, My life, Black ice, My life, Black ice, My life, When the devil come a callin' I ain't gonna be around, I'll kick, I creep crawl down your street, and gouge your eyes out, Black ice
