"Highway to Hell" was produced by Mutt Lange as part of the album by the same name, and his work is regarded as a significant factor in delivering one of the classic AC/DC albums, the emergence of the double-guitar sound, which was later perfected on Back in Black, and improved backing vocals with Malcolm Young, joined by Cliff Williams for the first time. Bon Scott was found dead in the back of a friend's car, just over six months after the song was released. The single spent 45 weeks on the German Singles Chart, peaked at #30 in its 19th week on the chart. "But this one, we thought, 'That's good.' It just stuck out like a dog's balls." Ĭash Box called it a "bone crunching, gut-wrenching exercise in primal guitar rock" with "simple yet effective riffing" and "ballsy vocals." "There were hundreds of riffs going down every day," recalled Malcolm Young.

The highway that inspired the title, Canning Highway, connects the Perth Kwinana freeway to its port Fremantle and was home to many of Bon Scott's favourite pubs and hotels, including the Raffles Hotel. The title and lyrics reflect the arduous nature of touring constantly and life on the road.
