EspañolFOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK (WE SALUTE YOU)
(Redirected from For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) (song))
'"For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)"' is a song by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC. The song was released onto AC/DC's album with the same name in 1981. The cannons fired in the song are mixed with exploding fireworks. The video to this song was filmed live in Detroit in 1983. The song would later be released on AC/DC's first soundtrack album, ''Who Made Who'', released five years later for the Stephen King film ''Maximum Overdrive''.
The title and central lyric of the song are based on an ancient salute used by Roman gladiators, "We who are about to die salute you."
★ Brian Johnson- Lead Vocals
★ Angus Young- Lead Guitar
★ Malcolm Young- Rhythm Guitar, Background Vocals
★ Cliff Williams- Bass Guitar, Background Vocals
★ Phil Rudd- Drums
★ This song was paraphrased by Jack Black's character "Dewey Finn" in ''School of Rock'' as "For those about to rock, I salute you!"
★ One of Artie Lange's catchphrases on The Howard Stern Show is "Fi-yah!", an imitation of AC/DC singer Brian Johnson yelling "fire" in the song.
★ A Modified Version of the opening riff of the song is featured on the Skateboarding movie Girl Yeah Right.
★ This song was covered by Industrial Metal band Godflesh and featured on the Gothic-Industrial tribute album to AC/DC, Covered in Black.
★ During home matches of the Toronto lacrosse team Toronto Rock, when the team scores, the title line is often played to celebrate the goal.
★ Prior to New England Patriots home games, the song is often played to pump the crowd up during warmups. It is also played when the Patriots score, and when Brian Johnson yell's "Fire!' they fire the muskets.
★ UFC Middleweight fighter Rich "Ace" Franklin enters the octagon to the song.
