- Angus Young playing "Thunderstruck"'s main riff with only one hand in the song's music video.
- Funnily enough, for some people this is easier to play, as the intro is mostly hammer-ons/pull-offs.
- The fact that they managed to respond to Bon Scott's death with the second best-selling album of all time, bested only by Michael Jackson's Thriller and only because of sales outside of the U.S., and that album rocked (Hells Bells comes to mind).
- Making bagpipes sound cool with "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock n' Roll)".
- For the original recording of "Let There Be Rock", during the guitar solo, Angus' amp caught fire. And due to shouts of "KEEP GOING!" from his brother in the control room, he recorded the rest of his solo while the amp burned.
- This performance of "Let There Be Rock" at Donnington in 1991. The whole band was spectacular as usual, but special mention must go to drummer Chris Slade for keeping a steady, heart pounding beat going for 12 minutes straight! And he didn't mess up even once in that timespan. For those not versed in musical prowess, that takes a Herculean amount of strength and endurance to pull off, especially with having done the rest of the concert that came beforehand. It says a lot that, despite Angus being front and center and hogging a lot of the camera time, the majority of the comment section are talking about Chris instead.
