Enthusiastic Scottish fan attends AC/DC video shoot, records Beavis & Butthead-esque version of as-yet-unreleased new single from memory

“This is my version of the new AC/DC song played and sung at the video shoot in London which I attended. Its been a tiring few days but wouldnt change it for the world – what an experience, as such this isnt exactly like the song, in fact I think the riff im doing is Love Bomb or one of the in-riffs from Hard As A Rock not sure what one haha but the main bit Runaway Train, Runniiing Riiiiight Off The Traaaack is correct and the riff im sure is to the tune I sing RUNNING RIGHT OFF THE TRACK. No rules were broken in the making of this video. This is just to let people have a wee idea of how the chorus goes – it isnt a serious attempt at singing the song.”
