“Meltdown” by AC/DC

AC/DC's Stiff Upper Lip rolled out in 2000, and "Meltdown" is one of its Angus and Malcolm Young co-writes, with Brian Johnson out front, the brothers on guitars, and Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd on bass and drums. The Youngs started building the album's songs back in mid-1997, working in London and the Netherlands with Malcolm playing guitar and Angus drumming, and had them wrapped up by February 1998.

Getting them on tape took longer. The band had lined up Bruce Fairbairn to produce, but he died in May 1999, so the Youngs kept it in the family and handed the job to their older brother George Young, who had produced their early albums with Harry Vanda. It was the last AC/DC record George produced before his death in 2017. Mike Fraser engineered and mixed, with Dean Maher assisting.
