“Satellite Blues” by AC/DC

"Satellite Blues" comes from Stiff Upper Lip, AC/DC's fourteenth studio album, released in 2000, and it's an Angus and Malcolm Young song. The brothers got to work on the record in London and the Netherlands during the summer of 1997, Malcolm on guitar and Angus drumming, and had the material wrapped up by February 1998.

The plan was to make the album with Bruce Fairbairn, but he died in May 1999, so they went back to family: their older brother George Young, who had produced their early albums with Harry Vanda, took the producer's chair, and Mike Fraser engineered and mixed. The engine room is as it should be, Brian Johnson on lead vocals, Angus and Malcolm on guitars, Cliff Williams on bass and Phil Rudd on drums. It turned out to be the last AC/DC album George produced before his death in 2017.
