Album Description
Available in: Country Icon Country Icon Country Icon Country Icon Country Icon
Fly on the Wall est le 10e album du groupe AC/DC sorti le 28 juin 1985.
C'est le deuxième et dernier album auto-produit par le groupe et le premier album avec le batteur Simon Wright. Comme leur album précédent, Flick of the Switch, Angus et Malcolm Young choisirent de produire en vue de capturer la crudité et la simplicité de leurs premières œuvres à une époque où le glam metal orienté pop devenait populaire.
L'album ne fut pas bien reçu par les critiques à cause de sa production et ne se vendit pas beaucoup lors de sa sortie. Cependant, les chansons Shake Your Foundations et Sink the Pink sont considérées comme des classiques du groupe et les deux chansons furent incluses (Shake Your Foundations sous une version remixée) dans le film Maximum Overdrive de Stephen King et par conséquent dans l'album Who Made Who. Une vidéo du groupe jouant cinq chansons de l'album fut réalisée en été 1985.
À noter que cet album inspira un tueur en série des années 80.

User Album Review
Instead of issuing your usual run-of-the-mill video clips advertising your new album, AC/DC decided to try something a little different for their 1985 record, Fly on the Wall. A storyline was created that would run through five of the album's songs, and while the story wasn't exactly on par with Citizen Kane (it centered around the band playing away at a city bar, while strange characters were introduced per song), it proved to be a rather original idea amidst the usual corny clips of the '80s. The most popular video was for the mid-paced rocker "Danger" (which showed a sleazy photographer snooping around the band), which was played regularly on MTV's heavy metal programs. Other clips included "Shake Your Foundations" (as the title hints, the band reduces the bar to rubble), and a rather embarrassing one for "Sink the Pink" (in which a disco dancer shimmy's away to AC/DC's thunderous heavy metal...come on!). Like their 1986 home video, Who Made Who, Fly on the Wall suffers from an all too short running time, but still manages to be enjoyable viewing.
