One more in the honor of Malcolm Young. Today's Metal Track is a great demonstration of Malcolm's great riffs. Whenever I hear this song, I always think of my middle school teacher Mr. Burgess. Isman and I were discussing musing with him one day and he broke out the chorus to this song.

This is the title track off of their 1976 album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. RIP Malcolm.

Today's Metal Track is a classic by Alice in Chains and the very first song I ever heard of theirs. Man in the Box is off of their 1990 debut album Facelift. About the song, Jerry Cantrell stated "It's basically about how government and media control the public's perception of events in the world or whatever, and they build you into a box by feeding it to you in your home. And it's about breaking out of that box and looking outside of that box that has been built for you."
