Thunderstruck was released by AC/DC in 1990 as the opening track on The Razors Edge, with its famous guitar intro played by Angus Young. The song quickly became a stadium and arena staple, regularly played before kickoff, at boxing entrances and in film and television montages that need instant adrenaline. Its spread online followed the same pattern, with editors using the opening build rather than the full song to signal a big moment, keeping the riff familiar to new audiences decades after its release.
