Remove the statement about Rolling Thunder & HALO. Include a statement about Rolling Thunder and Vietnam. Children with no sense of history, tsk tsk! Check the album: it's Hells Bells! no apostrophe! -- Fireblues 18:44, 22 February 2006 (UTC) I have to agree with Fireblues. Although grammatically there should be an apostrophe, the band has never included one. 24.235.103.202 15:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
It states that this song was on the Who Made Who album (caption for the picture). This couldn't be farther from the truth: it is track 1 on Back In Black and NOT Who Made Who.
68.198.112.113 ( talk) 21:42, 21 August 2010 (UTC) The song is featured on the "Who Made Who" album, but it appeared on "Back in Black" first. "Who Made Who" was a soundtrack, not an album, so while there was some new material, a few AC/DC classics were added to the album, including "Hells Bells."
The paragraph about Big Ben is true. It's not vandalism.
Then provide a reference, spell everything correctly, write it from a npov and resubmit. Bongwarrior 03:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Look in the BBC archives. I know it's in there. Put the bong down. There was also a video interview that went to VHS for a time. I owned that in the late 80s. Wish I had it now.
I found Image:ACDC Who Made Who.JPG and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image:ACDC Who Made Who.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Betacommand ( talk • contribs • Bot) 04:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
The Dandy Warhols covered this song and it was released on a bonus Australia only cd along with Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia. Not sure if it's notable though. -- phocks ( talk) 09:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
also: daft punk - aerodynamic starts with the same bells. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.202.45.233 ( talk) 09:39, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Should one say that Brian Johnson was a replacement? I understand that many believe Bon Scott was a better vocalist, but that does not mean Brian was his replacement. AC/DC considered him as a successor not a replacement. McDABest ( talk) 17:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
The first sentence says this song is from their comeback album. "Back in Black" was not a comeback album. They were extremely famous with "Highway to Hell" being released before "Back in Black." Does anyone think we should change that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.112.113 ( talk) 21:39, 21 August 2010 (UTC) No it isn't a comeback in the sense that you are speaking of, however it is a comeback from Bon Scott's death however it is easy to take the wrong way and hence should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.33.226.176 ( talk) 05:50, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
This song is so pointless. I don't understand why it's so popular. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.30.174 ( talk) 02:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus Aervanath ( talk) 04:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Hells Bells (song) →
Hells Bells – The article "Hells Bells (song)" is about a song, "Hells Bells", which does not include an apostrophe in its name. Currently,
Hells Bells is a redirect to a disambiguation page
Hell's bells, which does include an apostrophe. All the other entries at the dab page have an apostrophe except for one,
HellsBelles. Hells Bells (song) would be the primary topic over HellsBelles, and arguably "Hells Bells (song)" is the the primary topic for all the entries in Hell's Bells. Its not user friendly for a reader who enters the correct spelling without an apostrophe (Hells Bells) to get redirected to a page with an apostrophe (Hells's bells) to finally select a name without the apostrophe (Hells Bells (song)).—

Apparently this recording is considered a test for audio systems. I don't know if it is used widely.
Despacio, on the other hand, has been designed specifically to reproduce both modern dance music and "Hells Bells" as accurately as possible.

The article doesn't say who the bell was played by. Does anyone know who it was? The bell was one of the unique things about this song.-- Kevjgav ( talk) 14:19, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello again. Unfortunately I cannot put this in correctly; you can see I have had several attempts. I do not understand the technical "Cite error A" If you can help me this this I would be very grateful. At age 76 I am not as computer literate as I would like to be. Thanks 83.61.200.173 ( talk) 10:47, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
There was an inordinate amount of trivia in the article surrounding the song's use as Trevor Hoffman's entrance music. I'm sure if you were a San Diego Padres fan, this event seemed significant in your life, but outside of that, does the English-speaking world even barely aware of this? It's trivia and deserves a mention, sure, but all the other stuff is more suited to the Trevor Hoffman article. Hell, I'm a sports fan and I know who Hoffman was but I had no idea they used this music for him. One sentence is plenty. JimKaatFan ( talk) 18:22, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
As a reference, here's an example of the random playings that used to be listed. If we assume they are all true, how would you suggest filtering the notable ones going forward?— Bagumba ( talk) 07:06, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
