Said Malcolm Young later of the simple approach to the video, "We basically told the film crew, 'We'll be playing – you film. Walk around the band – do whatever the fuck you want. We just want it done today'."[citation needed]
Drummer Phil Rudd had left the band by the time the video was recorded, and his replacement Simon Wright is featured instead.
