"Danger" is a single by Australian rock band AC/DC, from the album Fly on the Wall released in 1985. A stripped down blues shuffle, it was written by Brian Johnson, Angus Young, and Malcolm Young.
Cash Box said that the song "is a gritty and blues inflected effort" with "growling vocals and tale of drunken fun." [1] Billboard said that the "monarchs of metal growl and bluster at a lumbering pace." [2]
In most territories, the single's B-side was "Back in Business", but in Australia and New Zealand, "Hell or High Water" was featured.
"Danger" was played live in 1985 one time. The song was then banished from all live sets. It was replaced with "Sin City" and "Have a Drink on Me".
