Nothing but rehashed AC/DC tunes

Review Score: (2/10)
I have one question about this boxed set. Why did they include "Back In Black?" The title itself - BONFIRE - indicates this to be some kind of tribute to Bon Scott. That being the case, why was Back In Black included? That album has nothing even REMOTELY RELATED to Bon Scott. Instead of Back In Black, they should have included "HIGHWAY TO HELL". Sure, every ac/dc fan already has it, but at least including it instead of Back In Black makes SOME sense. I have to agree with one of the other reviews - if i hear THE JACK or WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE or LET THERE BE ROCK JUST ONE MORE TIME - just O N E M O R E T I M E - It will make me so pig-biting mad, i'm gonna barf up my last bottle of Old Crow, by gum! "The Jack" is one song that, if i NEVER hear it again, won't be too soon for me. Actually, just about any AC/DC song that is longer than 3 minutes is TOO MUCH to me. Three-root-chord repetitions grates on my nerves after about 3 minutes. I have to hand it to them though - ANY band that can sell 80 million records just by rearranging root chords can't be all bad. I don't want to leave the impression that I don't like AC/DC though. On the contrary, I think Back In Black and Highway To Hell are 2 of the best hard rock albums ever recorded, but yeah, this BONFIRE box set is a dud. The Atlantic studio CD is worth the money but the rest is nothing but more attempts to cash in on AC/DC's popularity.
