"Live Wire" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the fourth track of their Australian album T.N.T., released in December 1975 (see 1975 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott.

"Live Wire" is also the fourth track on the international version of High Voltage, released in May 1976 (see 1976 in music).

When Bon Scott was the lead singer of AC/DC the song was often used as an ice breaker at concerts to prepare the audience for the band's harder material.

The song is written from the point of view of a person who views himself as a man that other men should fear, and that women should desire.

[edit] Personnel

In Glasgow, Scotland October 9, 1982 Brian Johnson did his first live performance of this song and sung the lyrics wrong, (he did the second verse twice) which might be why this song was dropped since then. The Bootleg of this album was titled "Live And Wired" likely to poke fun at his screw up of the song
