Slash has shared the key albums in AC/DC's career that remain among his favorites.

The Guns N' Roses guitarist, who recently covered "Killing Floor" with AC/DC's Brian Johnson for his Orgy of the Damned album, spoke with 95.5 KLOS host Matt Pinfield about his AC/DC love during an episode of New & Approved. It was during this portion of the chat where he detailed two key AC/DC albums in his appreciation of the band and why they remain his favorites.

"Powerage, still probably one of my favorite AC/DC records," remarked the guitarist. "But at the time when I got into 'em, the record that came out was Highway to Hell. And that's how I became familiar with them."

He went on to add, "Because of that record, I heard Powerage, and I was like, 'Whoa, this record.' That was, really, that got me into the whole AC/DC catalog. And then Bon Scott died. And that was just… It was, like, 'I just got into these guys.' And then really in pretty quick succession, Brian [Johnson] came into it."

And Sabbath's Heaven And Hell. It was a huge, huge year for rock."
