A-Hahn hahn hahn hahn hahn. Surely the recording fidelity is an element....but the original was of great quality. The guitar wasn't especially heavy, particularly in the upper ranges. Back in Black sounded heavy mainly in the low pitch parts, and backed by the bass and drums.
This performance was just richer, because of many things, but at the heart of it was the quality of the instruments and the playing of them.
While there are a great deal of things one can do with an overdriven signal, true dynamics is not one of them, and the quality of change in an instrument that's capable of them is far more complex. Most people can't, for whatever reason, hear it.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
