AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ Covered by Australian Street Performer With Flame-Throwing Bagpipes

In coolest-thing-we've-ever-seen news, check out this Australian maniac perform AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' on bagpipes!

According to the Badpiper's Facebook page, the Perth-based musician has been piping away since 1995 and has released three albums. Since McAzie's flaming bagpipe version of 'Thunderstruck' was posted to YouTube on May 19, the video has been going viral, accumulating over 165,000 views at the time of this posting.
