I'd like to start a thread for people to give the stories behind certain songs. I'm particularly interested in finding the story behind "Big jack" if there is one at all??!! The Jack : My understanding of this song is that the band were being "serviced" by a lady of the night and she gave them all a nasty STD!! Any others please!!?/

I only know the story behind Whole Lotta Rosie- From what Bon has said it's a story about a big, fat, Tasmanian girl

I doubt there is a real story behind 90% of their songs, especially new ones like Big Jack. The fake story however is apparently some dude named Big Jack who is the cool guy at every bar and gets all the ladies at least that's how I interpret it. Bedlam In Belgium is based on a real story but we all know that. Supposedly Angus was in a plane that was hit by lightning and he came up with Thunderstruck (the name, not the riff obviously).

Yep. And YSMANL, of course there are some inspiration stories behind certain songs but not many actual stories.
