"I'm a Rebel" is a hard rock song written by Scottish musician Alex Young (also known as George Alexander), that has been recorded and released by Accept and U.D.O.. A version of the song recorded by Australian hard rock band AC/DC has never been released.[1] Alex Young was the older brother of AC/DC guitarists Angus Young and Malcolm Young.

After an AC/DC show in Machen, promoter Rudy Holzhauer asked the band to record Alex Young's song in Studio Maschen. AC/DC recorded the song in a few hours,[3] with Alex Young on lead vocals, while usual singer Bon Scott (who was reportedly very drunk at the time) did backing vocals. It was recorded without the bands' usual producers, George Young (also a younger brother of Alex Young) and Harry Vanda. The recording was not included on the band's next album, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, nor the box sets Bonfire and Backtracks (which did include many other rarities). It is reportedly held in the vaults of the band's main record label, Albert Productions. Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann has claimed in an interview that the AC/DC recording is "way better" than Accept's version.[4] Leak claimsIn spite of being one of AC/DC's rarest tracks, some have claimed to have uploaded a recreation of the original version. Some of these upload claims can be found through forums and YouTube. However a very few claim to have "leaked the original," where Bon Scott is heard singing the chorus in the background. Personnel
