How to unlock the Number One With a Bullet achievement in ACDC LIVE Rock Band - Definitive Guide
I got this achievement by making an audio file that would sing You Shook Me All Night Long by itself. I'm posting it up in a video for you all to use as well as a video of me FCing the song with it. Make sure it's completely loaded, then start from the beginning, around a third of a second before the first phrase starts. And make sure your mic sensitivity is turned all the way up; you can do so by holding X and pressing right on the D-pad.
Sorry for the loud fan noise in the FC video. Also, don't worry about the funny sounding high notes at the beginning, they are the correct pitch, just an octave higher. I was still learning the ropes at that point.
Happy achievement hunting!

Thanks a bunch for this video :). I pressed play on the youtube video just when the first word was crossing the middle line of the overdrive meter, its around there you need to press play.

I did find multi player Tug-of-War mode helps. Have another account be the main (1st) player and your account as the 2nd. Play Money Talks and now you only need to do half the song, and being the 2nd player you miss the Talkie section.

No way. That's hilarious. I'm gonna have to try this when I finally get a copy of this game so I can mop it up with this last achievement.

Worked perfectly. There are still a couple awkward phrases, but having all that extra space before them gives you plenty of time to find the right pitch.

Follow the previous guides, signing in to your profile as Player 2. Go to Tug-of-War, choose "Moneytalks".
Most of this song can be sung normally, save for 3-4 verses which you have to suddenly shift to what feels like a much more high tone comparred to what you have been singing the rest of the song.
The first time you encounter this as Player 2 is singing the phrase: "You hustle, you deal, you steal from us all."
"You hustle" is sung in the normal pitch you've been using for the rest of the song.
"You deal" is primarily a talky, stay on the pitch you're currently using.
"You steal from us all." is the first time you will have to shift into an almost whiny pitch. It may take some practice, but once you find that pitch and can hit that section, REMEMBER IT. This is the exact pitch you will need in the future.
Continuing singing through the chorus. Pay attention to when you see the upcoming phrase that being "Moneytalks" with the beginning pitch starting low and quickly sweeping up towards the top. At this point, shift into that whiny voice you used for the "steal from us all" and hold it even if you have to hold a steady "oh" or "ah" to maintain the note. That will trigger the "Money talks" portion. Hold that note past the lyrics and use the brief amount of time until the "yeeeeah" to shift your voice slightly higher to match the higher portion of the indicator. You can afford to miss that beginning portion since the higher section is the majority of the section. Don't forget to shout something to hit that quick talky as well.
The phrase above was the one that gave me the most trouble due to how high the "yeah" requires you to go comparred to where the rest of the song seems to be normally sung at. But on the plus side, this is the "do or die" moment. If you have learned the pitch from "Steals from us all" and can hit the "yeah" in this phrase, you will be able to beat this song no sweat.
The next phrase you will have to look out for is the one immediately following "B S walks." There is a "Moneytalks" that is sung normally. But the subsequent "come on come on!" once again requires the higher pitch you tought yourself earlier in the song.
The last two phrases you have to watch out for are the last two phrases after "Money talks talks talks". Both of these will also require the higher singing voice from earlier in the song.
So just remember:
1) Adjust to the much higher pitch needed to hit "steal from us all!"
2) Recognize when as Player 2 you will have to sing one of the above phrases that requires that second pitch.
Good luck!

Definitely helpful! It was the phrase after "B S walks" that ruined me twice. Thanks!!

This is a great solution. Basically when I got the high pitch down it was smooth sailing. Nailed this in 3 tries thanks to your solution (didn't even know this song beforehand).

I got this on Moneytalks. It seemed to me to have the least fluctuations in pitch. The only problem part is near the end of the song where he says "Money talks talks talks". The last "talks" is a talkie that is a little broken, so you just have to time it perfectly.
To add to the other guides here, I have two suggestions. One, is to make sure that the game is properly calibrated to the vocals. It seems as though there is a split second difference in the calibration done with a guitar or the drums and the calibration on vocals. This actually does make a difference with a phrase or two, and can be the difference between a "Strong" rating and an "Awesome" rating.
Second, sing ahead of the note to find the pitch whenever you can, it will allow the note to register faster and make it a little easier to hit all the notes.
I used this method on Moneytalks and after calibrating it only took 3 tries. The only place where the second tip is ineffective is coming out of the guitar solo (since the arrow will not appear) and the line "the furs, the diamonds, the paintings on the wall" since the arrow goes down to the lyrics for the talkie "furs." If you have 2 mics, do this as a Tug of War, but if you only have one mic (like me) hopefully this can help you nail it.
And have water on hand to soothe the throat, the AC/DC scream is hard on the voice.

Tough one, as there are no songs with just "talkies". I got this by singing "Fire your Guns", and after the 50th try, finally got it. Practice this one though, and you will eventually get it.
A tip for this song, that worked for me anyways, would be to remember and be well familiar with the lowest pitch in the song, and keep it in your head the whole time. I just hum the pitch often to remember it during the performance, it's in the song during some tricky parts, and is the very last pitch in the song. Hope it helps.
Other recommended songs to try this on are "Whole lotta Rosie", "Money Talks", or "Back in Black". But IMO, all of these will take more practice than FYG.
