Who are AC/DC?
The band was formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. The original line-up also included vocalist Dave Evans, bassist Larry Van Kriedt, and drummer Colin Burgess. However, this line-up changed shortly after their formation, with Bon Scott joining as the lead vocalist and Phil Rudd replacing Colin Burgess on drums.
AC/DC rose to prominence in the late 1970s and early 1980s with their powerful, riff-driven rock anthems. Their music is characterised by Angus Young's electrifying guitar solos, Bon Scott's gritty vocals (later replaced by Brian Johnson after Scott's death in 1980), and their raw, no-nonsense approach to rock 'n' roll.
Some of AC/DC's most famous albums include Highway to Hell (1979), Back in Black (1980), Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976), and The Razors Edge (1990). The band have sold hundreds of millions of albums worldwide.
