AC/DC: The Thunderous Legacy of Rock and Roll
AC/DC’s Humble Beginnings From the land down under to the pinnacle of global rock stardom, AC/DC’s journey has been nothing short of electrifying. Formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, AC/DC quickly became synonymous with hard-hitting rock music that refused to conform to the changing musical trends.
Highway to Fame
The Rise of AC/DC The band’s raw energy and uncompromising sound were first captured in their debut album, “High Voltage,” released exclusively in Australia in 1975. However, it was the international release of “Highway to Hell” in 1979 that catapulted them to worldwide fame.
Tragedy and Triumph
Overcoming Adversity Tragedy struck with the untimely death of lead singer Bon Scott in 1980, but AC/DC’s spirit was far from broken. With the recruitment of Brian Johnson, they released “Back in Black,” a powerful tribute to Scott and a testament to the band’s resilience. The album not only honored their fallen bandmate but also became the second best-selling album of all time.
Rock and Roll Personified
AC/DC’s Musical Influence AC/DC’s music, often described as a blend of hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, is, in their own words, simply “rock and roll.” Their influence on the genre is undeniable, shaping the sound and attitude of countless bands that followed.
