AC/DC: Rock’s Electrifying Legends
AC/DC is one of the most iconic and enduring rock bands in music history. Formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, the band has become synonymous with high-voltage rock and roll, energetic live performances, and some of the most memorable riffs ever recorded.
The Early Years
AC/DC’s journey began when Malcolm and Angus Young, inspired by their older brother George Young (of the Easybeats), decided to form a rock band. The name “AC/DC” was suggested by their sister Margaret after spotting it on a sewing machine, representing the band’s raw, electric energy.
The band’s early lineup featured several changes before settling with vocalist Bon Scott, guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, bassist Mark Evans, and drummer Phil Rudd. Bon Scott’s distinctive raspy voice and charismatic stage presence quickly became central to the band’s identity.
Breakthrough and Classic Albums
AC/DC made their mark in Australia with albums like High Voltage (1975) and T.N.T. (1975). Their international breakthrough came with the release of Let There Be Rock (1977) and Powerage (1978), but it was Highway to Hell (1979) that propelled them to global stardom. The album’s title track became an anthem for rebellious rock fans around the world.
Tragedy struck in February 1980 when Bon Scott passed away unexpectedly. The band considered disbanding but ultimately decided to continue, recruiting English singer Brian Johnson as their new frontman. This decision would lead to one of the greatest comebacks in rock history.
Back in Black and Global Success
In July 1980, AC/DC released Back in Black, a tribute to Bon Scott. The album became a monumental success, featuring classic tracks like You Shook Me All Night Long, Hells Bells, and the title track Back in Black. It went on to become one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 50 million copies sold worldwide.
AC/DC continued to dominate the rock scene through the 1980s and 1990s with albums such as For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) (1981), Flick of the Switch (1983), and The Razor’s Edge (1990), which featured the hit Thunderstruck.
Later Years and Legacy
Despite lineup changes and personal challenges, including Malcolm Young’s retirement due to illness in 2014, AC/DC has remained a powerful force in rock music. Their 2020 album Power Up, recorded in tribute to Malcolm, was a commercial and critical success, proving the band’s timeless appeal.
AC/DC’s sound is defined by blues-based hard rock riffs, pounding drums, and Angus Young’s electrifying guitar solos — often delivered while wearing his signature schoolboy outfit. Their music has influenced countless bands and earned them a dedicated global fanbase.
Enduring Impact
With over 200 million records sold worldwide and numerous accolades, including an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, AC/DC’s legacy as one of rock’s greatest acts is secure. Their music continues to energize audiences, ensuring that the spirit of rock and roll remains alive and loud.
