AC/DC

AC/DC is a name that almost everybody knows, and is a band formed in 1973 by brothers Malcom and Angus Young who both play guitar. They have had a lot of changes in drummer's and bassist's especially early in the bands career but currently they have Phil Rudd on drums and Cliff Williams on bass. Bon Scott was the second singer of AC/DC replacing Dan Evans who was there for less than a year. Under Bon Scott's vocals the band released seven albums including "Highway To Hell", and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". In 1980 Bon Scott died of alcohol poisoning, and Brian Johnson came in to take his place. Brian Johnson did a good job singing for the band but was no Bon Scott. Brian Johnson's singing was first revealed on the 1980 album "Back In Black" which was the bands most successful album going 22 times platinum. With Johnson the band released 9 albums and produced lots of hit singles such as "Back In Black", "Thunderstruck", "Moneytalks", and more.
