AC / DC is an Australian hard rock group and it formed in Sydney, (Australia) in 1973, by Scottish brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Became famous in their live performances, thanks to the flamboyant style of his main guitarist. He is Angus Young and always dressed in uniform schoolboy in the concerts. The original members of the group are: Angus Young (principal guitarist), Malcolm Young (rytmic guitar), Bon Scott (vocals), Larry Van Kriedt (bassist), Colin Burgess (drumer).

In September 1974, Bon Scott replaced Dave Evans. Until then, the group had just recorded a single with Evans' Can I Sit Next to You "/" Rockin 'in the Parlor. " "Can I Sit Next to You" will then be re-recorded with Bon Scott in the voice, under the title "Can I Sit Next to You Girl."

In January 1975, they recorded their first album, called High Voltage. It took ten days, and is based on instrumental songs written by the brothers Young, with lyrics written by Scott. After a few months, training stabilized: Scott, the Young brothers, bassist Mark Evans and drummer Phil Rudd. Later, edited the single "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock 'n' Roll)", which became his anthem.

Bon Scott

After the death of Bon Scott, the band was raised further, and finally recruited into English Brian Johnson, who was the favorite vocalist Scott. Johnson was with the group and was considering whether it would continue in the music world. However, he accepted the challenge and came with the rest of the group to record what would be one of the greatest albums of 1980: Back in Black, dedicated to Bon Scott, under the production of Mutt Lange. The figures arrived at by that album are very striking: in the United States topped the list of sales for five weeks and was maintained for a further twenty in the Top 10. Brian Johnson
