AC / DC

Is a (hard) rock-band from Australia, and is regarded as one of the best band in the (hard) rock genre. The band was formed in Sydney in Australia in December 1973 and is regarded as an Australian band, even if only one of the original members are born in Australia. The band consists of Brian Johnson, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Cliff Wiliams and Phil Rudd. Before 1980 was vocalist Bon Scott in the band.

Bon Scott died on February 19 1980 after sleep in a car after a party. After the discussions it became clear that the cause of death was choking, having kept in an abnormal position. Are many opinions about this death, the most famous version is that he drowned by their eiget vomit while he slept.
Brian Johnson replaced him. I displayed the old vocalist was better, and not long after the Act was AC / DC with their breakthrough album, Back in Black.

AC / DC has selten around 180 million albums and is considered to be one of the largest that has happened to rock music, with Bon Scott and Brian Johnson distinctive voices and Angus Young's guitar style, closely followed by Malcolm Youngs precise riffs and a very tight fit musical signature set the real traces of themselves in the rock industry.
