AC/DC - Topic

AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973. Their music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock and heavy metal, but the band calls it simply "rock and roll". They are cited as a formative influence on the new wave of British heavy metal bands.
AC/DC was founded in 1973 by Angus and Malcolm Young, with Colin Burgess, Larry Van Kriedt and Dave Evans. They underwent several line-up changes before releasing their debut Australasian-only album, High Voltage. Membership stabilised after the release of Let There Be Rock, with the Young brothers, Rudd on drums, Williams on bass guitar and Bon Scott on lead vocals. Seven months after the release of Highway to Hell, Scott died of alcohol poisoning and recruited English singer Brian Johnson as their new frontman. Their first album with Johnson, Back in Black, dedicated to Scott's memory, became the second best-selling album of all time. The eighth studio album, For Those About to Rock, was their first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200. Rudd was fired partway through the Flick of the Switch sessions in 1983 and was replaced by Simon Wright, who was replaced by Chris Slade six years later.
