AC DC

Ac Dc is an Australian Hard Rock band, which is one of the most representative groups nowadays. Some people consider it as the starters of the Heavy Metal music.
It was formed in the 1970 by the Young brothers: Malcolm and Angus Young. They named the band Ac Dc after seeing it at theirs sister’s sewing machine: it is a short way of saying alternating current/direct current, and they thought it would represent the energy of the band. Even though, it has some other meaning which the brothers ignored, like bisexuality or some religious meanings like Anti Crist/Death to Crist, Anti-Christ/Devil Christ, or After Christ/Devil Comes. Anyway, nowadays there are lots of homage spayed to this name.
At the beginning the members of the band were: Young brothers (guitar), Larry Van Kriedt (bass), Dave Evans (singer) and Colin Burgess (drummer). The first thing that made them famous was Angus Young’s (the main guitarist) extravagant style: he always wore his school uniform or some other custom. In 1976 they moved to Britain and almost immediately the top place at the hits, like Let There Be Rock (1977) and Powerage (1978).
Then the band had some changes of members. First Dave Evans was replaced by Bon Scott in 1974, together with a new drummer, Phil Rudd. Then, in 1980, he died because of his alcoholism and was replaced by Brian Johnson. After this, Cliff Williams was incorporated as the new bass. In 1983 Phil Rudd was replaced by Simon Wright and their popularity went down, until 1988, with a hit called Blow Up Your Video.
Some of their greatest hits are: Blow Up Your Video, For Those About to Rock (We Salute You), Flick of the Switch, Fly on the Wall, The Razors Edge, Back in Black, Who Made Who, Let There Be Rock.
