The group AC/DC was formed by the English: Angus and Malcolm Young in Australia, 1973. The eldest of Young brothers, George, was a famous rocker in the group “Easybeats”, so the musical career wasn’t something new for them. But remaining on the level of a local group, giving concerts in the clubs wasn’t enough for Angus and Malcolm. So they wanted to create their own famous group.

Due to sister’s advice it was named AC/DC. Apart from that Angus was so inseparable with his guitar, that, even when he came home from school, he started to play, always forgetting to take off the school uniform. The same sister advised him to stay like this forever. So it became the style of a group – hooligan schoolboys. Soon Dave Evans, bassist Rob Baley and drummer Peter Clark joined Malcolm and Angus. The first concert was given on the 31st of December, 1973, in one of the Sydney clubs.

It wasn’t very successful, but due to it the local record company “Albert Records” became interested in AC/DC. After that the group came to their studio and recorded a couple of songs from their concert: “Rockin’ In The Parlour” and “Can I Sit Next To You Girl”. The new single was produced by George Young and Harry Wanda.

Suddenly the arguments because of the group’s musical career appeared. The Youngs wanted to play rock’n’roll and American blues, but the other members of the group preferred pop rhythms. Straight before the recording debut album there were only Youngs in AC/DC left. But nothing could stop the brothers, so they offered the job of a vocalist for the driver of their bus – Bon Scott. The other members were collected very quickly. Now the AC/DC consisted of Bon Scott (vocals), Angus Young (guitar), Malcolm Young (guitar), Mark Evans (bass) and Phil Rudd (drums). As a result the debut album “High Voltage” was released.

In 1975 the new album named “T.N.T.” appeared. It was produced by the same people: George Young and Harry Wanda, who, seeing the great success of AC/DC in Australia, decided, that the group must conquer the worldwide fame. The copies of their albums were sent to USA and England for promotion, and the local Atlantic Records and EMI Records were so amazed that the contract with AC/DC was signed immediately.

In the April of 1976 the group headed to England. After giving some concerts there they returned to Australia and released a new album “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”. It was sold in Australia only.

The album “Let There Be Rock” was released in 1977. It was full of AC/DC super hits, and the track “Let There Be Rock” became the hymn of the group.

A very unpleasant moment for a group happened when Evans left AC/DC. Cliff Williams became their new bass guitarist. After the new AC/DC tour the group started to record a new album and released “Powerage” in 1978. It performed a cool energy with Angus’s guitar. The album was very successful.

New album “Highway To Hell” was released in 1979. This CD also had a huge success.

Suddenly a weird thing happened to Bon Scott. On the 2nd of February, 1980 he was found dead in his own car. The death was caused by a huge amount of alcohol. Everyone was shocked, because nobody could imagine AC/DC without Bon’s unique vocals.

But soon Bryan Johnson became their new vocalist. So in 1980 AC/DC headed to Bagam Islands to record a new album “Back In Black”. In England it became number one album in their charts.

The next album was “For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)” (1981).

After a couple of years AC/DC gathered in a studio in spring of 1985 and in a few months released “Fly On The Wall”. Soon it was awfully criticized by the critics.

The next album “Blow Up Your Video”, 1988, brought two hits: “Heatseeker” and “That’s The Way I Wanna Rock’n’Roll”. The group headed for a tour and finished it at the end of 1988.

The next album “The Razor’s Edge” blew up all the barriers on its way. It was so successful, that the group decided to shoot a concert video.

The new CD named “Ball Breaker” appeared in 1995 and shocked all the fans of the group. The genre of it performed hard blues. The only interesting track in it was “Hard As A Rock”.

The next album appeared only in 2000. But AC/DC returned with great triumph. It was really cool rock’n’roll album. “Stiff Upper Lip” proved, that the Australian hooligans can make really amazing music.
