AC/DC

Angus Young, Malcolm Young and George Young were all born in Glasgow, Scotland before they moved to Australia. George was the first of the brothers to pick up a guitar and join a band, The Easy Beats. Malcolm and Angus soon wanted to learn aswell. Malcolm started AC/DC in 1973 playing rhythm guitar with Angus playing lead guitar(they got the name from the back of their sisters sewing machine and thought it would be funny to have a name that was slang for bisexual even though none of them were). They recruited Colin Burgess(drums) Larry Van Kreidt(bass) and the first singer for the band Dave Evans. Angus Young went thorugh a series of outfits, The School Uniform, The superhero suit(when he called himself Super-Ang) back to the legendary uniform from his secondary school which was suggested by his younger sister Margaret. After Skipping a gig Dave Evans was replaced by chaufeur Ronald Belford 'Bon' Scott, Ex-singer of the Valentines. 19 February 1980 After a night of partying and heavy alchohol intake Bon Scott passed out in Alistair Kinnears car. He was left in the car with a banket over him as Kinnear thought he was sleeping. The Next day he was rushed to hospital and pronounced dead. Not too long after AC/DC thought Bon would have wanted them to continue with the band. But they needed to find a singer. but they left it for a while after having a go at some executive for rushing the mourning of Bon Scott. Then they realised they needed to find a singer so set out on auditions. Brian Johnson former singer of Geordie (who Bon was a fan of) took himself tot he audition and a couple of days later he was the singer of an extraordinary band. They completed the memorial album Back in Black. Their biggest selling album. They have had many more albums though each one successfull.
