Let There Be Rock

In the beginning Back in nineteen fifty-five Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show And all that jive The white man had the smoltz The black man had the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But tchaikovsky had the news He said "let there be light", and there was light

"let there be sound", and there was sound "let there be drums", and there was drums "let there be guitar", and there was guitar "let there be rock" And it came to pass That rock 'n' roll was born All across the land every rockin' band Was blowing up a storm The guitarman got famous The businessman got rich And in every bar there was a super star With a seven year itch There were fifteen million fingers Learning how to play And you could hear the fingers picking And this is what they had to say "let there be light" "sound" "drums" "guitar" "let there be rock" One night in a club called `the shaking hand' There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band The music was good and the music was loud And the singer turned and he said to the crowd "let there be rock"

Oooooh!

AC/DC's mammoth power-chord roar became one of the most influential hard rock sounds of the '70s. In its own way, it was a reaction against the pompous art rock and lumbering arena rock of the early '70s. AC/DC's rock was minimalist -- no matter how huge and bludgeoning the guitar chords were, there was a clear sense of space and restraint. Combined with Bon Scott's larynx-shredding vocals, the band spawned countless imitators over the next two decades. AC/DC was formed in 1973 in Australia by guitarist Malcolm Young after his band, the Velvet Underground, collapsed (Young's band has no relation to the seminal American group). With his younger brother Angus as lead guitarist, the band played some gigs around Sydney. Angus was only 15-years-old at the time and his sister suggested that he should wear his school uniform onstage; the look became the band's visual trademark. While still in Sydney, the original lineup (featuring singer Dave Evans) cut a single called "Can I Sit Next to You," with ex-Easybeats Harry Vanda and George Young (Malcolm and Angus' older brother) producing.

The band moved to Melbourne the following year, where drummer Phil Rudd (formerly of the Coloured Balls) and bassist Mark Evans joined the band. The band's chauffeur, Bon Scott, became their lead vocalist when their singer, Dave Evans, refused to go on-stage. Previously, Scott had been vocalist for the Australian prog rock bands Fraternity and the Valentines. More importantly, he helped cement the group's image as brutes -- he had several convictions on minor criminal offenses and was rejected by the Australian Army for being "socially maladjusted." And AC/DC was socially maladjusted. Throughout their career they favored crude double entendres and violent imagery, all spiked with a mischievous sense of fun. The group released two albums -- High Voltage and TNT -- in Australia in 1974 and 1975. Material from the two records comprised the 1976 release High Voltage in the U.S. and U.K.; the group also toured both countries. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap followed at the end of the year. Evans left the band at the beginning of 1977, with Cliff Williams taking his place. In the fall of 1977, AC/DC released Let There Be Rock, which became their first album to chart in the U.S. Powerage, released in spring of 1978, expanded their audience even further, thanks in no small part to their dynamic live shows (which were captured on 1978's live If You Want Blood, You've Got It). What really broke the doors down for the band was the following year's Highway to Hell, which hit number 17 in the U.S. and number eight in the U.K., becoming the group's first millionseller. AC/DC's train was derailed when Bon Scott died on February 20, 1980. The official coroner's report stated he had "drunk himself to death." In March, the band replaced Scott with Brian Johnson. The following month, the band recorded Back in Black, which would prove to be their biggest album, selling over ten million copies in the U.S. alone. For the next few years, the band was one of the largest rock bands in the world, with For Those About to Rock We Salute You topping the charts in the U.S. In 1982, Rudd left the band; he was replaced by Simon Wright. After 1983's Flick of the Switch, the band's commercial standing began to slip; they were able to reverse their slide with 1990's The Razor's Edge, which spawned the hit "Thunderstruck." While not the commercial powerhouse they were during the late '70s and early '80s, the '90s saw them maintain their status as a top international concert draw. In the fall of 1995, their 16th album, Ballbreaker, was released. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album received some of the most positive reviews of AC/DC's career. Ballbreaker entered the American charts at number four and sold over a million copies in its first six months of release. Stiff Upper Lip followed in early 2000. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

AC/DC is a hard rock band formed in Sydney, Australia in 1973 by rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young and his brother, lead guitarist Angus Young. The band has sold over 150 million albums worldwide, making them one of the most successful hard rock acts ever. Their 1980 album Back in Black has sold 42 million units worldwide (21 million in the US alone) and is the second highest selling album of all time. [1] The band has had two distinctive lead singers, and its fans tend to divide its history into the "Bon Scott era" (1974-80), and the "Brian Johnson era" (1980-present). Although the group is generally considered to be a pioneer of hard rock and heavy metal music (they are ranked number 4 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock"), the members have always referred to their music as rock 'n' roll. Overall, AC/DC is the most successful and well-known band to hail from Australia. AC/DC is currently working on a new studio album, but as of May 2006, no release date has been set. In a 2005 interview with Brian Johnson, he has confirmed that the band does not know where the album will be recorded and finished. Also during the year, it was announced that there was a possibility the next release could be a double album. In a recent interview (April 2006) with Guitarist magazine, Malcolm Young stated, "The band is currently recording and writing material for the eagerly anticipated next album." [citation needed]

History
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, the brothers Angus, Malcolm Young and George Young moved with their family to Sydney, Australia as children. George began playing guitar first and became a member of Australia's most successful band during the 1960s, The Easybeats. They were the first local rock act to score an international hit ("Friday On My Mind" in 1966). Malcolm and Angus soon followed in his footsteps. Malcolm first played with a Newcastle, New South Wales band called The Velvet Underground (not to be confused with the New York based Velvet Underground which included member Lou Reed). [edit]

Early years

One of the AC/DC's lineups in 1973: Evans, Bailey, M. Young, Clack and A. Young. In November 1973, Malcolm Young started AC/DC, in which he played rhythm guitar and Angus played lead guitar. They recruited drummer Colin Burgess (ex-The Masters Apprentices), bassist Larry Van Kriedt, and vocalist Dave Evans. They originally intended to have a keyboardist, but soon dropped the idea. They played their first gig at a club in Sydney, Australia on New Years Eve, 1973.

The early lineups of the band changed often. Colin Burgess was sacked after passing out on stage (reportedly because someone spiked his drink), and a number of different bassists and drummers passed through the band over the next year, some lasting only a few weeks. Another vital innovation was Angus Young's adoption of his now-famous school uniform as a regular stage outfit; the original was reputedly Angus' real uniform from his secondary school, Ashfield Boys High School, in Sydney. This idea was suggested by the Young brothers' sister, Margaret. In September 1974, after skipping a gig, Dave Evans, was replaced by the band's chauffeur, the charismatic singer Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott, former lead vocalist with The Spektors (1964-66), The Valentines (1966-70) and Fraternity (1970-73). This signified the beginning of real success. With Evans, they had recorded one single, "Can I Sit Next To You"/"Rockin' In The Parlour". "Can I Sit Next To You" was eventually recorded with Bon Scott under the title "Can I Sit Next To You Girl". By early 1975, the line-up had stabilised around Scott, the Young brothers, Mark Evans (bass) and Phil Rudd (drums), and an Australian-only album High Voltage had been released. Between 1974 and 1978, aided by regular appearances on the nationally-broadcast TV pop music show Countdown, AC/DC became one of the most popular and successful acts in Australia, scoring a string of hit albums and singles including their perennial rock anthem "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)", included on their second album T.N.T. which again was only released in Australia and New Zealand. [edit]

International fame
AC/DC signed an international deal with Atlantic Records. They worked all over the UK and Europe to establish themselves, touring almost constantly and gaining invaluable experience on the stadium circuit supporting the top hard-rock acts of the day including Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Cheap Trick, Nazareth, Foreigner, Thin Lizzy, and The Who. Their next album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was released in 1976. There were slightly different track listings in different territories, and the album didn't reach the US until 1981 (when AC/DC were at the peak of their popularity). After 1977's Let There Be Rock, Mark Evans was replaced by Cliff Williams. AC/DC was first played in America on AM 600 WTAC in Flint, Michigan. The station manager's manager and legendary promoter "Peter C" Cavanaugh, who had also introduced The Who to America, booked the band to play Flint's Capitol Theater in the Fall of 1977. The opening act was The MC 5 who was briefly reunited and agreed to play the event. AC/DC opened with Live Wire and closed with It's a Long Way to The Top (If You Wanna Rock & Roll). The entire event is chronicled in Cavanaugh's book Local DJ

They survived the punk rock upheavals of 1976 and 1978, partly because they were tagged as a punk rock band by the British music press, a label they despise to this day. They gained a solid cult following in the UK with their powerful performances and outrageous stage antics; Angus Young quickly became notorious for mooning the audience and the group was banned from several British venues. Their meaty hardrock sound and Scott's provocative, leering stage persona have also reputed to have been significant influences on The Sex Pistols' lead singer Johnny Rotten. [edit]

Highway to Hell

Highway To Hell It was their 1979 sixth album, Highway To Hell, produced by Mutt Lange, that propelled them into the top ranks of hard rock acts; its anthemic title track is still a radio staple and is still widely popular in the U.S. This album was the first album not produced by Harry Vanda and George Young and the last to feature Bon Scott on vocals. [edit]

Bon Scott's death

Bon Scott died on 19 February 1980. He passed out after a night of routine partying, and was left in a car owned by an acquaintance named Alistair Kinnear. Sometime the next day, Bon was found unconscious by Kinnear and immediately rushed to the hospital, but was pronounced dead upon arrival. The official cause of death was listed as "Acute alcohol poisoning" and "Death by Misadventure", although common folklore cites pulmonary aspiration of vomit as the cause. There are many inconsistencies in the official story, which in recent years have lead to many conspiracy theories, many involving heroin overdoses. It should be noted, however, that Bon was asthmatic and the temperature was below freezing that morning. The band members considered quitting, but they decided Bon would have wanted AC/DC to continue. Shortly after, the band had lined up various candidates. Among them was Marc Storace of Krokus (because he sounded very much like Bon Scott), Terry Slesser and Brian Johnson. Johnson was trying to get Geordie back together,

but he went to the audition and he sang two songs: "Whole Lotta Rosie" (Let There Be Rock) and "Nutbush City Limits" (Ike & Tina Turner). A few days later, the band told Johnson that he was the new vocalist of AC/DC.With the exception of Ride on a song recorded on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap placed on the Album Who Made Who as Track 6. [edit]

Back in Black

Back in Black With Johnson, they completed the song-writing that was started while Bon Scott was still alive and began recording Back in Black, also produced by Lange. This became their biggest-selling album, a hard-rock landmark . Among the album's hits, the title track, an unstated tribute to Scott, and "You Shook Me All Night Long", are quintessential AC/DC: pounding guitars, start-stop rhythms, and the vocal style one critic affectionately described as "crotch on barbed wire." The follow-up album, For Those About to Rock We Salute You, released in 1981, also sold very well and was well received by critics. The band split with Lange for their self-produced 1983 album, Flick of the Switch. Amid rumours of alcoholism, drummer Phil Rudd left after personal differences with another band member.[citation needed] Rudd was replaced by Simon Wright formerly of Tytan, after the band held an anonymous audition. With the new lineup they recorded the less successful Fly on the Wall, produced by the Young brothers, in 1985. An ambitious series of music videos featuring the band at a bar playing five of the album's ten songs and supplemented by a variety of goings-on, including an animated fly, was also released.

Who Made Who In 1986, the group returned to the charts with the title track from Who Made Who, the soundtrack to Stephen King's film Maximum Overdrive. The album also included two new instrumentals along with previous hits. In February 1988 AC/DC were inducted into ARIA Hall of Fame. The next album, Blow Up Your Video (1988) saw them reunited with their original producers, Harry Vanda and George Young. It had better sales than the band's two previous albums, scoring a British Top 20 single with "Heatseeker". Following Blow Up Your Video, Wright left the group and was replaced by session veteran Chris Slade. Johnson was unavailable for several months and the Young brothers wrote the songs for the next record themselves, as they would do for all subsequent releases. The new album would be produced by Bruce Fairbairn who had worked previously with Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi. Released in 1990, The Razor's Edge was a big comeback for the band and included hits "Thunderstruck" and "Money Talks". The album went multiplatinum and went into the top ten in the United States and elsewhere around the world. By 1994, a sober Rudd had returned. The departure of Chris Slade was, however, amicable and mainly due to the band's strong wish to return with Rudd. According to Angus Young, Slade was the best musician in AC/DC, but the wish to regroup with Rudd was stronger. With the 19801983 lineup back, the group recorded Ballbreaker (1995) with hip hop and heavy metal producer Rick Rubin and Stiff Upper Lip (2000).

Ballbreaker

In 2002, Q magazine put AC/DC at the very top of the "50 Bands To See Before You Die" list. AC/DC have entered into a long-term, multi-album deal for new recordings, which will be released through Epic Records. [edit]

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction

In March 2003, the walls at New York City's historic Waldorf Astoria hotel shook, as AC/DC performed "Highway To Hell" during part of their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and "You Shook Me All Night Long" with guest vocals by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, who inducted AC/DC into the hall of fame. "AC/DC became the litmus test of what rock does," Tyler said. "Does it make you clench your fist when you sing along? Does it scare your parents to hell, and piss off the neighbours? Does it make you dance so close to the fire that you burn your feet--and still don't give a rat's ass? Does it make you want to stand up and scream for something that you're not even sure of yet? Does it make you want to boil your sneakers, and make soup outta your girlfriend's panties? (audience laughter) If it doesn't, then it ain't AC/DC". Alongside the band were two of Scott's nephews. In a brief acceptance speech, the band again thanked the fans for their support. Brian Johnson quoted the band's 1977 song "Let There Be Rock," written by Bon Scott. "In the beginning, back in 1955, man didn't know about the rock 'n roll show and all that jive. The white man had the schmaltz, the black man had the blues, but no one knew what they was gonna do, but Tchaikovsky had the news, he said, let there be rock", Johnson said, "Bon Scott wrote that. And it's a real privilege to accept these awards tonight." In May 2003, Malcolm Young accepted the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Service to Australian Music and paid special tribute to Bon Scott. That same year, the Recording Industry Association of America upgraded the group's US sales figures, increasing their cumulative sales from 46.5 million to 63 million, making AC/DC the fifth-best-selling band in US music history, behind The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Eagles. The RIAA also certified the classic Back in Black album as double diamond (20,000,000) US sales, making it the sixth-best-selling U.S. album in history. As of 2005, the album has sold 21 million copies, moving it into fifth place. On July 30 of the same year, the band gave a performance with the Rolling Stones at the "Sarsfest", Toronto Rocks, in Toronto, Canada. Held before an audience of 500,000, the concert was held to help the city overcome the effects of the 2003 SARS epidemic.

Stiff Upper Lip Johnson has long been working on a musical version of Helen of Troy; he was inspired to do so after seeing Cats and describing it as 'fucking shit, wrist-cuttingly bad'. On 1 October 2004 Melbourne's road Corporation Lane was officially renamed "ACDC Lane" in honour of the band (street names in the City of Melbourne cannot contain the "/" character). It is near Swanston Street, the location where, on the back of a truck, the band recorded their video for the 1975 hit "It's a Long Way to the Top". (Two members of the band were born in Melbourne.) There is another street named after the band in Legans, Spain (near Madrid) Calle de AC/DC, close to other streets named after Iron Maiden and Rosendo, Spanish hard rock legend. In March, 2005, an official two-disc DVD set containing music videos, live clips and promotional videos called Family Jewels was released. The first disc is from the Bon Scott era (with live videos shot ten days before his death), and the second disc is from the Brian Johnson era. [edit]

Name
It has been said by Angus Young that the name's origins are from the back of his sister Margaret Young's sewing machine. The acronym "AC/DC" stands for "Alternating Current/Direct Current" and refers to electrical currents. Angus Young liked the way that this name symbolized the band's energy and "High Voltage Rock'n'Roll". The band was initially unaware of the bisexual connotation of the term; public response finally brought it to their attention. This public perception was exacerbated by their early "glam rock" image, which included satin jumpsuits (common rock attire in the early 1970s) and other costumes including Angus' schoolboy persona. Many bands at the time, however, adopted a deliberately theatrical and androgynous look at the time, including two of Malcolm's heroes: The Rolling Stones and Marc Bolan. Some religious figures have suggested that the name stood for "Anti-Christ/Devil's Children", After Christ /(the) Devil Comes and "Anti Christ / Death to Christ; the

rumour has long persisted both among critics who, already disliking the band's image, use it to paint the band as Satanists, The band has stated this is not true and these accusations are laughed at (Malcolm adding, "Me mum would kill me for that!") . This was also denied stating publicly, "We write songs like this to make a point and to give the listeners a picture in their minds." (For example, the band states that Highway to Hell was written about living life on the road with a touring rock band.) The name AC/DC is pronounced one letter at a time, although the band is nicknamed by its Australian fans as "Acca Dacca", a parody of the AC/DC name. [edit]

Influences and tributes

[edit]

Influence on rock music and other artists

AC/DC has been mentioned by many contemporary and later hard rock, heavy metal and progressive rock bands as an influence, including Anthrax, Bon Jovi, The Darkness, Def Leppard, Dio, Dokken, Dream Theater, Faster Pussycat, Iron Maiden, Great White, Guns N' Roses, Hanoi Rocks, Journey, Megadeth, Metallica, Mtley Cre, Ozzy Osbourne, Poison, Ratt, Rhino Bucket, Saxon, Scorpions, Skid Row, Supagroup, Tool, Twisted Sister, UFO, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Wolfmother and Y&T. Many artists within the punk rock, hardcore punk, grunge, garage rock and alternative rock movements have also cited AC/DC as an influence. Whilst AC/DC themselves were initially critical of the British punk movement of the late 1970s, many artists within the scene drew on AC/DC's energetic, basic and (as some may argue) anticommercialist approach to rock music. AC/DC's legacy on the Australian music scene should not be underestimated. Virtually every Australian rock band to emerge since the mid 1970s has been influenced by AC/DC, including their "contemporaries" within the Australian pub rock movement which emerged at the same time. Some of the notable Australian acts who have acknowledged the influence of AC/DC include Blood Duster, Frenzal Rhomb, Dallas Crane, INXS, Jet, The Living End, Midnight Oil, Powderfinger, Silverchair, Wolfmother, Spiderbait and You Am I.

AC/DC - formata in anul 1973 in orasul Sydney, Australia. Perioada de activitate: 1973 - prezent. Membri: Angus Young (chitara), Malcolm Young (chitara), Brian Johnson (voce), Phil Rudd (tobe), Cliff Williams (bass). Ex-membri: Bon Scott (voce), Mark Evans (bass), Chris Slade (tobe), Simon Wright (tobe), Dave Evans (voce). Stiluri abordate: Hard Rock *AC/DC - discografie AC/DC a fost formata in decembrie 1973, in Australia de catre chitaristul Malcolm Young, dupa ce parasise trupa Velvet Underground. A observat toate beneficiile pe care le poate avea statutul de star rock atunci cand fratele sau, George Young a atins succesul pe cand canta in trupa The EasyBeats, in 1960. Sia dorit foarte mult sa calce pe urmele fratelui sau mai mare, George. De aici, si motivatia lui Malcolm Young. Observandu-l pe fratele sau mai mic, Angus, care la 15 ani era deja un chitarist talentat, l-a ales drept chitarist principal al trupei. Deoarece Angus inca era elev, sora sa i-a sugerat sa

poarte uniforma scolara pe scena. Asa a si facut, iar in timp aceasta imagine a devenit marca sa inregistrata. AC/DC a trecut prin multe schimbari de componenta in primul an de existenta, dar cand au inceput sa aiba parte de concerte peste tot in Australia, trupa era alcatuita in principal de: Dave Evans (voce), Rob Bailey (bass), Peter Clark (tobe) si ce doi frati Young - Malcolm si Young (ambii - chitara). Primul single l-au inregistrat in anul 1974, numit Can I Sit Next to You Girl, nu mult mai tarziu incepand inregistrarile pentru albumul de debut, High Voltage, dar inainte de asta, Clark si Bailey au fost scosi din trupa. Trupa s-a mutat in Melbourne, unde Phil Rudd este adus pentru postul de baterist si Mark Evans - basist. Bon Scott, soferul trupei devine solist pt AC/DC dupa ce Dave Evans, in urma unei dispute cu cei doi frati Young, refuza sa urce pe scena. Au intrat in studio la un scurt interval dupa acel concert. AC/DC lanseaza 2 albume High Voltage si TNT in Australia, in anii 1974, respectiv 1975. In urmatorul an, 1976, trupa a lansat un material si in SUA si UK, continand piese de pe ambele albume lansate in tara lor natala. Imaginea lui Scott a fost benefica pentru trupa, aceasta fiind considerata o trupa haioasa, amuzanta, salbatica, nebuna si violenta, in timp ce Scott era etichetat public drept "neadaptat social". Acestea nu au facut decat sa creasca popularitatea trupei. La acea vreme , hardrock-ul crestea tot mai mult in popularitate, iar AC/DC se incadra de minune in acest curent. Dupa turneul de promovare, trupa reintra in studio pentru a inregistra urmatorul album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, care a fost lansat la sfarsitul anului. La inceputul anunului 1977, Evans paraseste trupa si este inlocuit de Cliff Williams, iar in toamna anului 1977, AC/DC lanseaza albumul Let There Be Rock, care le aduce succesul si in topurile din SUA. Albumul Powerage, lansat in primavara anului 1978, le-a marit numarul de ascultatori, nu in mica masura si datorita concertelor foarte dinamice (concerte ce au fost capturate pe albumul live If You Want Blood, You`ve Got It, in 1978).Consacrarea trupei a venit in anul urmator, odata cu lansarea albumul Highway To Hell, care a ajuns pana pe locul 17 in SUA, si locul 8 in UK, devenind primul album al trupei care s-a vandut in peste 19 milioane de copii in SUA, si in lumea intreaga numarul depasind 42 de milioane de copii vandute.Cand lucrurile pareau ca se aranjasera, viitorul trupei devine incert atunci cand Bon Scott este gasit mort, pe 20 februarie 1980; conform raportului oficial excesul de alcool i-a

fost fatal. In luna urmatoare, este adus Brian Johnson pentru a incerca inlocuirea lui Bon Scott. O luna mai tarziu, acelasi an - 1980, trupa inregistreaza albumul Back In Black, considerat unul dintre cele mai bune albume AC/DC. In urmatorii ani, AC/DC devine una dintre cele mai mari trupe rock din lume, albumul For Those About to Rock We Salute You (1981), urcand tot mai sus in topurile americane. In 1982, Phil Rudd paraseste grupul australian, fiind inlocuit de un tanar in varsta de doar 20 de ani - Simon Wright (care a participat la realizarea a 3 albume de studio - Fly On The Wall, Who Made Who, si Blow Up Your Video). Mai tarziu acest tanar este inlocuit cu Chris Slade, cu care AC/DC a inregistrat un singur album (The Razor's Edge). AC/DC intra intr-o perioada mai putin fasta dupa albumul Flick Of The Switch, 1983, dar revin in 1990 cu albumul The Razor's Edge, care a adus cu sine hit-ul Thunderstruck. Desi albumele nu mai ieseau ca la sfarsitul anilor `70 - inceputul anilor `80, trupa si-a mentinut statutul sau prin turnee internationale. Phil Rudd se intoarce in trupa, si participa la inregistrarea unui nou album. In toamna anului 1995, trupa lanseaza albumul Ballbreaker. Produs de Rick Rubin, acest album a avut parte de cele mai bune recenzii din toata cariera trupei AC/DC. Iar in anul 2000, trupa se intoarce pe scena muzicii rock cu albumul Stiff Upper Lip. In iulie 2003, alaturi de Rolling Stones, AC/DC sunt cap de afis si canta intr-un concert in fata a peste 450.000 persoane in Toronto, Canada. Dupa atatia ani, trupa este inca un nume important pe scena muzicii rock, iar fanii inca pot striga catre idolii lor - "We Salute You"
