An excellent and engaging history of ACDC, as told by legendary rock journalist Malcolm Dome. Malcolm recounts the Acca Dacca story and presents it with dozens of photos and article snippets from the archives of SOUNDS and KERRANG! magazines. There's no shortage of AC/DC books out there, but Malcolm's inside knowledge and enthusiastic writing style make this one stick out from the rest. A great work from a great writer. RIP Malcom Dome.

1st Read: July 3, 1996 - July 10, 1996
Pretty good stuff! The Bon Scott years were especially interesting! Gotta love a band that has put out virtually the same album continually since 1976, and always sounding good! These guys were my first ever concert on their Who Made Who Tour in '86. Splendidly awesome! I had nic-named Angus young, "The Energizer Bunny of Rock and Roll" after that, as he does not stop moving on that stage! This is a damn fine read and a great add to anyone's collection of musician/band biographies and auto-biographies.

A great overview of the one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands of all time!

A good band biography. A decent amount of Bon Scott information.
