AC/DC: For Those About to Rock
To millions of fans AC/DC will always be the greatest hard rock band of them all. From their formation in Sydney, Australia in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, AC/DC have made the most visceral and single-minded rock, and inspired generations of rock icons from Def Leppard to Guns N’ Roses and Metallica.
The basic blueprint laid down in their early albums with Bon Scott – hard, no-nonsense, riff-driven rock’n’roll – has served them well with more than 200 million records sold, including the best-selling rock album of all time – Back in Black.
Paul Elliott documents AC/DC’s career from backstory to their latest album, 2014’s Rock Or Bust, offering real insight into the band’s enduring success and rise to rock royalty.

An excellent read , encompassing the history of the loudest and greatest rock'n'roll band that is out there - and they keep on rockin' even as I right this short note! Starting from their beginning in the '70 ( man I wasn't even born when they started!!) , emphasizing on the Bon Scott era , the tragic death of Bon than changed everything , the Brian Johnson era ... so on so on up till the release of their latest album Power Up in 2020
The pictures are great , the bits and pieces of the interviews over the years are meaningful and supporting the material in a very nice way.
Overall a great read - especially for metalheads but not only!!
It's a ling way to the top if you wanna rock and roll !!
