The Inside Story of AC/DC's Back In Black

[boedicca]

This is a great read...

I will correct one mistake: Angust didn't wear his old school uniform. His sister made it for him to wear in the band.

Back In Black is many things. With more than 50 million units shifted, it is the biggest selling rock album of all time. For many, it is also the greatest hard rock record ever made.

It was the album that turned AC/DC into superstars, and it has been inspiration to countless rock bands for 40 years, from Def Leppard to Metallica, Guns N’ Roses to The Darkness.

Most remarkable of all is what Back In Black represents on a human level, for AC/DC’s greatest success followed their darkest hour: the death of their singer Bon Scott.

Most bands would have been broken by such a loss. But with Back In Black - “our tribute to Bon,” as lead guitarist Angus Young called it - AC/DC pulled off the greatest comeback in rock history. It is, in the words of Slash, “One of the huge Cinderella stories of rock ’n’ roll.”

It was the record that resurrected a band in mourning. From tragedy to triumph, this is the story of AC/DC’s greatest victory...

I think he does a fine job in his role. And he's certainly contributed to the band's longevity.

the only reason for the bands longevity is because of the young brothers....

Actually Bon Scott was a big fan of Brian Johnson. And he liked the way Johnson would run around with his guitarist riding piggy back. So Bon started doing it too.

Well, that's a matter of opinion. I disagree. And as Malcolm has passed away, it's more than Angus keeping them going.

since johnston retired in 2016 it isnt him helping....and with Axel Rose as their new lead singer bon is turning over in his grave...

The rumors are that Johnson is recording a new albums with the band, so we'll see.

I'd say that Bon Scott's opinion regarding the quality of the singer who replaced him is rather germane.

bon scott was 10 times the vocalist and lyricist that Johnson is....AC/DC died when he did...

Yes, he probably was. But Shook Me All Night Long is a masterclass in hard rock no matter who sang it. And you have to acknowledge that Angus is the frontman for the band anyway.
