For the true fans of AC/DC, no matter how long you have been a fan, and you get AC/DC's message...you have good taste in music and you know how to rock. Some information i provide may be less than accurate so ONLY the TRUE fans are allowed to correct me.
For the Posers of the AC/DC band listen very carefully as I correct every fucking thing you have mis-stated:
AC/DC is stands for Alternate Current/Direct Current which was proposed by the Young brother's sister, who found it on the back of a sewing machine. Their Australian fans call them Acca Dacca. If you want proof i highly suggest reading the interview with them prior to their Stiff Upper Lip album on Yahoo launch. Their name was not intentionally implying ANYTHING about Satanism as they have also publicly denied. So NO...It does NOT stand for Anti-Christ/Devil's Children.
Angus's school uniform on stage was also suggested by his sister. Both the Young brothers are scottish born. AC/DC is in the hard/classic rock genre. It became considered "classic" because of comparison to todays contemporary genres but considered "hard" back in their own times. Metal had not even existed when the band had began...being that rock and roll had only been created two decades prior to their first gig. Unless your brain dead, all their albums were excellent...unless your not a true fan.
AC/DC's message was nothing more than to rock'n'roll and nothing less. Angus's influence in guitaring includes blues players such as Chuck Berry, which explains why his solo's are very bluesy based with heavier distortion. His signature guitar is the Gibson SG. Angus began playing guitar when he was 5 years old but got more into it in later years.
None of the band members are gay as suggested by the name connotation, which they weren't aware of, because Angus is married to his wife Ellen.
Angus was 15 when the band began.
The first singer was Dave Evans who had been with them in '73 but left in '74 because Angus and Malcom didn't think he was suitable because he was more of a glam rocker.
Bon Scott was the band chauffeur at the time and was then the frontman of the band. He then died ten days after Highway To Hell was made when found dead because well...lets say he "partied hardy".
Brian Johnson became their next singer and made the album "Back in Black" with it being black as a tribute to Bon. The Bonfire Box set was also a huge tribute to Bon Scott.
There are lots of tribute bands to them that suck and will never compare such as the fagg band Hayseed Dixie, which does nothing more than mock their way of rocking.
AC/DC has publicly stated and we fans hold them to their promise "Rock is never gonna die".
They are working on their next album which was suppose to come in 2004 but will probably come out much later so get your money and start saving for a concert tour in the US and/or UK.
If you've never SEEN or HEARD Bon Scott rocking with AC/DC you should buy the Family Jewels dvd because there are twenty songs with him in it. It's only twenty freakin' bucks you cheap shits.
If you own, have owned, use to own one of Brian Johnson's hats, an Angus Dollar Bill, Angus's signature guitar, or were the one who won the eBay auction to have a guitar lesson with Angus Young, the guitar meister extraordinaire...your a very lucky bastard as you own a legacy of Rock and Roll that lasted more than 30 years and continues.

AC/DC is one of the greatest bands in history.
they started out doing their first gigs in clubs (first gig in checkers club - sydney).
The Line Up-
Angus Young - Lead Guitar
Malcolm Young - Rhythm Guitar, Backing Vocals
Cliff Williams - Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals
Phil Rudd - Drums
Brian Johnson- Lead Vocals
Their Original Lead singer was Dave Evans...but due to *clashes with personality* he left and was replaced with legendary vocalist Bon Scott. Bon Scott was arguably the best singer in the world...(ok that may be going a little to far) but due to a terrible drinking problem and some drug use he died in the back of an old renault shortly after a long night of drinking. He was 33 years old. R.I.P Bon.
AC/DC became one of the greatest rock bands in History next to the Rolling Stones. They've made Rock history with some of their 1# songs such as

AC/DC: One of the greatest rock bands in the world. Members include Angus young,Brian Jonson, Cliff Williams, Phill Rudd, And Malcom Young. Sometimes mistaken to be bisexual and satanistic. Their name came from the electrical term alternating current / direct current and represents their high energy rock 'n' roll.

Okay, I'm geting really sick of this. AC-DC never has, and never will, stand for "Anti-Christ Devil's Child: You people who think so are stupid and should just stop breathing. AC-DC stands for Alternating Current / Direct Current, referring to electrical power. The stupid people's definition comes from a prick who was on trial for murder and said that this was the reason he did it.
Ask any electrition.

one of the best friggin bands ever. founded in 1974 by Malcom and Angus Young. the bands first album was High Voltage. the band had a ton of lineup changes when they were first forming, but they got a stable one in 1975. it was Malcolm Young (rhythym guitar), Angus Young (lead guitarist), Phil Rudd (drums), Bon Scott (vocals), and Mark Evans (bass). Mark was fired in 1977, and replaced with Cliff Williams. Bon died from alcohol asphyxiation in early 1980. he was replaced by Brian Johnson later that year. Phil was fired in '83, after getting in a fist-fight with Malcolm. he was replaced by Simon Wright, who was then replaced by Chris Slade in 1989. Phil rejoined in '94. their name means "Alternate Current/Direct Current", and it was seen on the back of some appliance (some say a sewing machine, some say a vaccuum). it does not mean "Anti-Christ, Devil Child" they are NOT an anti-Christ band. Angus played guitar in a church as a kid, actually.
