The acronyms for the electrical terms: Alternating Current and Direct Current. AC/DC adapters will convert AC current (typically household 120volts in the US) to typically a lower voltage in DC. An AC/DC adapter - converter will usually consist of a transformer, 2 or more diodes and often a capacitor. A famous band was named after this term, which was suggested by their sister Margaret after she read it on an electric sewing machine's label. The name of the band has strangely been interpreted as bisexual or Satanist at times.

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: 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.

The best band of all time. Even though there fan base is becoming out of hand with posers/losers, they still rock.
AC/DC is the best band ever! Yay!
