A rock band from Australia. It has been disputed exactly what genre of rock music AC/DC is, but wheather they're Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk Rock, or whatever, AC/DC is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. AC/DC has been considered one of the founders of heavy metal, along with bands like KISS and Led Zeppelin. In 1974, AC/DC recruited lead singer Bon Scott, and released a string of LP's. In 1975, they released their first studio album (originally released in Australia only), titled 'High Voltage', followed by 'T.N.T' shortly thereafter. In 1976, they started to gain a little bit of international success, because of the release of 'High Voltage' and 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep' in Europe and the U.S (actually, the U.S didn't see 'Dirty Deeds' in stores until 1981, but whatever). Finally, in 1977, they released their first international album, 'Let There Be Rock'. AC/DC enjoyed radio airply, high album sales, and high grossing tours, for quite some time. Unfortunately, shortly after the release of their 4th international album 'Highway To Hell', singer Bon Scott was found dead in the back of a friends car. He aperantly died because of a combination of Hypothermia, and choking on his own vomit (a popular trend among rock stars). Scott's friend, Ozzy Osbourne, wrote the often misinterpreted song, 'Suicide Solution' about the late singer. Later that year, AC/DC recruited a new singer, the infamous Brian Johnson. They released 'Back In Black' in late 1980. It is now the 5th highest grossing album of all time-selling 21,000,000 copies in the US alone. This was because of the ever popular singles 'Back In Black' and 'You Shook Me All Night Long'. AC/DC continues to release popular albums today, and retains a vast fanbase, even through all of the changes the music industry has endured.
Most fans of AC/DC now days had no clue that they were even from Australia, or that they even had another singer who died, because most AC/DC fans now are just poseurs.

Someone who swings both ways. Bi-sexual. This is a standard slang from the '60's.
He's into girls and guys. He's AC/DC.

A relatively good band from Australia that made it big in 1980 with Back in Black, a silent tribute to the late lead singer Bon Scott. A shirt that says Back in Black is rampant in schools, and the vast majority of the people who wear these shirts and think they're badass oldschoolers have never even heard any of their songs, with the exception of the chorus of Back in Black (the song).

So, in short: A good band that many poseurs claim to like simply because they think it's cool, despite the fact they probably don't own/never downloaded the album.
I was listening to Shoot to Thrill when that motherfucker skate punk who thinks he's the shit strides up to me and says fake-psychedelic-like "Dude, what is that song man? And like, who sings it?". He's wearing a Back in Black shirt, and I say "You must be fucking joking, right? You're wearing a shirt that has the name of the album on it!". He replies "Oh yeah dude! This is AC/DC! Must have had a brain skip dude!"

The greatest Classic Rock band to walk this planet. The lead guitarist is Angus Young. His brother, Malcolm on the rythem guitar, the leadman is Brian Johnson. They are the best of the best.
AC/DC is not metal, its classic rock.
