High Voltage (1987, Albert, CDP 746667 2, Japan for Australia)ġ975. Throughout their career they favored crude double entendres and violent imagery, all spiked with a mischievous sense of fun. More importantly, he helped cement the group’s image as brutes - he had several convictions on minor criminal offenses and was rejected by the Australian Army for being “socially maladjusted.” And AC/DC were socially maladjusted. Previously, Scott had been vocalist for the Australian prog rock bands Fraternity and the Valentines. The band’s chauffeur, Bon Scott, became the lead vocalist when singer Dave Evans refused to go on-stage.

The band moved to Melbourne the following year, where drummer Phil Rudd (formerly of the Coloured Balls) and bassist Mark Evans joined the lineup. While still in Sydney, the original lineup featuring singer Dave Evans cut a single called “Can I Sit Next to You,” with ex-Easybeats Harry Vanda and George Young (Malcolm and Angus’ older brother) producing. Angus was only 15 years old at the time and his sister suggested that he should wear his school uniform on-stage the look became the band’s visual trademark. With his younger brother Angus serving as lead guitarist, the band played some gigs around Sydney. Combined with Bon Scott’s larynx-shredding vocals, the band spawned countless imitators over the next two decades and enjoyed commercial success well into the 2000s, scoring their biggest hits after Brian Johnson replaced the departed Scott.ĪC/DC were formed in 1973 in Australia by guitarist Malcolm Young after his previous band, the Velvet Underground, collapsed (Young’s band has no relation to the seminal American group). AC/DC’s rock was minimalist - no matter how huge and bludgeoning their guitar chords were, there was a clear sense of space and restraint. In its own way, it was a reaction against the pompous art rock and lumbering arena rock of the early ’70s.
