AC/DC – Thunderstruck

More about AC/DC

AC/DC, an emblem of rock music's enduring power, was formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Their music, a raucous blend of hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, quickly set the global music scene ablaze. AC/DC's early years were marked by a relentless touring schedule and a series of album releases that would become cornerstones of rock music, including 'High Voltage' (1975), 'Let There Be Rock' (1977), and the seminal 'Highway to Hell' (1979). The untimely death of charismatic frontman Bon Scott in 1980 could have spelled the end for the band, but AC/DC rebounded with the recruitment of Brian Johnson as their new lead vocalist. The same year, they released 'Back in Black', a monumental tribute to Scott, which catapulted them to global superstardom and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, AC/DC continued to release a string of successful albums and maintained a reputation for electrifying live performances. Despite the departure of key members, including Malcolm Young due to health issues, the band persevered, adapting to the changing music landscape while staying true to their hard rock roots. AC/DC's influence on rock music is immeasurable, inspiring countless bands and earning them a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Their legacy is a testament to the enduring appeal of rock 'n' roll, characterized by their signature sound, unforgettable riffs, and relentless energy.
