A rock solid colour edition to coincide with the upcoming Black Ice world tour. A hundred and fifty million albums ago, AC/DC were delivering unforgettable performances - Bon Scott dressed as the schoolgirl from hell on one occasion, Angus Young somewhere inside a gorilla costume on another. In the thirty years since, the band has signposted the sexual encounters, drunken adventures, fights, weddings, births, funerals, new cars and new tattoos of literally millions of lives from Brussels to Brisbane, Montreal to Manchester and all points between. Not only did they manage to emerge from Bon's tragic death in 1980, but in a bitter-sweet irony, the band's fortunes and status skyrocketed around the world with his replacement, Brian Johnson, and the album Back in Black. AC/DC show no sign of slowing down and are more an institution than simply a rock band. Try to imagine a world without them.
Arnaud Durieux is a former rock journalist who has followed AC/DC's career for 25 years, amassing the largest archive of AC/DC material anywhere in the world. One of the most respected rock journalists in the country, Murray Engleheart has written for countless magazines all over the world for more than a quarter of a century. He is also the co-author of the best selling AC/DC: MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL.
