AC/DC: For Those About to Rock

From their formation in Sydney, Australia in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, AC/DC have made the most visceral and single-minded rock, and inspired generations of rock icons from Def Leppard to Guns N’ Roses and Metallica.

The basic blueprint laid down in their early albums with Bon Scott—hard, no-nonsense, riff-driven rock ’n’ roll— has served them well with more than 200 million records sold, including the best-selling rock album of all time—Back in Black.

Illustrated with more than 200 photographs, acclaimed rock writer Paul Elliott documents AC/DC’s career from backstory to their latest album—2020’s Power Up (PWR/UP)—offering real insight into the band’s enduring success and rise to rock royalty.

This handsome biography from acclaimed rock biographer, Paul Elliott, is a fitting salute to rock's royal family.
