The band's eighth studio album, For Those About to Rock (1981), was their first album to reach number one in the United States. It was a widespread success, launching the band to new heights and becoming the second best-selling album of all time. Their first album with Johnson, Back in Black (1980), was dedicated to Scott's memory. However, at the request of Scott's parents, they continued together and recruited English singer Brian Johnson as their new frontman. Seven months after the release of the band's breakthrough album Highway to Hell (1979), Scott died of alcohol poisoning and the other members considered disbanding. Evans was fired from the band in 1977 and replaced by Cliff Williams, who has since appeared on every album since Powerage (1978). Membership subsequently stabilised around the Young brothers with Bon Scott (lead vocals), Mark Evans (bass) and Phil Rudd (drums). ĪC/DC underwent several line-up changes before releasing their first album, High Voltage (1975). Their music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, but the band calls it simply " rock and roll".
AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm (rhythm guitar) and Angus Young (lead guitar).
