AC/DC Prints
The Aussie heroes were famously dubbed ‘the thunder from down under’ by Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler...
But their influence has been felt globally, since their violent appearance on the scene with their debut album ‘High Voltage’ in 1973. Formed by guitar-playing brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, AC/DC’s impact on rock has been profound. Malcolm forged the groove-laden backbone for unmistakable riffs like ‘T.N.T.’ and ‘Highway to Hell’, while Angus gave the band its visual identity with his devil-red Gibson and mischievous schoolboy uniform. While AC/DC’s 1975 single ‘It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ’n’ Roll)’ accepts the hardships of life in a hard rocking band, it couldn’t predict the sudden death of frontman Bon Scott in 1980. These images are a reminder of their incredible legacy.
