AC/DC Sheet Music

About AC/DC

AC/DC is a legendary Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Recognized globally for their distinctive hard rock, blues rock, and rock and roll sound, which the band themselves often simply refer to as "rock and roll", they are one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Their high-energy, raw, and guitar-driven music has left an indelible mark on music history, influencing countless bands and earning them an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.

  • The band's iconic name, AC/DC, was inspired by an abbreviation for "alternating current/direct current" found on their sister Margaret Young's sewing machine, which the brothers felt symbolized their raw energy and power.
  • AC/DC has been fronted by two highly acclaimed vocalists: Bon Scott, who sang on their early influential albums until his tragic death in 1980, and Brian Johnson, who joined subsequently and propelled the band to even greater international success.
  • Their 1980 album, "Back in Black," released as a tribute to Bon Scott, is the second best-selling album of all time worldwide, showcasing their enduring appeal and impact.
  • Lead guitarist Angus Young is instantly recognizable for his signature schoolboy uniform stage attire, an idea suggested by his sister Margaret to differentiate him from other band members during early performances.
