THE BIRTH OF AC/DC

AC/DC was formed in Sydney, Australia in November of 1973. The band was originally composed of Malcolm Young on guitar, Angus Young on guitar and lead vocals, Colin Burgess on drums, and Larry Van Kriedt on bass. The name AC/DC was chosen to reflect the band's high-energy, electrifying sound. The band's early musical style was heavily influenced by blues-based rock and roll and hard rock, with elements of punk and heavy metal.

In their early years, AC/DC struggled to find commercial success and had a rotating lineup of musicians. Despite these difficulties, the band continued to tour and perform, building a dedicated fanbase along the way. In 1974, singer Dave Evans was replaced by Bon Scott, marking a major turning point for the band.

Under the guidance of producer George Young, AC/DC's sound began to evolve, incorporating more of a hard rock edge. This newfound focus on heavy, hard-hitting rock music helped the band break into the mainstream and earn critical acclaim.
