AC/DC begins in Sydney (Australia) at 1973 by two brothers, Angus and Malcolm Young. When the singer Bond Scott arrives to the band, the band was been succesful. In a few time the band was acepted by the people. The band was complete by Phil Rudd with the drums and Cliff Williams with the bass. As 1980 began, the band began work in a new album called Back in Black, but Bond Scott would not see it finished, because he was dead. The album, was in memory of the singer and it was been in the most famous album of the group. 

3. Why AC/DC is called AC/DC?

Malcolm and Angus Young developed the idea for the band's name after their sister, Margaret Young, saw the initials "AC/DC" on a sewing machine. "AC/DC" is an abbreviation meaning "alternating current/direct current" electricity. The brothers felt that this name symbolized the band's raw energy, power-driven performances of their music.

thrown to the lions

Yes I'm, let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about

Forget the herse 'cause I'll never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Usin' every one of them and running wild

CHORUS:
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
(Well) I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang
With a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm leadin' the pack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way

CHORUS

Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black

 (Live At River Plate-Let There Be Rock)

In the beginning
back in nineteen fifty-five
man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
and all that jive
the white man had the smoltz
the black man had the blues
no one knew what they was gonna do
but tchaikovsky had the news
he said -
"let there be light", and there was light
"let there be sound", and there was sound
"let there be drums", and there was drums
"let there be guitar", and there was guitar
"let there be rock"
And it came to pass
that rock 'n' roll was born
all across the land every rockin' band
was blowing up a storm
the guitarman got famous
the businessman got rich
and in every bar there was a super star
with a seven year itch
there were fifteen million fingers
learning how to play
and you could hear the fingers picking
and this is what they had to say
"let there be light"
"sound"
"drums"
"guitar"
"let there be rock"
One night in a club called `the shaking hand'
there was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
the music was good and the music was loud
and the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
"let there be rock"
