About AC/DC
AC/DC's Australian hard rock grew from blues-based guitar riffs, forceful rhythms and direct, emphatic vocals. The band's recordings connect two major vocal eras: the early work with Bon Scott and the period with Brian Johnson after Scott's death. Highway to Hell and Back in Black are useful landmarks across that transition. The group's sound places electric guitars and a firm rhythm section at the center, retaining that approach as its concerts expanded to large arenas.
