AC/DC Has A Hold On Me ~ And I Love It

After the Sars-stock concert in July, I have been unable to keep ACDC music from blasting out of my speakers. Before this concert, I thought of ACDC as a relatively successful 80's band; never really paying much more attention than that. Now I think of them as one of the better groups in rock and roll history.

What has really hooked me on them is the fact that they seem to be very down to earth and quite honestly, nice people with good personalities. Various specials have been aired featuring the band and its members, most notably Brian Johnson and Angus Young. They seem unaffected by their status as immensely popular rock stars, more surprised than anything else at their gigantic success in North America and abroad. Many interviewers have said that the two aforementioned ACDC members were the most pleasant and co-operative celebrities they have ever interviewed.

I picked up the ACDC Live album in August and it has been in my stereo ever since. I cannot seem to stop singing their songs. Recently, I've been told by many people that Back In Black is one of the best rock albums ever to be produced, so naturally I felt compelled to pick it up. What an album that is. Every song is one for which I would use the repeat function on my stereo.

Back In Black was released in 1980 after the death of former lead singer Bon Scott. The band hired Brian Johnson as a replacement but never thought they would have any more success. Let's face it, in the music business; bands that loose their lead singers rarely experience any further success. AC/DC; however, experienced quite the opposite. They have sold over 20 million copies of Back In Black, their silent tribute to Bon Scott. Let me tell you, buying this album will definitely be one of the best musical decisions you have ever made.
