AC/DC: For Those About to Rock: 50th Anniversary Edition

Description:

New updated edition in celebration of AC/DC’s 50th anniversary in 2023

To millions of fans AC/DC will always be the greatest hard rock band of them all, this handsome biography from acclaimed rock biographer, Paul Elliott, is a fitting salute to rock's royal family.

From their formation in Sydney, Australia in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, AC/DC have made the most visceral and single-minded rock, and inspired generations of rock icons from Def Leppard to Guns N’ Roses and Metallica.

The basic blueprint laid down in their early albums with Bon Scott―hard, no-nonsense, riff-driven rock ’n’ roll― has served them well with more than 200 million records sold, including the best-selling rock album of all time―Back in Black.

Illustrated with more than 200 photographs, acclaimed rock writer Paul Elliott documents AC/DC’s career from backstory to their latest album―2020’s Power Up (PWR/UP) offering real insight into the band’s enduring success and rise to rock royalty.


Review

This lavishly illustrated book - which features a treasure trove of rare shots throughout - [is] a weighty, worthy addition to the AC/DC canon.

Fantastic book loved it I learned a bit more about Bon, having been lucky enough to AC/DC. A few times the thing is not one person is the greatest musician apart from maybe Malcom! But what makes them the best they play every show like it’s the last one Amazing Angus Angus

Klasse. Hab es als "beschädigt" gekauft. Ist an der Ecke ein wenig angeditcht,aber vollkommen ok. Tolles Buch, tolle Bilder. Kann ich allen AC/DC Fans empfehlen, die der englischen Sprache mächtig sind

A writer well suited for a no nonsense band

M.C. · 4 August 2022

I read a lot of rock bios. Some feature too many side stories down rabbit holes. The most recent Zeppelin bio is a good example. On one hand the research on things like influences is impressive but who really cares? Elliot strikes an excellent balance between the stuff we want (whole lotta Rosie origin stories) and excessive micro details. His writing is clear and accessible. I learned a lot about a band I’ve loved for years. Recall popping the back in black 8 track into the player on my truck the day it came out. Having mourned the death of Bon like many of my peers, the intro to Hell’s Bells gave me chills. The band can be proud of this bio. It is an honest account of their work and well worth the time of any fan of rock, in the days when music required talent.

Schnelle Lieferung.
