Private Stock, AC/DC.


Welcome to PRIVATE STOCK. One of the Greatest bands of All Time AC/DC was formed in Australia in 1973 by two brothers Malcom and Angus Young. The band's line up had many changes through the years. The band first album was released only in Australia in 1975 and this was the band line up.
Malcom Young- guitar.
Angus Young- guitar.
Bon Scott- vocals.
Phil Rudd- drums.
Mark Evans- bass.
The power and intensity of their music and their shows made them a Legend. Lets remember some of that first line up with Bon Scott on vocals. "Highway to Hell"

In those early years the band gain popularity with songs like "High Voltage" and "It's a Long Way to the Top If You Wanna Rock'n' Roll". In 1976 AC/DC signed a contract with Atlantic Records and released their first album with worldwide distribution "High Voltage" and the rest is history, the band sold three million copies of that album, that was just the beginning. From the Bon Scott era check out another great song, "Girls Got Rhythm"

Tragedy hit the band when Bon Scott die in February 19 of 1980 after drinking too much. The band almost quitt but they believe that Bon Scott would have wanted the band to keep rocking. Brian Johnson replaced Bon Scott that year. AC/DC is probably the only band to achieve so much success with both of their singers is incredible.
The Brian Johnson era started with the released of one of their must succesfull albums "Back in Black". Here check out AC/DC with Brian Johnson on vocals this is
