AC/DC: Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be

Mick Wall Penetrates The Closed World Of Aussie Rock Legends Ac/dc. Ac/dc Moved To Britain From Sydney In 1975, And Soon Set Up A Residency At London's Marquee Club. Their Short Hair (including The Odd Mullet), Loud Rock And Attitude Chimed Well With The Lingering Pub Rock And Soon-to-be Punk Crowd. They Weren't Really A Band For Guitar Solos, And Singer Bon Scott Was The Original Bike-riding, Speed-snorting, Fighting Man. An Ex-convict He Lived Life Fast And Short; He Died In February 1980, Just Before Back In Black, Their Huge-selling Album, Took Off And The Second Period Of Ac/dc (with Brian Johnson As Lead Vocalist) Was Ushered In. Back In Black Has Gone On To Sell 45 Million Copies Worldwide, And As The Band Have Become A Global Phenomenon So Their Reclusiveness Has Increased. Mick Wall, The Don Of Heavy Metal Writing, Seeks To Penetrate The Wall Around The Young Brothers, And Write The First Authoritative, In-depth Critical Account Of Ac/dc.
