| Who was the original singer for the band? | ACDC!
|
Dave Evans. Very few people have heard of this guy, I didn't til recently. Apparently, Dave didn't have the right persona to represent the type of music they played.
| What country were the Youngs originally from? | ACDC!
|
Scotland. They were born in Scotland, then later moved to Australia, where the band hit it big. Does anyone know if they still live there, or back in the UK? I'm assuming it's the latter...
| "She gave me the Jack" - In "The Jack", what is Bon REALLY talking about getting? | ACDC!
|
A sexually transmitted disease. The Jack is slang for gonorrhea. The original lyrics from the studio album weren't as blatant as what Bon sang on the live album. But were quite clever, in my opinion.
| What was the title of the band's first live album? | ACDC!
|
If You Want Blood . What a great album! The opening riffs to 'Riff Raff' are awesome. The album cover is pretty cool too, showing Angus getting his guitar shoved through his stomach.

|
Powerage. Other standout songs on this albumn include "Riff Raff" and "Sin City."
| What kind of guitar does Angus Young play in concert? | ACDC!
|
Gibson SG. Been playing an 'SG as for as long as I can tell! Sure it sounds good, but I wonder if he also likes it because the double cutaways look like horns....?

TNT . Where the heck does 'Oi' come from?! Must be an Australian thing.

Was Angus and Malcolm's brother. George Young was in an Australian band called The Easybeats, who had a hit tune called, 'Friday on My Mind.' His being a musician helped Angus and Malcolm follow the same path.
| The songs, 'Girls Got Rhythm," "Night Prowler," and "Touch Too Much,' are on what album? | ACDC!
|
Highway to Hell. My all-time favorite ACDC album! It's a shame that Bon died, who knows how good the next album would've been with him...
| What's the significance of the name 'Geordie'? | ACDC!
|
Brian Johnson's previous band. Brian was named lead singer within a few months of Bon's tragic death. What a screamer! I'm still baffled how Brian can actually produce those throat-shredding sounds night after night. According to one source (www.ac-dc.net) GEORDIE once toured in the UK with an opening band called FRATERNITY, who's lead singer at the time was...Bon Scott!
| What is the unusual (for ACDC) instrument found on 'It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock and Roll)'? | ACDC!

bagpipes. I believe Bon Scott played them. The Youngs and Bon were of Scottish decent.

For Those About to Rock . Fire! Pretty loud in concert, with smoke rings floating over the audience.

Brian Johnson. Brian was born in 1947
Cliff Williams in '49
Malcolm in '53
Phil in '54
and "baby" Angus in '55 or '59, depending on which source you believe.

|
false. I said slow song, not ballad. "Little Lover, The Jack, Night Prowler, and Ride On" were a few of their slow songs. Apparently, they did release a ballad called "Love Song" on the Australian version of the High Voltage album.
| What distinction did 'Back in Black' gain after it's release? | ACDC!
|
Biggest selling Heavy Metal album ever. T E N M I L L I O N sold at that time. That's a lotta vinyl. P.S. As of December 2002, the 'Back in Black' album has sold over FORTY million copies.
| Who was the producer for 'Highway to Hell', 'Back in Black', and 'For Those About to Rock'? | ACDC!
|
Robert 'Mutt' Lange. Mutt kicked butt on 'Highway' especially. Mutt has produced a LOT of huge-selling albums, including some with Def Leppard, Foreigner, and The Cars. He recently produced the hit album of, and married Shania Twain. Lucky man!
| What are the very last words you hear Bon Scott speaking on the last song of the last album he ever recorded? | ACDC!
|
Shazbot. Nanu Nanu.. It's at the end of 'Night Prowler.' I guess he was a fan of the TV sitcom, 'Mork and Mindy,' which was popular at the time. Rock on, Bon.
