BIOGRAPHY OF AC/DC

I sumed up all the long biography of AC/DC in a few paragraphs.

The band began with Malcom, and after Angus went into it. The idea of the name AC/DC is for the sister, Margaret Young. And, in this situation, they began to playing with Dave Evans (singer), Colin Burgess (drums), and Larry Van Knedt (bass guitar). Their first concert was in 1973.

In 1974 the bass guitar and the drums began to change a lot. In the end, Rob Baily (bass) and Peter Clack (drums) stayed in AC/DC; and also a new singer went into the band: Bon Scott (before he was the trucker of the band). From 1975 to 1977 Mark Evans played the bass, and Phil Rudd played the drums until 1983 (and he returns in 1995).

In 1977 Cliff Williams began to play the bass in AC/DC up to date. But the 19th February 1980, Ronald Belford (Bon) Scott dies unfortunately in the a friend's car, Alisdair Kinnear. A bad position and the effects of the coca  did that this happened. From then, the singer is Brian Johnson. 

From 1983 to 1995 (when Phil Rudd returns) Chris Slade and Simon Wright played drums; Phil is now playing in the band.
 

Curiosities:
The idea of the name AC/DC is for the sister, Margaret Young, because it is wrote behind her vacuum cleaner.
Angus likes very much tea and milk, he don't drink alcohol.
Chuck Berry was the master of Angus.
Everybody in AC/DC has children except Angus.
Bon was married, but he got divorced.
