Few bands have embodied the archetype of a rock band like AC/DC. Their look, their sound, their attitude made them the perfect role model for numerous rock musicians since the 1970s. The Australian rock band, formed by brothers Angus and Malcom Young, gave the world rock anthems like Highway to Hell and Hells Bells, which are blasted out as loudly today as they were 50 years ago. Browse our sheet music and scores, and explore the wide world of AC/DC with Stretta Music today!
After Bon Scott’s death, Brian Johnson took over the vocals for AC/DC in 1980. His raspy voice, as well as the energetic performances of lead guitarist Angus Young in his school uniform and his ’duckwalk’ are hallmarks of AC/DC that are copied, referenced and caricatured again and again. AC/DC are a piece of pop culture and a perfect model of a hard rock band.
It is not only their appearance as the epitome of a hard rock band, but also their songs that are rock milestones: Thunderstruck, You Shook Me All Night Long or Back in Black feature in all the best-of-metal playlists. The Angus Young’s rapid electric guitar runs and the Malcom Young’s hard riffs act as benchmarks for many metal and rock musicians today.
