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.
