Through out their time as a band, They have gained and lost many members, AC/DC are the only band in the world to be able to lose some of its main members, and keep the spirit of their music alive.

The original band members were, Dave Evans (vocals), Angus Young (guitar), Malcolm Young (guitar), Larry Van Kriedt (bass guitar), Colin Burgess (drums)

And through time they swaped some around, with these other members, Rob Bailey (bass guitar), Peter Clack (drums), Tony Currenti (drums), Mark Evans (bass guitar), Brian Johnson (vocals), Phil Rudd (drums), Bon Scott (vocals), Chris Slade (drums), Cliff Williams (bass guitar), Simon Wright (drums), George Young (bass guitar),

But after all this change the band members are currently, Brian Johnson, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, Phil Rudd, AND STILL ROCKIN'

AD/DC brought out many albums (So many that I will put them in another post along with all the songs that they are from, and a link to the lyrics ^_^ ).

It went into the recycling bin anyways. Read the guild rules please.

1: Do not make a topic in the official subforum unless you include at least most of the following. The band, Albums, Members, Bio, Stories, Website, Pics, Ect.

2: Do not spam in this guild unless in a thread for spamming! Bumping is spam...

3: Writes something worthy of being said please. Your guitar was far off-topic from the band.

yea, my nickname in softball was ACDC cuz i was always wearing an ACDC shirt during practice. my coach always called my AC, tho, and my friend was watching the game from behind the dugout one day and my coach yelled "AC, you're on deck!" i got my helmet and then my friend asked, "Whats AC stand for? air conditioning?" i cracked up a little, but then i said "Yea, cuz i'm so cool." the entire dugout cracked up at that one.
but yea, thats my ACDC story.
