![]() ![]() Although the bands music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, the members themselves call it simply 'rock and roll'. A staple of the band's live set throughout the '70s and early '80s, many consider "Problem Child"'s explosive rendition on the If You Want Blood You Got It to be definitive. AC/DC (stylised as ACDC) is an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Which brings up another interesting point about AC/DC: namely how pretty much every aspiring rock guitarist (and "problem child") learns his chops jamming on the band's simple songs, but few eventually muster the moxie to cover them. Arguably the centerpiece of the excellent Dirty Deeds album, the fact that it was never even given a single release also stands as a testament to AC/DC's workmanlike, blue-collar ethic. One of AC/DC's best-known early classics, the song was tailor-made to exploit guitarist Angus Young's on-stage schoolboy character ("What I want I stash, What I don't I smash, n' you're on my list"), but its brilliantly simple riff also epitomizes AC/DC's three-chord hard rock boogie in its inimitable, minimalist perfection. ![]() Most Recently Played Septemat Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
