Customer Reviews

Great, yet not so great AC-DC guide.

As the people close to me know, I love AC-DC. Angus's hard solos, Malcolm's smooth rhythm, and both Bon's and Brian's vocals. Before I bought this book I have read a whole lot of other information not in here. One is that the book didn't mention that the famous "Back in Black" riff was Mal's and not Angus's. One chapter was about the death of AC-DC's first front man, Bon Scott. Everybody was down yet AC-DC still pulled it through with Brian Johnson. There were a few mishaps in that chapter, but for the most part, it was correct. Other than those few missing and wrong facts this is a great book about the great AC-DC. It tells info about all of the great albums, and not so great albums, about Bon and Brian, and many more. This book is for any rocker who wants a little background or for somebody who just wants to read something. That is why I gave it a 4 out of 5

Out of all the Biographies I have read on musicians, this one takes the cake. it gives you all the details you need and want to know, wether you're a new fan or if you have been listening to them since the beginning. I give this book a straight 5 Stars!
