AC/DC at 50
AC/DC - Book - by Martin Popoff
(2023)
A beautifully produced, photo-packed celebration of the
ultimate rock band, AC/DC at 50 examines the extraordinary history of the
Australian rockers through the lens of 50 milestone events and an illustrated
gatefold timeline.
Formed in Australia in 1973, AC/DC became one of the most
popular and best-selling bands in rock history with their loud, heavy,
sweat-drenched, blues-based rock. This richly illustrated book from prolific
rock journalist Martin Popoff pays tribute to the band on the occasion of their
50th anniversary by curating and examining the 50 most significant milestones.
Popoff covers everything down through the decades:
The role played by the Angus and Malcolm Young’s older brother, George
The songwriting, legendary antics, and tragic death of vocalist Bon Scott
The mega tours undertaken in support of the LPs
The debut of singer Brian Johnson on the band’s mega breakthrough, Back in Black
The band’s fallow 1980s and 1990s resurgence
Later difficulties, such as Malcolm’s onset of dementia and passing and the legal problems of drummer Phil Rudd
And, of course,
each of the landmark studio LPs
In examining 50 touchstones, Popoff provides a unique
presentation of AC/DC’s career arc from Sydney pub band to international
mega-platinum stadium fillers. Every page is illustrated with stunning concert
and candid offstage photography, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves,
ticket stubs, and more.
The result is an epic tribute to one of the most influential and admired bands in rock history—in a milestone year.
