It will be the 18th cd of the australian band, but the first without the guitarist Malcolm Young who has decided to leave the band after he has been diagnosed with dementia.
It’s the second disaster that strikes the band
The Ac/Dc, founded in Australia 41 years ago by the brothers Angus, lead guitarist, and Malcolm Young, rhythm guitarist, have already had to deal with very difficult situations in the past.
In 1980 the original singer Bon Scott died in his car as a result of the effects of an indigestion caused by excessive alcohol intake. To replace him in the band has been Brian Johnson.
With this powerful singer the Ac/Dc realized, also because of the trauma that they have experienced, the album that put them forever among the legends of rock. ‘Back in black’ sold 50 million of copies worldwide and is still the best-selling album of all times behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Ac/Dc’s greatest albums
- High voltage, 1976.
- Let there be rock, 1977.
- Highway to hell, 1979.
- Back in black, 1980.
- For those about the rock we salute you, 1981.
Young’s dynasty goes on
Malcolm’s abandonment will not stop the band that after the release of the new album will make a tour around the world, moreover Angus will not remain the only member of the Young’s family inside of Ac/Dc. His brother will be replaced at the rhythm guitar by his nephew Stevie.
After six years since the release of ‘Black ice’, the Ac/Dc’s last album, the fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Cd. The positive aspect is that waiting to hear the new songs they can always listen to the old and timeless hit of the Australian band.
