After a short audition, they agreed to welcome him as the new singer. One of loyal supporters advised them to try Brian Johnson.
It took the musicians a long while to make a decision to carry on. However, the band was on the verge of collapse after Bon Scott’s accidental death in 1980. That was one of the greatest contributions to the world rock legacy of all times. AC/DC reached the peak of the world fame with the album Highway To Hell (1979). The style of AC/DC, on the brink of breaking the rules, did not make everybody happy, which shut the access for the musicians to some venues. The extravagant attitude on stage and beyond, bold and rough lyrics, and, finally, spectacular and skilful performances made AC/DC a significant figure in the British rock music world. At those times, AC/DC were honored to accompany Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Kiss, The Who and many other celebrated musicians. This was followed by tours in the UK and Europe. The band managed to draw attention from many recording companies and soon signed a contract with Atlantic Records. The first hit by AC/DC was the song It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll). The new band used to show up on TV regularly, which accelerated their rise to glory in Australia. By 1975, Angus and Malcolm Young, Bon Scott, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd had constituted the stable lineup of AC/DC. Their first vocalist Dave Evans was quickly replaced by the future world superstar Bon Scott. AC/DC are an Australian band formed by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young.
