It seems impossible to believe 35 years later, but AC/DC were actually dropped by their American record label prior to the release of their fourth studio album, ‘Let There Be Rock.’
AC/DC front man Brian Johnson is your average ordinary bloke. He likes fast cars, fast women, rock and roll and cannons. But those cannons, as featured during the band’s powerful stages shows, aren’t always his best friend.
It’s easy to pick out the punk influence in the Hives‘ music, but guitarist Nicholaus Arson says there’s definitely some classic rock flowing through their veins as well.
For a band that began their career by putting out 12 albums in the first 15 years of their career, AC/DC have become almost invisible as a studio entity in the ensuing 22 years. Despite still having massive global appeal, they’ve only released three albums since 1990′s ‘The Razor’s Edge,’ and nothing since 2008′s ‘Black Ice.’
Mark Evans was only 19 when he joined AC/DC and just 21 when he was fired. But his impact lives on in the band’s music over three decades later, and he’s enjoying life more than ever now.
