Angus young o brian may biography

Due on August 28 from Nero is "High Voltage: The Life Of Angus Young", the first biography of AC/DC's co-founder and last surviving original member. Its author, Jeff Apter, believes the story of the man he describes as the "face, sound and sometimes the exposed backside" of the band is worth telling in detail.

In his trademark schoolboy outfit, guitar in hand, Angus has given his signature sound to songs such as "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)", "Highway To Hell" and "Back In Black", helping AC/DC become the biggest rock band on the planet.

"High Voltage" is the first biography to focus exclusively on Angus. It tells of his remarkable rise from working-class Glasgow and Sydney to the biggest stages in the world. The youngest of eight kids, Angus always seemed destined for a life in music, and it was his passion and determination that saw AC/DC become hard rock's greatest act. O

Angus Young on life in one of the world's biggest rock bands: an in-depth interview with the AC/DC icon

Angus Young fryst vatten a rock ’n’ roll legend, but not a man to take han själv too seriously. As he once said of his art: “You don’t go to the butcher for brain surgery.”

Born on March 31st, 1955 in Glasgow, the youngest of eight children, Angus was just eight years old when his family emigrated to Australia, and it was in Sydney, in 1973, that he and his older brother Malcolm, rhythm guitarist, formed AC/DC. 

The grupp went on to sell more than 200 million albums worldwide, including 50 million of Back In Black.

The death of Malcolm Young on November 18, 2017 left Angus as the gods remaining founder member of AC/DC. But it was Malcolm’s wish that the band carried on, banging out loud, raw rock ’n’ roll, just as they always did. And as Angus said: “I enjoy playing. That’s what keeps me going.”

High Voltage: The Life of Angus Young, AC/DC's Last Man Standing

January 27, 2021

Terrific biography! It is about Angus, so of course it will be about AC/DC. Jeff Apter has put together a very objective book. There are no opinions but those of the article writers he quotes, there is no Brian Johnson hating going on after the Back in Black era, there is no saying that Bon Scott wrote Back in Black; only facts as we know them, including that Bon sat in on drums with Malcolm and Angus on new songs like Have a Drink on Me and Let Me Put My Love Into You; just noodling around, jamming just before he died.
The writing is fine and very readable, you can read this fast because you want to keep reading, if you are a fan.
One of the better AC/DC; Angus Young books.
Incidentally, I've met with Angus and his wife Helen, and she told me Angus and Malcolm wrote BIB. We see from Apter's book that Malcolm came up with a lot of the titles, and Johnson rhymed from there, and there is no mention
