Description
Australian journalist Jesse Fink (43) embarks on a challenging task – to write an unconventional biography of the famous hard rock band that fundamentally does not communicate with its biographers. The author focuses on the trio of Young brothers, who are central figures in the story of AC/DC. These are the founding members of the band, Malcolm and Angus, complemented by their older brother George, who acts as the gray eminence behind the scenes. Fink does not hide the fact that he is an enthusiastic fan of the band, but he is also able to maintain a critical distance. Instead of the usual biographical data that are easily accessible, the author is more interested in the hidden parts of the AC/DC story, which he maps through interviews with former band members and also with people who played key roles in the band's history but often did not receive the recognition they deserved. Many of these individuals are given the opportunity to share their testimony for the very first time. Based on his personal experience, where AC/DC's music helped him overcome a life crisis, Fink also questions what the secret is behind this band's enormous success, which has sold over 200 million records. What makes this band so special and captivating that it can win the hearts of millions of fans all over...
