AC/DC moved to Britain from Sydney in 1975, and soon set up a residency at London's Marquee Club. Singer Bon Scott was the original bike-riding, speed-snorting, fighting man. He lived life fast and short and died in February 1980, just before 'Back in Black' their huge-selling album, took off. 'Back in Black' has gone on to sell 45 million copies worldwide, and as the band have become a global phenomenon so their recluisveness has increased.
Mick Wall, the don of heavy metal writing, seeks to penetrate the wall around the Young brothers, and write the first authoritative account of AC/DC.
