Discover the story of the song > Let’s Get It Up – AC DC

Malcolm and Angus Young, two brothers from Scotland, formed the band AC/DC in 1973 in Sydney. Their music is considered hard rock, blues rock and heavy metal. Over the years, the line-up of the band evolved, but eventually stabilized around the Young brothers, Bon Scott, Phil Rudd and Mark Evans. However, in 1980, the unforgettable Bon Scott died and was replaced by Brian Johnson. AC/DC then released many successful albums. Unfortunately, Malcolm Young was forced to retire due to dementia in 2014. Chris Slade and Axl Rose then replaced Rudd and Johnson respectively. AC/DC has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, including the album Back in Black, which has sold about 50 million copies. In 2003, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and VH1 ranked them 23rd on its "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list.
