Truth about iconic 70s rock band AC/DC’s name revealed

If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering what the meaning behind AC/DC is, look no further AC/DC might be one of your most listened-to bands, but do you know what their name stands for? If you answered no, never fear – we’ve just found out as well. The popular Australian rock band was formed in 1973 and is known for iconic hits like Highway to Hell and Thunderstruck. However, while their tunes are instantly recognisable, the full-length version of their name is not.

The band first shot to fame in 1975 following the release of their first studio album, High Voltage. By 1979, AC/DC was experiencing global success with the release of Highway to Hell when disaster struck. Their lead singer, Bon Scott, died of alcohol poisoning. Despite almost disbanding, at Scott’s parents’ request, the band continued on and recruited Brian Johnson.
