“It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
If you think it’s easy doin’ one-night stands
Try playin’ in a rock-roll band
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n’ roll”

AC/DC Can’t Stop To Power It All Up – North And South America Tour 2026
AC/DC Released Their 12th Album ‘THE RAZORS EDGE’ Today 25 Years Ago
24 September 2025
Australian‘s riff devils AC/DC released their 12th LP, titled
THE RAZORS EDGE today 25 years ago, on 24 September 1990.
A million-seller that went to #2 in the US (going 6 times platinum
over the years), #4 in the UK, #3 in Australia and #1 in Canada.
AllMusic said: “Although AC/DC’s popularity had decreased by the early ’90s,
the band still had a lot of life left in it. Arguably the Australian headbangers’ strongest album in over half a decade, The Razors Edge is quintessential AC/DC – rowdy, abrasive, unapologetically fun metal full of blistering power chords, memorable hooks, and testosterone-driven lyrics.”
Schoolboy Angus Young about the smashing single Thunderstruck (almost 2 billion streams on Spotify): “It started off from a little trick I had on guitar. I played it to Mal and he said “Oh, I’ve got a good rhythm idea that will sit well in the back.” We built the song up from that. We fiddled about with it for a few months before everything fell into place. Lyrically, it was really just a case of finding a good title. We came up with this thunder thing and it seemed to have a good ring to it. AC/DC = Power. That’s the basic idea.”

AC/DC – Australian Hells Bells Icons Released Historic Album ‘BACK IN BLACK’ 45 Years Ago Today
Significant longplayers from yesteryear
25 July 2025
Australian hard rock champions AC/DC released their 7th LP,
named BACK IN BLACK on 25 July 1980, today 45 years ago
today.
It was the first album with vocalist Brian Johnson following the tragic death
of mad frontman Bon Scott in January 1980. After Scott‘s funeral on 1 March,
the band immediately began auditions for a replacement frontman
According to co-founder and guitarist Angus Young, the album’s all-black cover
was a “sign of mourning” for Scott. Atlantic Records (idiots) disliked the cover, but
accepted it, on the condition that the band put a grey outline around the AC/DC
logo.
By 2024, the blockbuster album has sold over 50 million
copies worldwide (27 million in the US). Historic numbers.
Pitchfork said: “The album didn’t signify any sort of change or cultural marker.
It instead proved the power of stasis, of doing something well, then doing it again
but louder and with more money. In a sense, the success of Back in Black helped
predict the current reboot moment: Give the people what they want, but more.
As ever, AC/DC were their own best messengers for this simple idea, laid bare in
the final moments of their most famous work: “Rock’n’roll ain’t no riddle, man.”
Young: “We’re a rock group. we’re noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.”
