The Story of AC/DC: Let There Be RockFrom the publishers of AC/DC's music comes the definitive BIOGRAPHY of this classic rock band, now enjoying renewed attention after 30+ years from the next generation of hard rock fans. Let There Be Rock traces the band's roots, from their Australian beginnings, through the early years and the untimely death of singer Bon Scott, through their most popular album Back in Black, and finally to the present day where their album and tour sales continue to astound the mainstream music press.Wisconsin author/journalist Susan Masino has been an AC/DC fan since the early days, and her early press raves helped increase the band's profile, as well as guaranteeing her access to backstage life and personal details on the band members. Decades of research went into this book, including interviews with former band members, stage crew staff, record executives, tour managers, roadies, and fellow musicians such as Robin Zander of Cheap Trick and Keith Emerson of ELP. ©2006
