AC/DC have been swaggering their way through the rock 'n' roll scene for more than 30 years. Starting with their roots in the Australian pub circuit, this book takes a thorough look at where the band came from, where they've been, and where they're going. Bon Scott and the Young brothers' earlier bands are discussed, as well as the trio's first collaboration, supplemented by rare photographs and interviews with more than 50 of the band's friends and colleagues. Previously unpublished details on Bon Scott's untimely death in 1980 and the strange circumstances around it are revealed, along with information on AC/DC's upcoming album, their first in five years.

By Linda (Truro, Cornwall) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AC/DC: Two Sides to Every Glory: The Complete Biography (Paperback)
This book is ace!! It gives a detailed account of their career, covering the death of Bon Scott in great depth, offering opinions, and uncovering further revelations surrounding his mysterious death!! This sets it apart from other books about the band. It had some great photos in the middle - including rare memorabilia! It is a well-recommended read.

Nothing new.,
By Rock Fan (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AC/DC: Two Sides to Every Glory: The Complete Biography (Paperback)
What can you say about a book that doesn't even manage to get Bon Scott's date of birth right? Seemingly cobbled together from fansites, old interviews and bits lifted from Clinton Walker's far superior tome on Bon Scott, this offered no fresh insight into the band or their history. The narrative was confusing and choppy and looked like a patchwork of third hand information. A long, rambling and inconclusive chapter about Bon's death did nothing to raise the stakes. The definative AC/DC book is out there somewhere, but this ain't it.

AC/DC will always rock,
By roach (philly) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AC/DC: Two Sides to Every Glory: The Complete Biography (Paperback)
AC/DC will always rock and this book explains why. They got the story right. The detail as to the early stages of the band is what I enjoyed above all else. The historic turning over of the reigns from Dave Evans to Bon Scott. I doubt there's ever been a single more important move in rock history as far as frontment go. Bon went from driving the band to gigs to literally driving the band to superstardom. It's tragic he passed at such a young age (33) and on the brink of worldwide domination. Brian took over and has done a fine job keeping the AC/DC juggernaut going strong but there will never be another one like Bon. All versions of the band are well covered and you have a discography plus more. If you're a fan of AC/DC you can't be without this book.
