Trivia

stars Three teenagers were crushed to death at their concert in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 18, 1991, when the crowd rushed to the front to get the best seats. The band did not know of the deaths, and played on to avoid further problems. They were devastated when they found out some fans were killed.
edit
stars They sometimes had trouble getting into their own shows because they looked just as scruffy as their fans.
edit
stars AC/DC's lyrics usually deal with some combination of drinking, sex and Rock. They never play ballads and steer clear of any political songs.
