AC/DC

AC/DC is one of the most popular and successful bands of all time. Almost all of their albums have been certified, especially Back in Black, which went double diamond. They had numerous hit singles. Video album Family Jewels went diamond. Despite their immense success they were inducted their third year of eligibility, a real shame. In 1980 frontman Bon Scott died and was replaced by Brian Johnson. In 2016 Johnson was replaced by Axl Rose of metal band Guns N Roses, much to the chagrin of fans. Rhythm guitarist Malcom Young retired in 2014 due to dementia and was replaced by his nephew Stevie (no relation to the football quarterback). When inducted both Johnson and Scott were included along with the rest of the "classic lineup". They were inducted by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Johnson returned in 2018 after taking some time off due to hearing problems. The band considers themselves to be simply "rock and roll", not metal or hard rock.
