Akka Dakka.  If you’re from Australia, then you already know what this means (and are probably shocked that more people don’t know what this means).  If you’re NOT from Australia, then you know them by their non-Aussie moniker:  AC/DC (and now, through the magic of reading, you know the meaning of BOLTH!).

On this episode, we’re discussing Side 1 of AC/DC:  The Bon Scott side.  The beginnings of a band that would forever change the landscape of Rock and Metal with high-energy, killer riffs, face melting guitar solos and Angus Young’s nearly perpetual headbanging (which is enough proof to confirm that AC/DC is, without a doubt, METAL!!).

Prepare your favorite relaxer, “Power Up” (Sorry, I couldn’t help meself) and JOIN US as we talk about the band from “Down Under” that brought a new kind of swagger, sleaze, and BALLS (Big ones too!) to the pantheon of Heavy Metal.
