Shows the initial preparation for legendary rockers never did, and former bassist Mark Evans was with the group from 1975 to 1977 - admits that he never changed his attitude as his success grew.

He said: "There were no rehearsals! My very first gig with them was totally spontaneous. This was after the audition. I went to see them at a local pub, saw them play one set, and then I went on stage with them and played the second set.

"For our first tour of England, they band rented a rehearsal space, but I think we mainly played some Elvis Presley songs.

"Real rehearsals - you know, running through the tunes and making sure everything was right - that stuff didn't happen."

Mark also revealed that they were written as a studio session recorded songs were the same as most.

He explained to website MusicRadar: "Songs would be written in the studio. No demos. Angus [Young] and Malcolm [Young] would play things for George Young, and the tunes would be assembled right there. Once we had the skeleton of a song, we'd record it.

"Angus was full-on in the studio. When it was time for him to record his solos, he'd jump around and bounce off the walls, just like he would on stage. It was impossible for him to play and sit still. For rhythm tracks, he was somewhat subdued, but for solos, he went wild."

AC/DC singer Brian Johnson is passionate about cars

AC/DC singer Brian Johnson is passionate about cars as he is about rock music and to prove it, he competed at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion this weekend, driving a 1965 Lola T-70 amid 550 other historic vehicles that competed in 17 groups.

Johnson was the first time to participate in this contest and he vowed that it would not be his last.

Johnson, 63, told Speed TV, “This is my first time here at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and my first time at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. But I’m going to come here for the rest of my life, and that’s a promise.”

Johnson racing inevitably compared to this song, since the two subjects, two things he knows very little about, saying, “You don’t give everything away at the first corner, just as you never give away everything at the start of a show. You have to keep it steady and then you build and build, and you get faster and smoother while building to a crescendo and leaving the crowd wanting more.”

He continued, “In both, you have a team of guys who make it all possible. In actuality, the car belongs to the crew; as a driver you are just borrowing it for a while. The main thing is to always stay calm; it is always a challenge when I get into a race car. Having driven this Lola, I really appreciate the guys who raced these cars in the 1960s. It’s no wonder they called them widow makers.”

In proceedings before the weekend, Johnson showed his skills, while 42 cases have come out with an impressive seventh, traversing a thrilling track with hairpin turns and a road curve called “The Corkscrew” in order to determine his grid position.

The singer has been an avid racer for 14 years, albeit in on-off fashion. That’s due to the fact that he has a pretty killer day job as, you know, in the history of the most successful and respected singer of rock band. It’s a trade-off, but he is able to indulge both passions

Johnson said, “Unfortunately, because of my day job where I am traveling for a couple of years at a time, I have to keep coming back and re-learning the driving technique. It is such a privilege to be sitting in a car that really good drivers once drove. Keeping the car on the track and coming anywhere close to what the original drivers have done is an achievement.”

Johnson to the next pit stop? January 2012 Rolex 24 at Daytona race in the event of their lifetime dream to be dissatisfied.

AC/DC famed 1979 concert film Let There Be Rock

When the fan AC/DC band's famous 1979 concert captured on film again recently, "Let There Be Rock", DVD liner notes by the possibilities, they are doing and look up some incredible stories.

The same
guy who recently book Why AC / DC Matters, plus slash and signed autobiographies of Tommy Lee.

Bozza glow when she came to write liner notes, says he wants "been wanting to say that stuff for a long time.”

He told Ultimate Classic Rock, “I used to be the kid at Rolling Stone who would always say, ‘Why aren’t you putting AC/DC in the “Greatest Guitar Players of All-Time” issue?’ and all that stuff”.

“They would say, ‘Would you just shut up with the AC/DC,’ but I wouldn’t,” he added. “…So, [with the liner notes and the book] I finally was completely given the chance to make the argument I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time.”

Bozza's eyes, music critics AC / DC really have not any respect yet.

He added, “It just changed recently. One of the things that I wrote about in the book, on the eve of the Black Ice tour, they were suddenly getting all of that stuff. Before, they were always begrudgingly accepted.”

He said critics, was thinking AC / DC Rock was "doing their sort of tongue in cheek" rock ’n’ roll and the musicality of the band ignored the naysayers.

He said, “There was a lack of taking them seriously as musicians. It was like grudgingly saying NASCAR was important, like, ‘Look at all these people with bad taste in the world.’”
