Highway to Hell: The Life and Death of AC/DC Legend Bon Scott

Highway to Hell: The Life and Death of AC/DC Legend Bon Scott by Walker, Clinton. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781891241239.

The definitive account of AC/DCs rise to fame, when the ribald lyrics and charismatic stage presence of singer Bon Scott, along with the guitar work of Angus and Malcolm Young, defined a new, highly influential brand of rock and roll. Drawing on many interviews and featuring a gallery of rare photos, Clinton Walker traces the bands career through the life of their original front man, from small-time gigs to international success, up to Scotts shocking death in 1980. AC/DCs undiminished superstar status (theyre the fourth-bestselling band of all time), and their indelible influence on a succession of genres from metal to grunge to rap, ensure that Bon Scotts presence continues to be felt strongly. HIGHWAY TO HELL offers the full story of this seminal rock figure. A consistent seller since it was first published here in 2001, HIGHWAY TO HELL has been updated for this edition. New details that have come to light in recent years about the last hours of Scotts life have been added, enabling the author to dispel persistent rumors and myths and once more set the record straight.
