What year was the first rock n' roll record produced?
There are many candidates for the title of the first rock and roll record. Numerous recordings mark the development of rock and roll as a separate musical form. Some songs are cited as having important lyrical content, others are seen as offering important melodic, harmonic or rhythmic influence. These songs include not only hits from the early 1950s when the music emerged on the national and international scene, but also various other precursors to what would become known as Rock and Roll. Wild cards from the 1920s and 1930s that seemed then to have come from nowhere but now clearly foreshadow rock and roll: "My Daddy Rocks Me (with One Good Steady Roll)" by Trixie Smith (1922). Although it was played with a backbeat and was one of the first "around the clock" lyrics, this slow minor-key blues was by no means rock and roll in the modern sense. On the other hand, the title certainly underscores the original meaning attached to those two words (both of four letters), rock and roll.
"Pine Top's Boogie Woogie" by Clarence "Pinetop" Smith (1928) was one of the first hit "boogie woogie" recordings, and the first to include classic rock and roll references to "the girl with the red dress on" being told to "not move a peg" until she could "shake that thing" and "mess around". "Tiger Rag" by the Washboard Rhythm Kings (1931) was a virtually out of control performance with screeching vocals, a strange tiger roar, and rocking washboard. This recording is standing in for many performances by spasm bands, jug bands, and skiffle groups that have the same wild, informal feel that early rock and roll had.

buddy you suck
yea , bon Scott ( the groups first singer ) died of crack overdose in the 80's but probally not any more
Saw the above answer and had to improve upon it. Bon Scott died after a drinking binge and fell asleep in the back of a friends car. During his sleep he vomited and being in a position where he could not move his head proceeded to chock on his own vomit.
Many of the bands partying activities subsided after Bon's demise.
Angus Young is a known Tea-totaler.
Was ACDC influenced by the blues?
Angus Young's energetic guitar style has been an influence on many young hard rock guitarists. His work with AC/DC has been an influence on bands ranging from Guns N' Roses, Slayer, The Cult, Jackyl, Metallica, and Def Leppard to newer artists like Disturbed, Jet, Alter Bridge, Buckcherry, Airbourne, The Darkness, Rob Tognoni, Wolfmother, and You Am I.[citation needed] Young cites his own influences as Chuck Berry, Pete Townshend, Muddy Waters, Leslie West, Keith Richards, B.B. King, George Harrison, Buddy Guy, and other blues/rock and roll players. AC/DC's music was based mostly on rhythm & blues and early-1970s hard rock.

How many Grammy Awards did ACDC win?
AC/DC has never won a Grammy or even an MTV Music Award. And in 35 years they have been on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine only twice. They have a humongous fan base, sold 250,000,000 records world wide, have the second best-selling album EVER, but they seem to be completely ignored by the musical press. I personally think that in lists, AC/DC should be where Nirvana is, since Nirvana didn't deserve s**t and are THE most overrated band ever. I just cannot believe that Angus Young is 97th on Guitar World's List of 100 Greatest Guitarists while Kurt f*cking Cobain is number 11.
Sorry to ramble, just thought that I'd get it out there.
AC/DC started recording between 1973-74 in Austrailia, on the ALBERT label. If you see any AC/DC lp that is an Austrailian import, it is the original version of that particular lp. Examples: T.N.T. ( 1975 debut, issued only in Auatrailia), High Voltage(1975), Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap(1976) , Let There Be Rock(1977), Powerage(1978), highway To Hell(1979).

Is ACDC in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
March 10, 2003. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith was the presenter of the award, and he performed "You shook me all Night Long" with the band as part of the ceremony.
Where is ACDC the band originally from?
Angus and Malcolm were born in Glasgow edinburugh but then moved to Australia at a pretty young age. they formed a ban over there. which did not origanally have bonn Scott in it; on there first gig/audition the lead singer chickened out so bonn Scott (THERE CAB DRIVER!) said he would sing for them!
Is acdc rock band compatible with the Guitar Hero guitar?
The AC/DC Rock Band track pack is not compatible with the drums from Guitar Hero: World tour. Rock Band 2 was the first Rock Band game to support the GH:WT drums.
Other peripherals from GH:WT, such as the guitar, will function with the game.
!?!?! My drums worked on it!!!!! So, yeh, they DO work.
What is the song by acdc tnt about?
The song is not about actual T.N.T. It's used to describe the singers personality and feelings.
Did acdc write their own songs?
Bon Scott (original singer) wrote their original stuff. Then he died and i don't know who writes their songs now. I would assume it is one of the band members.
The real spark in AC/DC's popularity was with the release of the 1980 album, Back in Black. They were becoming increasingly well known before that, but back in black really boosted they're popularity.
How many number one hits has acdc had?
Two. Even though AC/DC has sold over 200 million copies of combination albums and cd's worldwide and Back in Black has sold over 64 million copies by itself and is one of the top selling albums of all time, they have had only two #1 hits in the United States and they are not any of their most well known older tunes. "Big Gun" recorded for the movie The Last Hero reached #1 on the American charts in 1991 and was their first #1 hit in America. "Stiff Upper Lip" was #1 on the American Charts when released in 2000 for over four weeks. Several of the hits off of "Back in Black" in 1980, You Shook Me All Night Long, Back in Black, and Hell's Bells, were in the top 20 but never reached #1 on the charts in the United States, which I find to be an odd rock'n'roll fact. It remains to be seen if "Rock'n'Roll Train" becomes AC/DC's third #1 hit on the America Charts.
