Summary

‘How did such big balls get in such short pants?’ - Aerosmith’s Steve Tyler on Angus, at the induction of AC/DC into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Angus Young, the co-founder and last remaining original member of AC/DC, has for more than 40 years been the face, sound and sometimes the exposed backside of the trailblazing rock band. In his trademark schoolboy outfit, Angus rose from the obscurity of working-class Glasgow and Sydney to become hard rock’s greatest guitarist. High Voltage is the first biography to focus exclusively on Angus, and reveals in stunning detail how his signature guitar sound, his unique flair for performance and his unstoppable drive to succeed have kept AC/DC on the rails and at the top of the rock pile.

overall. very entertaining

Went on a bit too long with quotes from the LTBR movie. We all saw it. Apart from that and a few small inaccuracies, it was a fun listen.

Not a bad insight into the man himself.

Great story.. Not much you won't have heard before if you're a fan of the band.. The narrator should have left his attempt at the Scottish accent on the cutting room floor though..

Nothing new here and just seems to be put together from loads of news reports. Disappointing.

Less About Angus, More About the Band

This is more of a bio of AC/DC from an Angus point of view, rather than a biography of Angus. It certainly isn't authorised and much of the information is from 3rd parties.
I can only imagine what a proper biography of Angus (or indeed the band) would be, but for now, approach this one with caution.
