With more than 200 million records sold worldwide, they are among the best-selling music artists in history.

Saw AC/DC open up for Foreigner on August 10, 1977 at memorial hall in kansas city kansas. UFO played in the middle. AC/DC put on the greatest concert I have ever seen ! Could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the idea !
