AC/DC was interviewed in London, England in the year 1976. The interviewer begins by asking band members Bon Scott and Angus Young if they can answer some questions for him. They are asked several questions but there os one question that realy stands out, which is the one where the interviewer asks AC/DC about the British audience. There were major influences in music like the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones, and how these band all broke up. Yet, Bon Scott answers that they're better. He goes on to say that he gives the audience what they desire, the "show, and the dream." The band would seem to have a unique sense of togetherness since most of the bands songs were made in hotel rooms when they are traveling from one place to another. This band had what most bands lacked back in the early ages of rock music, they had their uniqueness, they were always together like a family, and most of all they knew how to work with each other. But the question for this week, what would have been the fate of the band if they had been like other bands in the early years of rock? Would they have ended up together as one of the best rock bands of all ages?

  1. It's a difficult question to answer, but I doubt much would be different as long as five people could coexist in a room and make songs. Even though they have had many different members, the core of the band is there. I believe that because this is the case, combined with the firings and Bon's death, they would have remained an iconic band anyways.
