High Voltage: The Life of Angus Young – AC/DC's Last Man Standing

I've been watching AC/DC on on Tube. Interesting to know Angus's story .

Exactly as described

A good telling of the story of Angus Young, giving all the facts without necessarily getting too far beneath the surface. Still, enjoyable read.

Great book !!!

Super!

Despite the premise that this is a book about Angus, it's mostly an AC/DC book. There is a tad bit more focus on Angus in some parts, mostly the beginning and the end. Since it covers many decades, many significant parts of the band's history are only touched on briefly. For fans of the band, most of this book will be review and pretty much everything seems to have been obtained from a combination of other books, previously released interviews, news items, youtube, etc. There were a few tidbits that were new to me and overall this is a well written book and a very enjoyable read.

Didn't know much about angus or his brother until I read this book. not the crazy out of control addicts I expected. loved it and highly recommend it to anyone interested in a Rock N Roll story

Excellent condition. No problems. Great seller. Thanks

excellent, Read

I've always been fond of AC/DC and remember all the way back to when Bonn Scott died. This book informed me of things that I did not already know and gave me an insight into what it's like to be in a top rock band. The book was clearly published before Malcolm died (I'm glad to say) but does go right up until he is in a home.To me this book is well researched and the prose is good. No scandal-mongering here.I recommmend this book for people like me, casual fans who like to listen to AC/DC albums and/or watch them in concert.

Evidemment, les décès à termes rapprochés de George et Malcolm Young ne pouvaient qu'encourager les biographes de tout poil à se jeter sur le survivant Angus (qui n'a lui même pas l'air trop frais et serait assez malade selon la rumeur... donc, il faut se dépêcher !). Mais là franchement... grand fan du groupe, j'espérais quelques (vagues) révélations... peine perdue, ce bouquin n'est qu'une laborieuse compilation d'éléments pompés dans la littérature alluvionnaire consacrée au groupe, et en plus c'est carrément bâclé voire inexact. Un exemple (parmi mille) : le groupe vire son manager Michael Browning juste après l'enregistrement d'"Highway to Hell" et vient solliciter Leber/Krebs/Mensch pour le remplacer : faux, doublement faux : 1) les frères Young ont à l'époque consulté plusieurs agences de management pour remplacer Browning et n'ont accepté de s'engager auprès de Leber/Krebs qu'à l'expresse condition que la tournée US de l'été 1979 leur rapporte au moins un million de dollars (et ils n'ont rien signé avant la rentrée 1979, histoire de garder les mains libres au cas où...) 2) Mensch n'était absolument pas associé mais simple expert comptable pour Leber/Krebs ; toutefois, il draguait le groupe depuis des mois (Browning le soupçonne d'ailleurs d'être responsable de son éviction) et les frères Young insistèrent pour qu'il s'occupe personnellement d'eux. Bref, des approximations à la pelle et un bouquin à éviter...

Really enjoyable history of the band and the surprising truth about the mostly teetotalling Angus. Music and musicians from my generation.

I just finished Lives of Brian - which was amazing. This book on Angus is okay...but not as well edited, and personal as the Brian Johnson memoir. The author really goes to town with Australian slang; I had to look up a lot of words. It is like he had a bet going to see how many times he could use the word "Punter(s)".Glad to have read, but it is less than perfect.
