Ranking on 96th position in Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time, Angus Young, is a guitarist and songwriter who lead the Australian AC/DC hard rock band, he is well known for his hard-edge style lead (signature vibrato) and wild stage energy.

Their first line up was - Angus Young on lead guitar, Dave Evans singing, Malcolm Young on rhythm guitar, Larry Van Kriedt on bass guitar and Colin Burgess on drums.
Angus and Malcolm Young named the band AC/DC. They claim that they found out this name after sighting a acronym AC/DC in the back side of their sister Margarets sewing machine. They felt that this could emphasis on their energy and power of performance. This suited them well and hence the name stayed on to the band and became history.
However, some religious figures suggest that the name might stand for Anti-Christ /Devil's Child. In some cultures, AC/DC refers to bisexuality. However, AC/DC denies this all.
