AC/DC graced the first cover of the British rock magazine back in 1981.
Kerrang! editor Paul Brannigan called AC/DC "one of the most important and influential rock bands in history."
Two classic AC/DC albums reached new sales heights this past May, according to the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). The band's 1979 album, "Highway to Hell" — the last studio release to feature late frontman Bon Scott — has been certified septuple platinum for sales in excess of seven million copies in the United States. Meanwhile, 1990's "The Razor's Edge" has passed the five-million mark in the U.S., earning it quintuple-platinum status.
AC/DC's "Back in Black" album was certified last year for U.S. shipments of 21 million copies, tying it for fifth place with BILLY JOEL's "Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & II" on the Recording Industry Assn. of America's all-time best-sellers list.
AC/DC is expected to begin recording its next studio album in the U.K. during the coming months. The group's last album, "Stiff Upper Lip" (2000),was recorded at the Warehouse studio (owned by Bryan Adams) in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
