They felt that it symbolized the raw power that their music was all about.

Formed during the time of glam bands, many of the band members dressed in some sort of glam, or satin outfits. Angus tried many different costumes such as Spider-man, Zorro, and others. By 1975 he adopted his characteristic school boy uniform. It was reportedly based from his secondary school, Ashfield Boys High School in Sydney and suggested by his sister Margaret.

On February 19, 1980, Bon Scott passed out in a car after a night of heavy drinking in London. The following morning, after being rush to the hospital, he was pronounced dead. Acute alcohol poisoning was listed as the cause of death.

After briefly considering folding, the band concluded that Scott would have wanted them to continue. After a time, they found replacement Brian Johnson; an ex-Geordie singer. It just so happened, that Scott was familiar with Johnson's singing and thought he was great.
