AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll: The Ultimate Story of the World’s Greatest Rock-and-Roll Band – A Complete Biography with Rare Intimate Photos and Behind-the-Scenes Access Review: ROCK WHILE YOU'RE READING! - I discovered AC/DC back in college (circa 1988). Since then I've gotten all their albums and done a fair bit of reading on the group. Maximum Rock N'Roll (to this point) is the most in-depth look at the group that I've come across. The book checks in at 460+ pages with numerous black & white and color photos to liven up sections. There's some excellent pictures of old backstage passes, concert flyers, etc... to remind you of just how long the members of AC/DC have been rocking and rolling. The authors deliver a solid rundown of the band's history and albums are covered in each chapter taking us from High Voltage all the way to Stuff Upper Lip. In reading other reviews I do notice many people wonder why the band's personal lives have been glossed over at points to focus more on the music. My first understanding upon reading is that not every band has as many demons as say Motley Crue or Guns N Roses so perhaps the home lives of lazy Brian or tea-totaling Angus aren't all that exciting compared to the concerts and albums. This is evident in that 65% of the book chronicles the band's early years and the colorful life of Bon Scott (clearly more of a character 24/7 than Brian Johnson) than their post 1980 years. All I know is while reading the book I had the desire to listen to my iPod's in-depth collection of DC songs...LOUD. This book is an informative read and will make you WANT to listen and appreciate the solid rock and roll from the Thunder from Down Under for quite some time! Review: Maximum Rock & Roll = Maximum Information! - If you even slightly enjoy AC/DC (my wife and I are fanatics about them) you'll learn more about this powerhouse band than you ever thought imaginable. This book gives insight into the band like no other. From the very early days to the recent years, every significant event (and many, many insignificant) is explained in great detail. I learned more in the first few chapters about the brothers Young than I thought possible. The included photos are plentiful, especially those of Bon. The tour details show exactly how much of a no-nonsense, don't mess with us group that these guys are. They just want to play good rock and roll and do so in the loudest manner possible. The effort put into this book goes beyond those of a couple of fans, these guys eat, breathe and live AC/DC. This was an easy read that I just couldn't put down, I finished it in 2 days and my wife finished it in 3. Every waking minute I had to be reading it. I actually felt as though I was living an accelerated life as a member of the band from the beginning. The review may sound cheesy, but I'm telling you, this is a great book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #542,266 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #176 in Heavy Metal Music (Books) #1,150 in Rock Band Biographies #1,422 in Rock Music (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (228) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.31 x 9 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0061133922 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0061133923 | | Item Weight | 1.35 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 528 pages | | Publication date | February 5, 2008 | | Publisher | Dey Street Books | ## Images ![AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll: The Ultimate Story of the World’s Greatest Rock-and-Roll Band – A Complete Biography with Rare Intimate Photos and Behind-the-Scenes Access - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815yH4mEy6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ROCK WHILE YOU'RE READING! *by M***T on May 18, 2008* I discovered AC/DC back in college (circa 1988).
