AC/DC's tragic real-life story
The deadly concert
In 1991, an AC/DC concert in Salt Lake City ended in tragedy with the deaths of three teenage fans: 19-year-old Elizabeth Glausi, along with Jimmie Boyd Jr. and Curtis White Child, both 14 years old, died when they were crushed by fans surging forward.
There were about 13,000 people at the show, and according to People, 4,400 of them were crammed into festival-style seating. That basically means no seating at all, a setup that had caused 11 deaths at a Who concert in 1979. Witnesses testified about an insanely horrible scene, where crowds of fans pushed forward, knocked people over, and buried others under a pile of bodies. Just what happened in the chaos differs based on the source, but it's not disputed that the pushing and shoving started right when the concert did. While security says it took about 45 minutes before someone was able to make it onstage to tell the band what was going on, AC/DC maintains they only played four songs before Brian Johnson called for a spotlight on the crowd and an end to the chaos.
Ten years later, AC/DC returned to play another show at Salt Lake City. Johnson spoke to Deseret News about the lasting effect it had on them all, saying, "No matter how long ago it happened, you still think about it. You hope and pray it never happens again. … That was an awful incident, and it hit us very hard."

Malcolm Young's battle with dementia

Malcolm Young died on November 18, 2017. When AC/DC announced his passing on Facebook, Angus wrote, "As his brother it is hard to express in words what he has meant to me during my life, the bond we had was unique and very special. … Malcolm, job well done."
His death came after a long and heartbreaking battle with dementia, one that was announced in 2014. According to Rolling Stone, they were originally vague about his health issues, only saying he was going to be taking a break and his nephew, Stevie Young, would fill in for him again. It wasn't until later that Angus publicly announced Malcolm had also undergone major operations on his heart and lungs, saying (via Ultimate Classic Rock), "He seemed to get everything hit him at once, besides his dementia. So he had quite a lot of things going on."
When Angus talked to The Guardian in 2014, he said Malcolm's dementia had started during their Black Ice tour. He'd needed to relearn the songs he had written before getting on stage. "Sometimes you would look and he'd be there, and you'd be, 'Malcolm!' … And other times, his mind was going. But he still held it together," he said.
The Origins of Heavy Metal
The Origins of Heavy Metal
Someone unfamiliar with the heavy metal genre would be forgiven for feeling a little bit confused upon first listen. How is heavy metal different from traditional rock music? What is death metal? What's with all the talk about the devil and fighting dragons? These are all fair questions that will be clarified in this lesson.
Heavy metal first emerged in England and the United States in the early 1970s as a natural outgrowth of the rock music of the time. While hard rock artists like Led Zeppelin, the Who, and Jimi Hendrix were pushing the envelope in terms of guitar amplification and on-stage antics, their music was still very much indebted to the blues and earlier forms of rock music.
Black Sabbath is widely considered to be the first true heavy metal band. Through the use of darker musical tones, religious lyrical themes, and a slow, crushing heaviness to their sound, Black Sabbath created the template for an entirely new genre of rock music. While many other genres of popular music attempt to talk about real-life experiences, love, or politics, heavy metal is famous for dealing with religious and supernatural metaphors. Black Sabbath's singer Ozzy Osbourne wrote lyrics about occult ceremonies and unspeakable monsters, but he was using these images as metaphors to talk about war and alienation.
Heavy Metal Subculture
By the late 1970s, a new generation of bands would take inspiration from Black Sabbath's menacing sound, while speeding up the tempo and continuing to distance themselves from the blues roots of rock. Judas Priest and Motörhead from England as well as Scorpions from Germany added speed and intensity to Black Sabbath's sound. Music journalists started using the term heavy metal to describe the new approach.

In the large industrial cities of England, heavy metal developed very much in tandem with the punk movement, which was creating moral outrage throughout the United Kingdom. It borrowed the speed and nihilism of punk, leather and denim from outlaw biker culture, and a fascination with occultism drawn from horror films and Black Sabbath. With that, heavy metal came together in the late 1970s as not just a distinct musical genre, but as a fully formed subculture.
The 1980s: The Golden Age of Heavy Metal and the Rise of Extreme Metal
The 1980s saw an explosion in the popularity, musical development, and geographic spread of heavy metal. The early 1980s produced a movement within England called the New Wave of British Heavy Metal led by bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Diamond Head. The blues base that characterized virtually all earlier forms of rock music was now almost undetectable. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal was defined by high, wailing vocals, two harmonizing electric guitars, and themes concerning rebellion, Satanism, and the occult. The popularity of heavy metal spread in North America and Europe, filling stadiums and outraging conservative parents.
During the huge upsurge of heavy metal's popularity in the 1980s, the subculture that had formed around the music began to fragment into different scenes and subgenres. More accessible, pop-friendly bands like Def Leppard, Van Halen, and Twisted Sister wrote catchy, radio-friendly songs combined with flashy, often gender-bending costumes, creating a subgenre known as glam metal.
At the same time, many bands started taking heavy metal in increasing experimental, dark, and thematically provocative directions, partially in reaction to the radio-friendly metal bands that they saw as sellouts. Venom from England, Mercyful Fate from Denmark, and Hellhammer from Switzerland expressed overtly satanic lyrics and played music that was more extreme and intense than anything previously heard. In California, heavy metal musicians started playing even faster than their British peers, creating the subgenre thrash metal. Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth were at the forefront of this movement. Thrash, in combination with the extreme metal developing in Europe, would usher in a split within heavy metal subculture between the mainstream metal and extreme metal factions.

History of Rock!!!
Welcome to 1969…
A word much in use this year is “heavy”. It might apply to the weight of your take on the blues, as with Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin. It might mean the originality of Jethro Tull or King Crimson. It might equally apply to an individual – to Eric Clapton, for example the Beatles are the saints of the 1960s, and George Harrison an especially “heavy person”.
This year heavy people flock together. Clapton and Steve Winwood join up in Blind Faith. Steve Marriott and Pete Frampton meet in Humble Pie. Crosby, Stills and Nash admit a new member, Neil Young. Supergroups, or more informal supersessions, serve as musical summit meetings for those who are reluctant to have their work tied down by the now antiquated notion of the “group”.
Trouble of one kind or another this year awaits the leading examples of this classic formation. Our cover stars the Rolling Stones this year part company with founder member Brian Jones. The Beatles, too, are changing – how, John Lennon wonders, can the group hope to contain three contributing writers?

The Beatles diversification has become problematic. While 1968 began with their retreat with a spiritual advisor, the Maharishi, this year begins with their appointment of a heavyweight financial advisor, the American businessman Allen Klein. Their spiritual goals have been supplanted by the desire to resolve some intractable fiscal problems.
Making sense of it all, (even providing a sounding board for increasingly media-aware stars), were the writers of the New Musical Express and Melody Maker. This is the world of The History Of Rock, a monthly magazine which reaps the benefits of their extraordinary journalism for the reader decades later, one year at a time. In the pages of this fifth issue, dedicated to 1969, you will find verbatim articles from frontline staffers, compiled into long and illuminating reads. Missed one? You can find out how to rectify that on page 144.
What will still surprise the modern reader is the access to, and the sheer volume of material supplied by the artists who are now the giants of popular culture. Now, a combination of wealth, fear and lifestyle would conspire to keep reporters at a rather greater length from the lives of musicians.

At this stage though, representatives from New Musical Express and Melody Maker are where it matters. Mutilating plastic dolls with John Lennon. With a rail-thin David Bowie, hearing his views about skinheads. Preparing for the Hyde Park concert with Mick Jagger.
Join them there. As Mick says: “It’ll blow your mind”.
