Did you know

Edit
  • Trivia
    The band got its name when a member saw "AC/DC" on a sewing machine and thought it looked cool. They didn't know it stood for "Alternating Current/Direct Current". They also didn't know it was slang for bisexual, which caused some misunderstandings early in their career.
