Band Name Origins:
- Angus Young (lead guitar) pretty much always wears a school uniform which his mother sews. The name AC/DC was on the bottom of the sewing machine, and most other electrical appliances. Submitted by: ED
- For the most part, AC/DC was named from the ID plate on the back of a Singer sewing machine (meaning that it could be used with Alternating Current from a wall outlet or 12 volts Direct Current from a source such as a car battery) owned by the Young family. Angus took to wearing the (exaggerated) schoolboy outfit as he was only 16 and still at school at the inception of the band. His oldest brother George Young (of The Easybeats - "Friday On My Mind") suggested it as a gimmick to sell the band. George subsequently went on to write most of the band's material. Submitted by: Aussie in Iowa
Why the Name is Stupid:
- AC= alternating current DC= direct current So basically, CORD/BATTERY Submitted by: Katrina
- I guess they swing both ways Submitted by: Tom
