Angus Young, cofundador do AC/DC, tem sido há mais de quarenta anos o rosto, o som e, às vezes, o traseiro exposto da pioneira banda de rock.

Com uma guitarra na mão e uniforme escolar, sua marca registrada, Angus deixou seu nome marcado na história da música. Através de seus solos poderosos, canções como "A Long Way to the Top", "Highway to Hell" e "Back to Black", se tornaram clássicos do rock e transformaram o AC/DC em uma das maiores bandas do planeta. Em High Voltage, primeira biografia a focar exclusivamente em Angus, Jeff Apter mergulha de cabeça na trajetória do guitarrista, de sua origem nos subúrbios de Glasgow e Sydney até os maiores palcos do mundo, revelando em detalhes impressionantes seu estilo único de tocar e seu talento surpreendente para a performance.

O titulo do livro é uma homenagem ao primeiro album de estúdio lançado internacionalmente pela banda na década de 70.

In a career spanning more than 30 years I've written more than 30 commercially and critically well-received books, including biographies of Keith Urban, the Bee Gees, Angus Young and Jeff Buckley. My work has been published all around the world.

New York's Kensington Books has just published my Keith Urban biography in the USA and advance reviews — including praise from 15-time Grammy winner Ricky Skaggs — have been terrific. My other recent subjects include AC/DC's Bon Scott (Bad Boy Boogie), Daniel Johns of Silverchair (The Book of Daniel) and the Easybeats' George Young (Friday On My Mind). I co-wrote the Kasey Chambers memoir, called A Little Bird Told Me, and worked as a ghostwriter with Mark Evans of AC/DC on his bestseller, Dirty Deeds. Kasey's book was part of the '50 Books You Can't Put Down' / Get Reading program in 2011, while Mark's book made NPR's best music books of 2011 list. I also helped Michael Browning with his memoir Dog Eat Dog and assisted Richard Clapton with his book, The Best Years of our Lives.

My biography of Johnny O'Keefe was the Sydney Morning Herald's Pick of the Week in their August 10 2013 issue. My Bee Gees biography, Tragedy: The Sad Ballad of the Gibb Brothers was also Fairfax's Pick of the week and was published in the UK by Jawbone Press. My latest book, 2023's Don't Dream It's Over: The Remarkable Life of Neil Finn is on the bestseller list in Australia and has been widely praised. 'Jeff Apter gives us an engaging portrait of the powerhouse behind Crowded House,' noted the Sydney Morning Herald.

I was a senior writer for Rolling Stone (where I was on staff for several years) and also wrote for the Sydney Morning Herald. I was the music reviewer for The Bulletin for many years and was a senior writer for Vogue and GQ. And I still remember the afternoon I met Aretha Franklin as if it was yesterday.

I'm on Facebook and can also be reached through this site. Also see www.jeffapter.com.au

A simplicidade por trás do gênio do rock

O livro conta a história da família Young desde a origem na Escócia até o final da tour de Rock or Bust, o primeiro onde Angus Young aparece como único integrante da formação original do Ac/Dc. Muito legal saber detalhes de bastidores dos altos e baixos da carreira de uma das maiores bandas da história do rock, na perspectiva do pequeno "gigante das 6 cordas" que ainda é Angus Young.
