AC/DC underwent several line-up changes before releasing their first album, 1975's High Voltage. Membership subsequently stabilised around the Young brothers, singer Bon Scott, drummer Phil Rudd, and bassist Mark Evans. Evans was fired from the band in 1977 and replaced by Cliff Williams, who has appeared on every AC/DC album since 1978's Powerage. In February 1980, about seven months after the release of their breakthrough album Highway to Hell, Scott died of acute alcohol poisoning after a night of heavy drinking. AC/DC considered disbanding, but at Scott's family's request, the remaining members opted to continue the band, bringing in longtime Geordie vocalist Brian Johnson as Scott's replacement. Later that year, the band released their first album with Johnson, Back in Black, which was dedicated to Scott's memory. The album launched AC/DC to new heights of success and became one of the best selling albums of all time.
The band's eighth studio album, For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) (1981), was their first album to reach number one in the United States. Prior to the release of their next album, Flick of the Switch (1983), Rudd left the band and was replaced by Simon Wright, being in turn replaced by Chris Slade in 1989. The band experienced a commercial resurgence in the early nineties with the release of their twelfth studio album The Razors Edge (1990); it was their only album to feature Slade, who was replaced by the returning Rudd in 1994. Rudd has since recorded five more albums with the band, starting with, and including, Ballbreaker (1995). Their fifteenth studio album Black Ice was the second-highest-selling album of 2008, and their biggest chart hit since For Those About to Rock, eventually reaching No.1 worldwide.
The band's line-up remained the same for twenty years, until 2014 with Malcolm Young's retirement due to early-onset dementia (he died in 2017) and Rudd's legal troubles. Malcolm was replaced by his nephew Stevie Young, who debuted on AC/DC's 2014 album Rock or Bust, and on its accompanying tour, previous drummer Chris Slade filled in for Rudd. In 2016, Johnson was advised to stop touring due to worsening hearing loss. Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose stepped in as the band's vocalist for the remainder of that year's dates. Long-term bass player and background vocalist Cliff Williams retired from AC/DC at the end of the Rock or Bust tour in 2016 and the group entered a four-year hiatus. A reunion of the Rock or Bust line-up was announced in September 2020 and the band's seventeenth studio album Power Up was released two months later.
AC/DC have sold more than 200 million records worldwide, including 75 million albums in the United States, making them the ninth-highest-selling artist in the United States and the 16th-best-selling artist worldwide. Back in Black has sold an estimated 50 million units worldwide, making it the second-highest-selling album by any artist, and the highest-selling album by any band. The album has sold 25 million units in the US, where it is the fourth highest-selling album of all time. AC/DC were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 10 March 2003. AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" and were named the seventh "Greatest Heavy Metal Band of All Time" by MTV. In 2004, AC/DC ranked No. 72 on the Rolling Stone list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Producer Rick Rubin, who wrote an essay on the band for the Rolling Stone list, referred to AC/DC as "the greatest rock and roll band of all time". In 2010, VH1 ranked AC/DC number 23 in its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".

AC/DC Lyrics

Just a me and you
Gonna have ourselves a party
Just like we use to do
Nobody's playing Manilow
Nobody's playing soul
And no one's playing hard to get Just a good old rock 'n' roll
Get it hot, get it hot
Come on baby, get it hot
Get it hot, get it hot
Alright
Moving down the motorway
Got a whole lot of booze
Got myself a sweet little (mother | mamma)
Whose got nothing to lose
Goin' bend you like a G string
Enough to light my fire (conduct you like a choir)
So get your body in the right place
We'll set the world on fire
Get it hot, get it hot
Come on baby, get it hot
Get it hot, get it hot
Alright
Ow!
Get it hot, get it hot
Come on baby, get it hot Get it hot, oh, get it hot
Oh little girl, get it hot
Come on baby, get it hot
Make me feel good, get it hot
Oh baby, get it hot

The lyrics of AC/DC's "Get It Hot" are all about going out, having fun, and rocking out to good old rock 'n' roll music. The song is full of energy and anticipation as the singer describes an evening spent with a lover who is ready to let loose and have some fun. He starts by suggesting they "go out on the town" and "have ourselves a party" just like they used to. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who are excited to forget about their worries and let loose for a night of unbridled fun.
The singer then goes on to describe the music they'll be listening to: "Nobody's playing Manilow, nobody's playing soul." This line suggests that the couple is looking for something more upbeat and exciting than the usual slow love songs that might play at a typical nightclub. Instead, they want "just a good old rock 'n' roll", and are ready to party all night long.
In the second verse of the song, the singer paints an even more vivid picture of the debauchery that's about to ensue. He talks about the "whole lot of booze" they've got, and the "sweet little number" he's found to share the night with. He promises to "bend you like a G string" and "conduct you like a choir", suggesting that this won't just be a fun night out, but also a night of sexual exploration and adventure.
Overall, "Get It Hot" is a song that celebrates the carefree, wild side of life. It's a call to action for anyone who wants to let loose, have some fun, and rock out to some classic rock 'n' roll music.
