AEROSMITH, AC/DC Make Rolling Stone's Rock's Top Comebacks
April 22, 2009, 15 years ago
Rollingstone.com has listed Rock's Top Comebacks. Both AEROSMITH and AC/DC made the list (found here) - check out their descriptions below:
Aerosmith: Between 1973 and 1979, Steven Tyler and Co. were the top American hard-rock band, putting out six multiplatinum albums (Aerosmith to Night In The Ruts). Then Joe Perry and Brad Whitford quit, and the band struggled with substance abuse and irrelevance for a decade. 1987’s Permanent Vacation marked their return and the quadruple-platinum Pump sealed the deal.
AC/DC: The Aussie hard rockers weathered the death of lead singer Bon Scott in 1980 and went on to release Back in Black with new frontman Brian Johnson. But after a string of late-’70s hits and the 1981 success For Those About to Rock We Salute You, infighting kept their output (and acclaim) to a minimum for the rest of the decade. 1990’s The Razors Edge marked a small return, but their blockbuster came again last year with Black Ice, their first LP since 2000 and a sales monster.
