New AC/DC Documentary Uncover’s the Band’s History in Sydney, Australia

Broadcast journalist and YouTuber Tom Compagnoni has shared a new 33-minute video on his YouTube channel, deep diving into AC/DC’s musical trajectory.

The video explores the forgotten details of AC/DC‘s earlier years, growing up in Sydney, Australia. From the studios they rehearsed in to the venues they played. Depending on how much of an AC/DC megafan you are, you might even be shocked by some of the facts Compagnoni reveals in this video. Including the band’s first ever show at The Chequers club – a place that’s since been reinvented as a spa, (not very metal).

Speaking about the documentary in more depth, Compagnoni says:

“AC/DC are one of the biggest rock bands of all time — and they were born in Sydney. While Burwood Council has recently commissioned a fantastic mural honouring Angus and Malcolm Young, across the rest of the city there are still no statues, plaques, or major recognitions of the band’s legacy. In fact, some of the most significant landmarks tied to their story are being neglected — or even demolished.

“In this documentary, I go on a personal journey across Sydney to uncover the forgotten landmarks of AC/DC’s history — from their first rehearsals in Newtown to early gigs, recording sessions, and Malcolm Young’s final resting place.”
