The early lineup stabilized with vocalist Bon Scott in 1974, with whom the band recorded their breakthrough albums of the late 1970s. After Scott's death in February 1980, the band continued with Brian Johnson on vocals, recording Back in Black (1980) within the same year. Malcolm Young retired in 2014 due to dementia and was replaced by his nephew Stevie Young. Malcolm died in 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAC\/DC's sound is built on hard-driving 4\/4 rhythm guitar, blues-based lead guitar from Angus Young, and powerful vocals.
