DISCOVER THE ROCK ARTISTS

Founded in 1973 by two brothers (Angus and Malcolm Young), AC/DC are a Rock group initially composed of 5 members (Vocals - Drums - Solo Guitar - Rhythm Guitar - Bass).

The vocals, originally performed by Dave Evans, were quickly given to Bon Scott, who was considered to be more experienced and suited to the Group. He was the Group’s singer from 1974 until his death in 1980.

Born on September 23, 1946, Bruce Springsteen dedicated himself to music after discovering the music of Elvis Presley. In 1972, John Hammond noticed him and got him to sign to Colombia. "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J", his first album, was only a minor success. It was in 1975 that his career really took off with his album "Born To Run" and in 1982, with his "Nebraska" album which met with enormous success.

Jean-Philippe Smet, known as Johnny Hallyday, is a French singer, composer and actor born on June 15, 1943 in Paris. He popularised Rock'n'Roll in France in the 60s. Johnny Hallyday is above all a live performer.

With a career spanning more than 30 years, Metallica are the most recognised Heavy Metal group in the world. The adventure began in 1981 when Lars Ulrich (drummer) decided to record a piece for a compilation.

Paul McCartney is an emblematic figure of British music. He was a member of The Beatles in the 60s, the British group had global success. This writer, performer and multi-instrumentalist is considered to be one of the most prolific and popular composers of the 20th century.

The Group's members met at high school: Anthony Kiedis, Flea and Hillel Slovak. They formed the group in 1983 at the end of high school. That year, they signed with the EMI label. Unfortunately, this blend of rap-funk did not seduce.

Roger Waters was born on 6 September 1943 in Great Bookham. Unfortunately, he never knew his father, Eric Fletcher Waters, who was killed during the Second World War. Roger Waters suffered enormously from this absence and this is felt in his compositions.

The rock group, The Rolling Stones, was formed in 1962 in London and had 4 members: Mick Jagger (vocals), Keith Richards (guitar), Brian Jones (guitar) and Ian Stewart (piano). Bill Wyman (bass) and Charlie Watts (drums) joined soon after.

Slash was born on July 23, 1965 in Hampstead, London. From the age of 14, he practised alone on an acoustic guitar. In 1983, he met the drummer, Steven Adler, and left school to form his first group, Road Crew.

Under his real name, Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner was born in Wallsend near Newcastle on 2 October 1951. During his studies and his short teaching career, he spent his evenings playing in jazz clubs.

In 1977, Stewart Copeland was looking for a bassist to create a group. He found Sting and Henry Padovani, who was soon replaced by Andy Summers and they founded The Police!

The rock group U2 was formed in 1976 in Dublin, Ireland and consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, piano, vocals), Adam Clayton (bass) and Larry Mullen Jr. (Drums).
