The story<\/strong> is usually written from the point where its myth<\/strong> begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, the roots will always be dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the stories<\/strong> of many legendary bands<\/strong> do not begin beautifully, even under ideal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AC \/ DC<\/strong> is a mythical band<\/strong> within the confines of a very lucrative and successful industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brilliance of their global recognition<\/strong> and success<\/strong> hides a portion of grey areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of them is named Dave Evans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the band’s fans<\/strong> have the impression that Bon Scott<\/strong> was their original singer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But dusting off their story<\/strong>, it will also feature the name of Dave Evans<\/strong>, who was the original frontman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During 1973-1974<\/strong>, while Evans sang<\/strong> in the band<\/strong>, they recorded<\/strong> the song<\/strong> “Can I Sit Next to You, Girl<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A song<\/strong> that became a single by Albert Music<\/strong> and was very successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song<\/strong> was produced by George Young<\/strong>, Malcoln Young<\/strong>‘s older brother, and Harry Vanda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their success was such that Lou Reed<\/strong> wanted them to accompany him on his tour<\/strong>. No small feat for a band<\/strong> that even had underage members<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the band<\/strong> had already gained acceptance and were playing in front of big crowds, Evans<\/strong> left the band<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explains the reasons for his departure in an interview with “The Metal Voice<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reasons<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The problem was purely financial<\/strong>, as he admits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recorded a success, we played a lot of concerts – sometimes three times a day – and I didn’t get paid for it.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We appeared on television, on the radio and we didn’t get paid for it either.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to pay rent, I had car payments, I was working really hard, and I was not getting money.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day we met with our manager and he smart-mouthed me, so I hit him.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was fed up, I decided to leave the band after the tour ended, unless I was getting enough cash, which in the end didn’t happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere in the interview, they asked the singer <\/strong>if I would like to write a book<\/strong> about AC\/DC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evans<\/strong> didn’t rule it out, \u201cas long as a publisher is found<\/em>\u201d adding that he has “too many stories, all unknown to their fans.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope they find a publisher\u00a0and the musician<\/strong>\u00a0to be honest in his narrative, with no disposition for unnecessary bile<\/strong>\u00a0and distortion of events<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
