AC/DC is a 5 piece hard rock band from Australia formed in 1973 by the two brothers Angus and Malcolm Young. Their style commonly referred to blues rock and rock n roll with a quite simple rhythmic structure. The band had several line-up changes, Mark Evans was replaced by Cliff Williams in 1977 and after the tragic death of the lead singer and co-songwriter Bon Scott in 1980, ex-Geordie singer Brian Johnson was auditioned and selected to replace Scott. Later that year, the band released the new album, Back in Black, which was made as a tribute to Bon Scott. The album launched them to new heights of success and became their all time best-seller, selling over 10,000 copies a day in its first week. The band's next album, For Those About to Rock We Salute You, was their first album to reach number one in the United States. AC/DC declined in popularity soon after drummer Phil Rudd was fired in 1983 and was replaced by Simon Wright and with Chris Slade in 1989 up till 1994 when Phil Rudd has returned to the band. Since then, the band's line-up has remained the same. As of 2010, AC/DC had sold more than 200 million albums worldwide including 71 million albums in the United States alone. Back in Black has sold an estimated 50 million units worldwide, making it the second-highest-selling album by any artist behind Michael Jackson's Thriller and the highest selling album by any band. Brothers Malcolm, Angus, and George Young were born in Glasgow, Scotland, and moved to Sydney with most of their family in 1963. George was the first to learn to play the guitar. He became a member of the Easybeats, one of Australia's most successful bands of the 1960s. In 1966, they became the first local rock act to have an international hit, with the song "Friday on My Mind".[14] Malcolm followed in George's footsteps by playing with a Newcastle, New South Wales band called the Velvet Underground (not to be confused with the New York-based Velvet Underground).[15] Their oldest brother Alex

    Dave Matthews Band Bio

    Formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991, Dave Matthews Band, or DMB, is an enormously successful rock, jazz and jam band that has had various tours around the United States and around the world. Originally from South Africa, Dave Matthews was working as a bartender in downtown Charlottesville when approached about forming a band, for he was already known as a good songwriter. This set the wheels in motion for Dave to meet other future members of DMB. DMB’s drummer, Carter Beauford, grew up in Charlottesville and agreed to join upon Matthews’ project. At about the same time as Beauford, Matthews recruited prominent Charlottesville saxophonist Leroi Moore, who also agreed to join. Moore, due from complications suffered in an ATV accident, died in 2008. DMB’s latest album, “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King”, is dedicated to Moore’s memory. With a drummer and saxophonist secured, Matthews approached bassist Stefan Lessard, who also grew up in Charlottesville. Lessard, who was enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University, eventually dropped out due to becoming so involved in the band. Boyd Tinsley, DMB’s violinist, was studying at the University of Virginia when asked by Matthews to join the collaboration. With the band now fully formed, Dave Matthews Band started playing local joints and bars and eventually released their first studio album “Under the Table and Dreaming” in 1994. With 5 albums released between their first and their latest, DMB has shown immense longevity in the music scene. DMB is also heavily involved in philanthropy, always supporting local Charlottesville charities and Habitat for Humanity across the country. With Leroi Moore’s unfortunate passing in 2008, Jeff Coffin became the band’s new saxophonist but has not yet been named an official member. DMB has released more than 15 live albums, which often include improvisation on some of their most recognizable songs and lyrics. The band has won one Grammy Award, and has sold…

    Accounting software is very important when it comes to a company running smoothly. The Enterprise Resource planning software is for the largest organizations with sales exceeding $500 million and more than 500 employees. There are an estimated 17,000 companies that fit this profile. A software system needs to meet the needs of the company and may need certain systems to benefit them the best. Companies may need to keep up with employees work hours, sales commission, and/or payroll. The ERP is for larger companies so they may need systems to keep up with workflow, imagining, business intelligence, or manufacturing. (Johnston, 2003) There are many different systems that are great for the ERP but it has to be perfect for the company when it comes to accounting. Multiview Enterprise .NET n10, NetSuite Financials, Sage 100 Standard and Advanced ERP, SAP Accounting, and Acumatica are all different systems that larger companies may use because they are designed for the larger companies. The Acumatica is a good software from what I have gathered because it has many different systems that it offers. This systems is web-based and offers a general ledger, cash management, accounts payable, an employee portal, currency management, tax management, and deferred revenue management. (Acumatica, 2005)…

After Dreja mastered the bass Page then moved up as second lead guitarist alongside Beck. The new lineup recorded only four songs, which they preformed a couple of times.

    AC/DC was formed in December, 1973, in Australia, by guitarist Malcolm Young, whom had just left his last band, Velvet Underground. He saw first hand all the benefits that came with being a rock star, as his older brother, George Young, reach the big time as a member of the popular 1960s band, the Easybeats. He very much wanted to follow in George's footsteps. Malcolm also could see that his younger brother, Angus, was a very talented guitar player, even if he was only 15 years old, and picked him to be the new band's lead guitarist. Because Angus was still a school boy, his sister suggested that he should wear his school uniform on stage; so he did, and in time the look would become his trademark. AC/DC would go through many personnel changes that first year, but by the time they started to play steady gigs all around Australia, the main lineup consisted of lead singer Dave Evans, Rob Bailey on bass, Peter Clark on the drums, along with the two Young brothers. They recorded their first single in 1974 with "Can I Sit Next to You Girl"/"Rockin' In the Parlour". The song was produced by George, as he would also produce their future albums.…
