AC/DC FAQ – All That’s Left to Know About the
World’s True Rock ‘N’ Roll Band
AC/DC FAQ spans AC/DCs 40-year career, starting from the bands inception in 1973. This book covers everything from their early days in Australia to their first tour of England and the United States. It also includes personal experiences, stories, conversations, and interviews by author Susan Masino, who has known the band since 1977. Featuring 37 chapters, AC/DC FAQ chronicles the personal history of each of the band members, all their albums, tours, and various anecdotes. Rebounding from the tragic loss of their singer Bon Scott in 1980, AC/DC hired Brian Johnson and went on to record Back in Black, which is now one of the top five biggest-selling albums in music history. Taking a seven-year break after their album Stiff Upper Lip, the band came back in the fall of 2008 with a new album, Black Ice, and a tour that ran from 2008 through the summer of 2010. Once again breaking records, AC/DC saw the Black Ice Tour become the second-highest-grossing tour in history. True rockers from the very beginning, AC/DC will continue to be heralded as one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.
”AC/DC FAQ is a must-read for the band’s fans. Thirty-seven chapters cover everything from the death of original lead vocalist Bon Scott to the significance of the number 17 in the band’s evolution – and Madison is featured often.” –Isthmus
”Even at over 330 pages, I found AC/DC FAQ to be a quick read, fascinating and engrossing. Literally every page included gems of fun and intriguing information about the band that even a longtime fan like myself was completely unaware of. Masino interjected her own personality and ‘insiders’ perspective to the book to keep the story fresh, interesting, and somewhat personal, which keeps the read from being dry or formulaic. Included are ample photos of rare memorabilia and live shots to enjoy.” –Maximum Ink Music magazine
”This really is a complete and in-depth AC/DC read that covers the band’s entire legacy and really captures the essence of one of the most successful rock bands ever.” –LoDown Magazine

The Story Of AC/DC – Let There Be Rock
Let There Be Rock is the story of AC/DC written by rock journalist Susan Masino, who met the band during their first American tour in 1977. Over the years, she remained in contact with them, watching AC/DC climb to international stardom. Interviews include Malcolm and Angus Young, Perry Cooper, Keith Emerson, Kirk Dyer, Kelly Shaefer, “Pyro” Pete Cappadocia, Mike Andy and Rick Brewster.
Family Tradition – Three Generations of Hank Williams
Covering three generations of Hank Williams, Family Tradition is both unique and vast in scope. Beginning in the present day with Hank III who gave the author unprecedented access and time-traveling across the years, this examines just what kind of rebel mojo inspired this crazed family of country music, from Hank Sr. often regarded as one of the most influential of American musicians to Hank Jr., to this year’s model, Hank III, who has somehow found a way to reconcile his legacy’s deep-rooted twang and high-lonesome sound with particularly searing strains of punk and heavy metal, launching an all-out war with traditional Nashville in the process.
Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy
Backstage adventures with rock journalist, Susan Masino, who met, interviewed and partied with AC/DC, Van Halen, Kiss, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick and many more. Forging a friendship with AC/DC over the past 30 years, Masino went on to write the biography, The Story of AC/DC-Let There Be Rock. She also appears in the Van Halen DVD, The Early Years, and the AC/DC movie, Let There Be Rock.
