AC/DC Rock History
There are hundreds, if not thousands of legendary stories of such rock legends that have been witnessed: From Ozzy Osbourne biting the head off a bat in 1982 to Jimmy Page dating a 14-year-old girl.
These stories became part of history as they were loud and dangerous. But none of these can top AC/DC’s many insane stunts. Drugs, dementia, and until the death of guitarist Malcolm Young — surely it was a long way to the top just for them to rock n roll.

Dubbed by the US Military as “Operation Nifty Package,” as they planned to extract dictator Manuel Noriega from his bunker in December 1989, using only a song from AC/DC.
Noriega, the dictator of Panama, found a safe way to hide from US Attacks in the Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See, it was a veritable embassy for the Vatican. How did the US Military manage to capture him without assaulting the Pope’s territory with firepower? Here’s the answer: “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC.
They mounted industrial speakers and played the song as loud as they can until it grew unnerving to Noriega and suddenly surrended because of irritation. What-a-nice-story.
