AC/DC win first Grammy Award

AC/DC have won their first Grammy.

It was a long way to the top for the rockin rockers and today the band beat Linkin Park, Nickelback, Alice In Chains and Metallica to take away the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance.

AC/DC won the award for 'War Machine’, a song that wasn’t even an a-side. 'War Machine’, from the 'Black Ice’ album was the b-side to the 'Rock and Roll Train’ single.

However, they missed out on the Best Rock Album award. That went to Green Day.

'Black Ice’ producer Brendan O’Brien also won for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical for Black Ice, as well as his work with Pearl Jam, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage and Bruce Springsteen.
