Though AC/DC has spent decades in the spotlight, some fans of the Australian rock band are just now learning the origin and meaning of the group's name.

AC/DC fans are discovering that a sewing machine inspired the ’70s rock band’s name. While the group’s catchy tunes like “Highway to Hell” and “You Shook Me All Night Long” are still being played on airwaves across America, one Reddit user reignited questions about how the rockers got their name in the first place.

The band first shot to fame in 1975 following the release of their first studio album, High Voltage. By 1979, when disaster struck, AC/DC was experiencing global success with the release of Highway to Hell. Their lead singer, Bon Scott, died of alcohol poisoning.
