AC/DC have won their first Grammy.It was a long way to the top for the Aussie rockers and tonight 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.
