The Razor's Edge is an album by AC/DC, released on September 21, 1990. The album was the first (and only studio album) to feature drummer Chris Slade, and includes such songs as "Thunderstruck" and "Moneytalks," which are among AC/DC's most well-known songs. The album reached #2 on The Billboard 200 and #4 on the UK, a smash commercial success that returned the band to the popularity of its glory years of the early 1980s. The album has been certified quintuple platinum (5 million copies sold)[1] in the U.S., and the album was re-released in 2003 as part of AC/DC's Remasters series.

Personnel
Tour
With the release of the The Razors Edge, AC/DC left on a world tour. The tour was possibly the most publicised tour they had ever done. The success of the tour was fueled by the crowd pleasing songs, such as "Thunderstruck", "Moneytalks", "Fire Your Guns", "The Razors Edge", and "Are You Ready", which were also included on the AC/DC Live Collector's Edition album. During this tour three fans were crushed to death before a concert in Salt Lake City. To this day Malcolm Young still does not talk about it.
