How to unlock the For Those About to Rock... achievement in ACDC LIVE Rock Band - Definitive Guide
You don't even need a four-person band. You can do it by yourself. If you have all the instruments from RB or GH, just plug them all in and have them join a session of "Band Tour". Like was said before, it unlocks before a song is played, so then you can stop the song, unplug all your instruments and put them back in the corner. :-p
Literally one of the easiest "band" achievements ever.

Is it safe to assume this can be unlocked online? I only have one guitar, so I can't unlock this by myself; I'm hoping I can just put together a boosting session and get three other people to log in for ten seconds?

I don't think so... it's been flagged as offline only. I think you need to have all the instruments or go visit a friend that does. :-(

Simply get a four person band together and start band world tour it should unlock before a song is played.
While the achievement is easy in theory... you still need ALL four instruments connected to YOUR console to get it. Why you ask?

Assuming that you have 2 guitar controllers (guitar/bass), drums, and microphone with standard Xbox 360 controller (vocals)...

The instrument you prefer to play does NOT matter as you will not even need to play a song.
You can sign-in extra Gamertags as well and they too will also get the achievement.
From the main menu, choose:
MULTIPLAYER -> BAND QUICKPLAY
Press the green fret button on both guitar controllers (guitar/bass).
Press (OR tap the green pad) on the drums.
Press on the standard Xbox 360 controller (vocals).
Press (guitar: green fret button/drums: green pad) on the controller that is the band "leader" (noted above the instrument icon).
Achievement unlocks at the setlist screen.
Feel free to leave the stage because you were only ABOUT TO ROCK. In other words, disconnect all controllers, go for a different achievement, play a different game... whatever you want. You're done.
And by the way... tell the crowd that you are going solo from this point on as the rest of the achievements in this game do NOT require a full band. Good luck!

Good solution. I still need to get another guitar and maybe another drum set for Thrasher in one of the other Rock Band games. +1
