Malcolm Young RIP

Brilliant but understated imo. Angus young's lead playing isn't really my cup of tea, for me AC/DC was all about the timeless riffs, and Malcolm was imho the boss. Be interested to know who wrote most hooks on the classics as all songs seem to be dual credited so hard to say?

For those not paying attention Axl Rose of all people is currently the lead singer for AC/DC as the previous has hearing issues, it's a strange world.

I was at their last ever gig with Bon Scott, Southampton Gaumont 1980, Highway To Hell tour. Don't remember a lot about it, apart from being caught drinking underage in the bar beforehand and the curtains going back & Angus Young on a catwalk at the back of the stage strumming away to the opening of Live Wire. I actually find Highway To Hell and even more so Back In Black tedious, muted albums compared to their previous stuff. I know they wanted to crack America but why the got rid of producers Vanda & Young is beyond me. Powerage is their best album, and Keith Richards, Eddie Van Halen, Gene Simmons, agree with me.

I agree with you too, McCoy Carp, I like Powerage the most. Slippyblue, I saw ACDC last time with Axl Rose as lead singer with his foot in a cast and he was superb, it was like Brian who? I was too young to see them with Bon Scott as lead singer sadly but imo Axl is just as good as Brian Johnstone. Sorry to hear about Malcolm, 64 is no sort of an age at all these days but I'm sure he lead a very full life until the onset of dementia.

It's a long way to the shops if you wanna sausage roll.
