I remember Angus being interviewed by some guy and he asked “ people think you are the best guitar player in the world, do you think it’s true?” Angus replied “ I’m not even the best guitar player in my family!” 😂

Angus could play lead guitar falling downstairs.

Typical Australian pub rock in the 70's.

In the late 70's they often started with Riff Raff. One of my faves and crowds always loved it. Fantastic live. You can see Bon already trying to lift the crowd right out front of stage as Angus begins with that classic riff. Best Blue Collar Band ever. Saw them three times in Sydney and once in Paris and Nymegen. Always baffled me how they became more popular elsewhere in the world after Bons death, and less popular back home in Australia as we assumed it was all over for them, despite the success of the following album. Noone liked the new guy Brian. Good vid nicely done. Its simple yet played so well. They were amazingly tight and so much power.

Apparently when Angus was young, the band would go to their house. Angus, still in his school uniform, would jump all around the house showing them what he could do. When he joined the band he kept the school uniform. He plays the guitar he does because his hands are so small. When Brian Johnson joined the band he was the tallest member, at like 5'3".

Just to clarify..................Angus Young thought his big brother, and his sister Margaret, were taking the piss when they first suggested, in the spring of 1974, that he might want to dress up as a schoolboy onstage.

Angus is really one of the best. He’s indescribable. And he totally underrated. Even tho he’s considered one of the best. He’s up there with jimmy page.

Skills honed on hundreds of small live gigs played to small crowds.

Axel Rose did a fair job, much better and with much more respect than I could have imagined.

Both bands are amazing. I see your sides. Blues. Rock. But man. Angus just kills it either way.

Fitting that tribute to the rock gods is rendered by a middle finger to the heavens. How else?

The rhythm section... it's not what Malcolm plays, it's what he doesn't, but being bros, I'm sure him n Angus knew WTF without having to say it, RIP Malcolm🤘🤘🤘🤘

Angus Young in his prime, playing so accurately with wonderful vibrato in his solos while moving all over the stage in his own unique high energy way........... WOW!! Such a high level visual performance throughout an entire gig is something we have not seen before or since from any other rock lead guitarist. I remember been devastated when I heard the news of Bon Scott's death. Thank goodness the band kept their momentum going and made their big breakthrough with Brian Johnson. But I don't think they could have pulled it off if something terrible had happened like a car crash that left them having to try and replace a one off lead guitar player and entertainer like Angus.

@@cathyaldridge4550 100% agree with you. What I meant to imply was that the band could not have continued building upon the level of success already achieved with Bon if they had not had Angus to feature in the visual spotlight. As for BIB. It has Bon's songwriting fingerprints all over it and nobody will ever convince me otherwise. I actually own a couple of early 70's singles and albums by Geordie. When I listen to any of them they have the total opposite affect of listening to any 70's AC/DC album, ie, I turn Geordie down and then usually turn it off before the end of the song. Bon is my Rock'n'Roll hero.

Caesar was a good man. There’s a parallel universe where he was not murdered.
