RIP Malcolm Young, AC/DC guitarist and cofounder, 1953-2017

[StrandedonEarth]

AC/DC co-founder and guitarist Malcolm Young died early today after a long battle with dementia. He was 64. Another great rocker from my youth down. 

Thanks for all the great pounding tunes.

I hear him ringing Hell's Bell's....

I'm really surprised this hadn't been posted yet.

Sad news, my generation has been taking a beating lately. Unfortunately , it wont be getting any better soon.

Three replies?

@monstah I agree... but I've decided to pay my respects by sharing the first song from AC/DC that really hooked me...

I hope that's ok.

Yeah, I found the response to be lacking. Maybe not enough people recognized the name *runs to edit title*

AC/DC is one of my favourite bands, which is probably obvious since most of the clips linked in my signature have AC/DC songs as the soundtrack

He was the cofounder and rhythm guitarist of the Aussie hard rock band AC/DC. He also wrote many or most of their songs. He was usually lost in the shadows behind brother Angus and original lead singer Bon Scott (who was replaced by Brian Johnson when Bon died after “a night out in London”)

Malcolm’s Rhythm guitar is what you’d be pumping your fist or banging your head to

In the video I shared, he is the guy with the huge white guitar - that's almost as big as  he is!

I just found out about AC/DC's new member...

AXL ROSE

I never thought this was going to happen, we are all about to get our minds blown.

[Matuchkin]

I can't express my giddiness. I want to hear Axl's voice on AC/DC, it's the best musical experiment of the decade.
