@@cockroach5717 Then why was AC/DC not as tight with Simon Wright and Chris Slade? Both very good players but they didn't have Phil's pocket. Malcom was a decent 3 cowboy chord player but let's not talk sh*t. Phil was the reason AC/DC had such a Groove back in the day
No "probably" about it! The man was the rarest kind of rhythm player; a metronome that could swing the beat! That's incredibly hard, but it came naturally to him!
@@robloxvids2233 what's happened? Your comedy never took off? Do you know why? It's dire, absolutely dire, you're about as funny as a turd in a swimming pool buddy. That divorce really hurt you bad eh? Your kids got a new dad now, is that why you try to pee on my cornflakes in the comments here big man? Your kid having a new dad has turned you bad, I can understand why she divorced you though and that reason is because you're a loser. I've subbed so I won't miss any more comedy but you will miss your son, just think he is in another house now living with another man as his dad, guess that really f*cks you over right?
A reported once asked Angus, how it felt to be one of the best rock guitarists ever. He laughed and said "well...I don't know about that, I'm not even the best guitarist in our band."
Aside from being the greatest rhythm guitarist EVER, Malcolm made those strings sound like they were as big as railroad tracks, strumming every one of them every time while perfectly muting the ones not played. Very few can play the guitar as well as Mal did. RIP, legend and rhythm guitar god, you are very sorely missed.
Its like human’s kidneys, Malcolm is left and Angus is right, you can live without 1 kidney you get hurt, but without 2, you can’t. AC/DC is same, they have amazing Rock or Bust album (2014 Dec. ) with Malcolm riffs and new album coming in 2020-2021 with Malcolm riffs too.
I am sure there would have been a band called ACDC somewhere in the 70s or 80s, it was a popular word in the culture and would have been picked up by some artists somewhere if the young brothers had not staked their claim on it, might not have got far without Young brothers though
George helped them translate their musical ideas into the production/recording phases. He knew how to capture exactly what they were going for. Without him the albums/songs would have sounded very different from the way they did
In a thousand years, far away on some distant planet, kids will still be popping in Back in Black and playing along with the entire album. I'd like to think.
Two brilliant siblings that bounced off each other ! can you imagine growing up in the house with the pair of them ? how many moments of brilliance shone through !
In a great interview Angus talks about how he and Malcolm always combined to make one amazing guitar. He had a deeper understanding than anybody about Malcolm's creativity, drive & power as the force behind AC/DC. After his death there was never any question of ending the band. Eventually brother Stevie was tapped to play rhythm guitar demonstrating again the depth of music & passion in the Young family. Truly lucky to have been alive at the same time as AC/DC. We salute you!!
Malcom wrote some of the greatest rock riffs in music history! Thats a fact. Thank you M.Y. because of you I had some of the best teen years of my life. For those about to rock...FIRE! I salute you! RIP buddy.
He really is the greatest rhythm player for the greatest band!! I wasn't alive for the prime of ACDC but they really inspired me as a drummer, this rhythm section is absolutely phenomenal.. the best of the best! Here we are in 2021 and we're all still rocking' to ACDC. This is one of my favorites from them.. Much love to everyone here and keep on rockin'
You can really hear how hard he hit those strings, but you can also pick up on how and why he lightens up his attack at just the right bits, too. An absolute master at wringing every last nuance out of deceptively simple riffs.
Malcolm was the genius behind AC/DC he wrote al the hooks. all of the bridges. he created the structure of the songs themselves. not sure what they would have sounded like without him, but most likely they would have been a popular bar band in Australia, and that's it.
An absolute perfectionist, I saw AC/DC with The Late Malcolm Young (R.I.P) three times, and both him and his ultra talented brother, were incredible live. In fact, I’d say AC/DC sound better live, than their studio stuff, a testimony to their talent. And that classic rock tone AC/DC have is the best sounding tone.
I used to love disconnecting one speaker at a time from my stereo during this intro just so I could hear Malcolm and Angus' parts individually. And overlapped they were magic.
Still the best rhythm guitar player who ever lived. But most people forget, he was the main songwriter in AC/DC too. So many unbelievable riffs he wrote.
Oh he definitely was. Angus and Bon may have been the face of the band at that point and then Angus afterwards. It was Malcolm that drove the band. He was the brains behind the group and he was the one that came up with most of the riffs
I've always liked AC/DC and I've played guitar 30 plus years now. Of course Angus rips but I've always liked Malcolm, just simple, straight forward rock. I'll jam with buddies but never played in a band. Don't really have the time or the dedication but if I did I think being the rhythm guitarist and singing backing vocals would suit my fine. RIP Malcolm. Thanks for making your mark in rock n roll.
Legend has it... Malcolm didn’t pick the strings of his guitar, he just bounced up and down and used his dominion over gravity to make his Gretch strike the weapon between his fingers in time with the heartbeat of the universe.
This actually gives my goose bumps. I feel what is more suprising than the beat is the clean picking. If I would play the same thing there would be snarl and at least touching some other strings here and there but Malcom is 100% clear ... amazing. The music remains.
The tone of rock’s best rhythm section.....PERFECTION! I’m still smiling at all the music they’ve given us, and keep giving us! PWR⚡️UP is a fantastic album! Great for an anniversary, and tribute to the man himself! Love it! So do you!!!
bloody fantastic Malcolm was a very underrated guitarist Angus allways got the credit Malcom was the driving force of AC⚡DC he was a great guitarist in his own right and yes angus.is one of the very best guitarists of all time can't take that away from Angus a legendary band AC⚡DC is and allways will be some think that they metal and they are not and Angus and Malcolm would get pissed about that they are a hard rock band and I'm sure the rest of.the band did not like that comment ether anyway happy holidays and peace and love up the irons!!! maiden manic rock loud and proud!!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺⚡⚡🤘🤘🤟🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🌟🌟🌟⭐✨✨
You can hear the absolute precision In Malcolm’s right hand, and his fretting hand. And what a sweet sounding classic rock tone, he got out of his iconic Gretsch Guitar and Marshall Amps.
I’ve always said Angus was the best blues player (not only in Aus) but held his own with the Blues greats! I’ve also wished (so much) that he’d do a sneaky album side project without anyone knowing! 👍
Amazing to get so much clarity inside all that grind. You can hear how much Alex Lifeson influenced not only his rhythmic approach but his tone as well, this one practically screams "Fly By Night". RIP Malcolm.
I’ve always said the first person I’d want in my dream band is Malcom on rhythm guitar with that metronome he had for a right hand. So tight and in the pocket, it’s ridiculous.
Don’t cry because it’s over - smile because it happened.
RIP Mal. Thanks for everything.
What an unreal username!
I think of Malcolm EVERY FUCKIN DAY!
This comment made me cry.
Although I agree with that philosophy wholeheartedly, I struggle with it immensly, man I miss this guy!
And bon too right?
Modern metronomes are almost as acurate as Malcolm Young
Fucking awesome
Thanks for a good smile
Phil Rudd is the metronome
@@chrischoir3594 Nah, Phil really relied on Malcolm for that timing.

Probably the best rhythm guitar player ever , RIP Malcom

Don't sleep on George McCorkle from the Marshall Tucker Band
What about bob weir from the grateful dead
check up mustaine
Wheres what he plays during Angus' solo part?
Never underestimate how important a good rythym player is in a band.
I will underestimate how important it is and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

This sounds completely made up.
Sounds like the one where John Lennon said ringo wasn’t the best drummer in the Beatles (meaning Paul was)
Fiction
He has always been terribly humble and always said his brother was a better player. That's respect, not fiction or made up.
@@Thisispants haha exactly
Mal's so good, he played that without moving a muscle!
Wir werden Dich nie vergessen!!!
@Aerowings '73 no, watch the video, if you don't believe me. Malcolm never moved!
@@aiminghigh276 lol good point
@Mike Hartsell me too. Some comments are so damn witty. 🎸✌

Does listening to this give anybody else goosebumps?

We Salute You

1946*
Bon scott is from 1946 I think
❤️❤️
Half Metronome , Half Sledgehammer. The best right hand in rock history
The dudes right hand was a like a hammer, so sure of himself. That tone is legendary.
If it ain't groovin, it ain't movin - Malcolm
Imagine how many times Malcolm created riffs and thought "yeh, that's pretty good".....now they're rock history
Without Malcolm ACDC would have never existed
Canuckfan78
A movie about him and angus starting acdc would be awesome af
psycho' si Carter it was his and anguses band, Malcolm didn’t own the whole thing
Its like human’s kidneys, Malcolm is left and Angus is right, you can live without 1 kidney you get hurt, but without 2, you can’t. AC/DC is same, they have amazing Rock or Bust album (2014 Dec. ) with Malcolm riffs and new album coming in 2020-2021 with Malcolm riffs too.

There aren't many occasions where I'd like to listen to the isolated rhythm guitar over the lead.
The Absolute best. ❤️✊
What a magical classic rock tone, Gretsch + Marshall = Rock N Roll Heaven.
R.I.P. Malcolm Young.
The Mastermind behind AC/DC...
How was it George? Malcolm with Angus wrote all the riffs...Bon wrote the lyrics and melodies until he passed away and now Brian does that.
George helped them translate their musical ideas into the production/recording phases. He knew how to capture exactly what they were going for. Without him the albums/songs would have sounded very different from the way they did
Please
In a thousand years, far away on some distant planet, kids will still be popping in Back in Black and playing along with the entire album. I'd like to think.
Two brilliant siblings that bounced off each other ! can you imagine growing up in the house with the pair of them ? how many moments of brilliance shone through !
Guess what? There were more than two! There was an older brother named George who was an even bigger legend (plus others who were musical as well)
The best rhythm guitarist ever!!! And played a mean solo as well!! RIP Malcolm!

Malcolm had that PURE SWING deep within his big ol' swinging balls. God bless our beloved Demi-God, Malcolm Young.
That tone. Tasty crunch with a sweet chewy center. Perfect rhythm guitar bite.
The best rhytm section ever...At this moment, AC/DC just released "Power Up"...inspired by Malcolm Y....thanks RIP

This is the guts of the song, done to perfection
What tone, rhythm and so tight all at once!
Will take this over a million note flurry any day.
Amen to that

Without him there wouldn't be AC⚡DC he is the locomotive that keeps the train running
Amén!
One of the most underrated guitarists in music history. Thank you Malcolm and may God Rest your Soul.
Malcolm was the backbone of this band RIP brother.......
There's the sound and feel of ACDC right there...Rest in Peace Malcolm, they'll never be another.
Grew up on AC/DC. One of the best bands of all time!! Malcolm the backbone of the band. I was so sad the day he died.
The positive vibrations of these chords are unbelievable.
An absolute perfectionist, I saw AC/DC with The Late Malcolm Young (R.I.P) three times, and both him and his ultra talented brother, were incredible live.
In fact, I’d say AC/DC sound better live, than their studio stuff, a testimony to their talent.
And that classic rock tone AC/DC have is the best sounding tone.
"It rocks when it stops" said George Young to Malcolm. How right he was.
Rip Malcolm young, in case you didn’t know today marks the one year anniversary of his death (November 18)
Rip
Rip
I can't believe its bin a year all ready.
:(
Malcolm Young ........ PERÚ !
Malcolm you were one of the greatest of all time....Sorely missed ...You made my life better...Thank you
It just goes to show that Malcolm was the back bone of ACDC. His rhythms are so iconic
This man was a true hero and gentleman
One of the most underrated artists on this planet
Malcolm was the most important part of AC/DC
RIP Malcolm
Dude made some of the best riffs ever ... LEGENDARY
great picture of mal in his upstairs room in his house...was always happy with his family close...trying out a Gretch Mal replica...rest easy ol mate.
That sound is pure rock and roll gold. Perfect. That is the AC/DC sound!
Tricky rhythm guitarist. Very underappreciated and underrated. Brilliant
Impeccable timing .
I used to love disconnecting one speaker at a time from my stereo during this intro just so I could hear Malcolm and Angus' parts individually. And overlapped they were magic.
Thank you Malcolm...for all the work you put into making some of the worlds GREATEST music..you are truly missed! R.I.P
Thanks for the music, Malcolm! The world of Rock misses you...
Marshall... is the f**king sound of Rock & Roll!!!
Fucking Hell, Yeah!!!
Still the best rhythm guitar player who ever lived. But most people forget, he was the main songwriter in AC/DC too. So many unbelievable riffs he wrote.
Ok boomer
Smiling from ear to ear. The Young Brothers have given us all some great music and we're lucky to have been around while they walked the Earth.
There will never be another Mal 🎸
Thanks for the memories R.I.P Mal👍
The simplicity is the genius, thanks Malcolm, RIP bro
The embodiment of underrated. Just killer!
Saw AC/DC the first time in78,, HTH tour,, 16 years old ,stoned, loving it all
I've seen them 7 times but never with Bon unfortunately ....
When I picked up my uncle's Highway to Hell album I always thought Malcolm was the leader of the pack ...I was right
Oh he definitely was. Angus and Bon may have been the face of the band at that point and then Angus afterwards. It was Malcolm that drove the band. He was the brains behind the group and he was the one that came up with most of the riffs
Totally agree, but let’s be a little fair...he was listening to a drum track.
It takes a big man to step aside and allow someone to be in the spotlight just so your dream of having THE BADDEST KICK@$$ BAND of ALL TIME!!!
Yeah they were just the 'face' of the band. FFS!
Malcolm was one of the most solid players out there---any genre he was one of the greats.
One of the great guitar players ever and the best rhythm guitar player ever in Rock n Roll

AC⚡️DC is my first musical choc! Great sound, great band and great spirit. Thank’s. We salut you!
And this is live. So clean and precise. Man machine!
These guys are one of kind .....man they are good.....
How in the hell can someone dislike this?? He was the best!
RIP Malcom no one can replace ya #AC/DC Forever 🤘
A true Riff Master! RIP Malcolm . 🎵❤
He was The BEST rhytm guitar plyer!
Amazing touch and rhytm
Wrong. Steve Clark was the best
In this genre, Rick Brewster. Otherwise it's Paul Landers. Malcom is an extraordinary rhythm player though
James Hetfield
Him and the late Rick Parfitt from Status Quo. Also Eddie van Halen is a good rhytm player.
Would have to mention Townsend, Hetfield and Parfitt as well
Malcolm is the Chuck Norris of rhythm playing.
Being playing this tune for straight 4 months now. It still sound different when played by Malcolm.. proud to be fan
My favourite rhythm guitarist. Impeccable feel. Great tone.
What a raw sound, overdriven and right into your face, he was in the shadow... always a great powerful rythmplayer RIB malcom and thanks
Thank you mr rhythm my younger days were brighter listening to you and your brother play
This actually gives my goose bumps. I feel what is more suprising than the beat is the clean picking. If I would play the same thing there would be snarl and at least touching some other strings here and there but Malcom is 100% clear ... amazing. The music remains.

I always liked rhythm guitar the most in this song RIP Malcolm Young
Thank you Malcolm Young for the pinnacle of guitar riffs I've ever heard.
You can hear the absolute precision In Malcolm’s right hand, and his fretting hand.

One of the best rhythm guitarists around. R.I.P Malcolm?
You have done a great service to mankind thanks 👍
Thank You Malcolm for all the years ❤️🤘 We Love you!❤️🤘R.I.P.
He's all we really need, him and the drums... I miss you
Rest in eternal Rock n roll Malcolm! Thanks for everything you gave and everything you are still giving! And that's a lot!
He was the ENGINE of ACDC! RIP and PLAY LOUD MALCOLM!
Guitar instructor extraordinaire, the riff master.
Listening to angus makes me realize how good he really was at blues solos. Not too fast. Just right tone.
I’ve always said Angus was the best blues player (not only in Aus) but held his own with the Blues greats!
I’ve also wished (so much) that he’d do a sneaky album side project without anyone knowing!
👍
absolutely butter smooth! phenomenal!
Amazing to get so much clarity inside all that grind. You can hear how much Alex Lifeson influenced not only his rhythmic approach but his tone as well, this one practically screams "Fly By Night". RIP Malcolm.
Rush and ACDC formed practically the same year so I find that unlikely
I’ve always said the first person I’d want in my dream band is Malcom on rhythm guitar with that metronome he had for a right hand. So tight and in the pocket, it’s ridiculous.
This just brings a big smile to me as it was my Wedding song and we are still rocking !
That tone. Half the enjoyment of this is the tone and the way he's playing the riff. Pure awesomeness.
Thank you for the music Mal !
