I love how in all AC/DC interviews the band never takes themselves seriously, they never act like big stars. But they took their music seriously and never compromised to fit the latest music trend.
So true ... actually, all the guys in and around the band are fairdinkum down to earth! That comes across in all their interviews, from Bon Scott, Phil to Cliff!

Yes, he’s just about the music , full stop. Sort of the opposite of Tom Cruise who used to have to be on the front of every magazine and get married (for about 2 or 3 yrs) in a big castle in Italy complete with all the Scientology big wig creeps there to try and present this massive image of success and so on. I watched an interview with Brian Johnson once. He said “None of us are on Facebook or Twitter. We don’t spend our time “Twitting””. I liked the way he even got the word wrong - “Twitting” as opposed to “Tweeting”. People who are on Facebook and Twitter every 5 minutes are often trying to present to everyone where they’ve been and what they’ve achieved in the last 5 minutes. AC/DC are just about the music , full stop.
+WickedKnightAlbel OH yes he is THE god of rock stars! The epitome of perfect! I love Angus. I am a guitar player and I love playing here stuff! I saw them in concert Sept 10 2015 Toronto Canada! Best concert ever in my life! My studio room is dedicated to the best band in the world, AC/DC! Used to be Van Halen but Angus is a way more down to earth then Eddie ever was or will be. Don't get me wrong Ed is a world class virtuoso but AC/DC is just so humble and they haven't forgotten their roots! Angus is a babe! I also love Cliff Williams their bass player! Hot daddy!
Dirty Soxs Amen to Angus and AC/DC! They're my sanity in a world gone crazy! When my world goes down the shitter I just put on Play ball and then my world is A-ok once again!
Can anyone explain what's the point of this phrase about the rent? Is this the kinda band story? I'm not native speaker so it's still quite difficult to understand English, especially this Australian dialect.
Angus plays a sound he developed thru hard work and dedication, on his SG, that is undeniably and instantly recognisable to anyone that listens to Rock music. SUPERB!
Angus Young seems like such a great guy :) I discovered AC/DC when I was a child thanks to my dad who is a huge fan. I grew up with this band and my dream is to go to one of their concert !
VFV I wouldn't even call myself a big AC/DC fan, but seeing them them live was undeniably one of the most powerful experiences I've ever had, and I've seen a lot of great bands. Do yourself a favor and go see them before it's too late!
Huge respect from the bottom of my heart to the entire Young family. They were destined to become great musicians. RIP Malcolm Young, you were the best
I love how in all AC/DC interviews the band never takes themselves seriously, they never act like big stars. But they took their music seriously and never compromised to fit the latest music trend.
Angus is a guitar legend. Underrated when fans are constantly hearing other artists name their influences. Sure his name comes up, but not as much as Page or Beck or some of those guys. Angus is right up there with the greatest ever.
I'm 70 and so ACDC wasn't exactly MY generation. But when I saw a video concert of Angus on stage at Donnington I just couldn't stop watching him perform. He's one of the most energized rock guitarists that I have ever seen!
False Teeth Well did you ever think that might be part of the problem-STRUGGLING. I'm just speaking from my experience. I am a musician some of the best stuff I did was spontaneous.. More lyrically complex songs do require thought, but know when to take a break from it when it frustrates you
What’s funny is he’s playing High Voltage (A,C,D,C chord) and even explains he’s got this high voltage chant. Then goes off and sings riding down the highway playing the high voltage notes
Angus is such an inspirational person and guitar player. Watching and listening to him not just play but talk about his musical life and his own inspirations really want me to bring out the best in myself. I mean, just the way he uses the (relatively) simple minor pentatonic scale to create such jaw-dropping solos and with such stamina is simply second to none. You really can achieve anything if you put your mind to it, work hard and never give up no matter what life throws at you.
I first listened to AC/DC in 76. My buddy was in Australia with the navy. He wrote me about them. Bought my first album from them at that time. Nothing like them. That’s what Rock N Roll is all about.
"I'm not gonna sing..." Angus said, well I'm sure millions would buy an album of "Angus Young - Unplugged" if he had the courage to record one. All I can remember as a Year 6 or 7 student in Primary School 1975-76 was that HIGH VOLTAGE fucken Rocked then as much as it continues to Rock for every school kid, teenager and adult whoever heard it no matter what religion bans Rock music or music in general. Aussie ACDC FAN since 1975.
Angus, in his own admission was always too shy to sing. He would let Malcolm and Bon Scott handle that part of the show while he played guitar. Brian Johnson was the perfect replacement for Scott, and Angus continued with his guitar antics.
Imagine if it was now he would be running back from school to play Roblox. So many of the greats got that way because there was nothing else for them to do
Ah Angus. He and his band helped define my teen years and I still listen today in my 60's. Such a humble, self-deprecating man. Great little interview here.
I grew up near an electric power substation. I would hear the buzzing hum of the transformers when I walked by it. When I first heard AC/DC, I recognized that sound instantly. The name fits.
It’s true Angus rocks both acoustic and electric! You rock Angus we love you! So sad Malcolm isn’t here! But he is gonna be proud of the next AC/DC tour!
The Doco this was taken from - "Long way to the Top" - is an awesome insight into the evolution of Aussie rock music - made by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) quite a while back now.
First time I seen ACDC was in 77 Oakland Calif, Day on the Green with Bon Scott. They jammed, instant favorite. seen them a dozen times. R.I.P. Malcom.
If they had done it during the Bon years, it would have been awesome!! Not so sure with Brian, his voice is very one-dimensional, it's either full on roaring or not at all!😂
AC/DC is a legendary band and angus is a legendary guitarist. Born and raised AC/DC fan and always will be. Wish you guys weren't getting old it sucks I won't get to see a concert :( but I'm fine with the amazing songs over and over again 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is why I love Angus! He’s handsome even now as an older man (no offense to him I love the man! And yes I’m aware this video is probably 10 years old) but he rocks electric or acoustic! Because of him I want to learn to play the guitar. And I could always hear the songs chords, and I always thought it matched “AC/DC “.
The chords worked into the song! That’s just FRIGGIN’ genius! It’s the little things that, me, as a person who doesn’t play an instrument myself, finds such amazing intrigue in the construction of musical works of art (and not just “noise “ as my parents called it!) 🤟🏻
I cannot BELIEVE that I lived in Sydney for 10 years and spent a lot of that time in Burwood for work, passed by the childhood home of George, Malcolm and Angus a gajillion times and never knew. Bugger. I'd have stolen a brick as a keepsake.
He can bloody paint landscapes too, great with water colours as he used to get a driver and drive to the blue mountains near Sydney & do some amazing work, very talented man ....👍🇦🇨
Amazing to hear this insight straight from the horse's mouth...thank you for posting! One of the great hard rock bands of all time! Their music was really special during the Bon years.
I never realized it's A, C, D, C.
That's so awesome
Your point?
Nevermind
Presidentjh Me neither ! Brilliant !
Presidentjh I just checked and it actually isn't. It's A, C, D, A. Then the bridge is C, D, C, D, C, G, D, A.
Geo Musicman geo...you just heard from the man..if angus says its a C then its a C!
Angus Young on acoustic guitar- The internet is finally complete.
Quinn Rollen amen
No the internet wll be fully complete when he sings at least one full verse!
holboroman Oi!
Not yet , angus young playing bass
I didn't know he could play acoustic!😂
I love how in all AC/DC interviews the band never takes themselves seriously, they never act like big stars. But they took their music seriously and never compromised to fit the latest music trend.
So true ... actually, all the guys in and around the band are fairdinkum down to earth! That comes across in all their interviews, from Bon Scott, Phil to Cliff!
Thats big truth,and thats why i love them. They are thrue Rockers,pure and simple,just plug them in!
Because for awhile they were the trend.
Most Aussies dont take themselves seriously..just larikans in nature.
ditto the silent movies...... Yep = I'm not gonna stop til I've pissed you all off !
You can't not love Angus. He's a legend - in the true sense of the word.
I can't not agree you can't not love Angus.
Agree 100%
Brilliant Guitar Player
Bingo. Might not be one's fav, but jees, can't hate him. Impossible.
Incomparable perormer!
a legend - like Michael Foot
Angus: riding down the highway.....i'm not gonna sing (laughter)
so cute!
Ikr!!!😍😍
+XInSaNiTyWolfDogX That's so funny! :D
wayyyy too cute 😍😍
You don't use the word "cute" to describe the absolute monster that is angus young.
OI!
How cool would it be to hangout with Angus, listen to his stories and listen to him play guitar....
Throwing Sparks : Amen to that brethren!
Shut up
Throwing Sparks an have a pint of bitters with him smashing mate.
Angus is teetotal. He'd probably prefer a cup of tea.
And he doesn't have a driver's license so no hot rods
I bet this guy would sound awesome on an electric. ! .
Sarcasm???
GGFCHMMAL Is that a song he does on electric?
Yes its called "High Voltage".
GGFCHMMAL I'm just kidding you, mate.... Angus is a legend!
You got me. Cheers mate.
One of the coolest guys in music....ever.
absotluley very cool.
Him
Kirk hammett
Jimi Hendrix
and Keith Richards
Don't you mean the coolest guy in music
i concur
Angus is a humble man. He hates even talking about himself. That is why everyone loves him.
So true! ... actually, all the guys in and around the band are fairdinkum down to earth! That comes across in all their interviews, from Bon Scott, Phil to Cliff!
except one apparently

+WickedKnightAlbel he's a rock monster!!!
writes a riff like 'high voltage" then shrugs shoulders and says "it paid the rent"
rule #235 of guitar, don't listen to the drummer
that's exactly what I'd have said - well, Angus, did that atcherrly pay the fuckin rent???
In Buckingham Palace, it covered the rent!
Can anyone explain what's the point of this phrase about the rent? Is this the kinda band story? I'm not native speaker so it's still quite difficult to understand English, especially this Australian dialect.
From 'paid the rent' to multi millionaire.
He's got such a great touch when he plays.
stjarna t And people rarely mentions that! He has the ultimate tone fingers
stjarna t ...Together with Jeff Beck
+stjarna 3 of course yeaah...!!!
Jeff Beck had the pickless style
are you talking about this video? because not really. not any better than most other folks.
I'm convinced these guys had more fun than any other hard rock band....period.
Seeing Angus with an acoustic is the weirdest thing I've ever seen on the internet. And I've seen some fucked up shit.
+Guitar Whores Kinda cool that it's a Guild.
+Guitar Whores yeah this may be the pinnacle of weird
+Guitar Whores ...jesus!
+Sideways Horizontal Are you implying acoustic is only for beginners?
Executioner I did not know that, cool
Angus plays a sound he developed thru hard work and dedication, on his SG, that is undeniably and instantly recognisable to anyone that listens to Rock music. SUPERB!
Donald Ingram so true
Donald Ingram , YES, SIR!!!!!
and humbly said “it paid the rent” 😂
Respect. When these guys are gone there's no replacement.
Pop crap. That whiney shit music.😂
This guy has been my hero for 37 years. AC/DC is the soundtrack to my life⚡
Angus Young seems like such a great guy :) I discovered AC/DC when I was a child thanks to my dad who is a huge fan. I grew up with this band and my dream is to go to one of their concert !
V For Videos You got a great opportunity coming up. GET TICKETS!
VFV i discovered AC/DC from movie school of Rock
VFV I wouldn't even call myself a big AC/DC fan, but seeing them them live was undeniably one of the most powerful experiences I've ever had, and I've seen a lot of great bands. Do yourself a favor and go see them before it's too late!

Consider this man's contribution to rock. Now weigh that against his ego. Amazing!
Glad this was posted.A little look into one of the biggest most humble rock gods ever.🤘🏻
He is so humble it blows my mind. He could rock a complete stadium wherever he was in the world.
we're not worthy.. we're not worthy..
we suck.... we suck
We are NOT worthy
I’m gonna watch Wayne’s world now lmfao
@@darthj_der7447 wow, not the brightest are you? he's quoting a movie and he quoted it correctly
ACDC could have pulled off an amazing Unplugged album
It helps that neither Brian nor Bon needed a microphone and could probably holler at the top of their lungs and still be heard.
@@Demiglitch HE DID NOT NEED....A MICROPHONE...
My band's name is XYZ. I'm struggling like fuck to come up with any songs.
I get what you did there...lol!

do require thought, but know when to take a break from it when it frustrates you
Aliens do exist Ryan is now the NEW funniest comment on you tube huh
“ it payed the rent “
Greatest understatement ever !
Greatest band ever !
From the little "riding down the highway" you can hear Angus could also sing if he wanted to! :D
It had some charm and I wanted to hear him sing some more as well.
What’s funny is he’s playing High Voltage (A,C,D,C chord) and even explains he’s got this high voltage chant. Then goes off and sings riding down the highway playing the high voltage notes
William Bennett Well, they're pretty much the same song. It's not important to me, though.
He's done backing vocals on most of the songs in the studio.
Listening to guys like this talk about the creative process is awesome.
To hear him play acoustic and sing for a second..that was a trip.
A GOLDEN MOMENT. PURE MASTERPIECE...
This guy... What a touch he has on his guitars.. what a legend.. oh Angus.. m so lucky I am fan of you...
Amazing guy , amazing musician , a gift for us all

I’m a Big AC/DC fan, especially the Bon stuff and I never realized the significance of the chord progression. Cool to hear it from Angus himself. 👍
Awesome! Very interesting,leaves you wanting more of this content. Angus Young Rocks!
Hell yeah Angus you are the best thing that ever happened to Rock and Roll
Angus needs to put out an acoustic album. I'd buy it!
Man, this guy is a pretty good guitarist. I hope he gets famous one day.
Lol how can u not know Angus Young ACDC guitarist
@@pheigavictor9997 joke
He might be okay on an electric. ; )
Some people just dont know sarcasm when they see it
Being so famous and humble at the same time is such a gift ...!
His riff was BADASS!.LONG LIVE ANGUS YOUNG!
That is simply outstanding
Absolute legend his legs are even going when he plays sat down😃
We need more of this..
It paid the rent..... rock on.. could listen to him talk and strum for hours

Did I just see the greatest video on the TH-cams ever?
Yes
.................yes................
That's so awesome. So that's how it got started. He's school uniform. He was so eager to get into guitar, he would just come home and keep it on.
Imagine if it was now he would be running back from school to play Roblox. So many of the greats got that way because there was nothing else for them to do
It’s just so pure and beautiful…simple can be incredibly technical…so good.!!!
An acoustic album of just Angus playing and singing would be magical
Such a humble genuine guy 🤟🏻 legend
"What's it like being the best guitarist in the world?"
"I'm not even the best guitarist in my family"
where can i find the interview in which he says that?
Ah Angus. He and his band helped define my teen years and I still listen today in my 60's. Such a humble, self-deprecating man. Great little interview here.
One of the greatest Blues and Rock guitarists ever!!
I grew up near an electric power substation. I would hear the buzzing hum of the transformers when I walked by it. When I first heard AC/DC, I recognized that sound instantly. The name fits.
Still self-conscious about singing after all these years 👍
Such a beautiful light right hand touch.

After I saw that the notes reflects the name of the band... MIND BLOW!!!
Paulo Oliveira he really is
First time I seen ACDC was in 77 Oakland Calif, Day on the Green with Bon Scott. They jammed, instant favorite. seen them a dozen times. R.I.P. Malcom.
Best dude in rock history.
angus, a really great artist!!! i love his easy but creative style of music.
Keep those angels rocking Malcolm Young, RIP
Love this guy!
Legend...
Such a charismatic and down to earth guy, never would have thought that from his electrifying stage presence
I'd love to here AC/DC unplugged...
If they had done it during the Bon years, it would have been awesome!! Not so sure with Brian, his voice is very one-dimensional, it's either full on roaring or not at all!😂
This guys genius lies in his writings' simplicity...it's truly astounding 🔥
Angus seems like a really cool guy!
I love listening to Angus talk the man is a rock legend and always sounds like a nervous kid when he's being interviewed
An Introvert that found his vehicle of self expression. Love this moment with Angus!

Genuinely decent and down to earth bloke. Not heard anyone say a bad word against him.
I love it! he’s playing a Guild acoustic my favorite brand of guitar. I own a couple of them and they are rock solid pieces of equipment! Nice angus.
Yes, it looks like an early Guild D25. I have one the same. Mine is from 1971 and it’s an awesome guitar.
