I agree he deserves more recognition, but it must also be pretty cool to be in one of the biggest rock bands in history, and still largely be able to lead a normal life outside the constant public eye

Cliff is pure class, thanks for all the great albums and live gigs, enjoy your retirement. AC/DC can stop now, nothing else to prove, forever in history.
PsychedelicFerret Who are you to say it's not AC/DC anymore? Angus fucking Young says it is, so guess what, IT IS. And why wasn't it not ACDC anymore when Bon left? Why is Brian replacing Bon acceptable but not Axl replacing Brian? Or Cliff replacing Mark Evans? Was it not ACDC in 1988 when Stevie took over for Malcolm on the Blow Up Your Video tour?
only a fool would tell a rock band like acdc that is selling out stadium tours to stop. They are the last real rock band there is , if you don't like them anymore then go away and pretend they are not there while the rest of us can rock on and enjoy for the next 10 years hopefully.
You`re a dope. The whole machine of AC/DC is Malcolm. Without Malcolm AC/DC as we have known them for 40 years are gone. Yes Stevie replaced Mal for the Northern American leg in 1988 but it was for concerts not recording. Huge fucking difference. Bon didnt leave AC/DC you fuckwit, he died. Mal wanted a bassist that would do backing vocals thats why Cliff came in & Mark exited. Phil Rudd will only ever be the right & true drummer for AC/DC. No other drummer they have had has the swing that Phil has that is needed for the AC/DC sound. So yes idiot.. No Brian, Mal, Cliff or Phil = NO AC/DC !!!!!
The thing I love about AC/DC is that they make me feel like I've been friends with them for years, even though I haven't met them. I feel like I'm having a conversation with them when I watch stuff like interviews even though I've never been able to say anything to them. They always puts a smile on my face and make me happy, ever since I first got into AC/DC before I could walk. thank you AC/DC. You've inspired me as a 17 year old to pick up my guitar, microphone, drums and bass and give it my best shot to make more rock n roll in the world.

AC/DC as individuals are underrated which is crazy as hell. They never got the press they should have here in the U.S. because of Tipper Gore and her bullshit vendetta against their music. They have been my favorite band for 44 yrs.
MarkanVaran7. The bass on Shot Down in Flames is not a "groove". The bass on that song is the Drive. It drives the verses and lays back on the chorus. Just pure effin 8s the whole way through except for the chorus. It's really the epitome of rock bass or how it should be. You can lose yourself and never miss a movement. Just listen to the guitars for your movements. The whole song itself is so complex in its simplicity that it's almost magic. If you can play bass it seems natural even at the end hitting the twelfth fret on the G string and then the A string with a slide down. You don't even have to think about it too much. This is probably my favorite ACDC songs. To play and listen to.
Cliff is the unsung hero of the band. Very quite and humble guy who just goes out there, stands back in the wings and rocks with the best rock band ever. Who wouldn't give their right nut to play with this band, for 100,000 people, just once. He got to do it for 40 years.
Always loved Cliff’s attitude, always positive, never self absorbed, always complimentary of others …the brother is a class act, through and through and one of the best bass players in Rock Music history.
Cliff is a legend, a grand, great, phenomenal. He does not get the attention and praise he deserves. He deserves so much more than what some people think.
This is so true. In all my years of listening to rock it seems like most of the time the bassist is least shown or spoken about. They all deserve equal recognition as they are the driving force behind the band.
in this day and age, it is so nice to see how much respect and appreciation these extremely talented musicians has for one another! they truly understand each other's role, value and love playing their music.
AC/DC is more family to each other than most actual families are. God bless them. One class act in my book. You just don't see that in bands these days. Long live Angus and AC/DC.
The true heroes of AC/DC. Behind the flashy solos and stage presence from Angus and Brian, we have the foundation. And you gotta be really precise about it, otherwise it wouldn't work. Well done!
I think he gets plenty fair acknowledgement for what he does... which is... not much, besides like he said himself "support the guitars" and "stay out of Angus' way" lol!!!
For me cliff's greatest song where he did his greatest bass player was on a song from his first album ever with AC/DC their 1978 album powerage on the track sin city he had this jazz thing going on midway through the song and it actually sounded awesome. There will never be another bass player like cliff he truly is one of a kind 🤘🤘
So much love for the man and the art... totally one of my top 3 all time bass heroes. I don't care WHAT you do.. to do it for forty years and become increasingly loved all the time for what you do... BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT TOO?? I respect the hell out of this man. What a great attitude.
Look for benefit shows in Fort Myers. He still does them occasionally....That's where I met him. Totally a Class Act. He was super nice to me and my lady.
As a bassist Cliff Williams is a model for me and non-bassist people might think that his bass Line are simple because he plays few notes but the to mix rythm and his down picking playing style is so hard to keep on just on track (one of the most difficult is giving the dog a bone) so he needs more recognisation because he’s a legend and one of the greatest bassist in rock history🤟🤟🔥⚡️
Cliff, I have been listening to you since 1977 so I have been with you since you started. You are a great bassist. Have been able to enjoy the band for all these years and it has been one hell of a ride. Thank you. Long live AC/DC.
Cliff thanks for coming back we (the fans once again) appreciate you for what you do for the band and are happy your back! Even if it is temporary so I’ve heard online? I don’t know if I believe everything I hear online? Whoever they get next if they do get another person or if you decide to stay just know us the true fans support whatever you decide to do!🤘🎸🤘🎸 and we salute you!
He was hiding his true feelings in this interview because he left shortly after this because he said it just wasn't the same without Phil and Brian, and that's why he came back now because they are back, and the new album kicks ass I think it's the best album since Back in Black.
They really took off with Cliff on bass. The perfect pick! He had that certain less is more thing to add. Very underrated as a bass player, Cliff Williams! Absolutely not ego driven like todays lead bassists.
Catman comment: Cliff was the one and only sole inspiration that led me to become an bassist. The best in the business as far as I'm concerned. Much love and appreciation!
The greatest rhythm section in rocknroll in my humble opinion, Malcolm RIP, Cliff and Phil Rudd. It is their foundation upon which AC/DC's sound is built. Without the swing that they provide it just wouldn't sound the same. A lot of bands (Krokus, Rhino Bucket, Airborne, Burnt Out Wreck) try to sound like AC/DC and produce entertaining music, but they can't quite replicate the feel and that swing that the classic DC rhythm section had.
@@jackthomson5047 Always swingin, there's even an interview with Angus where he explains what he means by saying they're a Rock n Roll Band and not a Rock Band.
Rudd is the foundation of that swing too. That's why Chris Slade only sounds good on The Razor's Edge material. He was their drummer when they did it and it meshed well but the rest of their music was all pretty much written with Rudd behind the kit and as Brian Johnson says "If it doesn't swing, it doesn't mean a thing.." The rest of the music feels sloppy and unorganized with Slade drumming because it just doesn't quite fit.
@@jackthomson5047 Rudd's timing is flawless but there is a "Swing" in his beat that is required for the proper sound. A simple accented stagger in the hihat and a late snare pretty much is the main difference. You can hit the bass drum a touch early too putting a little more delay between it and the snare for added effect. There is a trick with the hihat he does as well that not only make it half the effort but also gives it a different accent and tone by making every other strike towards the top of the hihat with the tip of the stick and the egde of it with the side of the stick. Watch him carefully sometime , It's slick as hell and he can do it all while smoking a cigarette!
Cliff doesn’t get as much of the praise as some of the others, but he really should. I’ll say this, I’d be nowhere near as thrilled to be watching an AC/DC show and see anyone else but him in that position.
Cliffs bass playing in Powerage took the band up several notches - incredibly musical in his approach and A perfect fit for Phil’s incredible groove. AC/DC in the Bon era were probably the most complete rock band in history
The greatest band in history...my addiction since 1976.....AC/DC nobody but nobody in my book compares to them....AC/DC and the three stooges prevent and cure depression..

Cliff is a true AC/DC LEGEND.
For those about to rock.
Cliff really deserves more recognition and credit he keeps the tempo going. He is my favorite bassist and my big inspiration to bass guitar.
I agree he deserves more recognition, but it must also be pretty cool to be in one of the biggest rock bands in history, and still largely be able to lead a normal life outside the constant public eye
Cliff prefers not being in the lime light.
I know I'm just saying he deserve more credit for his baselines in AC/DC
Underrated as hell, hope the rumours are true that he‘s back in the studio with the band again
Shukriyadhan do you mean “Shook”? If so, the answer is yes, that song came out in 1980 and Cliff became bassist in 1978.

They've had nothing to prove since Back in Black. They are still doing it because it's what they love. Who are you to tell them to stop?
Because it's not AC/DC anymore. Whithout Malcolm, Brian and Cliff, it's a tribute band.
PsychedelicFerret Who are you to say it's not AC/DC anymore? Angus fucking Young says it is, so guess what, IT IS.

All of the AcDc band mates are so polite and humble, soft spoken. You'd never guess they were rock n roll stars if you didn't know them.
Unless you saw their hairdos. ;)

Cliff seems pretty cool. He was always part of pulse, the sound, the feel, the drive of the band. Worth a closer listen than he sometimes is deemed.
Why is that all of the bassists named cliff are so cool?

My Dad was named Cliff. He played bass with Lonnie Mack and Tommy Bolin back in the 1960s

not even close
Without a doubt.
I love me some AC/DC too, but not a chance
No
Always loved Cliff’s attitude, always positive, never self absorbed, always complimentary of others …the brother is a class act, through and through and one of the best bass players in Rock Music history.
DItto.
Cliff is a legend, a grand, great, phenomenal. He does not get the attention and praise he deserves. He deserves so much more than what some people think.
Thank you Cliff for coming out of retirement to reform the band in 2018-2019 to give us an excellent album in late 2020.
He’s really underrated as an AC/DC band member. Most people overlook him and go to Angus, Malcolm, and Brian, and of course Bon too.
This is so true. In all my years of listening to rock it seems like most of the time the bassist is least shown or spoken about. They all deserve equal recognition as they are the driving force behind the band.
Which means Phil - who is great - is underrated as well.
And Brian is the most self impressed with an inflated ego of all.
One of the best rocking bands of all time.
Cliff Williams and his entire family, parents and children are all 1st class very down to earth great people. A gentleman he is.
Legendary band.. I've been a fan since 1978
Since 1976 here.
Cliff is a bass genius, period. Then he's gentle like all the members of the band.

Best band I've seen and band I've seen the most... thank you cliff for the goosebumps 🤜🤛
Cliff, I thank you so much for being my inspiration to start playing the bass guitar.
So glad the band got together again to bring us the 2020 highlight of a difficult year with PWR UP!
Absolutely one of the all-time greats. You don't need to be fancy, you just need to be.

Glad to see Cliff back for their new album.The chemistry is still there.👍🎸

i will never forget the bass at the beginning of Live Wire. Thats one awesome tune!
It's the notes you DON'T play, not the ones you do.....

Underrated bass player
70 years old! I hope he stays with AC/DC.
A shy and quiet guy, but no one understands AC/DC like he does and because of that, this band has that great sound.
He was in a UK band called Home... Great country-rock!
Cliffs bass playing in Powerage took the band up several notches - incredibly musical in his approach and A perfect fit for Phil’s incredible groove. AC/DC in the Bon era were probably the most complete rock band in history
THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD

My favorite bass player! Plays in the pocket and grooves like no other!
What an absolute legend
cliff & phil together might just be unbeatable, idk
The Great Cliffs of Bass
Cliff Burton and Cliff Williams
LEGEND AND they all seem just like normal guys .... and they are HUGE ROCK ALL OF THEM INCLUDING BON SCOTT RIP ..
True GENIUS. The GEM.
This is why I love bands like ACDC there fans of there own fans
My sentiment exactly. They work hard to please the fans with no hype or egos from any of them. And they do that very well. God bless them.
I've heard people say Clliff is an average bass player, but I feel he's exactly what he is supposed to be!!!❤ take care my friend
One of my favorite Bands
Cliff has always gone about his business and is perfect at it.
Powerage has always been my favourite album, still have the original album 😁
