He really was a class act all the way. I don’t think I’ve ever been so upset as hearing a musician passed as I was with Malcolm. Maybe Karen Carpenter was as sad.....
Yes he was so modest, not even sad well i am part of that bend too, no that is because what Angus and Brian do on the show, something is going to happen tonight. As rhythm guitarist he was impeccable!
angus too... if you ask angus, everything was malcolm, malcolm taught him how to play, setup angus's amps to sound good, wrote the songs, played the solos even until he decided to sit back and let angus run around on stage and yet, they were both the best at what they did
Malcolm is completely true. Yes there is the thing what the Stones did....Rhythm an Blues. Rock n Roll....Harder and more perfect than Beatles or Rolling Stones
Phil can SWING. That's pretty much all there is to it. I don't think swing can be taught. Either a drummer has it or he doesn't have it. Most drummers don't. Phil does.
Just looking at the 2 up from Angus and Brian but when the backing vocals were needed the rest of the band came forward and sang then stepped back and let Brian and Angus take lead such an amazing organised band.
Malcolm Young is one of the greatest creators of songwriting riffs & hooks ever. Not only in rock, but across all genres of music. That Malcolm never felt the need to take credit for his achievements tells you a lot about the man.
Malcolm was someone who knew exactly what he was doing musically and sonically. Phil Rudd is also a key ingredient to the bands sound and power. RIP Malc
Malcolm shows a smidge of his genius here that he kept under wraps. His depth perception of rock vs rock and roll vs metal is phenomenal. He knew exactly what kept fans coming back and he should he created it in the first place. Thanks for the memories Mr Young.
I don't care what anyone says. Phil Rudd is the best drummer for AC/DC. He is without doubt the best drummer they ever had. He is right on every time and he plays with great power and tightness. No one beefs up the sound of the band like Phil. When Phil, Cliff, and Malcolm lay down the rhythm, it is unbeatable! Add Bon or Brian and Angus, and you have the greatest kickass Rock 'n Roll band ever! There is only one other band that could match them and that was THE WHO.
Totally true...way back in the 1954/5 Sun studio sometimes one of the guys would say that they'd hit a bum note in a take and could they do another...Elvis would say, "nah leave it alone the feeling was right..that's what matters"....Sam Phillips was the same...he used to say "The last thing I'm looking for is 'perfection'."
he keeps a beat, that is all. Is that what you mean by rhythm? LIsten to the drums in Who made who and esp blow up your video, they are WAY more interesting, more accenting and less predictable. There is a comment only two below where he refers to him as a drum machine, i think thats a pretty accurate summary of his style.
@@eastpross Lmao you don't understand AC/DC, they're all feel, not "interesting" or accents. It's all about swing, the other guys didn't have that. I liked Chris cause he was so far off from phil that it just pulled the band in a whole other direction, but Simon was like blue balls, it was almost like phil but nope.
First time I've heard Phil admit that he technically has quite a few problems as a drummer. Most stars will never admit that, yet nearly everybody has quite a few problems with their instrument when compared to textbook ideals. He's one of my favorite drummers for his style ideas and feel, and I will always love his playing.
My heart goes out to the members of AC/DC especially Angus, for standing side by side with someone in band has an affect on you! I got teary when I heard of Malcolm's passing!
Malcolm is just so bright when it comes to how their music needed to sound. Him and Angus together made the music flow. Even though Malcolm is gone, he still lives on through Angus’s gifted guitar picking and riffs. Totally immortalized in heaven and recorded music for generations to enjoy.
So sad that Malcolm passed away - especially in the way that he did. He was so vital to the AC/DC sound, as well as responsible for so many of their iconic riffs. Truly a legend, as much as Angus.
+malstewa ,I don't think he's talking about Phill's drumming. He's showing the diference between a rock band and a rock n roll band and how the drums sounds in each one. AC/DC is a rock n roll band with Phill, Simon or Chris in the drums . Don't see ghosts where are any (by the way, they call Chris back and I'm so happy about it, he deserve it)
I remember when I was 15 ( back in 79/80) a guitarist of a Portland Oregon band called “Rising tide” stopped by my folks house to talk about a rental property my folks were managing and he heard me banging away on my guitar and he walked into my room and he said Dude you are killing it who is giving you lessons. I said Malcolm young is and he looked at me and said you couldn’t have a better teacher keep it up you sound great. I think of Mal and I always think of that day! Miss you Mal.
Thank you Malcolm!!! The guitar teacher I never met. I’ve learned so much from all those AC/DC albums. You taught me how important a simple sustained “A” chord can be.
Phil Rudd 🥁 still one of the all time greats who continues to inspire .. Malcolm (RIP) deserved a state funeral 🇦🇺 for what he did for music 🎶 will be missed but his music will live on forever
Malcolm knew his craft intensely. His reasoning for people coming back to see them, reigns true in my world. First saw them in 79, with Nugent and went on to see them 47 more times up to 2008. Ya never knew what was gonna happen on the stage, in the parking lot, in some local alley, bar, etc. AC/DC brought magic and mischief to town, each visit. Saw most of my shows in NYC,NJ,MA,MA and PA. Each tour, I go to ever local arena to see them. At least in the greater metropolitan area. Me and my buddies would party hardy before all shows and go and rock out and get some vented aggression out by air guitaring through the shows, LOL. It was the best vibe ever, for a rock and roll show. We came in legions to see them. Me and my buddies even made a "BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SUCKS" banner which we brought to many NYC/NJ shows. People used to cheer at us, LOLOLOL. Man, those were the days.
Phil Rudd ! You Rock ! AC/DC ain't AC/DC without you. Glad you are back. Your new Album made 2020 something special, a light at the end of the tunnel while we still walk through this global disaster. Malcolm R.I.P.
Tom Petty also described Rock N Roll the same way "there's a Swing in the roll" and here is Mal saying the same about the swing in the Rock N Roll. Love it.
Love when Malcolm is talking about the swing in their music. Best example I've heard of that is in Go Down....and the version of it they played in VH1 Live was just phenomenal 👏 👌
Malcolm was the brains behind the sound of the band. To me, it seems that Malcolm is one of the worlds most underrated rock geniuses. RIP Malcolm Young, and thank you for all your contributions to rock music!
I first saw AC/DC on Australian TV in late '74 or early '75. They were playing "Baby please don't go." The lead singer was was wearing a school girl uniform with an Annie Oakley style wig and knickers and he lit up a cigarette as part of the act (imagine doing that in a tv studio these days).The lead guitarist was dressed as a school boy who looked about fifteen but could he burn up the fretboard! At the time you had Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Bad Company doing the rounds but Acca Dacca had such a distinct sound. For me, Bon Scott was and always will be their lead vocalist.
I love what Malcolm said here! Still can’t believe he is gone. I’m forever grateful for how he influenced me as a guitar player. We will all miss you! Thanks for the countless hours of entertainment.
If it aint broke don't fix it. Thank god they stayed true to themselves and what they knew sounded good. Whenever these new kids on the block play an ACDC cover the whole joint erupts, you can't resist their music. Thanks boys
Wonderful man with the best talent. You are sadly missed Malcolm. So glad my godson has your name included in his. You were a first class guitar man. First class drummer Phil. 😂😅🤗🎸🧡🧡💖❤️
Malcolm God rest you and thank you so much for 18 of the greatest concerts I've ever been to 77 to 2008 , you will truly be remembered its now 2018 no mal no more Phil , Brian ,Cliff . ANGUS call it a day don't go dragging the name throughout the years with hired hands ITS OVER Time to go through the Archives and put something truly special Together you have so much to choose from especially with all that's out there on Bootlegs and video as well
rip malcolm I'll always remember how much you loved and drived to bring acdc into the world you played for the sheer love of it and what a rhythm guitarist musician you were
Rest in Peace Mal, God Bless You, one of the greatest rhythm guitarists of all time, you'll be glad to hear that the boys are back, and better than ever, may you and Bon Ride On and rock the heavens, RIP Bon as well!! 😀 😀 🤘 🤘 🎸 🎸
I currently play lead for a band, but I’ve always felt that I gravitate more towards that same similar rhythm style that Malcolm does rather than Angus. Its awesome to just hook into that riff, beat those poor strings to death and have fun with it, keep it sounding nice and solid. Like you can have fun and not have to worry about hitting a wrong note or messing up in a solo
What Malcolm says is absolutely right. Both the Stones and ACDC, although different in sound and attitude, are deeply rooted in 50's rock 'n roll. Especially the Chicago-type of rock 'n roll echoes in their music. You can tell by his live show and his licks how big a Chuck-Berry-disciple Angus is. Same goes for Keith.
This is hands down one of the best AC/DC interviews I have ever seen. Too short though. Alot of Malcolm showing why he was one of the most important parts of the band. All the guys really don't like talking about themselves so this was a nice break from that.
One of the things I love about AC/DC is how- as they all say here- they’ve just been who they are for 45 years. They’re a great example of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” If they need a new singer, drummer, guitarist just do what you have to do and carry on. These guys never went through their “adult contemporary” phase with polished up sounds and drum machines like so many other rockers did in the 80’s and, as far as I can tell, there was never any big-ego drama that caused Van Halen like break ups and feuds and years of lost time. AC/DC has just kept churning out vocals, two guitars, bass and drum, blues influenced rock for almost 50 years and we love them for it.
Wow, Malcolm and Keith Richards (i remember from a Rolling Stone magazine article i read over 20 years ago) both said the same thing about their rare style of rhythm and rock 'n roll: They got the feel, groove, and as they emphasize the "swing." Not that fast choppy marching band thing like most hard rock and metal bands
Malcolm so humble, didn't even mention his own brilliant contribution. Legend.
He really was a class act all the way. I don’t think I’ve ever been so upset as hearing a musician passed as I was with Malcolm. Maybe Karen Carpenter was as sad.....
'good writing' isn't praising himself?
Yes he was so modest, not even sad well i am part of that bend too, no that is because what Angus and Brian do on the show, something is going to happen tonight. As rhythm guitarist he was impeccable!
angus too... if you ask angus, everything was malcolm, malcolm taught him how to play, setup angus's amps to sound good, wrote the songs, played the solos even until he decided to sit back and let angus run around on stage
and yet, they were both the best at what they did
@@michaelstephen819 good is just satisfactory. It does the job. When you compare that label to the actual output I think he's underselling himself.
The more i learn about Malcom, the more i realize how genius he was/is!
Malcolm sounded like such a cool dude, very humble, and well-spoken! Rest in peace Malcolm Young!
Rather surprised he sounds that young at his age. Could have sworn he'd have a deeper voice being that old
Malcolm was spot on,,, "the Stones and us",,,,,,,,,,,100% True. God Bless Malcolm the driving force and Genius of ACDC.
majormike Malcolm the greatest rhythm guitarist ever!
Both Keef's and Angus' biggest inspiration was Chuck Berry.
Of course
Johnny Rios , goes back , loads of rock n roll around back then
Malcolm is completely true. Yes there is the thing what the Stones did....Rhythm an Blues. Rock n Roll....Harder and more perfect than Beatles or Rolling Stones
Malcolm is right about Phil. He is the real sound. No other drummer that has drummed for acdc come close to Phil.
I liked Chris but Phil kept the beats perfectly even though he wasn’t flashy or fast playing, dude never missed a beat
100% Agree. The other guys are good, but Phil is part of the AC/DC sound.
Phil can SWING. That's pretty much all there is to it. I don't think swing can be taught. Either a drummer has it or he doesn't have it. Most drummers don't. Phil does.
Malcom was the heart of AC/DC. Phil is the motor.
First time after 40 years someone finally explained AC/DC to me... it’s that swing
Just looking at the 2 up from Angus and Brian but when the backing vocals were needed the rest of the band came forward and sang then stepped back and let Brian and Angus take lead such an amazing organised band.
who else is watching this in 2020 and is thinking that Malcolm would be proud of Power Up
Malcolm Young is one of the greatest creators of songwriting riffs & hooks ever. Not only in rock, but across all genres of music. That Malcolm never felt the need to take credit for his achievements tells you a lot about the man.
How brainy he is with music talking and behaviour.. Its beautiful to watch him
Malcolm Young Is Truly Missed One Of Greatest Rhythm Guitarist’s Ever 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Malcolm was someone who knew exactly what he was doing musically and sonically. Phil Rudd is also a key ingredient to the bands sound and power. RIP Malc

You are spot on 👌🤘
AC/DC also sounded better after Cliff Williams joined
Totally agree - Phil Rudd is such a powerhouse and gives AC/DC a rock solid foundation. I feel the same about Cliff Williams.
@@Autopsy6 It's a shame Cliff Williams wasn't on the Let there Be Rock album as that would have been considered AC/DC's finest work.
Absolutely 💯.
Gaddamn i miss Malcolm, RIP brother, rockin in heaven for sure!!
Malcom...the brains behind ACDC. I feel so bad for him!
why do you feel bad for him?
oh. I almost forgot he had dementia. right
HAS dementia. There's no coming back.
The Artful Dodger sadly so
I'm sorry for saying this, but your comment is really ironic
I have tears in my eyes now watching Malcom. 34 years ago I heard Hells Bells, and it forever changed me. Malcom, you are gone, but not forgotten.
Malcolm will forever be my favorite rhythm guitarist and the best of all time and Angus will always be my favorite lead .....
Malcolm was so lovely and articulate. I could listen to him speak all day and night, easy as can be
god bless Malcom ACDC aint ACDC without Malcom
Amen.
How true, He is the Driving force behind the band
He just got passed away that's so sad R.I.P 😭😭😭😰😢😥😔
GOD BLESS MALCOM YOUNG ACDC HE WAS THE BEST ACDC WILL NOT BE WITHOUT MALCOM
That's for sure. Especially with Axl playing with Angus. Makes me sick!
Malcolm is right. Its the feeling. Kids dont understand that now days.
Totally true...way back in the 1954/5 Sun studio sometimes one of the guys would say that they'd hit a bum note in a take and could they do another...Elvis would say, "nah leave it alone the feeling was right..that's what matters"....Sam Phillips was the same...he used to say "The last thing I'm looking for is 'perfection'."
This humble Legend is cruelly missed! His vision of the band had so consistency! Outstanding human being 🤘🏼
"Defend the way I play drums". Phil, IMHO you don't need to defend the way you play drums. You ROCK!
JoeNobody he really does he has the best rhythmI have ever heard

@@eastpross Phil is listed as top 3 rock n roll drummers of all time. Notice I said rock n roll. He's number 1 at ruining his own career. Methhead.
Exactly, he's a smart drummer, plays only what's needed not just randomly play stuff to make himself look good :)

I love the respect Angus and Malcolm have for each other in interviews. Not just brothers but great band mates as well. R.I.P. Malcolm
God bless you and Rest in peace Malcolm
What Malcom said about Rock n roll is so true....
malcolm young's comments about phills drumming was spot on and of course he would know but phill's style also compliments the other musicians.
+malstewa ,I don't think he's talking about Phill's drumming. He's showing the diference between a rock band and a rock n roll band and how the drums sounds in each one.

Gissel Guerra He actually was talking about Phil. Listen till the end of interview, he said other drummers couldn't recreate Phil's feel of swing
Phil Rudd, the best Drummachine in HardRock!
Uwe Reichelt lol no
Malcolm the coolest ever!!!!
I wish Mal did more interviews when he was with us. He gives away why Ac/Dc had/has that special sound that other -70’s bands don’t😭
Malcolm and Angus, two of the hardest working Rockers ever
1:24
Malcolm is still educating me to this day.
Thanks!
God bless Malcolm..RIP Legend.
This was a surprisingly wholesome interview. Loved hearing them talk about these things

Nice complement to Phil Rudd and well deserved. MALCOLM had the ears for RocknRoll. Sorely missed. R.I.P Malcolm
Malcom is the epitome of rock n roll. He just had it flowing right though him
Malcom was a brilliant rhythm guitarist in his own right!
R I P Malcolm Young 1953 to 2017 a legend , let there be rock
RIP Malcolm . Best rhythm guitarist ever & there’s never been a better duo than Angus & Malcolm & there never will be .
Miss you Malcolm, you will always be a true rock LEGEND 🤘
"the simplest of the drumming" such an understatement!
Thank you Malcolm!!! The guitar teacher I never met. I’ve learned so much from all those AC/DC albums. You taught me how important a simple sustained “A” chord can be.
I love Malcolm's passion for the swinging rock and roll groove exemplified by Phil
Notice how it still grooves even when Mals trying to play a ”stiff” beat.
Brother has the groove in his soul, some would say.
Phil Rudd 🥁 still one of the all time greats who continues to inspire .. Malcolm (RIP) deserved a state funeral 🇦🇺 for what he did for music 🎶 will be missed but his music will live on forever
RIP Mal and thank you
thanx for saving my life RIP master
Bon and Malcolm together up there rocking ACDC. Classic guys. Tks for the fantastic music over the many many years fellas.
Malcolm knew his craft intensely. His reasoning for people coming back to see them, reigns true in my world. First saw them in 79, with Nugent and went on to see them 47 more times up to 2008. Ya never knew what was gonna happen on the stage, in the parking lot, in some local alley, bar, etc. AC/DC brought magic and mischief to town, each visit. Saw most of my shows in NYC,NJ,MA,MA and PA. Each tour, I go to ever local arena to see them. At least in the greater metropolitan area. Me and my buddies would party hardy before all shows and go and rock out and get some vented aggression out by air guitaring through the shows, LOL. It was the best vibe ever, for a rock and roll show. We came in legions to see them. Me and my buddies even made a "BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SUCKS" banner which we brought to many NYC/NJ shows. People used to cheer at us, LOLOLOL. Man, those were the days.
Phil Rudd ! You Rock ! AC/DC ain't AC/DC without you. Glad you are back. Your new Album made 2020 something special, a light at the end of the tunnel while we still walk through this global disaster. Malcolm R.I.P.
RIP Malcom. We appreciate all the great music!! Don't rock em' too hard in heaven now.
Most bands have to change and evolve to stay around a long time but not ac/dc they stayed the same and it worked...
Tom Petty also described Rock N Roll the same way "there's a Swing in the roll" and here is Mal saying the same about the swing in the Rock N Roll. Love it.

I wish we had more interviews with just Malcolm. I'd love to hear more of his philosophy and ideas.
Heartbreaking for Malcom and the Young Family..
I currently play lead for a band, but I’ve always felt that I gravitate more towards that same similar rhythm style that Malcolm does rather than Angus. Its awesome to just hook into that riff, beat those poor strings to death and have fun with it, keep it sounding nice and solid. Like you can have fun and not have to worry about hitting a wrong note or messing up in a solo
How strange. I was watching this video this morning, this a few hours later I learn the sad news of Malcolm Young.
What Malcolm says is absolutely right. Both the Stones and ACDC, although different in sound and attitude, are deeply rooted in 50's rock 'n roll. Especially the Chicago-type of rock 'n roll echoes in their music. You can tell by his live show and his licks how big a Chuck-Berry-disciple Angus is. Same goes for Keith.
Damn I love Malcolm so much
This is hands down one of the best AC/DC interviews I have ever seen.
Too short though.
Alot of Malcolm showing why he was one of the most important parts of the band.
All the guys really don't like talking about themselves so this was a nice break from that.
It helped that the band had a killer rhythm guitarist like Malcolm. All are talented, but he was a machine.
One of the things I love about AC/DC is how- as they all say here- they’ve just been who they are for 45 years. They’re a great example of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” If they need a new singer, drummer, guitarist just do what you have to do and carry on.
