    Malcom was so underrated... his rhythms were genius.... and AC/DC would not have the sound they have without it... RIP Malcom.... My second concert ever was the Back In Black tour... my first was Heaven and Hell Black and Blue Tour... it was a great year for concerts

      When I first got into AC/DC I thought it was Angus whose sound moved the very atoms of my existence. But then I found out it was Malcolm and his riffs and his sound, and I've been chasing those for years. If we're in a guitar shop and you want to earn my immediate respect (which, I don't really know why anyone would, but still, let's just say...), play Jailbreak. Or Rock 'N' Roll Singer. Or TNT. Or Dirty Deeds. Or anything, really. I always hear people trying to shred, but that's not impressive to me. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Angus, but Mal wrote all the riffs, and it's the riffs that always hook me.

    I know this video is 2 years old but i wanna say yes you can get close to ACDC sound but the way angus and Malcolm played together it was just pure magic and that will never ever be replicated even the sound they have can never be done exactly the same i love ACDC

  • @jimgraves4197
    @jimgraves4197 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    AC/DC have the tightest rhythmn section in Rock. Stevie Young filled in for Malcolm so many times in the past that you are hard pressed to tell the difference. It's total telepathy between them all that gives Angus and Brian the space to give their all night after night. When the tour happens, it will be a much needed party for everyone to get rid of the 'Rona Blues.

    Step 1 to sounding like AC/DC: Turn the gain down and the volume up. Malcolm's tone, in particular, had _very_ little gain-- but even Angus' doesn't have nearly as much as you might think. You just want it slightly crunchy, not fully distorted.

    I had the monsters of rock vhs tape, got it in 1991 or early 92, at the age of 9 or 10. I skipped all the other bands and just watched AC/DC over and over again. I started playing guitar because of angus, and to this day,my absolute favourite guitar is the SG.
