Interview Malcolm Young (AC/DC). Bon is like the Scottish poet Robbie Burns. And about Brian Johnson: a lesser man wouldn't be around. (Lola da Musica, 2001)
@@viennapalace bon you mean? Yea there's no doubt about it, just people always think he was the original singer, definitely a better step up from Evans for sure, Evans was more suited to glam rock
@@rutgersplague4595 I was actually talking about Evans. I saw him about 10 years ago & he sounded pretty darn good & completely owned the stage. It was quite an eye opener. Totally agree with the glam-rock comment but if ever you get a chance to see Evans live, take it. He still rocks! Personally, I think Stevie Wright would have been the perfect fit for AC/DC but that's another story... ;)
@@viennapalace the only thing that bothers me about him is though at times he's claimed acdcs success is down to him, and he still sings songs that he never sang with the band, he's riding on their success
Bon was an amazing lyricist, songwriter along with the Young brothers... I think everyone who appreciates AC/DC From their beginnings until this day will agree... They couldn't choose better than Brian to take the band into a new era and have the vocal tools to give some of their classic songs justice without being a Bon imitator... if he had ever tried to copy Bon he wouldn't have the respect we have given to the man since he joined.. In Brian's own words 'I could never replace Bon I was asked to join the band because Bon could not be there anymore except in spirit'
I have so much respect for Malcolm, Way more than any athlete, business man Anyone supposedly deemed as a professional, He did what he loved and lived it to the total extreme, period!!!!
I'm an old man in the autumn of life...an AC/DC addict from the mid 70s...Bon Scott was a legendary front man that like Malcolm will live in my heart forever...are they the best ever?...that's covering a lot of musicians over a great legenth of time..they are definitely number one in my book...i've have the chance to meet Brian...he's a guest man..exciting entertainer a blast to be around and a real class act..I'm just thankful for all of the smiles they gave me...
My real father, rest in peace, he got to be part of the road crew a couple of times when Bon was alive and when Brian came into the scene . he was one of the very few Americans that was there when Bon Scott was alive. I wish my dad was still here to tell the story . Unfortunately he’s not I don’t know the whole story ? I just know he was part of the road crew a few times before our house burnt ? He handed me a guitar pick Angus used to this very day I still have it. It was with me thankfully when we got the call our house was on fire
My favorite lead singer of all time Bon was!! He was A candle in the wind. Brian you had big shoes to fill. Well done brother! Rip Malcolm hope to see you all again in rock & roll heaven!
They _could_ have done better. Brian is a one trick pony. He ruins at least 50% of their live shows by not reaching those (way too) high notes live. I think Malcom and Angus just wanted to not get into the sadness losing Bon Scott so they hired the first and best singer, which turned out to be Brian. Being a trooper and loyal doesn`t mean you`re talented.
Brian was the perfect guy to take over. I think almost no other band has or could have survived the loss of their lead singer (and such a huge personality) as Bon and been able to carry on so successfully. Brian was distinct from Bon but totally fit the band so perfectly.
@@eltoro969Gotta disagree. He was the right guy, right fit. The success of a band had a lot to do with personalities fitting together, the chemistry. Brian and guys had that, and that’s why they were so consistently successful. You can’t argue with success and longevity.
No one could possibly have filled in for Bon Scott other than Brian Johnson. He could match Bon's capabilities while still being true to himself. And he fit in so well, you'd think he was with them from the beginning.
Nope. Bon Scott had so much more range and personality in his singing while Brian is just growling out words. Many other singers would have done a much better job in AC/DC but I guess they just wanted to move on fast after Bon died and went for the first guy they liked.
Bon was the stereotypical Rockstar. Lived the life! He became the songs he sang about and sadly lost his life to it. Going to be a rock and roll star. God bless Bon Scott!
There's a quote by Lemmy about being a rock star, he said something like if you're going to be a rockstar then fucking go all out, nobody wants to see a guy next door up there. They want to see an alien or a mythical creature! But somehow Bon managed to be a mythical alien that everyone felt was there buddy. He was like no other before or since.
Bon was gifted in many ways, probably a flawed genius and I’ll always miss him. Brian? There was no one better to pick up Bon’s mic. Malcolm… solid yet understated and wholesome. RIP mate.
Whenever I listen to Powerage I’m always struck by the lyrics and how cleverly they are put together. Listen to Down payment blues. Listen to those lyrics. It’s fuckin brilliant man. Or Gimme a bullet. Or any one of those songs. What a mind for a guy who was knocking back booze like a champ.
Love the way he sings Down Payment Blues, the last time in the song, with such desperation. Agree, all purists reckon Powerage is what peak AC/DC were all about.
You're absolutely correct. But sadly rhythm guitarists generally are under rated. Rick parfitt, Bruce welch, izzy stradlin and James hetfield are more examples.
@@mattbrabham6351 dude this is not about brian it is about 2 ac/dc members who passed they are absolute legends bon and brian are both equally great but without malcoms riffs there would be no highway to hell or back in black!
Brian strived because he has made great music, gives it his all and is one of the most down to earth rock stars since Lemmy. AC/DC with Bon or Brian is the soundtrack of my youth.
Every time I see an interview with him, he just seems like such a down to earth and lovely bloke; never heard a bad word said about him by anyone. RIP Mal.
I like both bands. Respect to Brian for stepping into an enormous set of shoes and succeeding. Bon's era should be referenced in the Oxford dictionary under 'Rock n' Roll'. Epitome.
Like too see the P C crowd deal with Bon Scott's lyrics if they were written today, Girls got rhythm, back seat rhythm, comes to mind, thanks Malcolm for all the good times
I can’t think of anyone else who could step in after Bon’s passing like Brian has. When Bon died, I figured AC/DC wouldn’t be able to go on without him. The first time I heard “Back in Black”, I was floored with Brian’s voice.
I'm a new fan. In my home we only had gospel, country, and pop. Little River Band, Eagles, or Electric Light Orchestra were the rockinest bands I knew. I was at a friends Halloween party in 1980 when Hells Bells came over their radio. I was mesmerized, I felt every note in my soul. I love Bon Scott, but Brian is the front man, not only of AC/DC, but of my love and passion for Hard Rock. Keeping your kids from Hard Rock is child abuse, I can tell you.
Malcolm was so solid and he could swing like a slinky going down a staircase. Heck yeah!!!!! They were lucky to have his playing AND his songwriting. Being on the beat at the right time and off the beat the right time is an art in its self.
The 60s-early 90s was an epic period in rock music and anyone coming up in those times can look back now and see how lucky we were to have experienced it first hand.
You can't argue with success, and his voice was unique. Anyone who sing like him is because they're trying to sing like him. With the possible exception of Dan McCafferty of Nazareth, same raspy, high voice...
I grew up listening to AC-DC, I grew up listening to Bon and remember when back in black came out with Brian Johnson and absolutely loved his style and vocals to, AC-DC will forever be remembered way after we're all long gone and our children will listen to them, their children and on and on. Phenomenal band undoubtedly.
Lets just be glad that someone as good as Brian was chosen to replace Bon. No one is better than Bon, probably in any hard rock band, but Brian is at least one of the all time greats too.
thanx for posting this, you can tell that he is smart, Angus has said Malcolm was a huge part of AC/DCs success on many levels, what a nice person he was. thanx Mal, for all the great tunes you gave us. thanx to all the boys past and present, a rocking band !!!!!
Malcolm was the “brains” as Bon put it. He was the driving force and true leader of AC/DC. Nothing got done without Mal’s approval. You could probably call him the official manager of the band.
Brian so good guy but Bon Scott was one of those freaks of nature in terms of his singing. He had this extra gear he could go up into the stratosphere it was a cross between a scream and a solid rock ‘n’ roll note. Angus comes across as really down to earth guy here, one of the most impressive things about him is that he’s been a teetotaler his whole life. That’s freaking unbelievable given his Temptations.
Talk about a greatness.. Mal was a truly gifted individual. AC/DC will always be my favourite group. I’m a 🇨🇦Canadian🇨🇦 fan still to this day!😎 Thank you so much for the upload! Cheers 🍻

Malcolm is the reason I started playing guitar An older guy at high school said to me if you can get the rhythm of Malcolm you will be able to do anything And he was exactly spot in I love the man for what he did but also what he made others do A true fucking legend R.I.P
Thanks so much for posting this. Its hard to find video or print interviews with Malcolm. Just didn't seem like much of a priority to him. Which is just another reason to love the guy.
@@mikemorrissey7928 I have a feeling he also wrote: I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain I'm comin' on like a hurricane My lighting's flashing across the sky You're only young, but you're gonna die
Yeah, that is so cool! I think that Big Balls, altho it's all a joking type song, is one of his most brilliant lyrical compositions. It never gets old, "Crayfish," that was the perfect hilarious word to say at that moment in the song, all sounds so effortless too but so clever. And then Aint No Fun, jeez, that is a great narrative poem with touches of gritty humor. It's the story of rock and roll. "I left my job in my hometown, and headed for the smoke, got a rock and roll band and a fast right hand, gonna get to the top, nothing's gonna stop us, no nothing....you got the dollar, we got the song, gone boogie-woogie all nite long, yeah boogie." Insane! "Got a mama, who's a hummer, she's keepin me alive.." Hell yeah, rock and roll!
Bon really had a way with words and the chemistry between him and Angus was so fun a playful to watch, may Bon Scott rock in peace. Brian on the other hand is great stadium rocker with the devil in his voice. He's a badass frontman that has given us so many good times, his voice can really make the skin crawl. Highways to Hell, Let there be Rock, Back in Black and now PWR Up are 4 of my favs
My devoutly Catholic grandmother bought Highway to Hell for me on my birthday in 1979. I would have loved to see that when she did. I still think that is one of the greatest albums of all time. And then when Back in Black came out in 1980 and I heard the title track for the first time I was completely blown away. Loved Bon but Brian filled the void like nobody else could.
Brian was a very good replacement. But Bon is simply the greatest front man of all time in the greatest in your face no frills rock n roll band of all.
Bon was 1st he will always be 1st , Brian has kept the band alive abd relevant ever since.... Malcolm Young will go down in history as one of the greatest rhythm rock guitar players that ever graced a 6 string. Rip Bon and Mal.
I like both Bon and Brian, yes, I do prefer Bon's voice but that probably has more to do with my youth growing up in 70's Oz. But without Brian, I don't know if AC/DC would still be about or as popular as they are - great band, whatever the line-up and hats off to Brian, 40 years and counting - I think Malcolm is the one that's hardest to replace, it's all on Angus these days. Great band, keep on Rock'n lads!
I love both singers. But, as Malcolm said, Bon was an excellent lyricists. I think his lyrics are basically those on Back in Black. I would love to hear a tribute band with a singer who imitates Bon, go ahead and do the entire Back in Black album vocals so that we could hear of Bon’s voice would have matched up with those lyrics. Of course Brian sings like a cannon going off so it’s hard to imagine anyone else singing those songs.
So true. Bon was the backbone of all of those great songs before Brian Johnson. He put the rhythm in AC/DC. They were never quite the same after Bon passed and everyone knew it. Bon wrote most of back in black also. Had he lived, AC/DC would of been a bigger legend then they are. RIP Bon
@@RodCorkin Just look at You Shook Me ...and tell me Bon di not write those. That said, Brian's perfomance on B in B was sensational and he's never bettered it.
@@fifthof1795 i don't see any reason why the band would not give credit to bon if he wrote parts of it. Its just an old stupid rumor that ppl still beat to death because they can't stand that acdcs biggest selling album was done with the new guy just after bons passing. I love both singers. Angus addressed this topic directly in an interview not too long ago and explained in detail what happened. They had alot of the music done for it and discussed with one another getting together the next week to go over lyrics and stuff but bon passed before that happened. That has alot to do with why the album came together so quickly alot of the music was done and it just needed lyrics final tweaking and recording. In those days they were coming out with 1 sometimes 2 albums per year so it isn't that unbelievable that they was able to get it done in the time that they did which I think has alot to do with why people can't beleive bon didnt write the stuff. You shook me was the first song Brian wrote with acdc the first line about she was a fast machine she kept her motor clean...brian wrote that because of his love for cars. And has anyone ever thought maybe Brian wrote it in a style that is like what bon would do on purpose to try to fit into the band be just joined? They dedicated the album to bon and gave proceeds to his family to this day from it...which makes the rumor even more stupid in my eyes. If they're already paying money to his family what good would it do them to lie and not give credit to their fallen brother whom they loved? Its just stupid imo. People even say bon wrote the song back in black and that was written about him dedicated to him after his passing. How could that have been wrote by bon? People have been hanging on to that bs for 40 years now its time to let it go. People spread bs around as say it as if its fact that is what causes these ridiculous rumors to start with just like the rumor bon picked his own replacement. He did see Brian perform and raved about him to the band which he never did before or since so it stood out to them and when their producer suggested Brian when they were looking for a new singer they remembered bon Raving about him and the rest is history. So in essence it's as if he picked his own replacement but he didn't literally do that yet everyone is always saying that. Its called people stating things as fact when they in fact DONT know the facts.
@@fifthof1795 ok I looked at it..bon didn't write it. Enough with the 40 year old rumors and wives tales. People just can't accept that their biggest album was done by bons replacement months after his passing. Angus addressed this topic directly not long ago in an interview and shed some light on the details of what happened and it makes perfect since to me. I don't see where they have anything to gain by not giving credit to their fallen beloved brother if he wrote lyrics on the album its just ridiculous. Ecspecially when you consider the fact they dedicated the album to bon and still give proceeds to his family from it to this day. Naysayers will say see they pay his family money that proves bon wrote it no it proves that they are helping his family out because they loved the guy. Why in the hell would they NOT give him credit when they're already paying his family money what would it benefit them by lying about it? It is just utter ridiculous speculation.
No one will replace Bon...and no one has. Brian is his own man and a legend in his own right who will always be loved. He live's in no man's shadow.
Well to be fair bon was a replacement himself, he just was better than dave evans
@@rutgersplague4595 Who, to be fair, is still a pretty good singer & frontman.

I have no idea why anyone would give Brian a hard time. He's been a perfect lead and achieved incredible stuff.
Not to mention he's one of the most affable human beings on the planet.
@@ryanduray1 Yes.Brian is a real stand up guy. Deserves all the success that's came his way.
Brian is great, however my favourite AC/DC song is ‘If you want blood’. Bon was awesome. They’re both awesome.
Bon could scream at me and I could understand every word he was singing. Brian screams at me and I just get noise.
Because Bon was such a hard act to follow. But for me he is just as good👍
R.I.P Malcolm. Never forgotten.
He was a one of a kind guitarist that can never be replaced
Thanks for all the music Malcolm. You made my teenage years special.
Without Malcolm and AC/DC I never would have picked up a guitar and bass.RIP,Malcolm,one of a kind.
Amen.
I've been listening to him since High School, now I'm 61. Music through my lifetime....
I’m 36, saw them in 2000, still one of the absolute best shows I’ve ever seen.
Malcom was ACDC. No one can dispute this. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the last 2 albums. But yeah...Malcom was the nerve center of the band.
R.I.P. Bon Scott and Malcolm Young :(
"I got myself a Cadillac
, but I can't afford the gasoline .." ... RIP Bon and Malcolm, you are pure rock and roll geniuses
I can't afford the down payment. *wink*
Can't even feed my cat living on social security. ( i have 8. ) R.I.P. Bon & Malcolm.
Brian was the best replacement they could have found for bon. Both of them have incredible songs
Feels scary wondering who might be the next to pass away after Malcolm's death.
It was Bon Scott's suggestion to use Brian if anything happened to him.
I agree. It's like, once Brian came along, he took AC/DC to a whole new level
@@ekdog91 yeah he did and they were already the shit before. Greatest rock and roll band ever!
@@Mav_F That whole "Bon said if anything happens to [him] get Brian Johnson" is a myth.
Man I'm loving hearing Malcolm on his own speaking seriously about music.

Angus comes across as really down to earth guy here, one of the most impressive things about him is that he’s been a teetotaler his whole life. That’s freaking unbelievable given his Temptations.
Erm it’s Malcolm
😞 still miss Malcom but so glad for the time we had him
Bonn we will always love you and miss you.💯💯💯💯💯💯
He was badass playing in the wing, you see the energy he was giving the band.
Talk about a greatness..
Mal was a truly gifted individual. AC/DC will always be my favourite group. I’m a 🇨🇦Canadian🇨🇦
fan still to this day!😎
Thank you so much for the upload!
Cheers 🍻

R.I.P Uncle Mal
R.I.P Bon
ROCK IN PEACE ✌
Malcolm is the reason I started playing guitar
An older guy at high school said to me if you can get the rhythm of Malcolm you will be able to do anything
And he was exactly spot in
I love the man for what he did but also what he made others do
A true fucking legend
R.I.P
Still love ýou Mal 💙. RIP MASTER
Thanks Helmut
Kwam voorbij op TH-cam

Waanzinnig goeie music
Gegroet!
R.I.P. Malcolm Young & Bon Scott ❤️🖤❤️
Thanks so much for posting this. Its hard to find video or print interviews with Malcolm. Just didn't seem like much of a priority to him. Which is just another reason to love the guy.
for me Bon will always be the voice of AC/DC.
She had the face of an angel
Smiling with sin
The body of Venus with arms
or better yet, "iv got big balls" lol quality :)
Dealing with danger
Stroking my skin
Like a thunder and lightning storm
@@mikemorrissey7928 I have a feeling he also wrote:
I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain
I'm comin' on like a hurricane
My lighting's flashing across the sky
You're only young, but you're gonna die
Great and generous man,with a heart of pure gold,he will live on forever
Yeah, that is so cool! I think that Big Balls, altho it's all a joking type song, is one of his most brilliant lyrical compositions. It never gets old, "Crayfish," that was the perfect hilarious word to say at that moment in the song, all sounds so effortless too but so clever. And then Aint No Fun, jeez, that is a great narrative poem with touches of gritty humor. It's the story of rock and roll. "I left my job in my hometown, and headed for the smoke, got a rock and roll band and a fast right hand, gonna get to the top, nothing's gonna stop us, no nothing....you got the dollar, we got the song, gone boogie-woogie all nite long, yeah boogie." Insane! "Got a mama, who's a hummer, she's keepin me alive.." Hell yeah, rock and roll!
Bon really had a way with words and the chemistry between him and Angus was so fun a playful to watch, may Bon Scott rock in peace.
Brian on the other hand is great stadium rocker with the devil in his voice. He's a badass frontman that has given us so many good times, his voice can really make the skin crawl. Highways to Hell, Let there be Rock, Back in Black and now PWR Up are 4 of my favs
My devoutly Catholic grandmother bought Highway to Hell for me on my birthday in 1979. I would have loved to see that when she did. I still think that is one of the greatest albums of all time. And then when Back in Black came out in 1980 and I heard the title track for the first time I was completely blown away. Loved Bon but Brian filled the void like nobody else could.
Brian was a very good replacement. But Bon is simply the greatest front man of all time in the greatest in your face no frills rock n roll band of all.
..GOD BLESS YOU MALCOLM..MISSED AND LOVED EVERY SINGLE DAY..🙏❤🙏
Malcolm we love you 💖, you live in my heart, the Best music and perfect voice
Never try to fill anyone’s shoes,
better to go barefoot on your own path.
Old Irish Proverb
Bon was 1st he will always be 1st , Brian has kept the band alive abd relevant ever since....
Malcolm Young will go down in history as one of the greatest rhythm rock guitar players that ever graced a 6 string.
Rip Bon and Mal.
When Malcolm’s first kid was born he was in Leeds queens hall doing a gig Brian announces it 5000 go mental good times god bless 🙏🏻♥️
Acdc was my childhood, and still today at 52, I still crank em up.
Miss ya!!!!!! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
RIP Malcolm Young and Bon Scott ❤️🙏
I like both Bon and Brian, yes, I do prefer Bon's voice but that probably has more to do with my youth growing up in 70's Oz. But without Brian, I don't know if AC/DC would still be about or as popular as they are - great band, whatever the line-up and hats off to Brian, 40 years and counting - I think Malcolm is the one that's hardest to replace, it's all on Angus these days. Great band, keep on Rock'n lads!
What a great interview. Love Bon
Miss Malcolm, I’ll admit it most of my friends were into teeny bopper idols in the 70’s not me give me Malcolm and angus any day they are my crushes
he sounds like his younger brother Angus. Rest in Peace Malcolm
I still have a few of their old lp's on vinyl from when I was a kid!
I miss MALCOLM. Truly the genius behind their success.
МЫ СКУЧАЕМ ПО ТЕБЕ МАЛЬКОЛЬМ(((
It won't go away because Bon was so much better.
I love both singers. But, as Malcolm said, Bon was an excellent lyricists. I think his lyrics are basically those on Back in Black. I would love to hear a tribute band with a singer who imitates Bon, go ahead and do the entire Back in Black album vocals so that we could hear of Bon’s voice would have matched up with those lyrics. Of course Brian sings like a cannon going off so it’s hard to imagine anyone else singing those songs.
How do you find two singers like that? Unbelievable.
Bon loved Show Business!!!
Bon Scott: The greatest rock and roll singer ever.
No, not really
@@bojanglesthewizard8875 He is to him, so yea, really!
@@bojanglesthewizard8875 Yea , nah, yea.
@@da324 exactly, we all have our favs so to us that person is the greatest, no one gets to tell anyone they are wrong :)
So true. Bon was the backbone of all of those great songs before Brian Johnson. He put the rhythm in AC/DC. They were never quite the same after Bon passed and everyone knew it. Bon wrote most of back in black also. Had he lived, AC/DC would of been a bigger legend then they are. RIP Bon
You believe that crap? It was Brian's virtuoso performance on Back in Black that made it the success it was.
@@RodCorkin YES!!
@@RodCorkin Just look at You Shook Me ...and tell me Bon di not write those. That said, Brian's perfomance on B in B was sensational and he's never bettered it.
@@fifthof1795 i don't see any reason why the band would not give credit to bon if he wrote parts of it. Its just an old stupid rumor that ppl still beat to death because they can't stand that acdcs biggest selling album was done with the new guy just after bons passing. I love both singers. Angus addressed this topic directly in an interview not too long ago and explained in detail what happened. They had alot of the music done for it and discussed with one another getting together the next week to go over lyrics and stuff but bon passed before that happened. That has alot to do with why the album came together so quickly alot of the music was done and it just needed lyrics final tweaking and recording. In those days they were coming out with 1 sometimes 2 albums per year so it isn't that unbelievable that they was able to get it done in the time that they did which I think has alot to do with why people can't beleive bon didnt write the stuff. You shook me was the first song Brian wrote with acdc the first line about she was a fast machine she kept her motor clean...brian wrote that because of his love for cars. And has anyone ever thought maybe Brian wrote it in a style that is like what bon would do on purpose to try to fit into the band be just joined? They dedicated the album to bon and gave proceeds to his family to this day from it...which makes the rumor even more stupid in my eyes. If they're already paying money to his family what good would it do them to lie and not give credit to their fallen brother whom they loved? Its just stupid imo. People even say bon wrote the song back in black and that was written about him dedicated to him after his passing. How could that have been wrote by bon? People have been hanging on to that bs for 40 years now its time to let it go. People spread bs around as say it as if its fact that is what causes these ridiculous rumors to start with just like the rumor bon picked his own replacement. He did see Brian perform and raved about him to the band which he never did before or since so it stood out to them and when their producer suggested Brian when they were looking for a new singer they remembered bon Raving about him and the rest is history. So in essence it's as if he picked his own replacement but he didn't literally do that yet everyone is always saying that. Its called people stating things as fact when they in fact DONT know the facts.
@@fifthof1795 ok I looked at it..bon didn't write it. Enough with the 40 year old rumors and wives tales. People just can't accept that their biggest album was done by bons replacement months after his passing. Angus addressed this topic directly not long ago in an interview and shed some light on the details of what happened and it makes perfect since to me. I don't see where they have anything to gain by not giving credit to their fallen beloved brother if he wrote lyrics on the album its just ridiculous. Ecspecially when you consider the fact they dedicated the album to bon and still give proceeds to his family from it to this day. Naysayers will say see they pay his family money that proves bon wrote it no it proves that they are helping his family out because they loved the guy. Why in the hell would they NOT give him credit when they're already paying his family money what would it benefit them by lying about it? It is just utter ridiculous speculation.
