yeah. I honestly think this is spot on. Malcolm is the greatest rock and roller the world has ever known. In some rocking less is more way..I really believe that.
@@organiccountrylifeswing is when two quavers (eighth notes) are played as a crochet (quater note) followed by a quaver in a triplet pattern. This means that you play one note, wait a bit longer that what is written which will be straight, and then play the second note shorter. So you get a slightly longer note followed by a shorter note, Phil is a master at this on the drums. Hope that helps
The way he spoke about his brother, Angus.. brought me to tears. It's late 2024, and Mals got it right on the money. We HAVE been seeing the greatest guitar player out there, witnessing greatness. Rest in peace, Malcolm. In all reality, it was Mal was the bedrock of AC/DC. He showed how selfless and humble he was by not including himself. Both brothers are considered legends.
I love Malcolm and miss him like he was a family member. He's the GOAT of rhythm guitar and the most selfless great man and much love to anyone here also in admiration.
I truly agree. Malcolm Young was/is so underrated. Many see him as the rhythm guitarist for AC/DC but he was so much more that that. He was THE sound of AC/DC, the unsung musical genius behind it all. RIP Malcolm 💕
I love when Angus was interviewed and asked how he felt about being the best guitarist in the world… & his response instantly was “I’m not even the greatest guitarist in our band!” Talking about his brother 😢❤ two of the greatest ever!
Yes. I believe that. Shows how they admire each other and are humble. Malcolm was the lead guitarist in bands before ACDC. He taught Angus a lot. Eddie Van Halen was close with Mal, and said Mal was a great lead guitarist. They used to jam together often and were quite close. Guitarist praise coming from Eddie was very rare. In addition, Mal was not close mates with many.
I always back to this video to remember how much I love AC/DC, not just for the music.. I love how much Malcolm admires and carry his brother from the beggining, to the end of his days. Malcolm was the real brain in the band, a real leader, the most of the times in the shadows at the stage supporting his young brother, and always carrying his back. It brakes my heart when I think how much Angus should miss him. The most beautiful brotherhood in a Rock and Roll band.
Angus would clearly knows malcolm capability in marketing line for not hesitating to fire band manager which angus would think twice to do such unlikely task for average people
This is the most important AC/DC interview imo, not least because the founder and most key member of the band explains in black and white the difference between Rock and Rock N Roll...what the band is all about and the reason their sound is instantly recognisable. You also get to see first hand the value of the playing style/relationship between the brothers.
Malcolm Young was/is so underrated. Many see him as the rhythm guitarist for AC/DC but he was so much more that that. He was THE sound of AC/DC, the unsung musical genius behind it all. RIP Malcolm 💕
The way he speaks about Angus, being a hot player, saying that people don't really get him or his playing... I mean, Malcolm was THE MAN. Such a tinny fella, delivering TONS of rock...!!
Have a listen to Malcolm's lead guitar playing on songs like "Show Business" and "Soul Stripper". He was just as good, if not better, than Angus. But both incredible.
@@toolbox5226 he knew how good he was, there`s no doubt but the thing about the guys from the band, they never bragged or showed off. They all keep it to themselves
Didn't know Malcom personally but I shed a tear privately when he passed. What he contributed to this band was just incredble. Happy to lay the foundation for Angus' flair.
Malcolm praising Angus is awesome and needs to be said. We often hear interviews from Angus on how great Malcolm is (and he is) but he's super humble about his own playing. Malcolm is right. Angus has yet to get his just dues as a player. He gets it as a preformer and I think his showmanship often overshadows how great he is and what's coming out of that guitar. To me, Angus is like a SRV, only instead of the blues it's rock n roll. He has the same type of improvising skills where it's as if he's an open vessel and has the ability to tap into a current that very few people reach and it comes out of him naturally. Angus was a prodigy. His vibrato and choice of notes is unmatched. I find him better and way more enjoyable than these technical nonsense shredders. Just listen to Bad Boy Boogie from If You Want Blood. His vibrato and the way he controls the feedback is hauntingly jarring. Even a guy like EVH says one of his favorite albums is Powerage. Angus's solos fit the song like a glove. It weaves naturally into the song and is just another part of it. It never feels separate from the music. The chemistry between Mal and Angus is unmatched. I personally think AC/DC perfected what rock n roll is and took it to it's limits. You can't go harder than AC/DC and still remain a rock band. They're more aggressive than most metal bands. That's why they share a gigantic fan base across the board. AC/DC are an entity entirely by themselves and respected by almost everyone.
Since I first discovered this band, Malcolm always fascinated me. and as I grew to love them, I realized how right I was to love him. listening to him talk about Angus, and how people will one day see how good he really is, just makes me think, and feel bad, that so many are doing that with HIM now, since he passed everywhere you see credits and praise to him, for his spectacular, one-of-a-kind musicianship and sheer genius. He would've never thought HE would be the one getting seen for what he really is Rock In Peace, Mal! Thank-you!
malcolm was and still is my favorite rhythm guitarist of all time ,simple riffs ,but somehow no one can reproduce the exact same sound he had ,and just gotta respect the fact the he also stuck to it no matter how music had evolved over the years ,he stayed true to what he loved so much till the very end ,the guy is legend ,RIP Mal \m/
Right..AC/DC is a band that I would.knoe right away even if the song didn't have vocals and I never heard it before. Nobody has their sound and groove..Songs like D.T.and Chase the Ace are instantly recognizable as AC/DC. It was the Young brothers creation. Malcolm and Angus are the greatest rock guitar duo in the history of the genre. I like how they say that there really are only two giant rock n roll bands today. AC/DC and The Stones, and AC/DC bring something else entirely.
To hear them talk with such honesty in a totally relaxed way... Only cements the idea that with their careers they are truly masters of their art.... No flashy gimmicks, no heirs or graces just rock n roll music for rock n roll fans... RIP Bon and Malcom you are so missed ❤🤘
That must be the best ac/dc interview I've ever seen. Hearing the boss, Malcolm, explaining all these things... amazing. And when he explains the difference between rock bands and rock and roll bands (rollings and them) "playing" the drums... hilarious. It's all about the swing. I'm gonna save this video, it's history.
God Bless Beautiful Malcolm Young The Worlds Number 1 Rhythm Guitarist ever ever ever ever Always so polite, a kind man, a true gentleman, ai would love to hear and see all the AC/DC stories I’m sure they’re all fabulous and no doubt some a little naughty 😂 Thank you Angel xxxx ❤🎸🔊🕯️ Yourself and Bon are very much missed xxxx God Bless Rest in Paradise 🕊️🕊️ 🙏🏻🙏🏻 🇦🇺🏴💖🏴🇦🇺
Malcolm was to AC/DC what Steve Harris is to Maiden. It's their vision and expectations of the guys around them that makes these bands great. They lead by example.
That is so cool! I have seen them now on their pwr up tour, but I wish I could have seen them with Bon, or the back in black line up. But I was born 2006, so that would not be possible😢 They were still good and the new guys did very well, but I still wish that at least Phil would have been there
Phil Rudd has no need to ‘ defend ‘ the way he plays. But, as a real musician, he’s well aware of what he wants to hear, and that no one else can or does.
Malcolm young is the rhythm master, he makes his gretsch produce the most heavenly tone, makes it look easy but it sure as hell ain't, rest in peace malcolm young, your a absolute legend
He's so right. It's the 'swing' that they have that sets them apart from other rock and metal bands. Malcolm' rhythm guitar was the backbone and glue that held it all together.
As Malcolm said it's about feel and groove. Bon was a never be equalled lyricist, singer and front man. Malcolm was the best Rhythm Guitarist ever in Rock. Phil Rudd just had the ultimate feel on drums, can't be replaced. Angus is a bloody legend on Guitar. And Brian came at the right time and also brilliant. Let's not forget Cliff Williams. Thank you Mal for all the music..❤
The more I listen to AC/DC, the more I appreciate how hard they are to emulate. They play simple songs with the most expert execution. You can’t copy Phil Rudd’s groove!
Malcolm laid down that solid bedrock to the soundtrack of our lives. It's A Long Way To The Top could easily be Australia's official national anthem! 👍
It’s so great when these great bands are able to leave their mark on RR, like they just get it and to hear them talk about how they get it , just so cool 😎
When Mal died I felt and had tears in my eyes feeling like I lost a family member…. Which in fact was the case, because I grew up with them, learned to play thanks to them, trying to live my life through Bon’s lyrics etc….
Malcolm Young is a legend of rhythm guitar ......the frankensteined Guitar (he took 1 part out the electric receivers) Made the guitar sound special ! He was perfect with Angus.
Phil Rudd “Technically, I’ve got a few problems as a drummer, but when it gets going…”. Absolutely incredible. The guy is an absolute monster and a time keeping machine. Talk about self deprecation.
One true emotion that comes through with all the ac/dc interviews is the commitment to keeping their sound real and unique. I love that about them. I play along to Malcs rythm guitar, it sounds easy, but he put a lot of effort into their tunes. It freed Angus up to strut his stuff. I miss Malc. Very sad that he ended up like he did. But I do admire the band for carrying on his legacy, he definitely would appreciate that. Rock in Peace Malcom. X
Angus speaks like me. Knows what he’s talking about in his field and so do I in mine. I’m pretty good in my field, Angus probably better in his field than I am in mine. But Malcolm. He speaks with a rare authority. You look at his eyes. I have worked with one guy like that. Next level that hard work can’t get you to. That is a born talent, killer intellect and head of the gang unchallenged. What a master.
He was not just a great rhythm guitarist, but also an incredible lead guitarist. Listen to his lead playing on songs like "Show Business" and "Soul Stripper". I think he just preferred being in the background doing his riffing. He played lead on four songs on the first album, "High Voltage" (Australian version). I prefer his style a little more than Angus, though I love Angus as well.
Mal was a much smarter guy than many people gave him credit for. He certainly had a razor-sharp vision for AC/DC from the start, and it worked like a charm. Angus and Mal together were the no-bullshit team that made AC/DC the global success it became. Of course, having Bon out the front was an Ace up the sleeve- but I think there was a lot more to their steady rise to fame and fortune than dumb luck alone. No-one gets to the top and stays there without having a brain in their head! RIP Malcolm- leader of one of the very best rock bands that ever existed. "-)
Us fans know how smart Malcolm was. While Angus (and Bon at the time) may be the face of the band and the main attraction, it was established that Malcolm was the brains behind the band. He came up with most of the riffs. He was the silent leader.
Regardless of whether you believe Angus or Malcolm is the better guitarist how many bands could boast two absolute monster talents like these guys in the same band?
God I wish that was me talking to Malcolm Young. I would have been tongue tied but I would have filmed it for your entertainment. This one was bloody excellent!
"It don't mean a thing If it ain't got that swing" Malcom nailed it. Malcolm was the heartbeat of AC/DC. Angus is the soul. Bon and Brian were/are the breath Phil was the body. The heartbeat is the most important thing. The body cannot live without it... (no hating on Phil, but he followed Malcolm, where most bands everyone follows the drummer, AC/DC everyone followed Malcolm.) He will never be forgotten. AC/DC was Malcolm's band.
Rip my brother in hard real rock.. Society will never have another era of music like we had when Malcom was doing it with his brother and bon. Brian did great for three albums.. Rock n roll singing kills the pipes ask Ann Wilson. Man we were lucky to be alive for the 60's to the 90's. Everything repeats now.. Not a bad thing we have some killer bands out there but the record companies died because bands got sick of being fucked over
You are greatly missed Mal, greatest rhythm guitarist of all time…rest easy sir
How calm /peace/ humble personality malcolm always is.
yeah. I honestly think this is spot on. Malcolm is the greatest rock and roller the world has ever known. In some rocking less is more way..I really believe that.
John Lennon was best rhythm guitarist
@@glennstockley2197 😂
The best Rhythm Guitarist in history.
Amen.
Fuck yeah!
Thank you for come to my memory you will stay on my deep heart forever Malcolm
All hail to malcolm 🔥
Have you ever heard of Pete Townsend????????????
"Rock-n-Roll has a swing." Truer words have never been spoken. ACDC Rules! RIP Malcolm Young!
Can you help explain to me what me means by that, I'm having a hard time understanding😂

I truly agree. Malcolm Young was/is so underrated. Many see him as the rhythm guitarist for AC/DC but he was so much more that that. He was THE sound of AC/DC, the unsung musical genius behind it all.

Angus is a great guitarist, the charisma and face of AC/DC but Malcolm is the sound, he's the guy that gets us all moving our feet
The back bone of that band.

The best way to appreciate it is to listen to the live shows without Mal and without Phil. Totally different sound. I prefer the original dudes!
I also love to hear Mal singing the backup vocals like in Jailbreak
Yes! Mal had a great gravelly voice. Sounds like a mini pit bull.
One of my favorite rhythm guitarists. Humble and knows exactly when where and what to play.
The way he speaks about Angus, being a hot player, saying that people don't really get him or his playing... I mean, Malcolm was THE MAN. Such a tinny fella, delivering TONS of rock...!!

The end of its a long way to the top. The way he changes the riff. Serious musician Malcolm Serious @@NorsePJ
*tiny. Malcom certainly wasn’t “tinny” … 😂
Angus and Malcolm were telepathic, some of the best riffs in rock,
Malcolm had SOUL!!! Miss him terribly.

Thank God for this clip they never talk about each other like this, so much honestly there and the true eloquence of Malcom.
A true guitar legend, a true blue Aussie AND a true Scotsman. Thankyou for changing music Malcolm
I love Malcolm's voice
What a gentle soul, eh.
RIP Malcolm!
The best interview of Malcolm young, what a great man he was!!
These guys were a frickin machine
No one will ever come close to Mal, Phil and Cliff
God, I love listening to these guys talk.
Such a talent so rare that he had the most humble nature

Mal where do we start, born in Scotland and landed in Aussie, The best thing an Aussie could hear
Malcolm and Bon having a drink and making music right now
A monumental thanks to Malcolm and the rest of the band for all the great rock’n’roll I have the pleasure of listening to.
Since I first discovered this band, Malcolm always fascinated me. and as I grew to love them, I realized how right I was to love him.

How respected and cool personality malcolm is...
Angus and Malcom are one of my all time favorite guitar Duo's!
"but there's no Rock n' Roll bands.....just the Stones and us." Wow, so true
I still think Joan Jett is rock n roll.
Malcolm your in heaven watching over me and the rest of the fans
RIP Mal, such a sweet, talented, underrated dude.
Such modest lovely guys.
Such a great guy & musician
You are deeply missed Malcolm :(
Businessman, songwriter, guitar player. Very smart and driven person. He was the engine to the band.
Yup. One of the hardest working artists in the rock n roll music business.
The three Young brothers are owed a lot by Australian music especially, plus world-wide applause 👏👏👏
"the three"
what a great comment
I'm a big George fan, and love seeing others recognize him as well

Beautiful interview clips
Malcolm we do know how good You, Angus, Phil, Brian, Bon and Cliff are...got the albums to prove it. Miss ya!
Also Mark Evans
Saw them in 76 before they were really famous brilliant then and brilliant now
That is so cool! I have seen them now on their pwr up tour, but I wish I could have seen them with Bon, or the back in black line up. But I was born 2006, so that would not be possible😢 They were still good and the new guys did very well, but I still wish that at least Phil would have been there

We are lucky that he made decision to invite angus to form band.. If not for malcolm then no thunderstruck
He's so right. It's the 'swing' that they have that sets them apart from other rock and metal bands.

AC/DC's true leader and driving force. Diagnosed with dementia in 2014, dead three years later. A legend.
They were awesome, love the pure rock they provided
Malcolm is a very articulate guy, he and Angus.
They're so much smarter than people think. They remind me of Lars Ulrich, always playing down their brains.
So humble.
The more I listen to AC/DC, the more I appreciate how hard they are to emulate. They play simple songs with the most expert execution. You can’t copy Phil Rudd’s groove!
NOPE! And it just flows naturally from him
Malcolm was absolutely amazing.
I learnt more off Malcolm about music in this amazing interview than I have listening to hundreds of others blab on about nothing.
Proper rock and roll geezers
AC/DC, the best rockn'roll band ever!!
im in my 50s i still miss him he taught me how to play guitar...my guitar is my only friend
Love you Malcolm .
I’m here in 2023. Hoping for one more tour. Im praying 🙏
Malcolm laid down that solid bedrock to the soundtrack of our lives. It's A Long Way To The Top could easily be Australia's official national anthem! 👍
Such a loss. Rest In Peace Mal xx
,,its a feeling'' yes so true..thank you Mal.
Listed to songs woth just Malcolm playing. He's such a good player.
One day I think has come dude for all of you . Legends in Rock !
Mal, Angus freaking legends, but Rudd is really the groove in that band!
"Cleverness" Still had a Scottish lilt to the odd word. "Brilliant" Plus his explanation of rock/rock n roll/heavy metal is Spot on.
It’s so great when these great bands are able to leave their mark on RR, like they just get it and to hear them talk about how they get it , just so cool 😎
Malcom, the ACDC main spar . ACDC forever !!
When Mal died I felt and had tears in my eyes feeling like I lost a family member…. Which in fact was the case, because I grew up with them, learned to play thanks to them, trying to live my life through Bon’s lyrics etc….

one problem with your comment"
there wasn't acknowledgement of Cliff
We can't forget him!
malcolm so humble good guy RIP
Rip my brother in hard real rock..
Society will never have another era of music like we had when Malcom was doing it with his brother and bon.
Brian did great for three albums..
Rock n roll singing kills the pipes ask Ann Wilson.
Man we were lucky to be alive for the 60's to the 90's.
Everything repeats now.. Not a bad thing we have some killer bands out there but the record companies died because bands got sick of being fucked over
Its still a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll.
