Very proud to say I met and hung out with Malcolm. Offered him a Marlboro, sat on a couch backstage and talked to him for 25 min. This was in 86’. And YES I do brag about it……it was Malcolm F’n Young.⚡️
The way he plays is unexplainable really. In almost every song he will play bits slightly different and most of the time you never even notice. Really listen to the isolated tracks and you can hear his magic.
@@Perko1775 Exactly. That rhythm pattern in the beginning of Thunderstruck showcases what Malcolm is about. He and his brother always said "the swing" is what makes great rock n roll. Just listen to how powerful that must have sounded with the bass and drums hammering away with him in a raw open setting up-close. Malcolm has this very clean but overdriven sound that feels like a freight train chugging down the tracks. The way he and his brother blend their slightly different parts together is magic. Everything about AC/DC is magic. It all clicked. They knew what they wanted to be and just kept getting better at it. They blazed through the trends playing their hard hitting bluesy rock that got so heavy and aggressive at times that they were as close to being metal without being metal. I mean, Angus went as far as calling Van Halen a pop band, and compared to AC/DC they do sound like it. I could name a lot of bands that claim to be metal and they're nowhere near being as hard and aggressive as AC/DC. They are that one band where classic rock fans and headbangers both gravitate toward. You have Scott Ian and James Hetfield (two of metal's most acclaimed and fierce rhythm players) calling Malcolm the greatest of them all. When I first heard the opening 2 minutes of Thunderstruck as a 12 year old kid back in the day when it came on the radio it felt like someone shot me up with 100cc's of pure adrenaline. 30 years later I still get that same feeling.
I'm not a "tone is in the fingers" guy but the way Malcolm hits the strings is incredibly fun to listen to. I don't even like ACDC but I could listen to Malcolm's isolated tracks forever
The best rhythm guitarist ever period. And a really nice guy. I actually got to meet him, Angus the night before they played in Gothenburg in 2001 during the SUL tour. We stayed at the same hotel and even though they were on their way the took time to shake hand and take a picture, really nice guys all of them
This sounds great!, you can hear the precision,skill and tightness in The Late Malcolm Young’s playing, he was a perfectionist, and it showed in AC/DC’s perfect live performances. R.I.P. Malcolm Young.
Damn this is great. Listen to his guitar ring out with some sympathetic resonance with angus and cliff on that open a chord in the intro before the verse riff starts
Hell ain't a bad place to be? Hell is simply defined as the ABSENSE of God. Think about that for a minute, then realize that everything this man ever did was WITH the presence of God. Once God leaves the building, so does life - HE is the originator of it and it is his solely to give and take away, as He OWNS it. Tragic lie.
WTF are you talking about??! It’s about a crazy girl that puts him through a lot of shit but turns him on as well. Or are you gonna take everything so literally??? Oh yeah God loves this song. He told me so.

Nooo…. You met my favorite guitarist… Was he as kind and happy as everyone say ? ❤
I could listen to isolated Malcolm for hours. What a tone

Holy Grail Tone

Malcolm's timing was just impeccable. He carried the whole band.
And Angus..both are so talented
Phils deep pocket has a lot to do with it too
@@Diesel0807 True… Malcolm, Cliff & Phil were the best rhythm section ever, what a powerhouse… The definition of rock ‘n roll.
AC/DC, especially Malcolm's rhythm parts, is some of the funnest stuff to play on guitar.

Minimalist approach to chordplay and equipment, maximum attention to detail and rhythm. Malcolm was baddass.
🙏👍
Yes!!

R.I.P. Malcolm Young.
That man's timing was pure. The heartbeat of AC/DC.
We need isolated who made who. No one else could run one chord so good..... so long.
Blown away. Who's like malcolm? Nobody.... Pure attitude!
James Hetfield is a damn good rhythm player, also.
His guitar always had a bell timbre to me. Donington is an "untireable" recording, because of these incredible tones.
One of my fav AC/DC tunes. Rock in Peace Malcolm and Bon.
That tone is so fresh sounding, thick and jangly..it really is amazing.
Two words. BEST EVER.
I agree this is awesome! This really shows what Angus has always said that mal was one hell of an guitar player! True it tis!!!
Perfect guitar intonation.
His rhythm guitar defined the sound of the whole band.
The greatest rock n roll rhythm guitar player of all time
Masterpiece
RIP BON and MALCOLM
Bloody awesome. Keep up the good work champ
Timing, precision, feeling. Perfect
Hes imortal.
The soul of rock n roll 😢
These videos are so good, no other guitar player even compares in sound! Thx, keep it up!
I ALWAYS KNEW MALCOLM WAS FILLING IN WITH A PEDAL NOTE BETWEEN THE CHORDS AND DOUBLE STOPS!
THE quintessential crunch tone.
its heavenly :D,,,, gorgeous guitar sound
Dude!...thank you for doing this! Please keep these coming and try to do others from Krone Circus, Live at River Plate, etc... you are awesome!!!!
Malcolms part in Thats the Way I Wanna Rock n Roll is epic, can you isolate that one next?

Brilliant love this 🤙🤙
Thanks again. This is helping a lot. Keep on going. Let there be rock. :)
Damn this is great. Listen to his guitar ring out with some sympathetic resonance with angus and cliff on that open a chord in the intro before the verse riff starts
