"The real art is making the complex simple". Angus speaks the truth.
Similar to Einstein's quote about "genius"
I think of Nirvana right away.
love him respect him everyone love world
van halen Peterson (20 fingers); young Basie (one finger). Basie and Peterson recorded together though
I tend to try to say something similar to the Jeff Beck / Dream Theater guitarists who will always take the high ground when I mention AC/DC. Though most of the time I just confront them with "Oh, you can play AC/DC like Malcolm?" which always works - they don't want to claim that while there's a playable guitar in the room :P
I wish Brian would call me "me son". I'd flip out haha
He did it to me 😉
Come to Newcastle, you’d never leave haha
Very funny...me son, meself lol
Right?? 😆
Alreet me son! I’d say but obviously me Geordie accent doesn’t come through text
These guys saved 2020 from being a total waste. LOVE them!
we definitely deserved to get something back
1000% saved me from JUMPING!! 😂
So true man..well said.
The album sounds like Malcolm is here in sprit
You can tell Angus really holds Malcolm in very high esteem. He never wastes any time telling people how smart Malcolm was as the leader of the band. The fact Angus still talks to Mal and George in his head (metaphorically speaking) is just super powerful to me. It shows how influential Malcolm Young truly was as a musician, he really was the creative impetus behind AC/DC, and Angus just wants to keep the band going and try and keep it up to his brother’s standards, and I find that extremely admirable. Cheers Angus 🍻
I agree with you, I read an interview with Angus many years ago and part of it included questions sent in by readers. Somebody had asked "What does it feel like when people say you are the best guitarist in the world?" Angus laughed and said, "ha, I'm not even the best guitarist in ACDC! Genuinely humble and respectful of his brother.
listen before saying anything
@@andypammenter8528 Lennon went there first about Ringo.
Brian said when Rock or Bust came out the last time he saw Malcolm he told Brian and Angus keep the band going keep playing. The back of that album had the two guitars together and it said for Mail. I think Angus feels he let Malcolm down with the way the tour ended and even began with Phil. But also songs were not that good. So I think he felt he needed to do a little better. Malcolm was in charge and always last word. He was the brains of the band. Great interview by 60 minutes that Angus and Brian really got emotional
I think Brian needs more credit for stepping into Bons shoes and for his vocals alone.
I would love to see a documentary about Malcolm Young.
The "audio dude" who helped B.J with his hearing needs a big thanks from the fans, without him there would be no PWR⚡️UP.
Too true!
The "audio dude" is my cousin. You'll be hearing more about his technology as will other musicians in need.
@@christopherduey5016 : Thats great, could you pass on my thanks to him and wish him all the best, AC⚡️DC has been a huge part of my life for the last 40 years and they have got me through some of the hardest times 👍🏼
@@christopherduey5016 Canadians Rock!!
This is my only caveat on this interview, I do wish Brian had mentioned his name. I can't right now even remember it (my bad) but I read an interview just a few days ago where said gentleman was exceedingly gracious in his comments regarding BJ and the way he shared it around with/promoted it to other prominent (and aging) musicians so I'll give him a pass on this little oversight 😉🤘
I have massive respect for Brian coming back after such a sour situation with his hearing. Class act number one. No human like him.
He said the experimental treatment to correct his hearing looked like a battery out of 1 of his Hot Rods in the Garage HA!!
Ha
Yes. He’s a wonderful, awesome humanbeing
@@melaniehawkins5721 haha that’s brilliant 😆
Oh Angus 😭 when you talk about Malcolm
an old shirt you never throw away.. when you can afford a new one..... I love how a man like Angus who has a good amount of savings no doubt but knows a comfy chair when he sits in one even tho it is falling apart at the seams... awesome.
I died when he said "the crowd is having such a massive party before the show that we just go on and spoil it".
Also I love how cool they are talking about Malcolm. They're not super emotional they just talk about how good he was and the memories they had with him.
ACDC will always be Malcom Young's band. Not many people know what an accomplished Jazz guitarist he was. As a rhythm player he could solo the house down, but as band leader, the rhythm section was too important. RIP Malcom, what a massive contribution to art.
Nailed it Bro..
God I love their accents, especially Brian’s. The music is one thing but Brian’s Geordie accent is like honey and gunpowder.
Geordie is actually a dialect from Brian’s hometown of Newcastle in Northern England. It is also the name of the band he was in prior to joining AC/DC.
I could listen to Angus and Brian talk all night.
Angus is a living legend.
This is the most I've heard Angus talk x100. I mean usually it's just a little joke or something. Man, this was amazing.
“If it doesn’t swing, It doesn’t mean a thing.” Brian Johnson AC⚡️DC swings, and that is what makes us love them, and their music!
brian is sitting there lisening to angus and smiling at angus,s memories. what a fantastic bloke brian is. bon scott was good but i think brian made what acdc is today
At first I wanted to do some real horrible name calling in regards to your comment. Phil! Are you crazy!? I love Brian Johnson too but saying "Bon was good"? Bon was good!? Brian might have made AC DC what they are today but what they are today isn't 100th of what they were in 1974. Phil please go back and take a hard listen to AC DC from 74-79. You don't have to apologize but please think more before you say crazy stuff.
@@thomas.bobby.g2918 there's absolutely NOTHING wrong saying that Bon was good. Some people think he was good, some think he was amazing, whatever. No one said he was bad lmao chill out
I'm sure Malcolm is smiling down and very proud of his little brother and the band! Rock on guy's your the best!
"Making the complex simple" That is so Phil Rudd. Such an amazing drummer.
Chuck Wagon ,Phil is so deep in the pocket,my wallet is missing!
27:44 Angus (speaking about Axl's broken foot)- "... he borrowed a chair"... HAHA!! Classic! Typical Angus Understatement!
For anyone unaware what Angus is referring to- Axl had a broken foot while touring with both GNR and AC/DC, so he borrowed Dave Grohl's 'rock throne' (a cool stage seat, with guitar necks and lights etc). It was constructed when Dave broke his leg and had to tour with Foo Fighters.
Angus cracks me up. What a legend.
Love these two. Not an ounce of ego, humble lads. Brian hasn't changed much at 73. Angus has aged a bit, looking his age finally. Don't know where they get the energy at that age. Good on them.
These men have so much respect for one another that's why they are so successful good for them!
Gotta say I’ve never seen angus or Bryan open up this much in an interview
If you haven't yet, listen to their interview on "Let There Be Talk with Dean Delray", it is an hour podcast and is a really good show from someone who really truly knows and loves AC/DC
@@HEAVYISPY thanks for the recommendation
@@HEAVYISPY i watched that as soon as bill burr told me too lol
Out of ALL the bands over the years; I can truly say AC/DC is the rock n roll you can turn to and never be let down. It's like an old friend that you trust.
Where would we be without this band? (you might ask)
In an ugly, sh*tty world- without a friend.
There's only one AC/DC.
AC/DC to me will always be the greatest “working man’s” rock n roll band of all time.
AC/DC is responsible for pitching in, considerably, to a lot of memories that still make millions of people smile.....what an accomplishment, in of itself.
Kudos to the interviewer, who evinces a respect for and knowledge of AC/DC.
The interviewer looks so "Apple", like a model dressed in the image of Steve Jobs. I was expecting the interview to be much worse.
Zane Lowe is the best music interviewer hands down. He’s interviewed all the greats. Must watch!
Thank you Malcom.
For bringing rock, and the greatest rock and roll band in the world to my heart and soul.
You and ACDC will never be forgotten, and you will live forever in the hearts and souls of millions of people from young to old, until the end of time.
Rest in peace my good friend.
Tony from the Netherlands
The best interview with Angus and Brian. The compassion and humanity in this interview has never happened before with Angus and Brian.
Check out their interview on the let there be talk podcast
Their spot on 60 Minutes (Australia) was pretty awesome too. A lot shorter but man, Angus nearly choked talking about Malcolm, the interviewer teared up and I honestly openly cried. Very emotional to say the least. After nearly 50 years as a band these blokes are finally letting us in and it's beautiful 🙏🤘
Angus and Brian are so down-to-earth guys...I love them since I'm a teenager. Now I'm 50....🙏🤘
My first ever records I bought was AC/DC's High Voltage in when I was in Junior High. Hook Line and Sinker.
Hahaha
It’s like I hear myself talking. I’m 50 too and Angus/ACDC was my inspiration to go and play guitar when I was 17 years old
I first saw them in 79. Been a fan ever since. I was 18
This is the best interview I have ever seen with Angus and ACDC.. Angus really explains well what Malcolm was like, how he encouraged Angus and how Malcolm was the engine of AcDc.. And the brilliant relationship Angus had with his brother, I shed a Tear or two watching this but it's so great to see Brian and Angus back... For those about to Rock 🤘.....
I felt so bad for Angus when he lost both George and Malcolm less than three weeks apart from each other. I was sadder knowing that Malcolm didn't even know George passed away, due to his dementia.
This guy knows how to do an interview....excellent
Zane Lowe is the best interviewer hands down. Watch all of his interviews. So good.
I think he talk way too much. Go watch Rick Beato. He knows how to listen and let the artist talk 👍
They say you shouldnt meet your heroes because they will only dissapoint you. Not these 2. Angus and Brian can only be described as sweethearts. Which is a strange thing to say about a pair of hard rockers. So open and gracious; its impossible not to love these two guys. Great interview by Zane as well, really well done.
Love hearing Angus talk about Malcom. So much respect! ❤️ Brian and Angus both are so down to earth. Great interview!
You nailed it Donna.. THEY are so down-to-earth! Very humble yet both still striving to get even better.. one gets the feeling. In particular. Brian has taken a bit of flak over the years with his unique vocal sound... BUT particularly with Black Ice' and beyond he has blown me away with his sound improvement....
What troopers... both of them.. The way Angus never takes himself too seriously.. you`d never guess he is a guitar virtuoso.
"You can't call an album Rock or Bust and go bust" i cried laughing! This is why they are rock legends ♥️
Angus was getting upset with talking about his brothers! This interview is so wholesome! I love this. AC⚡️DC will always be the best!
AC ⚡ DC don't look for fans n customers , people search n find AC ⚡ DC for great music Rock n Roll ⚡ ❤️❤️🤘😤🤘❤️❤️
I love the fact Angus has always seemed like the driving force in the band, the all powerful and revered rock guitar God yet you come to find out his brothers Malcolm and George really gave him most of his direction and rearing throughout the years. The comment that Malcolm lives up in his head and still talks to him every day after his passing says a lot.
I heard that Malcom is better than angus, but rather seat back and let Angus out front of the show.
So glad Phil Rudd is back with them. There is no one that has his feel on the kit. No one. Period.
TRUE STORY
Phil has the most powerful rock n roll drum groove - tight, simple, powerful, swinging.
I am thrilled that Phil is back where he belongs.
Amen. Watched the whole vh1 concert last night. I was air drumming the whole time. Fukngruven
Totally agree!
Whatever happens, AC/DC are the indelible ink in rock music and culture. Can't be erased, won't go away, here forever.
Blessings.
They got lucky they found Brian Johnson. No other singer would've worked. AC/DC has to have a unique voice, no average rock singer will do. Bon and Brian both have very cool, unique voice
Oh ya plus Brian is a cool dude also.
boy's looking fantastic picture
Angus and Malcom Young playing at a wedding! That must have been the best wedding ever!!!
'When the audience is entertained why change the script'. The simple words of wisdom.
The band are ageing, but the music never gets old. Love you guys, rock on!
Angus... 40 years on ... my favorite . Glad Brian is still on. Great interview. Missing Mal.
You can learn so much from these two gentleman. Humble genius. The band is the opposite of Grand Standing like 99 percent of bands today. Incredible interview. RIP Malcolm
the love and respect by angus when he,s talking about his brother is incredable,malcolm really is angus,s hero
What a Tribute to Big Brother Malcom !
don’t you just wish that Angus had another 50 years I just can’t get enough of ac/dc. may they rock on for many years good luck to them.
Every time I listen new album l like it more and more. Thanks AC/DC for this great new material, it's just AC/DC! MALCOLM is proud of it l bet!
"If it doesn't swing it don't mean a thing..." This right here! This is why Phil Rudd is such an important member of this band. The GROOVE!
Dont ever stop playing music or your heart will stop.
Finally, an interviewer asking great questions!
The thing I love about Brian is that he makes me feel like I've been friends with him for years, even though I haven't met him. I feel like I'm having a conversation with him when I watch stuff like this even though I've never been able to say anything to him. He always puts a smile on my face and makes me happy, ever since I first got into AC/DC before I could walk. thank you Brian. You've inspired me as a 17 year old to pick up my guitar, microphone, drums and bass and give it my best shot to make more rock n roll in the world.
Great interview.... so sad of Mal's passing.... he was the riff master behind acca dacca RIP Mal
God Bless AC/DC...there is a glimmer of light in this Dark Year and that glimmer of light is a kickass album POWER UP..So great that Brian,Phil and Cliff are back in the fold.. Malcolm would be so proud and Brian's voice sounds incredible you would never imagine that he is 73 years old.
The most intelligent and heartfelt interview done with Angus and Brian. The telecon format seem to find them more relaxed and open for conversation.
Love the feel of “Through the mists of time”
So glad Angus and Mal have such a huge collection of song ideas...possibly more to come🤞🏻🤟🏻😈
Rock in peace Bon and Mal❤️
My fav song through the mist of time I've downloaded it many times
That song makes me cry , love it
Best song on the album 👍🤘
Legends of Rock, these first two tracks are immense
I always get such great pleasure from listening and watching Angus and Brian’s interviews. The CD is fabulous, Brian’s voice is so strong and Angus what can I say? I just admire his great talent and I love watching him perform! I love you guys, I wish I could meet you. You’re simply great! Warmest regards 💞🥰Donna
Malcolm just amazes me. Hes a rather introverted, quiet guy who, through the guitar, is literally larger than life. Same for the rest of the members but Malcolm really embodies that.
You shure you mean Malcolm? Because he isn't with us anymore
@@torgejh9189 tbh he could also be talking about Malcolm because it's true too, depending on your pov. But yeah I think he means Angus.
@@JRcomments Shure yes, but it sounded a little off to me
Two humble men long live ac/dc
Always love Angus's openness and honesty - it shines through in all his interviews !!
Went to an outdoor ACDC stadium concert 5 years ago. Without doubt the loudest concert I've every been to. My ears have still not recovered. Loved it!
...... My daughter's went and reported back they now know why their Momma is CRAZY FOR THESE BLOKES!! 💞EAR-RINGING BALL BUSTING HIGHWAY RIDING MOTHA FUCKAS KEEP ON RIDING ON MY TRUE LOVES💞
Possibly the greatest interview with these two ever .Its nice to see Angus open up a little finally in his old age 👍 awesome
Hats off to the man who interviewed these Legends what a great job you are totally gracious and made it flow.
This was like sitting around with older family members, asking questions about the who, why, what, where, unlocking things you'd always wondered.
I love how seemingly down to earth they seem. Nothing pretentious just a love for their art form.
What a wonderful interview. There's not that many lengthy, sit-down interviews with Angus out there where the questions aren't all the same as other interviews. These were good questions and I enjoyed someone picking his brain about his music philosophy, his brothers, etc.
My thought too. Great interview. Very intelligent. Very refreshing.
Where do you get the energy?
Probably the freshest and the healthiest I've seen Angus and Bryan in years they really are powered up for this new era and I got to say the new album really is amazing and well worth the wait ... it's the same old AC⚡DC record but with a refreshing sprinkle of something new .... well done guys it's totally amazing to have you back and looking so alive and well, I really can't wait for this covid thing to disappear so that we can get a chance to see you back home on the stage doing your thing 🤟🏻
Forever Young :) Thanks for all these years, guys.
Cannot express enough gratitude to the interviewer and the quality/depth of his questions. Like all fan comments have said the band is forever legend. However, the tangible connection felt listening to this interview profoundly reflects where the lads are at in this chapter of their epic history. Reflective & content.
Most people don’t know this but all the song credits are Young and Young. Reason is that Angus sings all the parts on a demo then they move the key around that suits Brian. Brain hears what Angus has put down and the way Angus wants it go. I didn’t know that until Angus said that on a Twitter Q and A
One of the best interviewers , great questions and dialog. Well done
I think this is good therapy for Angus.
The thing about AC/DC is they have stayed the course through it all. I'm 45 years old and there has always been an AC/DC my entire life.
Me too! Born '75, the band is older than we are, what a great thing to grow up with 🤘😃👍
I think zane did a great job here. Really got them to open up and came across as really respectful. Loved it.
I feel the absolute radio interview was much better, this interviewer just can't shut up, he even spoke more than angus and brian combined.
I want to hear from AC/DC, not some bald 40ish dude
@@Agnus_Mason each to their own I guess. 😊
@@Agnus_Mason I’ll check out the absolute radio one though. Cheers
I absolutely love how Brian Johnson calls everyone, "Me son."
Such an endearing, down to earth souls. AC/DC will save the world!! 🙏🙏
3 Humble dudes. Zane is a Kiwi, Kiwis are notoriously humble!
“Let’s us not take this moment for granted”, is such a great statement.
Zane, top interview. Such a pleasure to listen to a knowledgeable interviewer who asked all the right questions and gave the audience a memorable journey. Thank you heaps! Oh yeah, always great to hear Brian and Angus too.
This is my band.....this guys are with me since i was 12...im 44 years old now. Its só special listening....Only the fans would Know what im Saying....Power Up.
AC/DC still puts chills down the back of my neck after all these years when their tunes come on ....Not many bands that can still do that for me ....lol. Just engery like no other.
One of the best interviews i've heard for a long time. Thank you for that. 🤟🤟🤟
This is the best ACDC interview I have ever seen. Love the openness of Angus and Brian. Intelligent questions and I feel part of an extended ACDC family.
"Buried me head in whiskey for a couple of months"
A few seconds later:
"Didn't take drugs"
:D
Great Malcolm memories
Seeing and hearing this smooths the soul. Hearing Angus talk about Mal in such a way is how important Malcolm was to him and the whole band. It was Malcolm's band front day dot. Without Malcolm with his directions who knows what would have happened. He was the rock, visionary and engine. R.I.P Mal ⚡️.. love this interview!
Great Interview Zane, and i am so happy and touched to see the Guys as happy and in peace as they are, after all the curveballs and tragedys that came their way!
One of the best interviews with these two! 🙏🏻
I'm glad that Ac /Dc is back to rock and roll again this year because I grew up listening to them for fun and I know they miss Malcolm very much and I know they really do
I have to applaude Axel Rose for stepping in when he did, and making the show at the old Olympic Stadium, Stratford, London, UK so entertaining, even with a knackered foot. He was on time, knew all the songs perfectly and didn't try to steal the show from Angus and his colleagues. Having heard his reputation of being an a&*ehole in Guns & Roses, I was unsure if he was the right person, but he proved me completely wrong. He went up in my estimation because of that.
Axl an older man , I think people keep remembering the young volatile Axl.
I thot he was a good choice too. Did the job good but wasn't a presence that many would want around replacing brian. Perfect.
I've seen a full length show with him out of the chair (a bit later in the tour) and I've gotta say, as someone who had doubts, he smashed it. Also had the privilege of seeing Angus turn up - in jeans and a white t-shirt - for a cameo at a GnR gig in Sydney. Gotta say Axle has got his game together since way back when, full respect to him 🤘👍
Best band on the planet, hands down!
Love the new album great rock tunes nothing but the best from AC/DC......
I remember sitting down with Steve DeMarchi (guitarist for ALIAS and touring guitar player with The Cranberries). He told me about the time The Cranberries toured Europe with AC/DC and The Stones. He said that Brian Johnson is such an amazing grounded person.
That’s a great interview.
Living legends enjoy them
If live shows are not possible, maybe a complete "Power Up" live video performance would be an ideal...a back to back live performance of each song from "Power Up" put on DVD, I'd buy that.
Idunno, no live audience to feed off of could be pretty awkward and lame. It would be like acting in a video shoot. Ya need a live audience for real excitement.
Like that Ballbreaker live rehersal they did, it was awesome
Great album!
Best
Band
Ever!
