R.I.P malcom hope your rocking with bon now
Bon?
He is my friend. Believe me, he is!!
daniel shoppingcart amen
They’re in hell!
xxjoeyladxx o wow 🤔😤😪😢😓😰
Angus young is one of the most humble musicians you’ll ever see never let the fame and what they have achieved get to his head… what a guy what a legend
He pure gold. And people love him for that.
Brian is too.
Angus is the greatest and what live performances he does!

Slim pickings, really.
I don’t want to live in a world without AC/DC.
Me neither, some of the absolute finest moments of my life at AC/DC gigs throughout the years, rocking away with my mates and a few beers....and always Malcolm on the left pumping it out.
Sooner or later they have to travel that highway
I dont want to live without KISS, Guns n' roses, and all those great rock bands
I agree such legends
@@leematoadgaming4945 Appetite For Destruction was one of the greatest debut albums of all time, that’s for sure.
Angus strikes me like an incredibly sweet person.
TheTadziofan I’ve never seen so much talent in someone so humble
he is when agreed upon. he is also extremely private. understandably so.
Greedy is what Angus is.
@@tbugher62 Is there a story I don't know about?

Malcolm Young “ I will play until I can’t play anymore “. God bless him! Kept on rockin’ till the end! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 RIP bud

Greetings from BULGARIA!AC/DC FOREVER !
From Canada Also 🇨🇦🎸
They couldn’t possibly have found someone better to fill Bon’s shoes than Brian Johnson. He fit so perfectly with the band; and he seems like a heck of a nice guy!
So true, he was the perfect new lead ,he even sounds like him
@user-mg9ii2wx9k It would hurt the pride of an original artist when you label him he sounds like his counterparts. Cause, he'd like to have his own identity, we all do, right?!
@@karmozgammoy10apr88 (unfortunately) scotts dead so hows he going to take offense
Scott recommended him to the band before his passing.. believe it or not.
It's cruel illness, kill memory, my father died in Alzheimer dementia, 2 years ago.
I lost my dad in 2016 because of the disease. Before he completely lost his memory I recall him telling me he wished he could have cancer instead. He broke down in tears when he couldn't remember his grandsons name. He felt shame. All I could do is convince him that everything was alright and that we didnt think any different of him because if his illness. The last stage was extremely difficult. I wouldnt wish that on any soul on earth
You have my condolonces. I had a grandmother died the same way.
Sorry to hear
@@vflrockytop Thoughts are with you my friend...
I've never even met my father's mother. She died of alzheimers dementia before I was born.
R.I.P. Malcolm. Rock on.
Ummm... I think it goes "I'm on the highway to hello?
This guy said heaven 😂
My aunt is from Australia.. her sister was involved with organizing Malcolm’s funeral.. everyone attending got a little booklet with a guitar pick in it. She gave one to me, and I’ll tell you.. I’ve shredded it to bits, Malcolm would have wanted it that way. Thank you for electrifying my life AC⚡️DC
Omg, I would have cried if my aunts sister gave that to me tbh
@@piperlawson56 would you like to have it ?
@@kenneth6211 uhhhhhhhhh, ITS FROM MALCOMS FUNERAL! CHERISH IT, KEEP IT SAFE! THATS WHAT I WOULD DO. In all serious tho, if I had it I would probably panick
man I wish I couldve been there, cherish those guitar picks!
OMG… I would have KEPT THAT
It's amazing they can go on without Bon and then Malcolm but I can't see them going on without Angus.
The Devil it’s not gonna happen my friend... Mal was AC/DC and so was Angus but we all know Ang was THE show. So without a school boy runnin around there will be no acdc and that’s how it should be
@@TheLukeDaly You've got no argument from me. I agree.
It so sad if we haven't see a school boy runnin on a stage. I cant watch it...
Never happen. When Angus is done, the band is done. Like Motörhead & Lemmy, there’s no point in it.
I agree
Eight years later, this is still one of the most heartbreaking titles to a video I ever remember seeing. Because these guys are like family to me. They worked their butts off entertaining every one of the fans and always stayed true to their music which is now our music. Watching Angus and Brian both talk about the terrible days coming for Angus was truly awful and yet, beautiful too. Because they fought to say only enough to tell the fans they knew wanted to hear about Malcolm. Malcolm has gone home now, and we are still blessed to have Angus and Brian and the whole AC/DC family together to remember Malcolm and Bon and know the family lives on proud in their memory. And to play the best rock music ever made.
One thing more, the interviewer here was really respectful that Angus was hurting bad, and that Brian was really concerned for him. And all three men shared some laughs while commenting on the health of someone they truly loved and cared about. Rest in Peace Malcolm and tell Bon, We Miss Him too.
The PWRUP 60 mins interview where Angus is talking about Malcom’s last days is brutal, heartbreaking to see Angus crack for probably the first time ever in public.
Well said mate.
100%
Angus Young is a total legend. Someone once said he could play guitar falling down the stairs. Humble, respectful, totally likeable and a gifted musician. Thank you AC/DC for the music and entertainment. RIP Malcolm, your legacy will never be forgotten
RIP Malcolm, the quiet genius. Brian Johnson did the impossible, successfully taking over from Bon and doing a great job. Angus, you're a legend, very humble.......
Not so hard when you have Malcolm and Angus
I have to quote Dr. Suess: Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
it's really amazing that Angus is able to talk about Malcolm in this manner.. being so open and honest about his illness. Angus is a really good and down to earth man. you don't see that ever in people that have achieved that level of fame.
In Angus' mind he isn't on that level of fame. He is still Angus that plays guitar because he loves it and if the people hearing it love it then great!
I agree. To me, many of those questions are personal and not really appropriate. But Angus responded with MUCH class.
I agree with the OP and the 2 others who responded before me. I’ve seen other documentaries where they have done fan meets and they all seem very down to Earth. I’m also amazed that Angus managed to answer such difficult questions with such class. I’ve read interviews over the last 40+ years, where Angus has said that he always looked up to Malcolm, that Mal was responsible for most of the riffs and was the underrated powerhouse of the band.
As a granddaughter of a strong man who lost his life to dementia I can honestly say what a cruel cruel disease this is. RIP Malcolm you will forever be the mastermind behind one of the greatest rock bands to grace this earth, and you will forever be a legend. Ride that highway brother!
Its sad to see someone that you love going through This and u feel helpless
@@tinavarble6270 Reason 5 million and 1 that I don't believe in any loving diety or god,
Let it be said, Brian Johnson is one of the coolest MFers ever.
Him and Phil anselmo
@@shaybarbashactamoniak2856 Sorry, Anselmo is certainly REAL about everything, but not even on the same planet as Brian Johnson in terms of being a chilled and good-hearted guy.. He puts himself above NObody..
Crush Everything Nicest bloke in rock n’ roll.
Absolutely!! He is the definition of cool.
Sad. He's a good man Angus. A very good man. Good on ya mate. Keep going you legend., Do it for your brother.
A good man? Lol wtheck?
@@billnaugle9117 what? you disagree?
@Raul Salazar Why else would they be on the HIGHWAY TO HELL?
Mesc dont sweat the idiots man.
@@Mescalito27 Why do you use so many bloody spaces dude?
Angus is a sweet cute old man and Brian has the spirit of an 18 year old
His lips are 95% British
Thats the tea kids
But then, Angus gets on stage & is dynamite.
@@rgerber they r British by origin, they only migrated to Australia
@@sengezontini4506 Scottish
Never would have thought I'd be here watching this after having gotten word that my mom is now suffering with dementia. You only have one mother. Enjoy the time you have to share with them.
Damn brother . Prayers to you and your mom and family .
That's true. My father has it. It's hard. You see a man you looked up to your whole life now can't work the TV remote. It's very hard.
the fact that malcolm kept writing music till he couldn't remember how to shows how much he loved acdc and what he does
You can see the hurt in Angus and Brian's eyes.... Poor guys!
Even after all these years together you can see the amount of respect Brian still holds for Angus and AC/DC
And Bon.
Best rhythm guitarist ever there was. RIP Malcolm. Respect.
@elgiacomo
You know, I believe you could be correct, I was talking to an old orig drummer for AC/DC the other day - apparently he was as versed as any with lead skills, but he was just SO SOLID, so much so it's easy to miss him on a track. Very few excellent Rhythm players out there. ones that simply hold everything together, playing wise you have to be immensely skilled and quite humble to pull that off.
Agreed
One of the best..
What was the drummers name?
John Lennon...?
Good Interviewer. He doesn't always interrupt.
He’s great in that respect, allow those being Interviewed to tell their stories. Very touching Interview...
AC/DC was the soundtrack of my life, listened to them since I was 13 or 14 and I'm now in my 50's so they have been in my life longer then my wife lol Rock on Malcolm with Bon up there, hope to see you both some day in Heaven.
The interviewer asks Brian is he uses Lemon and Honey.... Angus says Sandpaper and laughs. These guys are homegrown good guys!
Rest in peace you 5 foot 3 bad ass you rocked all night long so talented loved him he was one of a kind one of the best ever rip mal
@Raul Salazar Shatap
@Raul Salazar what??
@J J Yeah i think he's a nutter
Raul Salazar 33 subs 👀
Raul Salazar you sir are an amazing ASS HOLE The song highway to hell is about them getting to where they’re at in their careers. AC /DC with every member that they’ve had are one ☝️ of a kind RIP Malcolm you will be missed but not forgotten and also Bon 😎👍🏼
Great interview with two very humble superstars. The interviewer didn’t make it about him, as so many others do. He let the guys finish their answers not cutting the guys short. Love AC/DC and loved this interview.
Malcolm is often much underrated in the shadow of Angus, he was a killer rhythm player and the foundation of their sound. RIP Malcolm.
Angus himself said it best. When asked how he felt being one of the greatest guitarists in the world, Angus replied “Please, I’m not even the best guitarist in my family.”
Malcom gave angus the spotlight
3 family members having played or playing the guitar in a world renowned band.
The Young family clearly brought some guitar talent to the world.
Try 4,the oldest brother was in the easy beats.
Yeah older brother George was definitely an unofficial member of the band, and so many songs with Young/Young & Young credited as the writers.
The Young family had a great pool of musical talent in their genes.
Thanks AC/DC for DECADES of fantastic music. God bless you all.
My mom has alshemizer disease and it is devastating 😢. Malcolm was my favorite out of the band.
🙏 RIP Malcolm Young you are missed.
I feel so honoured to have seen them live in 2010. Front row of 80,000. Amazing memories
I remember hearing about this when they released a statement about him having to exit the band for treatment I was about 13 or 14 then and when I found out he was fully retiring my heart shattered and then it shattered again when he passed away I remember the day he passed away what I even wore and everything. I was wearing a AC/DC high voltage shirt and a pair of black jogging pants. And I was laying in bed when I got the alert on my phone that he had passed away. I could not get up for about an hour and I would not stop crying that entire day. And I told my mother and she immediately dropped to her knees and started praying for Angus. She never met him but she was very familiar with AC/DC.I could not imagine how Angus felt that day. And losing another brother only not even a month before he was very struck I’m sure. He is a strong man he is one of the greatest guitar players and we will stand behind him every time he falls down if he cries or anything. We are one army we are the AC/DC Family internationally!
Lady Angus Young Fan 1998 God bless you and your mother! You both have huge hearts! 52 yr. old AC/DC lover till death here in St. Louis Mo. USA! Peace
Tammie Parrish Miller I’m from USA as well!
You are a credit to your parents hon. I remember some of the 1st things I read about the band as a young guitarist myself and I was about your age. It struck me immediately that the interviewer would be focusing on Angus and he would have none of it and always tried to stress the importance of his brother providing a solid foundation for him to riff over. To the point even of more or less proclaiming that Mal was much more talented than himself. I saw immediately what that was. He was afraid that his brother was gonna feel overshadowed and he couldn't have that and didn't want to feel like he was stealing the limelight. He would always try to focus attention on his big brother. I also knew then what else that made clear. He loved his big brother. It's a good bet those guys had some pretty good parents too. Your very lucky baby. I know your comments over a year old but reading it sure did make me feel better today. I have 5 grandchildren from my 3 kids. From just a little older than u down to the youngest who just turned 6. It seems like a much different world right now than the one we had just a year ago. It was great to read something written by a beautiful young person. Thank you.
Good on you Angus, to talk about Malcolm in that way must be so difficult especially considering that it’s his brother, top man is Angus. You also have to love Brian Johnson, what a rocker he’s been over the years.
RIP Malcolm...............
Been a fan since 1981, seen them in 2009 with Malcom.
Fan since birth (1984) 😎
I am surprised Angus' head is still attached to his neck.
.Angus gave me,,,and millions of others their first "gig neck"...when you rock it so hard your neck is sore for the next 3 weeks...I can't believe he still does it, incredible amount of energy...rip Malcom.
You take a sad video and make it funny. It is kinda surprising tho
@@piperlawson56 It is mostly a Scots way of dealing with primarily death and sadness etc. it is called gallows humour or morgue humour. Our Aussie cousins have the same kind of humour 95% of the time. Malcolm and Bon will be rocking for all eternity and beyond.
@@allanjackson9370 ahhhhhhh thank for the info, it makes alot more sense now
Gives some respect brother..at least..
I really appreciate Angus' transparency with regarding his brother. He answered several questions that I had about Malcolm's illness.
Two, absolutely without question, legendary princes amongst men right there. God bless Malcolm Young RIP.
I love that quote from Malcolm, "Angus goes up the dusty end"
Prayers to the family...these are the ones who wrote the rule book on ROCK &ROLL .....my fav band ever !!!! I hope they stay around forever and keep the band going for 50 more years
Poor Malcolm, R.I.P.
Why "Poor Malcolm"? We all die and whilst that is a cruel illness there are many far worse and he had a damn good life doing what he loved doing with his kid brother to boot. I'd take that life, anyday !!
Skinny Karlos but poor Malcolm for the fact that he could’ve lived longer it’s not like he was so old that he could barely move, my nan turned 100 a few months ago and it’s unlucky that Malcolm passed away much earlier than that
Its a surreal thing to comprehend that this is little schoolboy Angus Young..
it really is, man. it makes me sad.
Time is the ultimate killer. All will pass, some will never be forgotten.
Boys scoutes
Noone said that age was a good thing. Life is good, then it later sucks.
You reach a certain age where moms gone, dads gone, friends are gone, and you don't bother worrying about it much anymore. It happens to every generation. I want to be proven wrong, but where are all of our replacements? I'm surrounded by limp dicks.
Still down to Earth after all these years. 🎸🎶🕺
My mum died of the same thing. She Rocked in her own little way. In a chair.
Having gone to the same high school as the young brothers, AC/DC they're in my BLOOD
Malcom Young gone but never forgotton🤘legend
Rest In Peace Malcolm, your music will live on forever....
Such a humbling interview... watched it many times... such humbleness,love and genius..
I could listen to Angus,Brian and Malcolm, Bon Rip to both of them, all day they are so down to earth,humble rock stars
I really hope he is peaceful because he made me feel like I could do anything ROCK ON 🤘🤘🙏
What LEGENDS right here.
It can't get any more real
Rest in piece Malcolm and for those about to rock we salute you. You are my favourite band AC⚡️DC!!!
Had em in my youth...now into middle age...forever in my heart. Ac/dc forever.
These guys are all heart and pure class.
Painful memories for Angus and Brian, their down to earth attitude has got them through so much. Keep rock n rolling AC/DC!
Man I remember seeing AC/DC when I was 14 years old back in 08. Literally one of the best moments of my life. So glad I got to see the whole band before Malcom passed. RIP Malcom. Rock N Roll legend. 🤘❤
Long live Malcom. He will be in our hearts forever ❤️❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️💕💕🖤🖤💖💖💗💗🖤🖤💖💖❣️❣️🖤🖤
Awwww......Angus calls him Mal 😥😫. Missing you Malcom, you wont be forgotten
Angus is so mesmerizing! RIP Malcolm....You are missed
Angus is a truly delightful character - it must have been so great being in a band with him
I live 10 minutes away from Angus! What a house😍🙏🏻
Wow so cool
I'm in envy
Huge property taxes, and 100% loss of anonymity. No famous person will admit it. But after the novelty wears off of being the center of attention, you recognize how valuable your anonymity is. No longer able to go out in public in any public place - restaurant, shopping, a recreational activity, without being subjected to intrusive fans.
No freaking thank you. ZZ Top with the beards etc., Buckethead, that would be the only way.
You cannot buy back your anonymity once it is gone.
There are ways to earn a great living and keep your anonymity. Also, 'famous' still lingers if you ever become 'washed up' or a 'has-been.' This happens to the vast majority of people in the entertainment business. "Famous and broke, destitute." Being famous does not generate income.
Have you got to talk him? If you get to, tell him all of us fans feel terrible for his loss.
@@Greg_Chase being good at what you do will always bring in the $$$ famous or not.
I've been a fan since 1976 as a kid and still listen even today Cold Hearted Man
You guys are my alarm clock every day. Thank you.
The Young bros were awesome..brothers playing together like that cannot be replaced...it’s like one entity with two guitars
Aaaaaaabsolutely I've started listening to them some years ago, first I laughed about the screaming high voice then I thought "wow... They are pretty cool" I listen to ACDC every day all the way
Brian Johnson is a Class Act, and The Greatest Voice in R&R
My GREATEST Band ever. I'm greatful to have seen them in concert, in the spring 88. At Stuttgart Germany. Thanks for the memories, and where I got a lot of energy from. RIP, Bon Scott & Melcom Young. 💔
Bless acdc from singapore
I thought they were from Australia?
poor angus was flooded with emotion and that question was uncalled for hows that gunna feel without malcolm ? i felt it sting angus thats why he went on talking and talking for a minute
“Angus goes up the dusty end...” Brilliant!
That is one of the best interviews I’ve seen with them.
The Best Rocking Roll Band Ever !!! 😎
i know. Without them there would have been n o Metallica, lol.
RIP Malcolm. RIP Bon.
AC/DC FOREVER!
Malcolm Young was one the best guitarists in AC/DC
if not THE best
One of two ;)
I wouldn’t go that far. Angus is who most the fans came to hear and watch. But ur have a right to ur Opinion I’m sorry I didn’t mean to step on it. Peace
@@seansturgill4869 ha ha ha ha !!!!!
in a band i enjoyed plaing malcoms part
I LOVE THESE Guys 🥰 RIP Malcolm, THANK YOU for giving us your amazing talent & music.. you will never be forgotten 🌹👏💕😘
One of the best rock bands ever. Nobody can play like Angus Young! All respect to you guys for your dedication, devotion and the love of rock music!
Saw these guys on the Who Made Who tour.....Queensryche opened in 1986.....I was 16......continues to be the greatest show I have ever seen
I was always blown away that these guys were able to find a new frontman. How unlikely it was but they did it and rocked on. Then Malcom...My best friend and mentor has dementia. It's a very unfair disease. It's as if they've died, but are still here. I think death can come sweetly in times like these. AC/DC will live on forever! God bless them all!
DID MALCOLM DIE OF HEAVY DEMENTIA...........?? HOW LONG DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW LONG HE HAD IT ...... FROM WHAT YR., TO WHAT YR.,.....???? ANY ONE HONESTLY KNOW......................??????????????????????????????????????
@@jamieround2072 I don't know that Malcolm was actually diagnosed with dementia, nor did they actually pin point it in the interview from what I can gather after watching it twice now. I was merely trying to say that it's very hard to watch someone you love dearly begin to lose themselves. Maybe Wikipedia has something on it.
Your up there with the best now boss. You was that good your on my list of perfection. RIP Malcom
Ac Dc was the best band to see in concert. I seen them many times. Never a bad show. I still rock out to them. It was a great era to grow up in.
"Angus goes up to the dusty end" that's awesome! Love them forever.
Thanks lads. I went through the same illness with my mother. Early onset illness is some of the hardest. But as Angus said, keep going until you can’t. The illness will say when it’s over.
I am
Hoping to take my young boys to a show before it’s over . Thanks fellas. J
R.I.P. Malcolm Young the back bond of AC/DC as Angus always said he tought him the rythem and blue's.
Sweetheart guys man. Never let it go to their heads and did it with love for the music, fans and each other.
Malcom Young Always Loved, Never Forgotten, Forever missed.❤❤
Brian Johnson basically looks the same - but Angus Young looks much much older. He's aged dramatically.
Yeah he has been a heavy smoker his whole life
Watching a loved one die a slow horrible death will do that to us.
He had lost most (now all) all his siblings. Sadness does that to a person
Angus just awesome in concert high energy same as 30 yrs ago
Saw Angus play with Slash. He BLEW him off the stage. :):):):)
I really really loved this album.
Amazing rock n roll !!!!
We lived AC/DC all the time! Saw ACDC in concert 1979 Civic Auditorium Albuquerque NM when I was 10 yrs old. "If you want blood" U.S. tour. Amazing watching Bon and the boys
The energy they had on stage was incredible.
Malcolm and Angus are geniuses to write so many songs and to come up with great lyrics takes some talent
Malcolm and Angus are both beautiful people.
Two amazing blokes. Have loved their stuff for decades.
Malcolm Young is RIP „we salut you „
Salut!!!
Rock In Peace Malcolm and Bon... 😢💗🤘🏼
Whenever brothers are in a band they are always dedicated to each other, I see it in old interviews of the Wilson Brothers in Beach Boys clips and the way Angus talks about Malcolm is true brotherly devotion- to the music and to each other!!
I wish I had a strong sibling bond!
My favorite Band of all time. 2 brothers made a great band. How sad for Angus to lose his brother that way.
RIP Malcolm Mitchell Young
. I love this band they really reshaped hard rock music.
The most sad thing, could happen to a composer. 😥
AC/DC are the best rock band in the the world! AC/DC and Queen are true legends and their music will be played forever. Talent like theirs is never forgotten ❤️❤️
Legends. Thank you for every thing
