What??? Terrible news. I knew he left AC/DC and he had dementia but this is shocking news.
So sad to hear. RIP Malcolm - you'll always be remembered as one of the best rhythm players out there. |

AC/DC ...maybe the best rock band of all time.

Just finished reading some online articles about his passing. So sad. I remember going over to my buddy's house after Back and Black came out and we listened to his sister's record. First time I ever heard AC/DC and I was hooked.

I would second that. No frills blues rock/hard rock. Some of the most memorable guitar riffs ever written. They declined to turn into a 'hair metal' band in the 80's when everyone else was jumping into spandex.
Three chords? There's a bit of truth in that, but they played them better than anyone else. |

My all-time favorite rhythm guitarist. Sorry to hear the news. He gave me oh so many riffs to learn.

Dementia is an insidious disease! Godspeed Mr. Young. Thanks for the memories.

Founder of AC/DC, eh?
Would have never known. Good to keep plugged into current news, I reckon.

I saw an interview he gave a few years ago and it was clear he was not well.
AC/DC are definitely one of the hardest rocking bands of all time. RIP Malcolm.

Just a month after older brother George passed away.
It was George who helped set up and guide AC/DC in the beginning. An early shot of Angus, Malcolm and George Young.

I love this video. The ultimate grimy, gritty, straight-ahead rock band. Let there be rock. |

As an aside, I hope this is the end for the band & I mean that in a sincere way. With Malcolm gone, Bon long gone, Brian's voice gone, Phil Rudd AWOL & Cliff Williams retired it's surely time to hang up the boots. Cool picture of the Young brothers there Bruce, none of them big in physical stature but all giants of rock (particularly Australian).

Malcolm's tonal foundations were an inspiration to me for years.
Rock in Peace, Mr. Young! |

Oh man another legend has passed. R.I.P. he was relatively young too.
