The best Rhythm Guitarist in history.

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...!!

You are greatly missed Mal, greatest rhythm guitarist of all time…rest easy sir

The three Young brothers are owed a lot by Australian music especially, plus world-wide applause 👏👏👏

I learnt more off Malcolm about music in this amazing interview than I have listening to hundreds of others blab on about nothing.

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.

Angus and Malcom are one of my all time favorite guitar Duo's!

The man. The legend. RIP Malcolm

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!

These guys were a frickin machine No one will ever come close to Mal, Phil and Cliff

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.

Malcom, the ACDC main spar . ACDC forever !!

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!

"Rock-n-Roll has a swing." Truer words have never been spoken. ACDC Rules! RIP Malcolm Young!

They were awesome, love the pure rock they provided

Malcolm we do know how good You, Angus, Phil, Brian, Bon and Cliff are...got the albums to prove it. Miss ya!

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 💕

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

Malcolm had SOUL!!! Miss him terribly.

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.

"but there's no Rock n' Roll bands.....just the Stones and us." Wow, so true

I love Malcolm's voice

RIP Mal, such a sweet, talented, underrated dude.

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.

No one could else could have pulled off Back in Black but Brian , Bon will always be so cool.

Mal where do we start, born in Scotland and landed in Aussie, The best thing an Aussie could hear

Still miss Mal 😢

RIP to a legend in music. Malcom young will never be forgotten.

A true guitar legend, a true blue Aussie AND a true Scotsman. Thankyou for changing music Malcolm

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!

Thank God for this clip they never talk about each other like this, so much honestly there and the true eloquence of Malcom.

Such a talent so rare that he had the most humble nature

One of the all time greats! What a loss.

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

Malcolm and Bon having a drink and making music right now

Malcolm Young drove the best rhythm section in rock n roll. Sweet to the beat.

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.

Such a great guy & musician You are deeply missed Malcolm :(

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.

Malcolm is a very articulate guy, he and Angus.

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/

One of my favorite rhythm guitarists. Humble and knows exactly when where and what to play.

Businessman, songwriter, guitar player. Very smart and driven person. He was the engine to the band.

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.

How respected and cool personality malcolm is...

"Cleverness" Still had a Scottish lilt to the odd word. "Brilliant" Plus his explanation of rock/rock n roll/heavy metal is Spot on.

God, I love listening to these guys talk.

We mis you mal ❤

The best interview of Malcolm young, what a great man he was!!

Malcolm was the Heart♥️&. Engine of AC⚡️DC.😌

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

AC/DC, the best rockn'roll band ever!!

Malcolm was absolutely amazing.

im in my 50s i still miss him he taught me how to play guitar...my guitar is my only friend

Such modest lovely guys.

I love mals, drum imitation thats gold. And totally right along

Simply a genius.

One day I think has come dude for all of you . Legends in Rock !

Love you Mal and miss you R.I.P ❤

Proper rock and roll geezers

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.

Such a loss. Rest In Peace Mal xx

I’m here in 2023. Hoping for one more tour. Im praying 🙏

Malcolm Young 06/01/53 18/11/17

The backbone of AC/DC , gods if i miss him.

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.

He was the band,

malcolm so humble good guy RIP

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. "-)

RIP legend 💗

He was such a good loving brother!

Can we say genius music man

This was 2001. I wonder when between then and 2008 Malcolm started to develop symptoms of dementia? He seemed so sharp here.

Malcom Young. The Best.

The best ever

I didn’t think that Phil Rudd was out of the band that long! 12 years??

danke.. i se you somwere some time..

Fuck Angus looks like George in this

The engine that made it go

Thats a very interesting insight... Rock vs. Rock and Roll. I've often tried to pinpoint exactly what it is that makes their shit just make you want to MOVE! Of course it's everything working together... but the that subtle difference in rhythm Malcolm mentions. Maybe that's the simple difference!

tanks...yep..

MALCOLM...I love Augus, but Malcolm is the real genius behind acca dacca

Seems like Malcom was the engine behind the band.

thankyou for sharing this 🙂 x is there more of the interview somewhere??

He's exactly right

He's not a guitarist. He is the guitar

Phil Rudd has certainly changed!

where's this from? What year? And thx. Love it!

Gee hes a good fella

AC/DC without Malcolm is like Queen without Fred

"Let there be rock" vs "Neeps and tatties". Bon Scott vs Robert Burns. I know what I'd choose. 😜

Mal was the best at everything

Bon was the best frontman sorry Brian

Baixinho bom de briga

There’s rock and roll then there’s acdc…..

Can anybody tell me what year was this interview ??

Phil is the man, but Chris Slade left his own legendary mark on the band. Too bad they can't have two drummers because it's hard to choose between the two. haha

I imagine that guitar playing is very difficult..........but how do you play while running around a stage ???!!!

He was the boss. What a tragedy 😢

You'd think hes was just a normal Joe soap you wouldn't look at twice on the street
