This already came out over two years ago.... it’s just a re-post... I guess they’re running out of ideas

We're going back through our Rig Rundowns and picking out our favorite clips and reposting them. Some people aren't keen on watching a 30-minute video, but a more digestible snippet on a certain topic brings a bigger audience, and in result, hopefully engages with them enough that they check out the full video. (Full transparency: we got the idea from JRE Clips - Joe Rogan's subsidiary channel - and others that re-use their content to engage new/bigger audience.) Thanks for your feedback and support ... YOU make this channel a success.

gnr next

@@premierguitar well, good approach, you lured me in. cool content!

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me.

He does seem like a super cool dude, but he also has the coolest job ever!

It’s cool to look like Garth!

Yes! So passionate.

He seems extremely nice. Probably a really great guy to have on a tour

What's up man we are doing I don't even knowing you're going to walk out with me I love you at the picture

Stand up and be counted, for what you are about to receive.

Thats rock - its like watching Spinal Tap! I mean, who takes bronze cannons on tour?! I know, they're probably fibre glass - but are they? Maybe they're real 'heavy metal'! XD

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK FIRE! WE SALUTE YOU!

you are right good sir.

Yea , the real deal here , no gimmicks no B.S. Love em to death , I`m 63 and was fortunate to see em in local pubs in my late teens , early 20's

I'm 50 i saw them at 15 or 16 for the first time the ticket was 25$ I remember around the sane time i saw GNR too and they were an opener and no one knew who they are😂 I was like wow that Slash guy can play😂

Party on Wayne!

He knows HE’S NOT WORTHY!

I think he'd be a drum tech, not a guitar tech... but it does look like him!

Scherrrrrrrwing! Dead on!

man`s a waterfall whenever he plays live

You said everything that I was about to write. So I’ll just go and crank up “Gone Shootin’” till the neighbours complain!!! Rock on brother.👍😁🇦🇺

Mysterious

Talks.

@@CaptainCraigKWMRZ thanks Craig! Without your correction I would have not understood that seriously cryptic message!

No that would be buckethead since he has never said a word in character before

I'd like to know what you're on about. Learn to type.

Yes, they have to pause for awhile but many don't lose a dime. Big touring outfits look after their people like family. Their experience and availability are crucial to getting the ''machine'' rolling again.

Funny, I thought that honor went to Robby Krieger.

Iommi too!

Angus Young is a more iconic guitar player.

Jeremy Rafuse Than Iommi? Debatable

It could be argued that Angus was motivated to get his SG’s after having seen footage of Tony and Robby, conceivably also Eric Clapton.

That's Trace Foster, he first appeared showing off the gear for Aerosmith's Joe Perry, then this rig rundown and finally he appeared as a cameo in the Rig Rundown for Bon Jovi when he helped pull out a Gibson Trini Lopez for Jon Shanks

Thanks! Just trying to do my job!!

@Anthony Hernandez Intermittent fasting and stacked workouts ... big inspiration is Jeff Cavaliere over on Athlean-X YT channel. Dude is intense!

Guy kills it. Everything I was thinking lol, I just couldn't do it on camera and under pressure!

I was thinking the same thing. He’s very knowledgeable about guitars and their electronics. That was a great interview.

I had no idea that guitar was so old! I’ve seen it countless times in photos and performances but unless you have it right in front of your face it looks MINT.

...for those about to rock.

Silicone is a bear if you want to refinish

This luthier I think

@@MrJeopold Yes, Jay Dee, that's who it was. Thank you. Also, I'm pretty sure his original SG was a '71, not a '72 like I thought, and it had the electronics all restored in between the Powerage and Highway to Hell albums, then it was totally rebuilt after the Highway to Hell tour.

@@livewire2759 Thanx maan! Rock n roll!

Angus’s first guitar was actually at 1968 Gibson SG that he bought in 1970. It originally had a maestro vibrato tailpiece but he removed it and replaced it with a standard stop bar tailpiece. It was a cherry red colour so I don’t think he will ever perform with it live again but I think he will only use it for recording. But that being said he does on several more.

​@@kgunitkeese17 I've done extensive research on Angus' guitars in the months since making this comment, as this video piqued my interest... (fair warning, this is gonna be a long read) Technically, his FIRST guitar was a banjo. He modified it to hold six strings so he could play it like a guitar when he was in his early teens. His first REAL guitar was a Hoffner that Mal gave him when Mal got his red Gretsch Firebird, around the time Angus was 15 or so. The next guitar he got, also the first one he bought himself, was his original Gibson SG. After piecing together pictures, interviews and other people's research, I've determined that THAT guitar was a late 1970, 1971 or early 1972 SG standard with a natural walnut finish (not cherry red) that he bought in 1972. It cannot be any earlier than a '70 model because it had a "volute" on the neck, a feature Gibson started featuring in 1970. By 1974, Angus had removed the arm from the tremolo, but the tremolo itself wasn't removed until late '77 or early '78 when he had an adjustable "stop bar" tailpiece installed, after Mal had one installed on his Gretsch. The truss rod of that SG was broken and repaired incorrectly around 1977, whoever did it actually welded the rod back together which burned a lot of wood out of the neck. The headstock was broken at least twice, again according to interviews and other researchers, and in the middle of the Powerage tour the guitar had to be retired from live use due to the body wood rotting out around the control cavity. At that point, he began using the guitars that would become known as "the Highway to Hell SG" (nearly identical to his original except that this one WAS cherry red) and "the Back in Black SG" (originally a white SG custom that he painted black and removed the middle pickup around 1977 [I believe this tech is incorrect about it being the walnut finished custom]). His original SG was then sent to JayDee who had previously rewound the pickups and replaced the control pots as well as replacing the truss rod and repairing the burnt wood in the neck, only this time the body was so rotten it couldn't be repaired. According to J.D. himself, in an interview YEARS after the work was done, he "built" a new guitar for Angus to replace that SG, and the only thing he was able to salvage was the headstock veneer. Again, this rebuild was done in 1978/'79, when Angus was having him do work on several of his guitars, and the interview where J.D. states this was from around 2000, so it's possible that he was mistaken about the details. I've also read that he either used another Gibson SG body and neck, or he made a new body and neck himself, and reused all of the electronics, the fretboard and the headstock veneer from Angus' original SG, but so far I've been unable to confirm exactly how the guitar was rebuilt. It's possible that "the Donington SG" which J.D. personally delivered to Angus right before going on stage at Donington in 1981 is the rebuilt incarnation of his original SG, but I haven't been able to confirm that either. Since that guitar was used for lots of live shows throughout the 80s, it's unlikely. Most likely, as you said and many others have claimed, the guitar was returned to Angus and he strictly used it for recording afterword and it has never again been seen by the public.

I believe the black and white custom in this video is NOT the famous SG he used in the Let There Be Rock movie (Paris '79) but yet another custom he acquired in 1980, for the Back In Black tour. There's pictures of it on the internet. It was indeed a 3 pick up wallnut custom, and it was pretty original/untouched when he used it live. Guess it got a re-finish years later. So even though this custom has the same b/w color scheme as the Highway to Hell era custom, I don't think this is that guitar. Unfortunately. That would've been REALLY cool! PS. Great taste. His original black and white custom and his first SG are also my favs!

Chris Kies is one of the better interviewers

Thanks, Janster! Appreciate the support!

Watching angus live is life changing

I agree, the band just doesn't do it for me, but gotta give them their due for their tone. I prefer Les Paul's over SGs by a long shot, but Angus's SG sound is killer.

My suspicion is that Angus could join any band and totally rock it the same way. Love to know what he plans on doing when live performing comes back. Is he going to come back too, and if so will he consider sticking with the AC DC name without Malcolm?

@@Shred_The_Weapon No change, no doubt.

Thanks, Mark, appreciate the kudos.

Petals? He's a flower hater huh?

I hope not, they should stay in Australia when Angus passes.

You know if he just wore some arm bands or something I don't know, that and your idea, that would help ,:-0

@@bigarthansatan2590 really? I play with 10-52 and can easily make a 1.5 step bend, and maybe make a 2 step bend. I use the D'addario strings though

Nothing's better for rock and roll than good old Ernie Ball 9s

@@dnews9519 Plenty of vids reviewing 7s as used by Billy Gibbons. I love 'em and I hit pretty hard 👍😎

@@AdaptivePhenix imagine how good Billy's guitar would sound if he played guitar strings instead of banjo strings.

Rick Beato did an episode on string weight- It was very interesting and dispelled a lot of myths about string guage.

Iron Eddie thank you! I thought the same but wasnt 100% sure.

Gladly watching again!

I enjoy these pills from the Rundowns, which are often long. Also Premer Guitar needs to keep churning out videos during the pandemic and this is a great way of reusing older content.

Andrea Austoni I hear you friend.... god bless..

Glad to see this. This abridged interview was uploaded in 2020, and I)m compelled to ask: is Angus even still performing live? If so, would he appear with the AC/DC name without Malcolm?

You also need a brother like Malcom. Lets not forget that. RIP.

@@roobysoho so true. RIP Mal.

Why? So they can charge 10k for a guitar? Come on dude, I’m all for the signature series but normal people aren’t buying 10k guitars. I wanted a billy gibbons les Paul gold top, wasn’t paying 10k bought one for 3k pinstriped it myself and aged it. Saved my self 7k

@@MAshire3 I think your getting a little too upset about this.

@@Mrrogerz5150 not upset lol I asked a serious question. Why should they offer it? Take a 2k guitar slap angus young’s name on it, beat it up a bit and charge 10k? Yea you are right they should offer it.

I thought hr was Garth I was looking for Wayne. “I’m not worthy “

Thanks!

I’ve seen the video before. 7-8 years old, I guess.

I believe it was for the last tour. If you think the guitar was interesting, there's a full "rig rundown" addition. The amount of tube amps up and running for a show was staggering. If your a techie guy like me...here's the full nerd additions kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJtzaqp8rN6tc5s.html
