Quotes
I’ve never felt like a pop star – this is a nine-to-five sort of gig. It comes from working in the factories, that world. You don’t forget it.
Malcolm Young
I used to listen to the Beatles and Stones, whereas Angus was more into the heavier stuff – Cream, Hendrix – with the lead guitar.
Malcolm Young
I’d listen to a song and say, ‘Hang on, I like that piano thing,’ so I’d play the guitar like that and get the vibe from it, and it just evolved from the get-go. It was pretty obvious what to do; You don’t think about rock n’ roll: you just do it.
Malcolm Young
Angus has had a few swings at me, maybe two or three times in our whole career. But then it’s done, and it’s not gonna drag on, because it’s not worth it. We have to stick together. And we know that.
Malcolm Young
