BillyVance 34 #1 April 17, 2014 Sadly, it appears that AC/DC is hanging it up. Malcolm Young reportedly had a stroke and found that he couldn't play his guitar. Add to that, he's shown symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's. http://theorstrahyun.blogspot.com/2014/04/rip-acdc-1973-2014.html Suffice it to say, without Malcolm, there is no AC/DC. HE started the band. HE is the boss of the band. Nobody plays guitar like HE does it. 41 hard rocking years. That's one hell of a good run for one of the greatest hard rocking bands ever, that never changed its style and never went out of style either. Live easy, Malcolm, and thanks for all the great stuff."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dzdiva 7 #4 April 18, 2014 "I went out for a week one night" many, many times with AC/DC. I prefer the earlier years with Bon Scott as lead singer though. He was such a bad boy!! I kind of lost interest after he died in 1980. Just wasn't the same without him up front with Malcolm and Angus. I have all their early albums. Such a shame. Hopefully Malcolm's remaining time will be somewhat peaceful. "It's not just a daydream if you choose to make it your life..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #11 April 18, 2014 And of course, my all time favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM you've been.... thunderstruck! ETA: can't post without another old favorite from the Bon Scott days - If you want blood, you've got it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EWqTym2cQU note that Bon stabs Angus through the gut with the guitar. Others... including this one with Arnold Swarzenegger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLsXJitaiVo Another great video with Ironman 2 clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRQnJyP77tY And of course, the song they're most famous for... Highway To Hell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEPmA3USJdI this is incredible, the concert at the River Plate stadium in 2009 in South America. The crowd jumping in unison with the beat.

It all depends on Malcolm's recovery.
