Title: ACDC's Malcolm Young, 64
Post by: IronDioPriest on November 18, 2017, 01:03:15 PM
He's always been a pretty frail guy, missing tours for rehab and health concerns, often replaced on tour by a younger cousin, Stevie Young. I'm pretty sure he was pickled-drunk his entire adult life. Still, quite a pioneer. Angus got all the attention, but Malcolm was a primary songwriter, and his riffs are timeless.

Since David Bowie passed (@ 69), I'm been marginally noticing the ages of rock stars as they drop; seems to be between 65 & 73 years old as a general rule of thumb.

I didn't know George died just a few weeks ago.  Angus and Malcolm weren't the only talents in the family.

RIP to both.  So young to die of dementia.   :'(

I really like their stuff, especially the earlier stuff...and like IDP mentioned, you hear a Malcom riff it's immediately identifiable.

It sure does seem like somebody somewhere is putting one heck of a band together what with everybody checking out of this little ball of mud...

Funny you should mention that.

AC/DC epitomized the rock genre. RIP, Malcolm.
