RIP Malcom Young, AC/DC Mastermind

[Deleted member 21794]

Malcolm was innovative in the heavy metal world as he often used traditional chords rather than the usual power chords in hard rock. He made it work. Those of you who play guitar knows he typically didn't use just an A, B, C, etc chord. He tweaked them a bit to get a very specific sound he desired. He was a musical genius in that regard.

Back in Black was the second best selling album in history.

RIP Malcolm, from a big AC/DC fan.

This one is still my favorite AC/DC album cover. Malcolm is the guy on the left with the white t-shirt.

Didn't see your post. Just put one up in General forum. I have every one of their CDs. Bon Scott was still alive the first time I saw them.

Indeed! He and Bon are likely on one hell of a bender as we speak...

I got turned on to them a few months after Bon Scott died- right before Back in Black came out. I'd say that would be my number one wish as far as seeing a band with all the original members. If You Want Blood is still one of my favorite live albums.
