yeah and seeing where his hands are confirms what I have always thought since I learned to play it - all the guitar TABs I have seen over the years have been incorrect.
@PlottingTheDownfall I saw them at the L.A. Forum in 81-82, we were running a lil bit late. When we got inside the building they were opening the show with Hells Bells. They had 2 giant bells on stage and when we heard them we ran to our seats....It was a great show. I'll never forget Brian Johnson on Angus's shoulders while Angus was tearing it up!! One of my top fav concerts of all time....💚🎸
@@PlottingTheDownfall It's exactly where an ACDC tab book showed me 20 years ago pal! None of their songs are technically difficult, just hard to get right. It's all about the rhythm.
Honestly the best warm up is just getting into the zone with each other. Unless you're playing very difficult music, which they of course didn't,* you don't need some 10 minute muscle stretching. Arguably his leads were challenging for him considering his size and his choice of guitar/set up. He definitely didn't do himself any favors with it. I used to think he was a slouch when it came to playing (NOT his performance 😂) until one day I realized how tiny he is. Being that I have played a similar setup on the same guitar I knew it wasn't the best for leads even with medium hands. By best I mean easiest to play. Higher action and medium - large strings do produce a different sound that's subjectively better. Either way those faces he makes were apparently legit. I assumed they were contrived but he was genuinely working hard sometimes. In a live setting it takes balls and skillf to play near your limits. I wonder if he ever played on a Jr guitar in private. Definitely more his size. Dude could probably legit shred on one.
@@pauljordan4452 Exactly. It's easy for people nowadays not to understand what these guys grew up getting inspired by. Same for the Stones and all the other great bands.
I was about to comment about that moment too. Its such a rare thing for a human to experience. All those people out there screaming for you and you about to walk out there and make their night. I bet its surreal as hell.
Although I never went on stage in front of a massive audience like they do, I can tell you from my limited personal experience that this moment generally feels quite awful.
@@guillllnahh...I've always loved it!!! Ya get all hunkered down with your boys and get pumped up, and ya get this feeling like: "We are going to kick some ass!!!"...and ya get out there and you work so hard that the crowd will never forget just who you are!!!!! I've done shows when the audience leaves after your set...they dont even want to see the next band!
Many performers, even those with decades of experience, are nervous before going on stage. Imagine the pressure they are under with thousands of screaming fans expecting them to put on the best show ever, night after night.
And? What's your point? Were you trying to explain why he's such a half-assed guitar player and had to get Eric fucking Clapton, of all the shit players in the world, to do the most boring solo of all time for While My Guitar Gently Weeps? And what's it got to do with Malcolm and Angus?
Love that little unplugged bit of "Hells Bells" So quiet you have to hold your breath to hear it, and you know that when they get on stage it's gonna be so LOUD!!!
Just a clean sound.He has a naturally clean tone because he just plugs straight into the amp. When he wants the distortion, he just turns up the volume and picks a little harder.
Plus Phil and Cliff in any band would be the most flattering rhythm section in history, so it’s bulletproof with these four players, machine sounds real tight.
KK and Glenn also had to be entertainers. Malcolm could just focus on hist rhythm playing while locking in with Rudd who's right next to him all night. He can easily see Rudd and brother Angus. Glenn and KK were usually far apart and not seeing each other. AC/DC were more about the groove than Priest. Also, Priest played precise metal with no improvising. Angus didn't have to play so tight, and so could play loose with the rythym. And by loose I just mean naturally. So the Angus Bros win on 'connected with each other'. But they couldn't play metal like Priest. It would be cool to hear AC/DC do some Priest tracks live that are similar in style to AC/DC. Like Steeler, Rock Forever, Delivering the Goods, Evil Fantasies, Don't Go, Hot Rockin, Devil's Child, You Take it All the Way, Rapid Fire. What else? Living After Midnight. No. Too obvious. @@rob-robi
You may be surprised to find they leaned a bit in the glam direction early on , especially when their original vocalist was still in the band. He was very much glam in his clothing and style
Probably used the same settings on their amps there that they use on stage except on stage they practically dime those Marshalls to get their sound. So many people when playing their songs think they need distortion pedals but their sound is not really distorted just the break up of the amps when driven. Turn down the volume and that's what it sounds like.
My first one was Fly on the Wall and have seen them 33 times since then. The only thing louder I have ever experienced is a top fuel dragster. The tinnitus is worth it.
Malcolm is one of my few idols. I stood right in front of him against the barrier at Mobile Municipal Auditorium on the For Those About To Rock tour. For me Mal was their engine. Mal, Phil and Cliff could lock in a rhythm like no section I've ever seen and I've pretty much seen them all. They were like a well oiled full throttle freight train. They were so loud though (small arena about 12,000 capacity) and remember that was when active Marshall cabinets were on the stage side R & L so up that close you got the full brunt. My ears rang for 3 full days after. I thought it would never go away. I still to this day have a slight hearing loss in one ear haha. RIP Malcolm.
I'm from mobile but was born about 14 years after that unfortunately, I have an uncle that went to that show, he said the same thing about the noise! I Also have a ticket stub he gave me, back then it was about $8.00 lol
An old Jet Firebird that he'd modified so many times. changed parts, switched out pickups, yanked out pickups and left gaping holes, switched out bridges. He beat the living shit out of that thing over all those years. It was like a tank from Rommel's Panzer Division haha.
@@davidreed3357 Disagree with WHAT? Only Iommi is as closely associated with the SG as Angus, and AC/DC dwarfs Sabbath commercially (although I love both bands). If Ang and Mal’s guitars aren’t iconic, then which are?
@Dreyno yeah but i meant in the Official music video for back in black i swear he played a guitar even bigger then that it looked like it could swallow him lol but thank you for telling me what guitar that was i was acthally just about to ask you what guitar it was because im on break right now from practicing guitar
Great footage. There's only a handful of people in the world who know what it's like to walk onto a stage and hear the thunderous applause and roar of a crowd thousands strong. These guys earned it.
I first heard of ACDC back in the early 80s when my sister brought home the Back in Black album. I remember getting yelled at by my parents when I would play it on our Grundig stereo console we got in Germany when stationed overseas. I was so taken away with it I would go to the record store and look for some of their other albums. I would save up my money doing chores and working in tobacco to get the opportunity to buy them. Enter my first paid for album, If You want Blood, You Got it. Soon after that Highway to Hell and Powerage. I was hooked. Back then the thrill of buying an album, not only listening to it but looking and the pictures and literature. That was the only visual we had at the time. Not at our fingertips today. I was very special as my first concert, Fly on the Wall tour Nov 17, 1985. During for Those About to Rock, the cannons were so loud a ceiling tile, or something fell from the ceiling down to the center of the arena. It was torn up into pieces by the crowd. Wild! My ears rang for the next 3 days! Over the years I've been to several shows if they came within a 2-3-hour drive. Even had a back-to-back show in two different arenas. Took a little longer than usual to get my voice back. Sad to say my last show tour was for Black Ice Dec 18, 2008. I almost went to one back in 2016, but just didn't feel right. Age, Axle I don't know. I certainly have done my part though and what a ride it has been. I wish I was old enought to have seen Bon.
Hell is real!!! Evidence? I’ve got scientific evidence too, but first psychology! You cannot out psychologize the Bible for God not to throw you into hell for all eternity. In other words, you cannot come up with a good enough excuse here and now, so you will not be able to on judgment day. If you say you did not want to be born, God is going to say you should’ve been born again, that means become a Christian so that’s not gonna work. And there are no other excuses try to think of one. So now you know for the first time in your life, that the Bible is smarter than you and it is a steel trap, smarter than all of mankind, What should you do then? So at least investigate and look to see that these things are true, because right now you just learned the Bible is smarter than you, and you will be accountable for your life on judgment day before God! Prophecy, the Bible is 27% prophecy, that’s future history written in advance. God‘s really sticking his neck out to get it cut off if he’s wrong, but he hasn’t been wrong about the thousands of prophecies that were fulfilled, so he’ll be right about the end of the world prophecies as well and you’ll have no excuse on judgment day for not looking for truth! Caveat: you cannot look for God in times of chaos says Isaiah 45:19, so you better do it now. In other words,You’ll be too worried about your own survival when chaos hits, than your eternal destiny! Statistic probability of 40 writers writing the Bible with zero margin of deviation, proves God wrote the Bible through the 40 writers! God authored the Bible! DNA does not auto encrypt, the code writer is outside of the code of the 3300000,000,000 lines of computer code in the human genome of our DNA! So who wrote the code to such sophistication? 1,000,000 seconds is 12 days, 1,000,000,000 seconds is 32 years! That’s the difference between 1 million and 1 billion! One person’s DNA could fill the Grand Canyon up to 50 times full of books. John 21:25 “I suppose everything Jesus did, the world wouldn’t have enough room for the books telling of it.“ this verse would be fulfilled! Psalm 139:16 “in my members you have written many books“! Psalm 139 is about the human body!
I met Brian a couple times and one of them we drank Jose Cuervo out of his bottle. He didn't want to smoke a joint, I had to ask. The time we drank he was hammered but nice. The second time he was even nicer and very humble. The situation was unique and I didn't ask questions about the band much. We talked more about his yard, which my friend used to cut and maintain. Anyway he seems super nice and he's known around Sarasota Florida for supporting the local music scene and helping people. I was behind his house fishin' for snook under his dock from a boat, with his landscaper. It was pretty cool.
So awesome to see two brothers in a band together who are both so talented and actually get along and care about each other. RIP Malcolm. RIP Dime and Vinnie!!

I went and seen these guys at the verizon center in washington dc a few years back and it was awesome the best concert i have ever seen they rocked for 2 hours straight non stop
We saw them in Liverpool at either the Empire or Royal court theatres on the release of Powerage, I feel fortunate that I caught them at their Bon Scott included best he walked around the entire block of stall seats with Angus on his back amid a cloud of red smoke coming out of his school satchel.
Malcolm used to play the entire set from beginning to end, as practice at every gig they did. Never missed it. It became more and more important to him as his health started to fail because he was fearful he would zone out. That’s what I call dedication (knowing he was going to have to do it all again in a few hours).
I notice Simon Wright (the drummer). He used to play for a band named Tora Tora. The band I was in at the time used to share a rehearsal room with them in the early 80’s in Ashton Under Lyne (near Manchester UK). I remember saying to them that I hadn't seen your drummer for a while, then they told me he was now with AC/DC , like it was no big deal!

I was lucky enough to see “Back in Black” in 1980. Saxon opened for them (which was great) then after a hour long intermission and lots of weed smoking, finally the bell started ringing and then our ears. Fantastic show.

I’m praying for one more tour one more time here in Chicago As a guitarist from a early age Malcom was my favorite I miss him dearly. AC/DC ROCKS !!!!!!
I seen them in St. Louis in 1983. THE second greatest show I ever saw. I also saw them in St. Louis in 1981. THE greatest show I ever saw. Those guys were so tight. Unreal.

It is so hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that so many great voices smoke cigarettes ... some believe it makes your voice even better ... Keith quit after 50 years ... This band has great energy
Precious moments to share. I find it interesting how Angus always gives Malcolm credit for their achievements. I guess this video shows a little bit of that.
Yep, Angus always said Mal was the better player of the two but of all the times I saw them live I never once saw him play a lick of lead. He was all rhythm all the time, the best.
