It absolutely breaks my heart. There are certain people in R&R that are very special to me and very dear to my heart...the Young brothers are on that list. I sincerely believe that they have always been genuine good guys, and to see bad things happen to them, is very similar to seeing bad things happen to my own family...I've never been lucky enough to meet them, but I feel like I've known them my whole life. They have provided the soundtrack to the majority of my life...I bought Dirty Deeds when it was first released, to give a refrerence to how long I've been a fan. RIP Mal, and I hope Angus can find a way to ease his pain...although I think he has by releasing PWR/UP. I'm sure Mal is looking down, happy with the new album.
I couldn't help but cry when Angus started to get emotional,,he's a human being first and a rock legend second,, he had a tough year losing both his older brothers, the relationship between them was a beautiful thing , Angus you are an amazing person and it's awesome that you are keeping Malcolm's band, his baby going..
Well said I couldnt have said it better myself and we are human no shame in crying and getting upset I hate the phrase man up I would rather see men cry too we are humans and got emotions. I love how angus handles this its extremely hard for love ones to talk about death especially when very very close mal young will always be with us in spirit he will never be forgotten
Same here. Sucks losing a Brother. All I said to myself when Angus got emotional was , easy Angus just take it easy for a second. The suffering is over for Malcom. He’s in a better place. That’s my opinion, that’s from first hand experience. 🙏😢
Well said fellow brother of rock ‘n’ roll. It’s like when AC/DC is mentioned? Or even heard or on the TV everybody forgets about the ignorance that is going on around them whether it is politics or religion or any kind of stupidity it brings us all together as one big family, that’s why we are the AC/DC army. I created a group on Facebook called the AC/DC army. For everyone have every race nationality and even if you don’t believe in religion or stuff like that it’s just an example I know this has nothing to do with that I am just making a point that everyone is welcome as long as they like AC/DC. That’s how much they have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. Growing up in South Carolina with a biracial Scottish immigrant mom. She got treated like crap but she always turned to AC/DC to get her through and say I don’t give a fuck what anyone says. Currently she is a retired corrections lieutenant, she was the chief of police and one hell of a police officer. She’s the one who got me into them to begin with because she was literally born on the same day and the same year in the same city as Angus. I am not even joking. A lot of people say I’m lying when I say that but I know the truth and so does she. I think and I know you’re probably going to say I’m a liar when I say this she went to grade school with them. Very young. Back when she lived in the UK
@@AgentXPQIt must have been hard for Angus big time. The mid to late 2010's put AC DC through the ringer: 1. First Malcolm takes a break for health reasons in 2014 and leaves the band. 2. Second is Brian needing to quit partway through the 2016 Rock Or Bust Tour leaving the band's future up in the air but off of sheer luck, Axl Rose of all singers fills in and he broke his right leg temporarily requiring a sling for the first half of the tour and he had to fly back to his Guns N Roses reunion tours. Surprisingly Angus Young joins Axl on some of their tours and then Axl finishes up the Rock Or Bust dates 3. Thirdly, Geir3ge Young dies just a few weeks before Malcolm in 2017. Yet the band managed to press onto the early 2020s and put out another album
@@peteranserin3708 As rhythm guitarists go, Malcolm Young is very highly regarded in guitarist circles. Being at three AC/DC shows myself, it was that driving groove of drums, bass and rhythm guitar that gave an entire audience happy feet. I’m a big fan of all the “guitar gods” from the 70’s to now, and I think Malcolm was as good as anyone at what he did. Your unkind comment tells me that’s not why you’re here anyway. Trolls just like to ruffle feathers. Rock on. ☮☮
Totally agree. It was a relief when my dad died. I didn't want him going through it any longer than necessary. He's been gone 10 years this Feb and I still miss him.
The bond between Angus and Malcolm is truly unmatched. Malcolm may have passed away, but Angus is still creating music with his brother's soul in present.
When Angus Young cried it defined a before and after moment for me! Naturally I cried with him. He is a living legend, a hero, and most importantly he is a brilliant human being!
Dementia is a truly awful thing that is probably much, much harder on the family than the person suffering from it. Hard not to get choked up seeing the pain in Angus describing how hard it was. RIP Malcolm Young
The tears really came out for me when she turn to Brian and to see Brian taking it all in in silence is what really got me. The band loved him and so did millions around the world. Never will be forgotten.
Me too. I've been listening to them for about 50 years, and they feel like family to me. My little grands bang their head to AC/DC, and I bet theirs will, too. 🤟
Speaking as someone who has grown up with and needed Acdc for escapism as much as anything this is so sad to listen to. Love that band so much. Thanks for it all Mal.
Yeah Mal , Angus and Bonn have been with me , throughout my life....lost close friends who partied throughout our early teens to becoming older men.. I cant tell how great i feel when ACDC gets played anywhere.. It takes.me straight back to that crazy 15 yo who ran amok and lived life fullon.. I will forever be indebted to the young brothers.
Oh Ikr!? It's strange, but at this late stage of life, a couple years ago, I "rediscovered" the bands videos, but more importantly, them as people.. their music was always there, growing into my own life, Hwy to Hell and Scorpions Lovedrive, my first cassettes for my car, after getting driver's license '78?.ish?. I never knew how unique and funny, down to earth, and young they were. I've just fallen completely in love with them, deep regard.. truly.
Man, if that interview doesn’t hit u like a sledgehammer to ur soul, u have no soul. When loved ones go, the pain never leaves you and yes, the decline from what they once were is devastating. Thank u Malcolm RIP......may AC/DC live forever .
Hard to to see how much Angus misses his beloved brother. Also during live both men would praise each other. “My brother is better than Mick Jagger” Malcolm said with sincere pride in his eyes. I think when Angus would have passed away earlyer than AC/DC had now stopped existing. But Angus makes albums with songs that Malcolm mostly wrote. To honor his great brother. Respect!!! Thank you Young brothers and thankyou AC/DC for the music.
Very sad to hear Angus talk about losing his brother and hearing his voice crack with tears in his eyes....Brian too. Dementia is a horrendous, cruel condition to live with. For the person with it and their loved ones, who can only look on helplessly.
It was hard to watch Angus break down here, watching my lifetime heroes getting older and die. In my heart they will allways stay young as their music will be 💔♥️
Seeing Angus get emotional was a side never seen, but it was so heart wrenching especially since you could see the love Angus had for Mal. True brothers they were, never fought, always supported each other, and looked up to one another. But my heart broke when I found out George AND Malcolm passed within a few weeks of each other, and especially the funeral. But as Eddie Van Halen says: “I will always be with you. just push play.” Couldn’t be more true with Van Halen or AC/DC. We know Mal is always with us in spirit. Same with Bon
Seeing Angus choke up like that actually brought tears to my eyes because I can relate to him. In 2015, I lost my dad to cancer and what Angus said is absolutely correct: the decline is much more painful than the passing. I always saw Brian as the emotional and sensitive one, but seeing Angus breaking down like that is shocking and much more painful to the heart. I can tell Brian was trying to keep it together as best he could.
Something to remember, dementia is much worse than other causes of death. because it destoy's a person's brain, and a person with this illness can suffer from the effects of the illness for many years before they die. Malcolm Young suffered from these effects a much shorter amount time than most people do. and it's less common for it to happen to a person that is younger. it usually happens to the elderly and the effects of dementia are devastating it's a terrible illness.
I lost my dad very suddenly a few years ago, he was fit as a fiddle and dropped dead from an aneurism. I always thought it was a bit of a blessing in disguise, that I didn't have to watch him suffer, decline, lose who he was as a person. I guess it was a trade-off... I couldn't say goodbye or say the things I always wanted to say, but he left this world as the strong man I remember him to be. And that was a gift, of sorts. I'm sorry to hear about your father, may he rest in peace.
Nothing more tragic than a genius musician that was the driving force behind one of the best rock bands ever who couldn’t even remember his own music at the end. In a way, his passing was a blessing; or, at least, a release from his pain. Rest easy, Malcolm!
He would not have been in any pain, that is one of the things about dementia, the pain is for those who love the person with dementia, but you are right about the passing, a blessing for those that get left behind.
@@onecookieboy That isn't particularly true either. Nobody really understands the pain of seeing people in a room and knowing that you know them but having no clue who they actually are to you, or when waking up in a room completely unfamiliar to you, perhaps not even knowing your own name. That would drive me mad. I watched my grandmother deal with it for years and I could really see the pain she was in knowing she was losing control of her mental faculties.
what is worse is that he lost George in october 2017 and then only a month later he lost Malcolm. I am sure that it felt like you received a very strong punch and then another one when you didn't even recover from the previous one. Maybe not the best comparison but you got what I meant... I can't imagine how he must've felt inside, probably like he was being ripped apart from there... RIP George, Bon and Malcolm
The Young family have bought so much joy to millions of people. Rarely a day passes without this 54yo Aussie playing a few AC/DC favourites. Thanks boys, your still providing the soundtrack to my life.
Malcolm definitely was the best. It was the saddest day of my life when he passed. Obviously I could not imagine how Angus felt.I remember reading about it on my phone, I did not get out of bed for about 45 minutes crying. Because I felt like somebody had died that was in my family.
Seeing Angus get emotional almost got me teary-eyed. That tells you something. You can even tell through Brian's body language that even he was deeply affected by Malcolm's death too.
Aloha, I can so relate to this as I lost my father to Alzheimer’s. And yes, my Dad would have a big smile for me whenever I came to visit him,and sometimes he would even compliment me on my hair or outfit🥲. I am very grateful that I went to visit my Dad everyday towards the end and that I spent the last three years of his life with him. Also,I am extremely grateful that I was with him as he passed😭I love you Daddy. Angus, you are an amazing human being. I respect you and love you and Malcpom’s music so much. Thank you for keeping your brother’s legacy alive 🎸🙏🏻🎶🎤🎼💙💛❤️
It's hard seeing your heroes get emotional, but at the end of the day they are human too and feel everything we do. RIP Malcolm, you are missed dearly.
It is. I’ve never seen Angus in any kind of mood other than happy and joking with that laugh of his. So hard to watch. I was in tears for both him Mal.
Angus my condolences 💐 RIP Malcolm as a percussionist ad a fellow musician to Malcolm you made this World 🌍 🌎 a better place Thank you and my sympathies to the extended Family of AC/DC
My grandfather had dementia. What Angus Young said is 100% true. The end is bittersweet in a way, one of the saddest days of my life but I was at the same time happy for him since he didnt have to suffer any longer, its the decline that hurts the most.
I Feel the emotional pain too as I lost my brother in 1984 but hearing you singing and strumming is bring us all a joyful reminder of how great you all are ⚡️AC⚡️DC⚡️Power UP Lads‼️
Two brothers who stood on top of the world together and that together rocked the world. To achieve such heights with your brother next to you is all anyone can ask for. Malcolm is gone, but what a life and what a legacy, not just of music, but of brotherhood. They flat out rocked the world and the music they made together lives on forever.
Damn, this broke my heart, I’m literally bawling. My dad got diagnosed with Alzheimers 4 years ago, he was doing ok living at home with my step mother, just a bit confused and couldn’t go out by himself but other than that he was pretty fine. But in February he had a bad fall and broke his hip bone and got an infection in his lungs. That sped the process up quickly, he needed medical help like 24/7 so then he had to move out to a nursery home. He is now in a wheelchair, he doesn’t speak much other than «hi», «yes», «no». At best. On a good day I can tell by his face that he recognizes me and my 2 year old son, he smiles and reaches his arm to my son and he just lights up. On a bad day he barely turns his head and is just blank. He’s just like a shadow of himself, it’s truly awful to witness a person that has been a hero to you since you were a kid become so helpless and losing themself more and more every day. Everytime I’m going over to visit I have to mentally prepare myself for what I’m walking into. Will he recognize me, smile and give me a nod? Or stare at me blankly or not look at me at all? It’s really agonizing, I wouldn’t wish this for anyone. Not even my worst enemy. Take care of your loved ones people ❤️
Crying like a baby for Angus.......I hope he knows that millions of people love him, & we all feel his pain......RIP Malcolm ❤ ❤ ❤ Forever in our hearts!!!
So hard watching this. Sad watching Angus pour out his emotions and even sadder watching Brian holding back his tears. Its a blessing having come this far in their career and still make fantastic music at their age. God bless all past and present band members.
To the world's greatest rock n roll band- The world lost a living legend but his spirit lives on. I give my sincere condolences to Angus, Brian, AC/DC crew and his entire family.
It’s impossible to ever measure the sheer joy these two brothers brought to the world. If they could tap into the energy from that joy it would power a planet. Doctors should prescribe AC/DC for depression. Sheer, unadulterated joy.
Breaks my heart every time I watch this, thinking that as much as I miss Malcolm, how it feels for Angus, the family and the rest of the band, it must be infinitely worse. Will never forget you, Mal.
So sad to see a legend like Angus get emotional. But just as Jim said, we're all human first. We tend to perceive our heros as something more than that, and forget they are real people and have very real problems like the rest of us. It's very sobering. To see the band push on is fantastic. They love what they do and love to make their fans happy. 👍🤘
AC/DC is a very resilient group, they have had quite a number of tragedies happen to them over the year's. along with Malcolm Young dying from dementia they also lost Bon Scott due to alcoholism. there was an issue lnvolving the law and drug's where their drummer where he had to leave the group for a period of time. and Brian Johnson had an issue with his hearing that forced him to leave the group for a period of time. but by a stroke of luck there was a medical professional that was able to perform a medical treatment on him. which allowed him to return to the group. along with some other more minor issues the group has experienced over the years. and with everything that has happened to them they have proven that they have no give up in them. and their latest album is proof of that it's brilliant. the group deserves a lifetime achievement award for their ability to bounce back from adversity so well. the only other group to-do this was Lynrd Skynrd. they bounced back from adversity many times until eventualy they lost all the members of the group.
@@musicauthority703 RUSH is another band that fought through some hard times starting in 1997 when Neil Peart lost his daughter in a car accident, and then his wife just a few months later to cancer. Neil pretty much lost it when that happened. And what did he do? He took a one year plus journey across all of North America and Canada with just himself and his BMW motorcycle. During that time he had written and released his book Ghost Rider... several more books would later emerge from Neil crediting him with a substantial amount of written works to his credit Geddy Lee worked on and released his solo album, My Favorite Headache, in 2001. Then one day Neil showed up at Geddy's place and said to him, "I think it's time I found some gainful employment..." Their 2002 album Vapor Trails would be released followed by their first outing since 1997 in support of the album, and to celebrate Neil's return. The band was back in their old groove again cranking out albums and being on the road taking little time away from it But then 2015 hits... and while they planned on their 40th anniversary tour to be elaborate and extensive, several dates were scratched off the list due to Neil's ailments becoming more and more difficult for him to deal with. His body just couldn't take the physical punishment of drumming several nights per week, and all while traveling to each gig on his motorcycle like he had done for many years often going with little rest along the way And then came the diagnosis that Neil had a very aggressive cancer that would inevitably take his life. And the thing was that only those closest to him knew of his condition, as per his wishes. He didn't want the world "making a fuss" as he put it. Geddy and Alex were sworn to secrecy, and it was very difficult for both of them to not talk about it... but they kept it secret all the way until the end in January 2020 And then just over 1 year later, Geddy loses his mother right before her 96th birthday. And then most recently, he and Alex lost Taylor Hawkins unexpectedly. They were very close with him and Dave Grohl, and Dave's mother was close with Geddy's mother as well. The two of them were often seen together at both Foo Fighters and RUSH gigs, which is very cool to know So yeah... AC/DC and RUSH... oh, and Van Halen when Eddie passed in 2020 as well. I feel for his son, Wolfgang due to all the shitty comments he recieves from long time Van Halen fans... men in their 50's and older saying some of the worst things one can say to someone upon losing their father, or anyone else close. And I have to say, Wolf impresses the hell out of me with his resilience. He has his band, Mammoth WVH, and not only is he doing well with it, but he's doing it the way he wants to do it. These shitty fans... they expect Van Halen all over again, which is just ridiculous and insensitive. It also displays just how dumb they are with that one-track-minded kind of mentality... basically pouting because Van Halen is over, and they can't accept it
I watched this again, and I still wish I could give him a big giant hug. I’ve never lost a sibling and I hope I never do but I lost my father. So I kind of know how he feels. On Malcolm‘s birthday last year when my dad had cancer he died. He wanted to be a guitar player himself but he never made it famous .He tried so hard but reality hit when he had kids with my mom, so I am taking it upon myself to pursue his dream. Technically it’s both of our dream because ever since I was a little girl I have had a keen passion for music. AC/DC have always been my number one favorite. Well now I know what he’s been thru sort of. Sister got killed in a car crash. I didn’t see it and that’s good but I still miss her every day and don’t have the heart to delete her number but my mother man she was worse when she found out. Almost did lose her job but didn’t because she had to keep it for us or we would be homeless again as we were when our house burnt in 2015. She’s working on getting one so all of us minus one sadly can be there. But seeing Angus and Brian sad I know he wasn’t on as long as Angus ? But you know he had to be sad sort of and I saw the funeral photos of Brian and all of them crying really? It made me wish I could give them all a big hug but I knew it would be disrespectful because first of all I’m not family or a friend of them or that I know of? And I’m not from Australia I wish I was ? I’m a Southern American lot of similarities between us Australians seem more nicer than us? But there’s still a lot of similarities. I wish I could have made Angus not cry during this.
The best rock and roll band ever, a group of guys without pretentions who clearly loved each other as well as what they did. Lives well lived. Highway to Heaven.
AC/DC. The band I grew up with since elementary school. I'm 59 years old here in 2022. I still listen them all the time. Bon Scot's It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock n Roll......to Who Made Who.....Thunderstruck..Rock n Roll Train, .......and countless others. They rocked the world and still do.
You only live once, the Young brothers lived their lives to give us all the soundtrack to our lives, we should follow that example and Let it Rock, you could die tomorrow, Bon and Malcolm live every time you feel the Music. All things must pass, George Harrison. Cherish them today.
Malcolm's contribution to Rock n, Roll will be with us for many generations what a legacy he left just totally amazing ,For those about to rock we salute you..RIP mal
I had heard that Malcolm was actually dealing with his health issues during the Black Ice Tour and Angus had to help him relearn songs they had been playing over and over for years and it’s really sad and I’m still sad he’s gone
My mom died Nov 2014. She had diabetes since she was 2 years old. She was on dialysis for 5 years. She had 3 heart attacks & was in the final stages of dimentia. At the end my dad never left her side other than to get cleaned up & change cloths. My mom was the sweetest lady & very devout christian. Towards the end she was like Jekyll & hyde. She'd be herself & like a flick of a switch she would just get a mean streak & just cuss everybody out. She was affraid to be alone & if you left for 5 minutes she just came unglued & thought everybody abandoned her & hadn't visited her in months. My dad said he was sitting with her when she went. They were talking & she looked at my dad & said oh lord that is beautiful I need to go with them & that quick she was gone.
Been there Angus, been there. No matter who you are, we all feel the same watching close loved one slowly leave when they're right in front of us. It is a relief. God Bless
My throat started hurting and my eyes started tearing up when i saw the look on Angus's face and heard his voice get unsteady. I have always loved Malcolm, and he may not be my brother but it sure feels like it. Like of you agree.
Omg this is the first time in my life that Angus Young has made me cry 💔😢 Heartbreaking!! These 2 were connected at the hip!! Don't leave out Brian, he's obviously in some deep pain as Angus is talking, just look at his facial expressions! Damn I'll never watch this clip again .. RIP Mal 😇🎸🎙 LongLiveACDC !!! 😈 #PWR⚡#UP
I know if it were my brother I would be wrecked and sad just like Angus........... but I will always remember Malcolm in my heart and soul and each time I hear AC/DC play music .......
Having been in my teens in the late 1970s I grew up rocking with these guys, honestly I still have not gotten over Bons death, I was wrecked, we lost John Bohnam right around that time as well. I saw them in I believe 1977-78 at an amusement park in Warwick Rhode Island called Rocky Point , now Malcolm is gone, Bon is gone Rocky Point is gone but my memories stay. Thanks for all the great music.
You just want to break down and cry when you see this..Look over at Brian..he couldn't even look at the Camera.. You have to remember it wasn't just Malcolm but also Angus's other Brother george who passed away three weeks earlier prior to Malcolm.
And also George Young, their older brother, who helped ac/dc so much with their first few albums (and also with Blow Up Your Video and Stiff Upper Lip). He was also in the ‘60’s band The Easybeats. Obviously a huge influence on Malcolm & Angus.
Gotta say eyes watered on this one. Not very often we see our rock god heroes reveal that kind of emotion. Thank you Angus (and the band) for 40 years of the greatest music. I have many memories tied to their songs. Long live AC/DC
I shed tears tonight watching this. Angus and Brian are real stand up guys and as a 41 year old male loving ACDC since 1995 or so this just breaks my heart ❤️
Losing 2 brothers myself I truly feel Angus's pain. To see him so hurt breaks my heart No matter how big of star ,no Matter how much money nothing helps that pain .
Angus looks so quiet and even shy but when he's on stage he transforms himself into a complete amazing "monster". As my sister use to say: "God save me from the tranquil waters"
Having lost my grandaunt, my grandfather's sister to dementia over a decade ago was a horrible time for my whole family. She didn't have kids and lost her husband when both myself and my brother were kids. She absolutely loved every one of us. Remembered our birthdays and special occasions. Her mind was as sharp as a tack before she was diagnosed. My mother was a primary carer for her, and I called to see her one day. My mother was distracted with me and my aunt sneaked out of her bedroom. She didn't know I was there and she came into the kitchen. She saw me and she looked like she had seen the devil. She clawed and screamed at me, and I had to leave. It was a frightening experience and a horrible introduction to dementia first hand. I don't know how you are doing Angus, but plenty of people have had similar experiences. Don't think your alone, your not. Just please Angus, be safe. Take care of yourself. Keep the music going, in these times it's more important than you think. Peace.
Thank you for everything Mal, your Ac⚡Dc, your creation, your baby gave and still gives the world a lot of joy. Your truely missed brother, keep the heaven's Pwrd⚡Up 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Being a acdc fan for years hurts me seeing Angus young sad and depressed I mean he looks so alive and energetic at stage it's hard to see him like this
There’s a book coming out March of next year titled Malcolm young the man who made AC/DC .... I can’t wait to read it . I’m a very curious person who appreciates greatness no matter who or what . From Michael Jackson to Kobe Bryant to these guys ... AC/DC and Malcolm and angus young are two of the best to ever pick up a guitar... period. To me it always sounded like their were 3 guitar players... and yes watching this short clip I cried .... rip Malcolm young thank you for the great music along with your band mates .
