Way, way too young. Young, who along with brother Angus, co-founded Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band AC/DC in Australia in 1973, nailed down the rhythm guitar parts, providing the group’s rock-solid power-chord backing to Angus’s all-world, searing guitar leads. He’d been suffering from dementia for the past three years and his sudden departure from the group in 2014 as their “Rock or Bust” tour loomed came as a shock to hard-rock fans the world over.
Malcom was also preceded in death by his older brother Georgie – who was guitarist for the 1960s rock band The Easybeats as well as AC/DC’s longtime producer – in October.
Today, it’s time to dust off the Strat and play a range of power-chord AC/DC licks in Malcolm Young’s honor.

Only 64 and gets dementia. My mother passed away with this two years ago but she was 90. I wonder if the rock n roll lifestyle had anything to do with it? But then maybe not as Keith Richards would have been gone years ago.

And we really do need to start thinking about what sort of world we’re going to leave for ol’ Keith, eh?

I know he had a drinking problem but as far as I know no drugs, so it’s hard to say if his drinking played a roll, just way to young. RIP.
Sucks. Highway to Hell was the record that really got me into metal. Was my first vinyl I think. Also inspired to learn to play guitar since I could pick up most of the cords by ear and the tuning was easy enough to figure out. Thanks for riffs, Malcolm…

Yeah, totally sucks. Highway to Hell was definitely my first vinyl. I still remember my Mom’s disgust at the album cover when we bought it at the record store–with the horns and tail and all. She did say I could buy anything. lol. I love AC/DC.

My mom took a look at the album and said, “You know that AC/DC means they are bisexual, don’t you?” HAHAHA
