Malcolm Young, the guitarist who, with his brother Angus, cofounded one of the most massively popular hard rock bands ever, has died at age 64. Young retired from AC/DC in 2014 due to the effects of dementia.

The Young brothers had a huge impact on my musical tastes back in High School.

R.I.P. Malcolm

It's hard to believe that it's been nearly 40 years since Bon's death.  Rest easy, Malcolm. :(

Back in the day, I watched a concert on Video Tape, and for the life of me can’t remember the name of it. Bon was the singer and they interviewed members of the band between some of the songs. The interviewer asked Angus who the better guitar player was, him or Malcolm, and Angus said, “Malcolm, but playing lead would interfere with his drinking”. Then they all laughed.
