Angus Young

"Angus Young's frantic over-the-top soloing has sparked many of AC/DC's biggest tunes. But beneath the reckless theatrics and naughty schoolboy images lurks a skilled guitarist."

"I love the music from Nat King Cole, BB King, Albert King... When I think of it, I wouldn't mind being renamed Angus King."

"If it was happening, I'd call it Heavenly Beast. If it wasn't happening, I usually call it Arsehole."

"I don't like to play above or below people's heads. Basically, I just like to get up in front of a crowd and rip it up."

"We want to appeal to everyone and get rich quick. We want to be millionaires. I've got this plan to buy Tasmania you see..."

"It's just rock and roll. A lot of times we get criticized for it. A lot of music papers come out with: 'When are they going to stop playing these three chords?' If you believe you shouldn't play just three chords it's pretty silly on their part. To us, the simpler a song is, the better, 'cause it's more in line with what the person on the street is."

"We're a rock group. We're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird."

"You should hear me on my own. It’s horrendous. I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, Geez, this is ridiculous.’"

"I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same."

"The best AC/DC cover I've heard? There was an all-girl cover band in America, the Hell's Belles."

"Meine Frau sagt, sie erkennt ein Riff der Rolling Stones sofort an den klassischen drei Akkorden. Sehr schön, sag’ ich dazu, aber viel zu aufwendig."
