  • Oh man…..I’m so fortunate to have seen AC/DC with Malcolm. What an amazing band. Really awesome at what they do. They’re my favorite and have been since I was 10 years old. I’m 52 ????‍♂️????????

  • Most people think Angus is one of the greatest guitar players. He wasn’t even the best in his family

    Malc was and always will be the backbone of DC

    His riffs were as solid as granite and as smooth as 20 year old McCallan

  • He was the only person who’s natural pick attack was apart of his tone. Half the players go compressor hunting to attempt to achieve that tone and the other half buy expensive noise gates/reducers to get rid of it. ???????????? the dude will always be without a doubt the greatest rhythm guitarist to ever do it. And those are Scott Ian’s opinions so it law

  • That tonal concept is very true.

    I’m a session musician, but I’m also known locally as being someone who gets good tone in the studio, so I get hired by producers on occasion, not to play, but just to dial in tones for the band’s guitarists. The first time it happened, they sent me a bunch of references for the type of guitar sound they wanted to achieve, and it was all this big heavy thick power chord stuff. But they all had these super high gain amps that don’t do anything else. So I go in the studio, with all my own gear, and start dialing in very clean sounds, and tell the players to double track with those and ask the producer to hard-pan them. They looked at me like I was crazy and I’m sure they felt they hired the wrong person. But the producer does all the mixing and mastering for my band as well as everything we produce for other artists, so he asked them to trust me, because he knows I know how to get good tones.

    We double tracked and hard panned two identical rhythm guitars, playing full chords, one pretty clean, but dirty if you dig in, and the other was also very clean and full chords, but on a different pickup. Then one distorted one playing only power chords through a Marshall, very midrangey, with almost zero low end.

    I had tried explaining what I was doing to the band, but they didn’t really “get it” until they heard it. They trusted me and recorded the parts, playing hard just like I had suggested… Then the producer panned them like I asked, and without even really any EQ, mixed in with the bass and drums, it was the heaviest these guys had ever heard their guitars sound. Absolutely massive when it’s all mixed together.

    I learned that directly from AC/DC.

    Malcolm’s sound itself was always very clean with no effects. The heaviness came from the way he played and pushed the amp to breakup that way, mixed with what Angus did. It’s all about the blend.

  • Is always heard not only was Mal a great rhythm guitarist but that he could play leads every bit as good as Ang could!

  • And what's awesome about him as well is he taught Stevie Young everything about his play style. Now Stevie does exactly what Malcom does. After seeing them live, I gotta say, it is truly incredible.

  • Just listen to songs like D.T and Chase the Ace off Who Made Who. I LOVE those instrumentals and would love to hear and have an album of those deep cuts of Mal.and Angus that you hear throughout Maximum Overdrive. I actually love that movie because of the soundtrack. AC/DC in the mid 80's were ripping and at the top of their game as far as playing goes. The may have made better albums in the 70's and early 80's but as far as playing and ripping solos go, Angus was on fire. I've listened to enough bootlegs to make this observation. Jailbreak in Paris 88' sounds like Angus was conjuring spirits, that's how on fire he was.

    Then we get to The Razors Edge which I find to be a phenomenal album and revitalized AC/DC into the stratosphere. When Thunderstruck comes on, Angus's part is what is noticable and upfront, it's what the casual listener zones in on, but it's really Malcolms rhythm which drives that song and it is hard as hell to play properly. I had to find the isolated rhythm track for their Live album to hear all the nuances that people miss. Hardly anyone plays it correctly. When that rhythm kicks in, the hairs on my arm stand on end. Mal,Cliff and Phil are the engine which drives that band. They are the tightest live band I've ever heard.

  • Was listening to Malcolm's isolated guitar on YouTube. Some of what people think Angus played was played by Malcolm. He wasn't just playing rhythm guitar.

  • Malcolm was such a tight player and that’s what people fail to realize. It’s not that he “plays 3 chords” It’s that he’s probably one of the most precise guitar players ever. His timing and everything. He’s also banging the shit out of those strings. It’s a little harder to be accurate when you’re banging away like that. Malcolm also had his fair share of licks on recording. Some are very faint but there’s songs where he’s doing some amazing stuff, you just can’t hear it clearly unless you isolate his channel.

  • Saw him live with the band in 1984 at Monster Of Rock, same day as Mötley Crue and Van Halen.????????

  • Malcolm was, and still is, the real deal.
    There are moments in all of his recordings throughout the bands years that will just pop out at you, like it’s the first time you’ve heard it, or that it is this special moment in the song that is like a hidden gem. And this is what truly gives ac/dc their longevity,
