Very sad, but at least he's no longer suffering from dementia. I love AC/DC! So many great songs, what a great band. Malcolm was a very talented rhythm guitarist.

They could rock like no other band. And who else would have the balls to sing a song about balls?

Dementia at 64.
Why do 'drugs' come to mind? Anyway, never was an AC/DC fan, but I will admit they were at the top for their style yell & scream muzik. RIP. There was another noticeable death in the "sound" industry today - Lil Peep died at 21...not sure of what, yet, but my money is on 'complications from injuries sustained in the Great Crayola War' and opioids and, well...one might wonder if he was getting his innards tattooed...these confused kids these days make me sad. RIP

I "appreciate" AC/DC more than I actually like them.
RIP, Young. |

RIP not so old Mr. Young.
I didn't know this until just now, but there was another Young brother named George, who filled in on bass occasionally but was mostly on the management side of AC/DC, who had been a member of a 60's band called The Easybeats, which had an international hit song that I remember very well from my childhood... All these years and I never suspected that song had a tie-in with AC/DC. Anyway, RIP. |

R.I.P. Malcolm Young. I still enjoy listening to AC/DC, and Malcolm kept the jam going with his great rhythm guitar work.
It shocked that he left us so soon at the age of 64.
