"The real art is making the complex simple". Angus speaks the truth.

You can tell Angus really holds Malcolm in very high esteem. He never wastes any time telling people how smart Malcolm was as the leader of the band. The fact Angus still talks to Mal and George in his head (metaphorically speaking) is just super powerful to me. It shows how influential Malcolm Young truly was as a musician, he really was the creative impetus behind AC/DC, and Angus just wants to keep the band going and try and keep it up to his brother’s standards, and I find that extremely admirable. Cheers Angus 🍻

I would love to see a documentary about Malcolm Young.

I have massive respect for Brian coming back after such a sour situation with his hearing. Class act number one. No human like him.

These guys saved 2020 from being a total waste. LOVE them!

The "audio dude" who helped B.J with his hearing needs a big thanks from the fans, without him there would be no PWR⚡️UP.

God I love their accents, especially Brian’s. The music is one thing but Brian’s Geordie accent is like honey and gunpowder.

ACDC will always be Malcom Young's band. Not many people know what an accomplished Jazz guitarist he was. As a rhythm player he could solo the house down, but as band leader, the rhythm section was too important. RIP Malcom, what a massive contribution to art.

I died when he said "the crowd is having such a massive party before the show that we just go on and spoil it".
Also I love how cool they are talking about Malcolm. They're not super emotional they just talk about how good he was and the memories they had with him.

“If it doesn’t swing, It doesn’t mean a thing.” Brian Johnson AC⚡️DC swings, and that is what makes us love them, and their music!

So glad Phil Rudd is back with them. There is no one that has his feel on the kit. No one. Period.

Gotta say I’ve never seen angus or Bryan open up this much in an interview

I felt so bad for Angus when he lost both George and Malcolm less than three weeks apart from each other. I was sadder knowing that Malcolm didn't even know George passed away, due to his dementia.
