[QUOTE=BassMasta2487]Well, the story goes that Malcolm was going to play lead, but he told Angus to do it because playin lead would interfere with his drinking. And considering that he taught Angus guitar...[/QUOTE]
Malcolm didn't teach Angus, both Malcolm and Angus learned b themselves and with some help from their older brother George. And while that first statement you made is true, I wasn't saying that, I was saying that in the studio when Angus couldn't get a lead to wok out that Malcolm played it and Malcolm usually nailed it first try, so then Angus would have to try to top him, or atleast do as good as him. :thumb:

heres a little trivia....
does any one know what angus's first instrument was? (besides his hofner as a kid)

bagpipes? Or was that Bon?

bon played bagpipes. heres a hint**he modified it to become something it wasnt**

Wasn't it a ten doller acoustic that his mom got for him, and another for Malcolm?

nope. good guess though

It was a Banjo he made into a guitar wasn't it.

:chug: yep.

another one...where was angus's first gig at?

edit*** not acdc, but just angus

[QUOTE=classicrockman]And BB King (who's on tour) is 79!!! :amaze:

But all of those guy's music has become less heavy.[/QUOTE]

AC/DC in their seventies performing, now that would be a laugh.

BB King sits in a chair on stage these days.

I doubt Angus could contain himself to sitting in a chair... he'll still manage to hit off a few duck walks... and a few hips.

Was it at Victoria Park in Sydney?

Didn't he play School dances when he was first starting out in '71 with his first band Tantrum?

I meant he taught him in the sense that he told him the names of chords, and usually was the first to play his parts before he ever did in the studio. I knew he didn't litterally teach Angus to play.

it was at a church.his freind was talking to a music director and he said they needed a guitarist, so his freind recommended him. when angus started playing, it was way too loud and they didnt enjoy his distorted tone, so they told him to"turn that d*mn thing down"

he was using a small amp that he bought for 60 bucks(or somewhere in that price range) and it would turn the tubes blue after a while. not sure of the brand though.

does anybody else have any trivia ?'s???

I like AC/DC, except for any album after Back in Black.....

Oh...I got a trivia question.

What was the first band that Cliff Williams recorded with? (somebody will get this, I'm sure. It's not terribly difficult)

I'm pretty sure it was Home.

this isn't exactly going along with the trivia but insn't malcom the most underated guitarists ever. Slipknot, System of a down, and Nirvana get more recognition for having good guitarists and all they do is play power chords and everything else that takes no skill.

No, a lot of people on here (including myself) think that Malcolm is a far more accomplished guitar player then Angus, and a lot of people also say that Daron Malakian sp?, Jim Root, Mick Thomson, and Curt Kobain are mediocre guitar players.

i think malcolm and angus are about the same now but malcolm used to be ahead of angus on the guitar imo. i have to agree w/ reaper about the mediocre guitar players also.

i bet malcom could still open up a can of whupazz when he and angus get in a guitar dual.............

I knew someone would get it. Id've been dissapointed if that one went unanswered, it's pretty easy.

I don't know.

And I thought I was a big AC/DC fan. :lol:

it was a 2. he bought it in london while on tour.the owner sold it to him with a good deal b/c noone wanted it because of the strange wood grain

[QUOTE=maddog87]it was a 2. he bought it in london while on tour.the owner sold it to him with a good deal b/c noone wanted it because of the strange wood grain[/QUOTE]
Was it a red SG or a black one?

red(worn cherry)

I'm pretty sure that 99% of the SG's he ever bought or owned were red. I've seen one picture of him with a white one, and one video where he uses a black one. Other than that...

He uses black on the Donnington DVD and a red uniform, just a colour swap.

Trivia: Who pulled a flick knife on Malcolm whilst on tour with AC/DC in Sweden in the February of 1977?

Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath. And Mal probably won.

there was no fight geezer got brought back to his room. was reading an interview with Angus and they asked him "how many SGs do you have" and Angus replied "I dunno its in the hundreds now I lost count years ago"

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]AC/DC are one of my favourite bands. They have an easily identifiable sound, a terrific stage presence, and their songs, while simple, are very well thought out and great to listen to. And musical technicality doesn't equal a great musician. While we all respect Steve Vai, Yngwie, et al, a good musician doesn't have to play fast, complicated music to be recognised as great.[/QUOTE]

That's it. You stole the same words from my tongue ! :thumb:

ive got one...

what was bon scott dared to do for ten dollars in 78?he was crazy for doing this!!..

Jumping out of a hotel room into the pool? I don't remember what floor. I want to say fifth or third.

apartment into a pool which lead to Angus threatening the guy who dared him to do this

Yeah, I read that in Highway to Hell, a biography. What did Bon's old bus driver do for a stereo system?

[QUOTE=ScorpSath]I really don't like them.[/QUOTE]




then why are you on this thread !?
