Always the same comments when it comes to Mal Young. I want to know from you guys why? Can you give a statement of the subject or are you all just repeating what others have said a 1000 times before?
@@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522 are you referring to those who say hes the greatest rhythm guitar player ever? Or me who said he wasn't? I think there are a lot of die hard ACDC fans who dont really have a wide knowledge of other bands and players. They like them because you can always count on ACDC to make an ACDC kioe album. Malcolm is cool but theres so many better out there.
There it is....man that fuckin' riff goes off !..,.one of the most naturally gifted , toughest , tightest , smoothest and most ferocious of soul and tone driven masters of rock 'n roll rythym guitarists in history . Thankyou Malcolm.
The way he attacks those strings is unbeliavable. You can feel him destroying them, for moments sounds like if it was going to explode. This is a fantastiv lesson for any aspiring guitar player.
Mal used extra heavy picks. I saw an interview with Angus where he said that the floor around Mal would be littered with pieces of all of the picks that he would shred during a show.
I think he is unquestionably the best for one simple reason, and that's the fact that the bands riffs and overall tone is so instantly recognizable, and stayed the same all through the decades. Mal is the reason when an AC/DC song starts playing, you instantly know who it is.
Fascinating to hear thinking this is played live, not built up in the studio. How Malcolm pushes ahead then steps back, going from the 5ths power chords to adding in the higher 3rds later then backing off again, muting, going full open, all while interacting with each bandmate in the song, there’s so much going on here. Just amazing.
And people say that their music is simple, they obviously know nothing about music to think that . I consider Malcolm to be one of the greatest composers not just a brilliant guitarist
Goosebumps from the get go. Perfect tone, perfect strum power, perfect palm mute "thunks" in between chords (1:10 - 1:27). Thanks for the Master Class, Mal!
@@chrisrobinson8163 I wouldn't say worst, it's different. I had always the feeling there's just a little too much gain, but it's still great. I don't like the mix of the Live album tho, the DVD from Donigton sounds much better
@@chrisrobinson8163 I kinda like it. It complements the Razors Edge Album well. I will admit the higher gain tone doesn't work for some songs but it sounds great in this one, especially Malcoms part
During the part that starts at 3:13, seems like he follows Angus rather than keeping time with Slade. There are other times in these isolated Malcolm clips where that seems to be the case. It would be great to hear isolated tracks where Rudd is present. Would probably click with a lot of people as to why Phil is the band’s real groove.
All my life I heard people say Great lead players are dime a dozen , but the find one that is a True Rhythm Guitarist --that is amazing!!!.. a great Rhythm Guitarist can do much embellishing and do a different type of lead all in Rhythm chords !!
Could you isolated river plate malcolm young thunderstruck ? Please Sorry for my English but I really want to hear that concert isolated with his vocals
It's well known by now, but I'm still fascinated every time I hear how clean his tone is. The first assumption would be this would be heavily distorted, but presumably it's basically the amp really cranked up, no other effects. Shows how much a good player can get out of not so much sophisticated gear.
Malcolm and this vid are so inspiring. I have been playing similar to Mal for years and not realizing it. I play 11's and attack the strings with percussive strumming. He plays 12s and is all about the rhythm and tone.
Malcom was so heavy with his attack yet it was also so precise at the same time. Just look at his guitar, it looks pristine. I feel like if I was playing that hard I’d leave pick scratches on the finish from where I’m hitting the body.
I think this is the only tour he played through Mesa boogie equipment. You can see the cabs behind him. I read somewhere he was playing through Mesa mark 3 heads. He's known for playing through old Marshall super bass and lead heads. I noticed from the ballbreaker tour forward he has a cleaner sound.
Thought Angus was the one messing with boogie gear on this tour his tone definitely wasn't marshal at all .. I think Malcolm was already messing with wizard heads and the usual super bass and plexis
@@Diesel0807 I know because the Cabs behind Malcolm say Messa Boggie and I saw an interview with a former Rodie who worked with AC/DC and confrimed that on the 91 tour they used Messa Cabs both Angus and Malcolm but the Heads were still Marshall
Bass and drums are traditionally thought of as the rhythm section in a rock band. Not when Malcolm Young is your rhythm guitarist. That is an absolute masterclass in how to drive a rock song.
Because it highlights ever nuance and most aren’t as good as Malcolm. It’s a tough sound to play as all your mistakes will be right there. Nowhere to hide.
The greatest rhythm guitarist of all time!
Well......
Hes great no doubt. But hetfield and townshend are in there too i feel.
Malcolm is the riff master, genius use of open space, groove and impeccable timing.

Enough said brother!!!! Mal lives on in these riff masterpieces
This riff, this particular one, shows how violent he could get. I mean, right from the get go, it's pure violence...
Watching Mal just go berserk on any live performance of shoot to thrill is captivating and a show in and of itself
The most laid back rock n roll badass ever!!!!
Poor strings…
Oh well, after this they became Gibson impure nickel strings
The way he attacks those strings is unbeliavable. You can feel him destroying them, for moments sounds like if it was going to explode. This is a fantastiv lesson for any aspiring guitar player.
He's playing super heavy strings so he can get away with hammering on them like that.

@@GG-fi2sx I always thought about that Petty / Malcolm connection ;-)
Not only was he a great guitarist, but he had the best hair I've ever seen.
that hair was full of rockstar energy that's why
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😂😂😂😂😂😂yes he did.🖤🎸🖤🎸🖤rip
@@michelleleisey3931 RIP
No wonder he never cut it off! Haha
I think Malcolm is the only rhythm guitarist known for being a great rhythm guitar player, and that says something.
Yep, he and James hetfield
Keith Richards, Izzy Stradlin, Steve Van Zandt, Russel Javors...
I think he is unquestionably the best for one simple reason, and that's the fact that the bands riffs and overall tone is so instantly recognizable, and stayed the same all through the decades. Mal is the reason when an AC/DC song starts playing, you instantly know who it is.
... Eddie Van Halen?
@@TheDgmccool hes a lead guitarist
Best right hand in the business. Vale
The best guitar tone in rock and roll.
DIVINO!!!!!!
Holy shit, that Gretsch sure is a Beast of a guitar to take a beating like this every night. No wonder Mal used to need dozens of picks every show.
He named it the beast
@mr.nobody68 uh huh. Beast 2 was his backup and Stevie now plays it. Legendary!!!
Malcolm’s guitar was the power in AC/DC, sadly missed. What a player,what a powerful tone . 👍👍
Malcolm Young and Phil Rudd comprise the best rhythm section in rock n roll history; they are human metronomes!
Fascinating to hear thinking this is played live, not built up in the studio.

Bare in mind a lot of the tracks from Donington wretr actually re-recorded in studio. Not this one, but many of them
Goosebumps from the get go. Perfect tone, perfect strum power, perfect palm mute "thunks" in between chords (1:10 - 1:27). Thanks for the Master Class, Mal!
Don't know. Kinda sounds like me when I get home drunk at 1am and take my frustrations out on my toy guitar.
The reason i play rhythm 🥳
His rhythm guitar playing will live for years to come…..he set the bar on how it should be done. The best.
Absolute perfection from the greatest rhythm guitarist ever, The Late Malcolm Young (R.I.P).
Best right hand in rock!
Please more from Donington!
Great! I Play a Gretsch Guitar an the Sound of Malcolm ist great!
Thank you!
Why? That was their worst sounding guitar tone

Yeah so underrated. Angus the GOAT

@@gitaarmovies2003 Angus? nah
@@gitaarmovies2003 bruh tf are you talking about? Angus didn’t died

Oh man! Perfect tone and execution. Amp tuned to the verge of break up and then controlled by the hands. Master class by the master of rock rhythm.
Exactly

That’s my favorite guitar sound! It’s just glorious. 🔊💨🤠👍
Insanely good. Legend. There will never be another rhythm guitarist like this.
I love him. I love Ac Dc.
I played ever the rhythm and the solos but now, i love to play the rhythm more than the solos.
Rip Mal! You rule!
Me ocurre lo mismo....me tire q la ritmica!!! Y malcolm cono fuente de inspiracion!!!!
Amazing consistency, probably best ever rhythm player ever.
ACDC is on of soundtracks of my excellent childhood.
And his guitar....
"Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum" (c)
Exactly about him!
This is my favorite song to play. Thank you for all of these songs
All my life I heard people say Great lead players are dime a dozen , but the find one that is a True Rhythm Guitarist --that is amazing!!!.. a great Rhythm Guitarist can do much embellishing and do a different type of lead all in Rhythm chords !!
HOW TF can you dislike this?
Thanks for this.
The man was definitely a legend.
RIP M. Y⚡⚡⚡💥💥💥
What a gift to all
Malcolm for ever!
RIP
How cool is that!!!! Wooohooo!
The average guitarist: I need bigger badder better pickups!!!!!
Malcolm: I like my one pickup, thank you.
close my eyes and the maestro is still here
This is my favorite song to play because of Mal. RIP
this is what i needed lmao
and steady as a clock.......miss you Mal.
Wow i had no idea it was so rhythmically complicated like that in the beginning.
Un attacco violentissimo ,suono e stile unico ,brividi...grazie Malcolm❤
Definitely a solid rhythm guitarist….one of the best! Rip
Pure rock and roll!!
Just an awesome guitar player
Could you isolated river plate malcolm young thunderstruck ? Please
Sorry for my English but I really want to hear that concert isolated with his vocals
Live in Madrid 96 his tone on thunderstruck was insane
He already did that on his channel
F-ing CHILLS!!! Malcom was awesome!
Am speechless !! u nailed it again and again great job

Love it.
Awesome rhythm guitar, the best
No one will ever be able to comprehend how incredible Malcolm Young could play the guitar! 🤯🔥
Impeccable!
Just fecking gold.
What a machine !
Perfection!
Gods gift to man
very organic!
DANKE, Mal, for the music 🎶🎵🔈🔊
pure energy, Angus was fancy, but Malcolm had the power. Thanks Haksul
Peak Mal - love it
So percussive. Great stuff.
reserved and powerful at the same time
WOW😍
Wooooo boy thats yeah ❤

love the D open chord with the open A string
Mal was busier than i thought on this track🤷♂️
Malcom was so heavy with his attack yet it was also so precise at the same time. Just look at his guitar, it looks pristine. I feel like if I was playing that hard I’d leave pick scratches on the finish from where I’m hitting the body.
The guy definitely knows his A, G, and D chords!
That plectrum is getting shredded..
thank God he had a older brother that helped and taught him allot
Rock legend
Who Made Who please! Magic Riffs there!!!!!!
The True Rock
One hell of a tone.
❤️
Jesus one of a kind
each different instriment is a song within a song
His rhythm playing is like a steam locomotive on cruise control. None more steady & powerful.
Angus said they don’t tickle the strings.
Отличен китарист❤⚡
The dude could do anything you wanted with his cowboy chords .don't ever look down on the cowboy chotds.they brought this genius platinum sales.
4:05 to end: goosebumps
Classic Marshall amp tones.
they used mesa boogie gear in donington

Unparalleled attack.
You can hear some rattle from the strings being too close from the fretboard, which also adds extra attack
AC/DC needs to do Rock Your Heart Out live. Are they waiting? What the hell for? I isolated that song first and foremost.
Bass and drums are traditionally thought of as the rhythm section in a rock band. Not when Malcolm Young is your rhythm guitarist. That is an absolute masterclass in how to drive a rock song.
oh yeah brian and guitar sound in this concert is the best. better than studio recordings by far
What happens when you write for someone other than yourself, holy shit 🔥🔥🔥
"the rhythm's in the guitar man"
Constancy at it's best!
So many subtle details and nuances, you ought to be a really good player to come close to replicating his playing.
He used heavy-gauge strings for good reason.
hello haksul Great Job
i have a question
can you
put the raw vocal tracks on the channel of acdc live donington???

Hard to understand why we don't hear more players emulating the ringing tone of his "great Gretsch sound"
