AC/DC talk about Stevie Young replacing Malcolm Young

Angus Young talks about his brother Malcolm's retirement from AC/DC, and the role that Stevie Young will be playing on their world tour in 2015. Angus and Brian Johnson talk to Christian O'Connell on Absolute Radio about the fact that Stevie replaces Malcolm on their latest album Rock or Bust.

Stevie is a Young, so its in his blood to be a rocker, he's a fine replacement for Malcolm.

[HOLLOWS]

I feel bad for Angus
As much as he appreciates Stevei filling in for Malcolm from now on
You can tell he’ll never get used to it
You can see the sadness in his eyes because of his brother having to leave the band he started with his own brother

I don’t have a brother and I don’t get along with anyone in my family

Angus is my hero
So is Malcolm and Bon

Rock In Piece

[LaMaestra]

I always get the feeling that the whole band has always been really lovely. They never say anything bad about anyone. I remember hearing Malcolm talk about Bon Scott's parents and how sweet he was about it. I will miss him when I think of him for a very long time. These guys were a huge part of my youth.

Nice to see this support. Stevie has filled in really well. it is really amazing that back in 1980 Back in Black was a huge album. Here we are in 2020, literally 40 years later, and they now have the #1 Rock Album in the USA with a huge hit with "Shot in the Dark." There are very few bands you can think of where the members have been performing over 40 years together (and everyone is near the age of 70) and they still can rock as well as they do.

He always gives credit to everyone but himself! Angus rules.

[hellraiser_]

Stevie couldn't do a better job to fill in for his Uncle. He's amazing.

You can tell it bothers Angus to talk about Malcolm...poor Angus rock in peace Malcolm and George!

[jspee]

Malcolm has done his yards... top props to one of the best.

[randybayle]

These guys are so down to earth. Loved when they were joking about height.

[YourFellowRNRSisterFan]

Look I love Stevie but NO BODY WILL REPLACE MALCOLM! Although Malcolm has dementia, his legend will NEVER BE WHO AGREES?

[monicagerber]

I LOVE AC DC A WHOLE BUNCH BECAUSE I LOVE THE WAY THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING AND I HOPE THEY CAN COME TO CARSON VALLEY INN NEXT YEAR AND THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA AND THE PEOPLE CAN SEE THEM AND I WANT TO MEET THEM SO BAD IF I CAN SEE THEM AT ANY PLACE I WOULD GIVE THE FIVE OF THEM A BIG HUGE HUGS AND I LOVE THEIR MUSIC BECAUSE IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC AND I HOPE THAT THEY CAN KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

[Arbeedubya]

I can't say Angus is the most articulate person I've ever heard (uses a lot of "y'know"'s in interviews I've seen), but I guess you don't have to be verbally articulate when you can speak so eloquently with your guitar.

[Dcwell-vmvj]

miss phil, but love rock or bust great music from ac/dc

[bernardosousa]

What a honour for Christian O'Connell to do this interview.

[michaelmooney]

never mind the bs  god love mal and all the years he put in to the band god has a place for him rock on

[barbarariley]

Stevie Young may be awesome...but NO ONE can replace Malcolm.

[pilippepine]

Nice lovely guy's down to earth gentlemens...!!!

[crotag]

Chris Slade is good but Phill is great. Steve is good but Malcom is great.

[Graiskye]

Brian And Angus, always telling it like it is, and all that BS.
 Hope Mal is doing the best he can,
WE ALL LOVE YOU MALCOM, AND WE WILL FOREVER.
 AC DC Forever.

[bluehappyscrap]

yeah!    there are a lot of great drummers out there, but there is something about phil's bass drum that just goes right to your gut.
