Hi Tim - this is Fil, founder of SoloDallas and maker of the Schaffer (Replica). Nice info there! Just wanted to let you and our friends know here that we don't only offer the "Tower" - we have a range of pedals for guitars and bass that supply the same character of the Tower - and therefore the original character of the Schaffer-Vega wireless - if you want to try one of our pedals just let us know! Thanks, Fil (pedals are priced around USD220, a more affordable price)

I saw AC/DC in a local dance hall in Sydney with about 30 other people before they were famous. Angus did an extended solo while standing on a chair on the dance floor. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing. I knew instantly that they would conquer the world. I walked home completely freaked out - but in a good way

Actually met Malcom Young for a brief moment after their concert back in 1983. Was sitting on the hood of my car near their transporters waiting for the after concert traffic nightmare to calm down a bit. 2 guys walked up to me(one was Malcom) and asked if they could bum a couple of cigarettes. I gave them each a marlboro light, lit them up for them and heard a "thanks so much mate" from Malcom as they both walked back towards the trucks. Was just a very brief but memorable encounter from one of the greatest rythym guitarists on earth

Angus is such an incredibly cool dude. Everyone who's dealt with him and talked about it says he is literally the nicest guy on the planet.

[muppetpaster]

Angus lives in my village., I regularly run into him....Very humble dude....

[gthofalcon]

He's the best, he just makes it look so easy that most people don't realise how good he is, he runs a marathon every live show he does, but you never hear him make a mistake.

[jamescarter]

I have always wanted to hear the master tapes to back in black so we could hear the entire outro solo. Angus is killing it as it fades.

[jasonwilkerson]

To me Angus's solo on "Ride On" is perhaps the most overlooked, greatest guitar solo. First a little appetizer, then he gives you the amazing lengthier blues solo. Angus at his core. Blues! Amazing feel! I'm 50 years old, and I still go back to it when I need to feel. Angus is hell of a physical player. He gets a lot out of his bends and vibrato. 👍 Just for kicks, Norah Jones has a version of "Ride On, " as well.

What I find amazing about Angus is with the amount of moving he does on stage how precise he plays. But I always think the secret weapon with Angus was his brother Malcolm and how they complimented each other perfectly. There are some amazing isolated tracks of some classic ACDC songs done live and to hear how the two brothers interplayed is incredible. The precision in Malcolm's playing is incredible.

First time I saw a lead guitarist playing without a lead attached to his guitar and walking/running throughout the town hall in Birmingham in 77/78 …a brilliant concert and first experience of watching AC/DC .

[f.duranleau]

Angus Young is a real rock star. His fame does not only comes from his playing but mostly from his stage behaviors...He delivers a hell of a show! And he, along with his brother Malcolm, wrote some of the best rock anthems.

[bryandraughn]

The syncopated rhythm that AC/DC uses on every song is really overlooked.
The guitar emphasis is offset from the drums by a half beat, and the vocals are offset from the guitar, and it all stacks together.
It's amazing!

[crucifixgym]

A great reminder that playing an instrument is still a physical feat as much as a creative mental endeavor.

[lambd]

I just love Angus. Absolutely wonderful guy.
Probably one of the greatest guitarists that has walked on this earth. 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍

[cj.sabella]

What I love about Angus is the playing is super aggressive, but everyone who’s met him in studio/on stage says he has a super light touch. What a balance.

[Deric_Rocks]

Angus' vibrato, and vibrato on bends, is simply the best! Rock on Angus!

[guitarttimman]

That is actually quite clever. He found incredible way to be different. I'm a huge fan of Angus. He's great!

[NotAsTraceable]

Been loving those guys since the mid/late 70's. Best comment I've heard about them was when one of their fans was asked why he loved their concerts so much. He said "cause you know they're not gonna try and sneak a ballad in on ya".

[pablodebiddlybo]

Angus is such a fantastic player and the fact that his solos can often be sung along to speaks volumes about his motivation as a player to play for the song . In this respect he is so refined. This coupled with his fantastic tone puts him up there with the greats. Bon Scott’s voice too though 😮 …AC/DC really had it all with Phil and Cliff too. A majestic lineup

gidday, I turned 64 on Saturday and I still recall clearly first hearing these guys whilst walking up the beach after a surf late one summers Sunday night and being totally floored by the sound coming out of the surf club pavilion which was either Swanbourne or Cottesloe beach I was 14, i think it was 1974. I used to surf these two beaches regularly and always stayed outside (too young to enter till I learned to fake it) when these dudes were playing and wow, it completely rocked my world - it was just insane and I was hooked.Watched and listened to them many times. Angus didn't seem much older than my mates and I and to this day I believe it was these guys the that lured me down that slippery slope into the world of RnR. Still haven't left that world yet!
