I was turned on to this band at a very early age. One of those songs that turned me on was "Dirty Deeds done Dirt Cheap"

A to Z Challenge: Malcolm Young and AC/DC

You may have heard rumors about AC/DC calling it a career. Dig a little deeper and you can discover why. Malcolm Young a co-founder of the band, a co-songwriter, a co-producer, and rhythm guitarist for this hard rocking band has had serious health issues of late. Reportedly he has suffered a stroke and has a blood clot in his brain. Reportedly he is unable to play lie he needs to for AC/DC to continue.



AC/DC and Queen are the "real rock bands" that I was drawn towards as a young kid. This is probably the song that hooked me...

Here is a tribute to Malcolm some fan made..

Here is a more recent song...

We hope he recovers. Hopefully he will be able to live and life will go on. Music is secondary sometimes. If this is the end for AC/DC thank you for the riffs.

R.I.P George Marino

George Marino was an engineering giant in the music world. The mastering engineer is one of the important people behind the scenes who make an album (or whatever you listen to music nowadays) sound the way it does. George had worked with albums by Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, John Lennon, Guns and Roses, AC/DC, the Cure and many, many more. Some of the biggest names in music. This page lists his credits, it is quite impressive.

He died of lung cancer. Sad news he will be missed in the music world.
