He was the co-founder of AC/DC (with brother Angus), starting the band 44 years ago this month…November of 73, and rock music took a turn for the better in the years to come. While his brother Angus, and Bon Scott/Brian Johnson would “stand out” more over the bands history, it truly was Malcolm who was the driving force of the band. As the bands rhythm guitarist, Malcolm was highly instrumental in co-writing songs, and developing the amazing guitar riffs that “made” AC/DC. Other than a short departure from AC/DC in 1988, Malcolm was there from 1973 until September of 2014…through 17 studio albums, and numerous HUGE tours. Malcolm became very ill in April of 2014 and shortly after the band announced he would no longer be with the band…Malcolm’s nephew, Stevie Young then stepped in and finished the “Rock or Bust” tour.

It was a sad day when we learned about Malcolm’s failing health in 2014, but now with his passing, it really sinks in…AC/DC will never be the same, but thanks to classic rock formats like THE EAGLE, Malcolm and the bands legendary status will live on, for fans everywhere to enjoy!  ~ RON O’
