Angus Young Quotes

Scottish - Musician | March 31, 1959 -

Go back to the very beginning, when we first started playing in local pubs. We used to play Chuck Berry covers. Every now and then, we'd slip in one of our own songs, and we found that we were getting away with it - nobody seemed to know these were original tracks.

We always try to get new songs. That's what AC/DC has always been about. You can listen to what we do, and you can go, 'Well, it's AC/DC, but it's a new song.' So that's what we've always tried to achieve. So we've always got that style.

Style Song You Achieve Go New

Riffs are a repeating thing. They come back to you. Some of the things on 'Back in Black' were ideas we had knocked around on tracks before that: 'That bit - maybe we should take a chunk of that and slug it in here.'

Ideas Black You Back Take Here

There's nothing worse than trying to patch something or make do. If there wasn't something there in the beginning, it won't be there at the end.

Beginning End Trying Nothing Worse

I don't regard myself as a soloist. It's a color; I put it in for excitement. It's not great loss if a solo has to go. We've made songs without solos.

Great Myself Color Loss Go Without
