AC/DC's ANGUS On MALCOLM YOUNG: 'The Last Person He Wants To See Sometimes Is His Kid Brother'

Guitar World magazine recently conducted an interview with AC/DC's Angus Young for the cover story of the January issue, on newsstands in November. Asked about playing in a band for more than 30 years with his older brother/guitarist Malcolm, Angus said, "I'd be lying if I said it was 100 percent smooth. We might get pissed off with each other, but blood is thicker than water. And what we share together is AC/DC. Outside of that, we have different interests — I might read a book on history and Malcolm might read a book on football. But we spend most of our life on the road, so we see a lot of each other. The last person he wants to see sometimes is his kid brother."

In the extensive interview, Young also discusses the writing and recording of the band's new album, "Black Ice", his famous Gibson SG guitars, and the differences between working with producers Brendan O’Brien and Mutt Lange. Mutt, says Young, had a particular way of getting him to re-record his guitar solos. "He would say, 'Hmm, that’s interesting,'" Young tells Guitar World. "And that was his code word for shite!"
