![]() Throughout his long and action-packed career with AC/DC, Angus Young has managed to develop quite a signature sound. Chuck Berry was also a major influence for Young and inspired his high-energy on-stage performances. He learned to play the guitar listening to other rock legends like Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townsend, and The Kinks, along with blues players like Freddie King and Muddy Waters. Young was born in Scotland, but his family (fifteen members strong) emigrated to Australia when he was at an early age. His hard rock guitar riffs and solos are legendary for being polished yet aggressive, and incredibly melodic in a way that crowds around the world can’t help but rock out to. He has created some of the most iconic guitar riffs in history, including “Back in Black” and “Thunderstruck,” which landed him at number 24 of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitarists list. Over the past 45 years, he has donned his signature schoolboy uniform and duck walked his way across stages around the world. Angus Young is certainly one of the most electrifying performers in rock and roll history.
