And older brother George who died in October..
George was a member of the Easybeats (Friday on my mind) and a very well known writer/producer in Australia ( the Angels, Black Rose). George was highly influential on Malcom and Angus.
That is a shame.....RIP.

Saw them 2 nights back to back in the early eighties, first Madison Square garden second at the MeadowLands. Nose bleed section, I would be deaf today if I had been closer.

Have to throw this song in. I really wasn't aware of them till 1990 when a Filipina girlfriend was a fan of them. However, on a trip to the Philippines in 1994 I saw a routine done in a club using the song Thunderstruck. That routine seared the song in my mind as it would do to anyone else who saw the routine live. Consequently one of my all time favorites.

I went looking for the Roadhouse video of Thunderstruck by a friend but can't find it. Can find all kinds of other videos by him but not the one I want so this is the next best version. The older versions are the best from the 90's up until 2008. I was first in Roadhouse in 1993 and always visited the place three to four times a year through 2003. Became one of those regulars much like in Cheers. They stored my glasses, bourbon and tequila for when I came in. Great times with a lot of great friends over the years.
Then I walked in on Nov. 18, 2003, after arriving in Manila, to give a friend some allergy meds from the states. Saw a new girl there who caught my attention like none before. I left, for whatever reason but was back on Nov. 20th and while there met that girl. Well we have been together ever since then as I married her and Thunderstruck is our song. With her incredibly long black hair she was quite a sight when it came time to twirl the hair. Too bad I only had a camera and not a video camera. Really funny thing is my 8 year old son told us two years ago that Thunderstruck is his favorite old song.

RIP Malcolm.
Due to his illness (dementia) it is probably good for him to be gone

I think God is more about what you do with your life than any religious doctrine. Having lived well and entertained so many people, I'm sure he's doing the same thing in heaven.
Also, if we accept God as unconditionally loving, the question becomes, would such a God burn anyone forever? Having seen pics of 3rd degree burns, I highly doubt it. Hell is useful to organized religion in scaring people into following their doctrines. However, if we step out of the trap of organized religion, it's probably a myth, made from a combination of the Greek God Pluto and the underworld and Jesus' images of burning punishment. I always liked how AC/DC made fun of Hell.

And don't forget, "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap"
A little capitalism and lawless low moral standards mixed in for good measure to get the pompous tv preachers in a uproar.
Long live AC/DC.

She's got the Jack
They did their best to drive radio and the FCC crazy.

Have a Drink on Me was one of my favorites, RIP.

I remember 1 time in 1988 when I was in the Marines at Camp Pendleton. We had gotten so drunk. It was 2 or 3 in the morning, in a hotel barracks, 3 man rooms. A marine cranked Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap on his tape deck. We were all yelling the words. Sometimes they came out "Dunder Chee." It didn't matter. It was a Saturday night, and what really amazes me is that no one came yelling at us. Maybe everyone else was so drunk and passed out dead to the world that they didn't hear. We were the few, the proud, the Marines, but we were also the few, the proud, the Lunatics. Tom Cochrane, we understand you. Thank you AC/DC for giving venting through insanity.

Religious fundamentalists are an irrational group. Consider: An unconditionally loving God can only love enough to forgive on the condition of your faith in a human sacrifice on 2 perpendicular pieces of wood. Or from Islam consider, "Believers, when you meet the disbelievers in battle, never turn your backs on them: if anyone does so on such a day - unless maneuvering to fight or join a fighting group - he incurs the wrath of God and Hell will be his home, a wretched destination. It was not you who killed them but God. (Qur'an 8:15-17)" So much for being a religion of peace that serves a God of peace.
