Larry Dallas I don't see how this is possible since he played out with the Stones a day after this. How can someone publish this?


CMU, the daily music newsletter of Unlimited Media, has today reported that AC/DC legend Angus Young died on Thursday at the age of 48.
Although the news has yet to be confirmed elsewhere, one has to assume it is true, based on that whole legal/libel aspect... therefore, it is with a heavy heart that we do this;

Angus Young was born on March 31, 1955 in Glasgow, Scotland. He gave up school at 15 and went to work for a soft porn magazine called Ribald as a printer, before becoming a full-time muscian for the next 30+ years. He had played guitar since the age of eleven and had performed with his brother, Malcolm, in a string of previous bands, with names such as Tantrum and Kentuckee.

AC/DC was formed in 1973 and Angus' reputation as a guitarist grew quickly, notably for his distinctive stage persona; with his spasmodic, seemingly out-of-control onstage body language, patented duckwalk and on-the-floor body jerks. And of course, the school uniform.

Surviving the death of lead singer, Bon Scott, early on, the band went on to write a slew of seminal rock albums, most notably 'Back In Black' (possibly the greatest rock n'roll album of all time) and 'For Those About To Rock, We Salute You'.

The band were on tour as recently as last year, and had a reputation as being one of the best live acts in the history of rock.

Angus Young... we salute you.
