  • O melhor do mundo

  • astonishing speed

  • Guitar God!

  • Who could ever dislike Angus Young ?

  • Tab for 2:02 to the end?

  • @Stormfur98 lol no shit sherlock. thats like saying: "Wow hes such an asshole!" on a Lars Ulrich video.

    No need to point out obvious things :D

  • hell yeah! that's how you play guitar on stage!

  • z0mg

  • PLAY WITH YOUR FUCKING HEART!!! - Bill Hicks

  • Angus Young é o cara !

  • Comment removed

  • Long live Angus Young!!!

  • @metastasisman Hmm.. Enlightening. So, uh, just out of curiosity, how many millions of records have you sold?

  • @eht12369 heres a better question, how many has hannah montana sold?

  • DOOOOOOOOOORGAS MANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLO

  • angus is the best guitarist ever!!

    who can do this like he does?

  • Young brings great vibrato out of that SG, but beyond that he's not too crazy. AC/DC is very straightforward hard rock, not much in the way of frills.

    Another note: is playing lots of notes really what makes a guitarist great? Listen to David Gilmour. Guy doesn't play really fast, but it sure moves you. Or listen to Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." Davis has the smooth melodic awesomeness on the trumpet, and the john Coltrane ruins it with his tons of notes. Artistry > speed.

  • @Kashmir0109 i would if i like led zeppelin they are great artists but in my opinion AC/DC is alot better everyone has as opinion and my opinion is that AC/DC is the greatest band of all time and thats how i am

  • @Kashmir0109 then maybe its because you listen to much to led zeppelin yes that is a good band too but i dont listen to them its only very rare i do that im more ti this knida of rock n roll im an AC/DC fan for life i do hear alot of feeling in angus youngs playing you can hear very much if you hear live at a concert hes solos are more precise and has much feeling thats what i hear or maybe you just dont know music

  • @Kashmir0109 its not about skill its about feeling in what you play and angus sure gives a lot of feeling in hes playing thats why hes such a great guitarist

  • @Kashmir0109 ac dc, zeppelin, jimi hendrix, deep purple and many many others are not about tehnique and skill... ever heard of feeling?

  • What, you suck gay beiber

  • 12 people had heartattacks during this

  • @Kashmir0109 u wana try doing that?

  • i bet he's hurt himself a few times on stage

  • 10 people got their fucking minds blown

  • Jesus...the guitar is bigger than him. He is an inspiration to all of us guitar players. Rock on Angus. \m/

  • fuckin angus must have been playing guitar before he was born .

  • hes the god

  • I'm not going to lie. I might have just jizzed in my pants.

  • 1:49

    if ninjas played guitar, then angus could asassinate ninjas.

  • @ducttapesniper42 hell, he could probably already kill them just by using his AWESOME.

  • this is the tokyo concert 1981. a few tracks are on plug me me in dvd

  • This is the reason that I picked up a guitar!

  • who else gets fucking chills at 1:15 man that shit is what acdc is all about thos legends will live on ACDC live on forever

  • Epic.

  • how people think john mayer is a good guitarist is beyond me lol especially compared to guys like angus. I had a kid come up to me and say john mayer is the best guitarist of all time lol I laughedin his face and walked away.

  • @argo987 John Mayer is a great guitarist, and Angus is too...

  • @8werty8 john mayer sucks his moms dick

  • slash at a interview on mtv said he was inspired and would never compare to angus young.... bow to your maker and deal with it. angus young is 55 years old and still rockin hard..

  • epic

  • thats real music.

  • tengo una duda, la parte que sale en 0:40 el solo melancolico tiene nombre o quee, me encanta esa parte, espero y me digan gracias!!!

  • W T F. Era mejor cuando estaba mas joven Angus

  • He isn't the best guitarist ever, and he never claimed to be one of the best. All that AC/DC has ever tried to do is just rock, they don't give a shit if people don't like them, so all those out there who complain about it, deal with it

  • He's overrated in a guitar playing sense. However, we electric fans love to see the soul come out of someone on the axe.

  • he sucks ass! i play just like him and i hate it! (sort of) but hes overrated i believe. i should post a song O_o u all would be all "oh, gosh.. wowsers" and id be all, "boner" and ud all be, "what?"

  • @BubbaRaeth92 and are you part of one of the best rock bands ever? i dont think so

  • @BrandoSVK what? tnt and back in black were there only good songs.. and both a todler could play. he sucks ass. hendrix or MAB or buckethead, eh? their decent guitarists, i tell you what.. (PROPANE [and propane accessories])

  • @BubbaRaeth92 well he isnt one of the best guitarists he is underrated but like it or not he's praised by every ac/dc fan and he's one of the famous underrated guitarists of the 70s, 80s, 90s and this year's generation Hendrix is amazing i dont really see much in MAB and Buckethead but Hendrix and Angus Young there on 2 of my top 100 favorite guitarists

  • @NWOWCW4Life1 he sucks O_o sounds like a teenager in a garage. nothing to slash hendrix mab or buckethead. the guy from tenatious d is better in my opinion..

  • @BubbaRaeth92 then i respect your opinion but hey we cant always like the person we want to like as long as you have an opinion people will respect it

  • @NWOWCW4Life1 maybe. let bygons be bygons and heterosexualgons be heterosexualgons.

  • YEA ANGUS YOUNG THE FRICKEN BEST ROCK ON AC/DC!!!!!!!!!!

  • By far the most underrated guitarist. Sure the chords of all his songs might be simple, but I want you to show me some guy play guitar and run around like a fucking maniac.

  • @videogameguru622

    the "good guitarists" today are who play with thousands of tons of distortion, so you dont even hear what he plays... he just acts like he was playing, but what you hear is just ultra-mega-distorted shit. With that much distortion it doesnt matter what you play, you hear the same shit. Real guitarists are a thing of past. Oh and dont forget to mention the so called "punk" guiarists who learned 2 chords and girls scream if they see them... :(

  • Definition of mind blowing:ANGUS YOUNG GUITAR SOLO 1981!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKIN AWSOME

  • ac/dc IS LIKE THE GREATEST BAND EVER TO BE BROUGHT ON IN ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY. you couls just wak down the street and ask any random person if they like ac/dc i bet you every penny i have that 99.5% of the people love AC/DC ROCK ON!!!!!!

  • im happy im not a douche bag of todays music(im 14) i love hard classic rock im a guitarist not a shredder i play blues and hard rock. angus is my idol i have a les paul and marshall amp ( at the moment saving for an SG) i love that crunchy rock n roll AC/DC sound . i mean theres those shity artist (not really work of art but watever) justin beiber fag jonas brothers cant play this hard. Angus Was born in hell raised in Scotland and Austalia. When he dies he`ll be duckwalking to hell AC/DC 4EVER

  • @JCBkingg A-Fucking-Men! Angus is The God!

    ( it may come as a surprise that im 14)

  • @mparrapsp IM 11 man this greenday stuff is nothing compare to what the effort acdc put s in to there music

  • he's a dam great guitarist and one thing i wish is he had more songs like "ride on" its his best work and a whole other side to hime, pure art and pure angus.

  • Simply amazing...

  • What I would give to play like that!!! damn lol

  • I think Angus young is so good I even did a research paper about him in my language arts class. That thing took me at least six hours. He really is the best he has the most feeling with the guitar that any guitarist has ever had. Angus young is the best guitarist of all time

  • Comment removed

  • Angus is the best guitarist of all time, and i dont care what anyone has to say about it.. he has the best style a guitarist would want to have.

  • you no he taught himself

  • Angus Fucking Young....

    The greatest thing to ever touch a guitar!

  • angus young just has a unique style. and its an awesome style.

  • Angus and Malcolm are the two best guitarists to the world greatest band AC fuckin' DC!!! RIP BON

  • Omg i tried back in black on guitar it didn't sound at all like angus, he must have the Pick of Destiny!

  • no its the devil within you :L

  • @iSewil keep your switch on the guitar at treble and hit the strings nearer the neck bit and gain just past half way and a small amount of reverb haha

  • this dude fuckin' rules for life

  • i hat an orgasm :o

  • fuck man 2:44 that ending... can you fell the power of rock ?... Angus is definitely not a technical beast but he has something more in his playing that makes his notes sound powerful... Like all the other guitar legends actually... That's amazing...

  • angus dont use any guitar effects or tapping, HE IS GOD

  • @EsaldaH I quote " it's called rock n roll" ( back to the future)

  • @EsaldaH yup it's just that unknown "it" factor

  • @EsaldaH Soul....

  • @EsaldaH

    it's vibrato and the way you hit the strings.

    the very touch as with any string instrument

  • ahahahaah stupid donkeys, this is not eruption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    aniway Eddie is god too!

  • what is it with everyone saying its Eruption?!?! FUCK OFF! this is angus young, not Eddie, eddie can eat shit :) nah actually eddies really really good hahaha

  • lol how the fuck can u play eruption wit one hand

  • it isn't eruption, douche.

  • it never ceases to amaze me when i watch Angus play, any time, any song, but it blows me away when he goes full out, one handed. insane!!!

  • most ppl have no clue how hard he's playin' ..... if most of today's POD-youtube shreddders would use Angus' rig, they would think something was broken because they would think there isn't any gain or sustain... welcome to the world of real guitarists boys.... ;)

  • Thats 100% true...most people just turn on the distortion all the way and play...

  • @carychilton thats what i always say :O he doesnt hide behind wah or shit loads of gain :) jus proper rock

  • @carychilton I agree. If no one see's it, all of angus's solos are are all from the roots of the blues. He just hits the strings harder and has the amp up. Angus Is God. I could of burned a t-shirt that i saw. it said AC/DC the best heavy metal band ever. Disgusting, just disgusting...

  • @coolwithit99: Do you think metal is disgusting or do you just mean that it's disgusting that somebody would call AC/DC metal when they obviously aren't?

  • @NuclearCentipede i think its disgusting that someone would call AC/DC metal. Im not a fan of metal but thats just my preference. Rock On \m/

  • @carychilton

    exactly. if angus would play that guitar a little softer it would be sparkling clean. Its not like todays metal stuff.

  • @carychilton - You, sir, are right on the money with this comment. The gain factor of Angus' rig is leaps and bounds lower than any modern rig that most young people or metalheads would use. This requires a great deal more strength, expression and attack to 'create' overdrive. Most of the sweepers and shredders of today play with a ton of saturated pre gain and spike the presence to create the illusion of attack. Angus Young with his JTM45s couldn't do this. Thus it's warm and soulful.

  • @knoxpages u get it lol u kno whats up hahah

  • @carychilton so TRUE!

  • @carychilton You are so correct. Let's sit at the entrance and laugh as they stumble in.

  • @carychilton Totally agree, today's guitarists are all about shred and no soul! Angus has soul!

  • @carychilton at last a true guitar player and yes you are so correct that really is hard playing no frills no tricks amp lead guitar is all you need , any dick head can shred 9 million miles an hour but it takes a life time to actually play sir let me buy you a ceeeegar lol

  • @knighty1964 Thanks! I have 2 vintage amps like the ones Angus used to use so I have first hand experience. I can say that with his guitar and setting, the feel of the guitar would be as difficult as shreddin on acoustic guitar. So naturally that slows your speed, playing that hard. When I shred out on my acoustic, I can usually play 15% fast on my electric with the same licks.

  • can anyone write a tab of this for me? thanks

  • He's so underrated... The greatest entertainer, one of the best guitarists in rock history, the force of nature all in one person. There's no one, and i mean NO ONE like him!

  • so true :)

  • he might not be THE greatest guitarist of all time,But he definatley IS the best at giving us a hell of a show...and isn't that all that really matters?

  • Yeah exactly, he could be all flashy if he wanted to but he doesn't give a shit about all that, he just wants to straight up rock in your face & thats what he does and NO ONE does it better, Angus is a legend.

  • So simple but so effective. Its all about attitude!!

  • i cant understand how he never fell off the amps lol, its so dark! Atleast it seems it. ABSOLUTELY amazing!!!!!!!!!

  • this is beautiful

  • angus and his SG is the only pair that will never break

  • oh damn thats a sick ass solo

  • The funny thing is if you study Angus enough, you notice he throws in a classical piece every now and then. He's alot better than people give him credit for. And he rocks like no one else, Rock On Angus!

  • yeah!

  • i saw him yesterday in athens

  • kl to solo tou gamise apira!

  • pada tetoia :)

  • go fuck yourself where the hell is your guitar big boy

  • My gibson is by my bed, my fender is in the corner, and my ibanez and acoustic is is in the next room. Hope that anwers your question.

  • A wisguy eh?

  • He he, I guess. I can´t really take anyone seriuos when they start with the "go fuck youself" and "fuck you, you fucking piece of shit", and all that "im on the internett and I can say anything i want without any consequences, therefore act like an asshole" attitude. Anyways...It´s sometimes fun to anwer a stupid question/statement with a stupid answer. ; - )

  • sure is!  XD (Cough**ASSHOLE!**Cough)

  • That's awesome and all, but if you have a Gibson and a Fender than you should have the know how not to have an Ibanez...Just a quick assessment.

  • It was just my beginning guitar. Is has not been played for like 4 years. I kind of wish i could sell it, but i think its sentimental value is higher than its marked value. It´s hard to give away the thing that started everything.

  • By the way. There is nothing wrong with Ibanez. Not my brand really, but it has it´s place in the music industry. If you are into a lot of solo stuff and like playing with a whammy bar, then you can´t go wrong with ibanez. Just listen to Andy timmons, Steve Vai or Joe Satriani, Not really a lack of tone there. Especially Andy. Just listen to the tone on his Resolution album. Quite magnificent in my ears.

  • Yeah, totally man! I completely understand. I was just flicking you some shit. I've been spinning for 14 years and I still have the turntables ( Numarks ) I first started out with. I have Technics, but I just cant seem to bring myself to sell my Numarks. Ibanez is not a wipe your ass with brand..You get a great piece of equipment at a fair price. Great for beginners.

  • you live in this planet,or you come from Mars???Angus is the best guitarist on the world!!!!!!!!!!

  • That might so according to your personal preferance, but you should not state it as an unquestionable fact.There´s probably is no such thing as the worlds best guitarist. As long as we have have a free and individually unique mind, then we will always have different preferences. Especially within music and art, as everyone percepts it differently. And that's whats so great about it.

    Knowing that two people can listen to the exact same thing, and still react, hear and feel something unique.

  • All the one which you want, but if a guitarist like Angus, remains great for 2 decades a reason will be. Nobody can deny that Leonardo da Vinci was a genius!

  • Comment removed

  • holy shit thats epic

  • the thing that is really bad about the rollingstone list is that kurt cobain is number 8 or 9

  • It was like.... watching a 'White' Hendrix..... God-like

  • angus is better

  • bad quality....

    BUT ITS SO EFFING GOOOD

    ACDC FUR LIFE \M/

  • i like the way that if any one else trys acting like he does when they play they just look retarded but he dosnt

  • i can't believe that he is in the list of the best guitarists (rolling stones magazine) just the 97. this can't be true! and well kirk hammett is 11 so what the fuck?

  • the stones are jelous aha

  • yeah and eddy van halen is on 80 something so what the fuck?
