“The sound of his guitar is everything rolled into one. It’s blues, it’s rock ’n’ roll, and it’s got that hard edge to it. It’s not clean – it’s nasty!”: Angus Young on the legendary guitarists that lit a fire in him

Angus Young, live onstage at the Los Angeles Colisseum in 1984.

Angus Young knows a thing or two about rock ’n’ roll. In more than 50 years as AC/DC’s lead guitarist, he’s written and recorded a whole lot of songs about this very subject.

On the band’s first international album High Voltage, the first track is It’s A Long Way To the Top (If You Wanna Rock ’N’ Roll). The second track is Rock ’N’ Roll Singer.
