Some claim this is the era of the pinnacle:

Still kicking myself for not going to see them when they were the backup band for an obscure group called Aerosmith in 1978.

"...is he on the Highway to Hell?"

Too soon, way too soon!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Beavis and Butthead are deeply saddened.

[MrEdd]

Either that, or The Scorpion's classic "Love at First Sting."

The Scorpions weren't as big in the US, but I was overseas in their heyday.

[ThunderSleeps]

For me, one of the defining bands of rock and roll, and the soundtrack to much of my youth. RIP.

Aerosmith was not obscure in 78 just sayin’

[CopperTop]

"..but the album "Back in Black" was of course in my collection.."

I enjoyed BnB. But my AC/DC collection stopped at "Shuzzbot... Nanu nanu". d;^)

Dementia in your early 60s??? Wow...how awful.

I saw a really good movie on Amazon the other night - Remember - with Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau that depicted this. A surprise ending in that one.

One of my “little” brothers used to play AC/DC very loudly, & very often, to the point my parents would steal his tapes and hide them. R.I.P.

[Trod Upon]

I’m beginning to suspect that he’s the Reaper hiding in plain sight.

[Chode]

RIP

Not a day in the my life goes by without a few minutes of AC/DC. Shrimp’n boat wont be the same. Screw tractor-rap crap call country music, give me hard bad-assed rock’n’roll.

Highway to Hell is about life on the road. It is not a call to satanism.

I've scoured the Interweb for insights into Malcolm's religious views, and nothing came up.

True his hard-drinking life isn't what God promulgates, but conversion can come on the Highway to Hell or the Road to Demascus.

Maybe, just maybe, the past three years have been a period of conversion, of preparation, for one of the greatest rhythm guitarists since Pete Towhsnend.

Requiescat in pace.

[Olog-hai]

Funny how those two albums were produced by a man we know nowadays as Shania Twain’s ex-husband.

RIP.

“Aerosmith was not obscure in 78 just sayin’”

Right over your head.

[Drew68]

Guess he’s no longer on the ‘Highway’, but has reached his rather hot destination. Too bad.

Oh, piss off.

Very sad - Fred Cole last week and now Malcolm

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Staying classy as ever.
