Malcolm Young, the rhythm guitar player and founding member of heavy metal legends AC/DC, has died, the group announced Saturday. He was 64.
Known for the powerhouse riffs and rhythm guitar that propelled the group from Sydney, Australia, to superstardom, Young had been suffering from dementia for the past three years, the Australian Associated Press reported.
He died peacefully on Saturday with his family by his bedside, the news agency reported.
Young started the band with his brother Angus Young in 1973.

Who mentioned Satanism?
Sorry.
Thanks.
I’d heard about the dementia, but it really hits home when people that young are going down to it. Scary stuff. RIP Malcolm.
My sarcasm meter was disabled this mornin’
We had several beers in his honor tonight after a metal gig in Shinjuku. Ive been a fan for 37 years, since I first heard Hells Bells and Back In Black and Highway To Hell when I was in fourth grade. Rest In Peace and say hello to Bon, mate!
And say hello to, George. Whom, without, most likely there would have been no AC/DC.
I remember my first AC/DC concert well...or was it second one remember well...I cant remember :) I was 16, so it was probably the Who Made Who tour when they were in between albums.
Wholeheartedly agree. Ive been playing some every day for freaking ever. Now my youngest son is carrying the torch and learning AC/DC tunes on his guitar.
So sad. They were always one of my favorite bands. I remember my Dad buying me the Dirty Deeds record when I was home sick with chicken pox in the 5th grade. Had to be 1980? 1981?
"...Malcolm Young of AC/DC dies at 64 years..."
Their lyrics had a lot of hidden meaning/
CHORUS:
I’ve got big balls
I’ve got big balls
And they’re such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he’s got big balls
And she’s got big balls
But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all
Hopefully he didn’t do any cheap dirty deeds that would put him on the highway to hell.
Most folks are on that highway, by their own choice.
Hope he enjoyed the ride...
