I just go where the guitar takes me. — Angus Young

My ambition was just to be able to play guitar. — Angus Young

Most people can do what I do–they can do guitar solos–but they can’t do a good, hard rhythm guitar and be dedicated to it. — Angus Young

If I heard a noise at night, I’d think there was a burglar sneaking around; the first thing I’d do was check on my guitar. — Angus Young

Rock Or Bust’ is a thing we’ve always done. — Angus Young

We’re a rock group. we’re noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird. — Angus Young

With AC/DC, we’ve always started with rock, and we’ve just kept it going. The critic’s view is always , ‘They just made an album and it’s the same as the last one.’ I’ll have fifteen of them, anytime. — Angus Young

I think that’s what it is with rock music. It helps you hang tough, I guess. — Angus Young

Hearing a lot of early rock n’ roll records from a very young age was a huge influence. — Angus Young

I wouldn’t know any newer bands. We’re past the pimple stage. — Angus Young

I think what AC/DC does best is play live. That’s when everything comes together. Even after you make a studio album, when you go out and play live, that’s when you learn what being in a band is all about. — Angus Young

The misunderstanding out there is that we are a ‘hard rock’ band or a ‘heavy metal’ band. We’ve only ever been a rock n’ roll band. — Angus Young

We don’t go around the world counting ticket and record sales, nor do we glue our ears to the radio to hear what’s trendy at the moment–we’re not that type of band. — Angus Young

I can’t deny that Eric Clapton’s and Eddie Van Halen’s lead stuff has influenced a stack of people, but for me, it’s the rhythm thing that’s way more impressive and important to a band. — Angus Young

The best AC/DC cover I’ve heard? There was an all–girl cover band in America, the Hell’s Belles. — Angus Young

A lot of people say, ‘AC/DC–that’s the band with the little guy who runs around in school shorts!’ — Angus Young

Some people say we have thirteen albums that all sound the same. That isn’t true. We have fourteen albums that all sound the same. — Angus Young

I’m sick to death of people saying we’ve made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we’ve made 12 albums that sound exactly the same. — Angus Young

A lot of times you’ll hear bands and it’s a different sound coming out than what’s on stage. Because you can clean it up through a PA and make it sound completely different than what they really sound like. — Angus Young

We came out in the midst of the hippie hangover. All this mellow music. — Angus Young

By the way he carried himself, you really thought that Bon Scott was immortal. — Angus Young

I never thought of us as a punk band, a metal band, or a new wave band. Just as a band band. — Angus Young

You should hear me on my own. It’s horrendous.I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, Geez, this is ridiculous. — Angus Young

I’ve always been someone who thought it didn’t matter where you were playing. I always shot for the best you could get. It never bothered me if it was small or it was big. — Angus Young

We’ve been in front of really big audiences, and people have said there’s a couple of hundred thousand people out there, but I’ve never really noticed. — Angus Young

The mainstream media tend to lump everything together. To them, there’s no difference between Madonna, the Rolling Stones, or whatever. — Angus Young

When I’m on stage the savage in me is released. It’s like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show. — Angus Young

The school suit allows me to be an extrovert. Basically, I’m the opposite of what I am on stage. — Angus Young

Once you’re on stage you can’t go back, even when things go wrong people expect you to stay there and entertain them. When all else fails, you’ve got to try tap dancing. — Angus Young

For the two hours I climb on stage, I become the schoolboy. But as soon as it is over, I get off stage and go home and get told to wipe my feet before I come in. — Angus Young

We played by feel. We felt as though you could put us on any stage, and we would find a way to win that crowd over. We had that attitude: We can’t fail. You might not like it right now, but you will. — Angus Young
