Who was Malcolm Young’s wife?

Malcolm Young career

Malcolm Young, Angus, and their brother George, together with Harry Vanda, were members of the Marcus Hook Roll Band. Tales of Old Grand Daddy is the album that the project released in Australia.

on the 1974 album “Evie” by Stevie Wright, which Harry Vanda and George Young wrote and produced, Malcolm Young played guitar. There are three sections to the 11-minute song. In the first section of the song, Young performed the guitar solo.

He was a member of the short-lived Newcastle band The Velvet Underground (not that 1960s band). In 1973, at the age of 20, Young and his younger brother Angus founded AC/DC.

Lead guitar played by Angus, rhythm guitar by Malcolm, drums by Colin Burgess, bass guitar by Larry Van Kriedt, and vocals by Dave Evans.

Their debut song, “Can I Sit Next To You Girl,” was later rerecorded with Bon Scott on vocals. The initials “AC/DC” on the back of their sister Margaret’s sewing machine inspired them to come up with the moniker AC/DC. AC/DC relocated to Melbourne in 1975.

They came back to Britain at the beginning of 1977 and started a European tour with Black Sabbath. Although Ozzy Osbourne and Bon Scott became close very early, there were tensions between some other members of the two bands.

Young claimed once that Geezer Butler had slashed him with a knife, but Butler has since denied it.

Bassist Mark Evans was let go towards the end of 1977, allegedly in order to locate a backing vocalist. Evans identified one major cause is their disagreements with Malcolm and Angus. Cliff Williams took his position.

Young took time off from AC/DC’s Blow Up Your Video World Tour in 1988 to deal with his alcohol consumption problems. Eventually, he cleaned up and rejoined the band. Stevie Young, his nephew, took over for him while he was gone.

Malcolm Young played guitar for AC/DC for 37 years, touring the world with the group with little interruptions from 1973 until his final live performance in June 2010.

Up until his self-imposed exit from the band in 2014, when his nephew Stevie took his place once more, he carried on penning songs for AC/DC.

A band member revealed during the recording of their album Power Up that the group was using recordings from 2003, which were made even before Malcolm passed away.

Australian punk rock band Frenzal Rhomb wrote a song and album titled “Forever Malcolm Young” in 2006, which focused on him.

The Gretsch G6131MY, a trademark guitar designed by Young and based on his modified 1963 Gretsch Jet Firebird, was released by Gretsch guitars in 2017.

Eddie Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Lars Ulrich of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Billy Idol, Paul Stanley of Kiss, Joe Walsh, Joe Satriani, Def Leppard, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Foo Fighters, Alice Cooper, Muse, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, and many more released tributes to Young on the day of his passing.

On the day of or shortly after Young’s demise, many of these performers paid tribute to him by covering an AC/DC song at their shows.
