Angus Young Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Angus Young:

I tried a Les Paul when I was a lot younger. I tried the Les Paul, and because of the weight of the thing, it nearly dislocated my hip.

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.

I don't know how many bands I saw who would try to wreck a hotel room, but I never wrecked a hotel room in my life! If I'm gonna sit there and throw a TV out the window... if it's a good TV, maybe I should just take it home.

I honestly believe that you have to be able to play the guitar hard if you want to be able to get the whole spectrum of tones out of it. Since I normally play so hard, when I start picking a bit softer my tone changes completely, and that's really useful sometimes for creating a more laid-back feel.

Hearing a lot of early rock n' roll records from a very young age was a huge influence.

I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, 'Geez, this is ridiculous.' You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man's Led Zeppelin.

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

Yes, we're still five little people with a noisy attitude.

Angus Young

We always try to get new songs. That's what AC/DC has always been about. You can listen to what we do, and you can go, 'Well, it's AC/DC, but it's a new song.' So that's what we've always tried to achieve. So we've always got that style.

Angus Young

The biggest tragedy we had early on was when Bon Scott died.

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

'Rock Or Bust' is a thing we've always done.

I have the Internet, but the first that happens with it is my machine will crash. I get by when it's operating. What would I know about updating?

A good record is one where I can tap my toes. I always say let your feet do the thinking.

I wouldn't know any newer bands. We're past the pimple stage.

I remember one of the first gigs I played with that amp was at a local church. They wanted someone to fill in with the guitar and my friend say, 'Ah, he can play.' And so I dragged the amplifier down and started playing and everybody started yelling 'turn it down!'

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.

With seven boys and one sister, there was always a lot of music in the house. A few of my brothers were playing instruments, so it was from hearing that, coupled with discovering early rock, which triggered me to pick up a guitar and try to pick out the notes.

Angus Young

We're a rock group. we're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.

I used to run home from school, pick up my guitar, and lock myself in my room and play.

From the first album, we've had songs like 'The Jack' that are blues based. We also did it in 'Ride On,' where we went into the blues.

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.

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.

We just stuck to what we did best. Maybe that's why people plug into us and go 'They never change.' We're reliable. A bit like old shoes.

Angus Young

Actually, because I'm so small, when I strike an open A chord I get physically thrown to the left, and when I play an open G chord I go right. That's how hard I play, and that's how a lot of my stage act has come about. I just go where the guitar takes me.

Angus Young

In the real world, people just get on with their lives. And that's where AC/DC come in.

Angus Young

I just go where the guitar takes me.

I think the '60s was a great time for music, especially for rock and roll. It was the era of The Beatles, of The Stones, and then later on The Who and Zeppelin. But at one point in the '70s, it just kind of became... mellow.

Angus Young

When we were younger, playing a bar or a club, we did what we did to get as many people to like what we were doing. I wanted the person in the back of the room to like it as much as the ones in the front. That's how I've always looked at it.

Angus Young

There's more to playing the guitar than being able to split your legs.
