MALCOLM YOUNG not heard Rock or Bust

Former AC/DC guitarist hasn’t listened to the band’s new record Rock or Bust, says brother Angus.

Young dementia had been confirmed back in September from family members and it has said his symptoms began showing back before Black Ice was recorded along with the tour following the release.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Angus comments:

“It’s something that had been happening for a long time. The symptoms had surfaced even before the last project. He was still capable of knowing what he wanted to do.

“I said to him, ‘Do you want to go through with what we’re doing?’ And he said, ‘Shit, yeah.’ He liked to finish what he started.”


As a result of his condition, Young was left unable to remember his own classic riffs and was getting treatment during the Black Ice tour between 2008 and 2010. Angus says:

“He had to relearn a lot of things”

“It was very strange for him. But he was always a confident guy, and we made it work. He still likes his music. We make sure he has his Chuck Berry, a little Buddy Holly.”

In other AC/DC news, Angus has commented on the ongoing PHIL RUDD investigation in which the drummer faces 7 years in prison if found guilty of threatening to kill and possession of illegal substances:

“We haven’t had contact,” says the guitarist. “He’s got himself in a pickle. We had a few issues with him – it was hard even to get him to do the recording. Then he was supposed to do promos with us, video shoots and a few other things and he never showed up for that. It’s a pretty tough call for us.”
