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.

From Angus Young

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

From 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.

From Angus Young

A lot of people say, 'AC/DC - that's the band with the little guy who runs around in school shorts!'

From Angus Young

My part in AC/DC is just adding the color on top.

From Angus Young

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.

From 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.

From Angus Young

I never bothered with cars. I was probably one of the few kids in school who didn't run around with hot-rod magazines. As I would be at home fiddling with my guitar, they would be fiddling with a car engine.

From Angus Young

That's usually what happens with AC/DC: you make an album, and then you're on the road flat out. And the only time you ever get near a studio is generally after you've done a year of touring.
