RIP, Malcolm Young, Rock God

[Supafly]

His passing cannot come as a surprise, as his dementia made it necessary for him to be replaced, because his demntia made him forget the very songs he co-wrote. A sad day for Rock.

They say genius and madness are very close. In the case of Malcolm Young, they were sop close that in end, madness took over.

RIP to him

Damn, Angus lost two brothers, in a relatively short time. Another one gone....we're losing to many greats.

A huge loss. I hope Angus has given up cigarettes he and Malcolm were heavy chain smokers and that certainly lead to the stroke that eventually caused his decline. RIP to the greatest rhythm guitarist of all time IMO.

I've always seen him as the pillar of the group, a sad day for sure, and a huge loss for music.

Rest in peace, Malcolm.
