Gutted.... RIP,  but I'm glad he is no longer suffering, what a legacy!

My head said brake, but my heart cried never.

    that is sad, dementia is no respecter of talent or ability.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    Very sad news.

    I played his part in a DC tribute for six years. It didn’t take me long to fully appreciate the genius of his rhythm playing. Unique.

    RIP

    Sad news. :(

    Was watching Let There Be Rock on dvd last night and was thinking how horrible dementia must be. What a legend.

    According to the Daily Telegraph, it's a bit of a double whammy for the Young family, as older brother George Young also recently passed away (October).

    RIP indeed.

    Malcom's passing another end-of-an-era moment in guitarist history. Sincere condolences to the remaining family, and to the band.

    For those about to rock .......

    Liz kershaw mentioned it on 6 radio, but apart from that...

    Proper legend! Malcolm, that is.. :/
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Angus might be the face of the band but Malcolm was the voice. Probably the best rock guitar player ever, for my money.

    Just seen, and very sad to learn of his passing. One of those musicians who have an appeal that goes way beyond their own musical area, just by virtue of being so bloody good.

    was only introducing some new guitar students to the joys of his tight open rock chord style this morning.. Damn shame...

    @Ossyrocks - I always play Malc's part when I've got some AC/DC on the stereo to jam along with. Amazing how those 'simple' patterns and riffs of his can make you look very shabby, very quickly. I've learned so much about timing and economy just from doing this. 

    Absolute legend and very very sad news.
