A giant gone: Malcolm Young dies.

Malcolm Young, one of the founders of AC/DC, has passed away. He, alongside Pete Townsend, was my main inspiration when I picked up the guitar almost 40 years ago. The most solid rhythm guitarist in rock'n'roll is what he was. R.I.P. Malcolm.

Dementia that bad at 64 makes one wonder if he also had diabetes... Malcolm was "The Sound" of AC / DC, imo.

Damn, I'm totally bummed now.

R.I.P. Malcolm.

Crap! Only a few years older than moi and it makes me feel old even though I'm still 25 at heart.

I lost my father in-law to Alzheimers at the age of 59. Dementia isn't really all that choosy when it comes to age.

RIP Malcolm

No, it certainly isn't.
