Malcolm Young
Malcolm Young was born in Sydney, Australia, and at the age of 20, he and his brother Angus co-founded Australia’s biggest rock band, AC/DC. Malcolm started to play rhythm guitar while Angus took the lead. According to legend, they chose the name AC/DC after seeing the letters on the top of their older sister Margaret’s sewing machine. Malcolm and his band were touring Europe with Black Sabbath by the late 1970s. It was said that they didn’t get along with Black Sabbath very well. According to one account, when things got heated, Sabbath guitarist Geezer Butler pulled out a knife on Malcolm.
