"Truly Defined the Band's Lean 'n' Mean Sound"

"From 1973, when he formed AC/DC with his young brother Angus, to 2014, when dementia and other health issues forced his premature retirement, Malcolm never once allowed the band to deviate from its swinging, swaggering, riff-driven course. During Malcolm's tenure, AC/DC's recordings featured three different lead vocalists, three different bassists and five different drummers; and yet, the band's musical aesthetic remained so stubbornly consistent as to make the Ramones look like flighty trend-jumpers by comparison."

Dan Epstein at Rolling Stone writes an obit for Malcolm Young.
