RIP Malcolm Young. Sweet, quiet man. Made all his noise with his guitar. AC/DC night at my house, and loud. Rock and roll ain't noise pollution.

It is a sad day in rock and roll. Malcolm Young was my friend and the heart and soul of AC/DC. I had some of the best times of my life with him on our 1984 European tour. He will be missed and my deepest condolences to his family, bandmates and friends.

Dave Grohl took to the Foo Fighter’s Instagram to tell his story of Young:

“37 years ago, my friend Larry Hinkle and I went to see a midnight movie on a Friday night at the Uptown Theater in Washington, D.C. It was 1980. We were 11 years old. The movie was Let There Be Rock, and it changed my life.

That film, a live AC/DC performance from Paris, 1979 is everything that live rock and roll should be – sweaty, loose, loud. A relentless performance from the perfect band. It was the first time I lost control to music, the first time I wanted to be in a band. I didn’t want to play my guitar anymore, I wanted to smash it.

Thank you Malcolm for the songs and the feel and the cool and the years of losing control to your rock and roll. I will do just that tonight, for you.

Malcolm Young RIP – Dave”

The Foo opened their show last night in Mexico City with AC/DC’s “Let There Be Rock”.

Later on in the show, while performing “The Pretender”, the band added in bits of “Who Made Who” and “The Rocker.”
