Angus McKinnon Young was born on March 31, 1955 in Glasgow, Scotland. Angus is best known for his hard-edge blues style lead guitar, incredible energy, wild stage antics and his schoolboy outfit. Angus started playing guitar when he was five. He made his first guitar by taking a banjo his family had lying around the house and restringing it as a guitar. In his eary teens he started playing acoustic guitar and got his first Gibson SG after seeing it in a friend's catalogue. Until then, he had been playing on his brother Malcolm's guitar. Angus and Malcolm Young are arguably the greatest brother guitar
team of all-time. Together they have created some of the most memorable
guitar riffs of Angus developed his signature "spasm" move while playing
live in a small club in Australia when he tripped over a cable onstage,
and just kept pounding out the solo. It went over so well, he made
it into part of his act by having a seizure-like "spasm"
onstage every night. Click here to download the Angus McKinnon Young 1024x768 image. Click here to return to the Hall Of Fame.
