AC/DC

In a recent interview on USA Today, AC/DC guitarist, Angus Young, said that the new album is a tribute to his brother, Malcolm.

“I had a lot of material together and our management was wondering if we were thinking about a new album. So it was a case of contacting everyone to see if we’d all be on board”, said Angus

The guitarist said that “Power Up” is “a tribute” to his late brother, founding AC/DC rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, who died in 2017 from effects of dementia at age 64, and is credited as a writer on all 12 tracks on “Power Up”.

“I think he would be proud of the job we’ve done for him. Even the title we give it, ‘Power Up’, pretty much sums him up, too. When he put on that guitar, he was one big guitar. To put it this way: When he played guitar, it sounded like there were two people playing.”
