When he was Young. Description paragraph.

Today I'd like to leave the main subject of my blog on one side because of some news that I recently learned about, and which I couldn't overlook, the retirement of one of the greatest guitarists in the world due to some health problems. This is the story of Malcolm Young. Even though he was always under the shadow of his young brother Angus, AC/DC would have never had such a characteristic sound if it hadn't been for Malcolm. That's why he has become a reference for me, without being really noticed, he changed music histoy and the way many people thought about rock n roll. His generosity by giving his role of leading guitar to his younger brother Angus and all that it entails is for me an example of how music bands should be. Many of the intros or riffs that we all know like "Highway to Hell", "Thunderstruck" and an infinite list of songs were written by him, songs which are now on our imaginary. On stage his guitar was always second best, but in the backstage he was the leader and who took important decisions, paradoxically he had "the singer voice". This is not the first time he hags out his guitar, in 1988, after Brian Scott's death, he became aware of his alcochol addiction and decided to take a break untill he overcame it, he came back the following year. Today, at 61 years old his retirement becomes final due to dementia, and he's now at a famous residence in Sydney. I hope people to respect the privacy of one of the Rock's Hall of Fame members because it's a really hard disease and him to take it as well as posible. Thanks.
