“I honestly believe that you have to be able to play the guitar hard if you want to be able to get the whole spectrum of tones out of it. Since I normally play so hard, when I start picking a bit softer my tone changes completely, and that's really useful sometimes for creating a more laid-back feel.” IfsWantFeelsBelieveSometimesHardPlayWholeAbleBitsCreatingGuitarHonestlyToneSpectrumLaid Back Author:Angus Young

“I remember one of the first gigs I played with that amp was at a local church. They wanted someone to fill in with the guitar and my friend say, 'Ah, he can play.' And so I dragged the amplifier down and started playing and everybody started yelling 'turn it down!'” FirstsPlayWantedRememberTurnsChurchMy FriendsDown AndGuitarLocalsGigsYellingLocal ChurchAmplifiersWanted Someone Author:Angus Young
“Actually, because I'm so small, when I strike an open A chord I get physically thrown to the left, and when I play an open G chord I go right. That's how hard I play, and that's how a lot of my stage act has come about. I just go where the guitar takes me.” HardPlayLeftStageGuitarStrikesThrownTake MeChords Author:Angus Young
“It's just rock and roll. A lot of times we get criticized for it. A lot of music papers come out with: 'When are they going to stop playing these three chords?' If you believe you shouldn't play just three chords it's pretty silly on their part. To us, the simpler a song is, the better, 'cause it's more in line with what the person on the street is.” IfsBelievePersonsPlaySongThreeCausesLinesStreetsRocksPaperSillyRock And RollPapersChordsIf You Believe Author:Angus Young
