He moves to Sydney with his family when he was only 10 years old. Lefts school as soon as he finds a work. With the money earned in his work, Malcolm buy new guitars and improves his quitar technique. In 1971 joins the Velvet Underground band. In 1973 records an album with George Young and Harry Vanda with the band name: Marcus Hook Roll Band.
Malcolm creates his new band (with the name 'AC/DC' suggested by his sister Margaret, a name that she had read in the rear of an vacuum cleaner).
His first idea around AC/DC was to include a keyboard player, to make stronger the rhythmic base of the band, but quickly changes his mind and decided to include a second guitar player (that's the way Angus enters to AC/DC).
The first performance of the band was in 1973 (31th December), on the Chequers Club (Sydney), covering a set of Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry and The Beatles.
Malcolm is the "brain" of AC/DC, the compositive axis. |
