CLIFF WILLIAMS
Cliff was born on December 14, 1949 in Romford in the London suburbs. It created its own group called Home but the group separates, it joined a group then: Gangster. He will join ACDC for the recording of Powerage in 1978. Angus entrusts "took We it because it had a beautiful mouth, it is significant if one wants to assemble full girls to our concerts". Material On its low, Cliff uses one 1976 Music Man with cords with Addario Flatwounds. For the amplifiers, Cliff uses old women 1970 Ampeg SVT and 8x10 SVT Cab. It uses also a tube Demeter Dl box. Cliff uses a cable instead of a transmitter. In m�diators, it uses of Fender Extra Heavy. Like his/her comrades of "play", Cliff has these clean m�diators with signature but does not use them. They are white, Extra Heavy with its gilded signature and AC/DC marked below, and nothing the whole on the other face. In studio, Cliff is the only one to use DI (Direct Input - It brancvhe directly on the table of mixing). Angus and Malcolm place a microphone in front of their amplifiers. Cliff Williams always plays with low Fender Pick white, which is rare nowadays, and until Ballbreaker, it tends to spread out its lines of low while playing m�diator. On Boogie Man, it plays its line of low with the fingers "(cf it video No Bull), and for him, it was a first. In 98% of the cases, to play m�diator is essential for its job with AC/DC. During the first years, it kept a play as simple as possible, and this was used much for the pieces of the group. By keeping its pretty, solid and not too complicated lines, it kept this sound "thunder" which made the force of AC/DC. When it places a plan of low precis, it was always advisedly, and this always gave the grace for which has Malcolm need for its hard rhythmic parts. One of the best examples would be on "Shot to Thrill" in Donnigton, and the live performance of "Girls Got Rhythm" on live Let There Be double-CD Rock'n'roll 1980 in the box "Bonfire".
