No need to even see the clip for me, awesome jazz lead runs and when he starts running, he's playing better than I ever have sitting still in a chair, unreal.

Angus surpassed Page for me in the pre 1980 AC/DC days, and I could play most of it, Page it's not even possible.

Agreed. Fake. Angus can't do that.

You can see him playing every note when you see his hands, and to think Angus couldn't play Jazz runs or shred is ludicrous.

His net worth today from playing guitar $160 million.

The whole band seems to be playing the number? His steps are in time to the music, etc, etc. What's to gain by posting a video of Angus playing something he can't play, I'm lost here.

The internet grows more tiring by day.

Thx for posting this, I absolutely love it. I hated AC/DC when my little brother started playing their albums - aren't we all fools at some some point - then want totally apesh*t for Angus's lead playing, everything about them until tragic 1980, never bought a record or cared for the band as much with Brian Johnson but Angus's playing never diminished, and to think that he couldn't play a little jazz or shred three bars doesn't compute for me.

I'd like to see Angus interviewed about this, bypass all the "experts".


Here he is old enough to retire 3 times over and in the first few bars you can see that he can do more than playing incredible pentatonic runs, I think he has complete control over the instrument.



All through the years that AC/DC was #1, any and all local players commonly said (a human parrot gene?) "AC/DC is easy, anybody can play it" far far far from any kind of meaningful truth. I roadied with an amazing band that did an "AC/DC show, AC/DC songs up to Highway to Hell, absolutely FABULOUS cover band, not a note or drumbeat out of place, people were going wild for these shows. I was personal guitar roadie, ran a Peterson Strobotuner in the back, a smoke machine, having a freakin blast.

The video is a fake, albeit a fake that has 2.1m views on YouTube.


In my usual humorless fashion I am not seeing any humor from the people who pretend it is real and comment accordingly. April Fool's is over.

I thought it was real Fro, but I must not have been looking too closely. It would be a very interesting veer for AC/DC to do such a cover...Feel free to delete the thread, but I was sincere in making it.

Who gets to decide what's real and what's not for others.

The video is 6 years old and has nothing to do with any April Fool's joke, never has.
