> [@AppallingGael](#): > > I don’t know this one. Take a DQ. Malcolm Young is the rhythm guitarist of AC/DC. His older brother George Young was in the Easybeats (who sang the Sixties hit “Friday on My Mind”) while his younger brother Angus, the lead guitarist of AC/DC, always wears an Australian schoolboy outfit on stage.
