Back in Black | Angus Young Isolated Guitar (Live at Donington)

[@betterinsodapop]

Interesting how different Angus and Malcolm's guitar tones are. Angus has heavy, distorted and thick sound, while Malcolm had a twangy, slightly overdriven sound. Pure magic when you put them together.

[@meytecc8601]

What I find most interesting is how different they are rhythmically. That may be in fact their magic sauce. Angus is clearly pushing it here, he's a little ahead of the beat. Malcolm on the isolated track is laid back, almost slightly behind - a little like Bonham used to play drums. This combination may be the trick that makes their sound.

[@JeffStrickland]

Absolutley! That's the tension and drive in AC/DC's sound--Malcolm (Phil and Cliff too, really) laying back and Angus persisting to push forward. Incredible timing individually, and electrifying when combined.@@meytecc8601

You have to set different tones to have both players stand out in the mix....This is by design

[@ThaiThom]

Angus is pushing more watts than Mal.

[@ernesteison7979]

This is really tight, with playing this running all over the stage.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Incredibly clean playing, even as far as studio recordings are concerned. If this really is the live recording, it's wild.

[@acdcisolated]

Sadly it's an overdub like most of the tracks from the Donington gig.

[@gringotroller]

@@acdcisolatedwhat do you mean overdub?

[@acdcisolated]

@@gringotroller Instead of using the tracks that were recorded live, they used tracks that they recorded in a studio later on.

[@gringotroller]

@@acdcisolated dang I’ve always loved Live at Donington. Not sure how to feel about that…

[@acdcisolated]

@@gringotroller Yeah it's quite disappointing. I don't see why they felt the need to replace them. Some parts (like Malcolm in For Those About to Rock) are the original recording and they still sound awesome

[@Remco96187]

Am I the only who believes Angus had some chorus effect on his guitar tone in the Razor's Edge era? You can hear it in this video as well as the Razor's Edge album and many early 90's live recordings. Especially prominent in Are You Ready and Moneytalks. I simply CAN'T be the only one who hears this!

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

Look up his wireless unit. You can buy or build clones of it, and he also used it in the studio.

[@Remco96187]

@@rocketpigrecords3719 I know his wireless units. They just provide a little more extra drive and compression. Doesn't really explain the chorus effect, in my opinion. Am I missing something?

[@caseD5150]

@@Remco96187I think it was just the amp head/cab combinations of that album. I always felt they did a really good job taking the sound of the album on tour, which I figured always lied within thier amp choices

The solo sounds lame. Why change the original to a set of bad sounding phrases?

[@acdcisolated]

It hasn't been changed, it's the one from the live performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKesnqyGaqqMmZo
