There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs, but it doesn't stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.
Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.
Once you're on stage you can't go back, even when things go wrong people expect you to stay there and entertain them. When all else fails, you've got to try tap dancing.
With AC/DC, we've always started with rock, and we've just kept it going. The critic's view is always , 'They just made an album and it's the same as the last one.' I'll have fifteen of them, anytime.
Every guitarist I would cross paths with would tell me that I should have a flashy guitar, whatever the latest fashion model was, and I used to say, 'Why? Mine works, doesn't it? It's a piece of wood and six strings, and it works.'
I love the music from Nat King Cole, BB King, Albert King... When I think of it, I wouldn't mind being renamed Angus King.
It's just rock and roll. A lot of times we get criticized for it. A lot of music papers come out with: 'When are they going to stop playing these three chords?'

We want to appeal to everyone and get rich quick. We want to be millionaires. I've got this plan to buy Tasmania you see...
I just go where the guitar takes me.
I've got the blues in my heart, and the devil in my fingers.
I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.
It would be no different than it is here. The Carter Center runs the programs and the parks service maintains the grounds and the buildings.
