In the studio, my brother and I have always used a lot of Marshall amps. We like to keep it pretty basic. We just use a couple of cabinets each – sometimes just one, if we think that’s enough. We mainly go for 100-watt and 50-watt heads. Angus Young Read Quote

I have this theory about us. When we started writing our own songs, we were 17 years old. When you’re 17, you write songs for other 17-year-olds. We stopped growing musically when we were 17. We still write songs for 17-year-olds. Angus Young Read Quote

We’ve been in front of really big audiences, and people have said there’s a couple of hundred thousand people out there, but I’ve never really noticed. Angus Young Read Quote
