AC/DC have been banging out straight ahead rock n roll for over 40 years now and I doubt there's a guitarist anywhere that didn't start out learning their songs.

AC/DC haven't exactly come up with the most intricate or complicated riff-age but they have provided the hard rock soundtrack to generations of people's lives.  Sadly, guitarist Malcolm Young is stepping out.

The first track from it .. "Play Ball" .. will be heard a lot on TBS during their coverage of the American League playoffs.

AC/DC plan a huge tour in 2015.

As for who will tour with them, they're keeping it in the family.

Malcolm's shoes will be filled by his (and brother Angus Young's) nephew, Stevie Young.
