Angus Young (born March 31 1955 in Glasgow Scotland) is one of the songwriters and the lead guitarist of the Australian hard rock band AC/DC. Young and his family moved to Australia where he and his brother Malcolm played in a few rock bands before they founded AC/DC in 1973.
After wearing various costumes on stage (including Superang), Angus Young followed a suggestion from his sister and began wearing his Ashfield Boys' High school uniform on stage, which has become one of the trademarks of AC/DC. During live shows, he would clamber on singer Bon Scott's shoulders and they would make their way through the audience with smoke streaming from a satchel on Angus' back while he played an extended solo. Even in later years, Angus Young is notorious for his intense moves and jumps onstage such as the Duck Walk, which was inspired from his idol Chuck Berry.
