In the opinion of Steel Panther guitarist Satchel, Malcolm Young is probably “the greatest rocker of all time”
band guitarist Steel Panther, Satchel talked about great artists of international rock to the loudwire last week. At the time, the musician commented that Malcolm Youngof AC DCis probably the greatest rocker of all time.
It turns out that for Satchelthe late guitarist of AC DC is more influential in the world of rock than Eddie Van Halen or Eric Clapton. Although it has influenced several careers, however, Malcolm Young is quite underrated by other artists.
Not enough guitarists are talking about Malcolm Young. I don’t think it’s a problem, but I’ll say this: Malcolm Young was probably rock’s most influential guitarist. If not, on the guitar [ou na música, em geral]”, he commented.
Right away, Satchel pointed out that Malcolm Young “probably influenced more people as a guitarist than Eddie Van Halen”. “[Ele influenciou] more than Eddie Van Halen, Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton and any guitarist, because think of all the bands that came after AC DC who tried to write songs that sound like AC DC with three chords”, defended the guitarist, still in an interview.
Finally, as reported by the website guitar, Satchel took the opportunity to choose the disk Back in Black (1980) as one of the most influential of his adolescence. “Everyone thought they were done, right? So they released Back in Black. What an inspiring album to go back and just shove down everyone’s throats.”
