He is "the best there is the best there was and the best that ever will be"

hed prolly be better if he didnt wear a schoolboy uniform

Angus IS THE BEST... I Think that he and Jimi Hendrix shod share the first place

Angus is an awesome guitarist and the things he does are so difficult like one hand guitar playing.

If you don't like Angus Young or AC/DC at all then you must just hate music... great guitarist in a great band!

he has a style of his own has a wierd style of solos and to all the peeple who dont like him u try doing half as good listen to let their be rock

If it weren't for Angus I'm not sure what would've happened with hard rock in the 70's & 80's. He is a master of 3 chord progression rock.

he is the best he is a god at the Guitar and i wish Bon Scott didnt die

Right up there in the best. Lead guitarist for one of the biggest rock bands in his teens! Thats got to say something

he is f****** awesome and he has such a tecnique...He deserves this rating.He is super

Not zesty.

i love angus young but he is a one dimensional bruiser who i would rate higher but he's  over rated so this 1 star restores a little equality to his rating.

great metal hard guitaring

he is awesome go ac/dc!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of the guys that really got things going for my age group

Technically perhaps not the best , but it sure sounds good! I do love his work as a guilty pleasure.

you must be able to mock your heads 5 thousand times a night and stomp your feet 5 thousand times to be call great. All showmenship but lacks abilites.

OVER RATED!! but good

Puts on a really good show but 3-chord rock aint that hard.

The outfit makes it

listen to 'dirty deeds' his solo in that song has to be one of the worst ever.

I respect Angus Young but it is hard to call him one of the greats. He tends to play the same chords over and over again. Once you have heard his playing on one album, you pretty much have heard his entire arsenal.

always has a great rhythm and groove

seriously he's the best

Malcolm is the better player in AC/DC, without his rythym lines the songs would be unlistenable. Angus is totally one-dimensional, each solo is nearly identical. His leads have too much sameness. I do like a few of the songs though: Thunderstruck, For Those About To Rock . . ., Hell's Bells, and a few more.

All of his stuff is pretty much the same riff over and over again. It is a cool riff but he is an overrated player.

he did more with 3 notes than most do with the whole fingerboard!! great showman not flashy but knows how to make great muisc with less! and realizes that -what you dont play(the rest) is as important as what you do play --just like eric clapton

He is so awesome. He is all over the stage playing great classic riffs. People overlook his brother Malcolm who is a great rhythm guitarist as well.

fuckin awsome

ohhhhh yeah

Fun...

Dig some of the riffs and I like gis tone, but I'm not a huge AC/DC fan.

the best guitar player in the world ac/dc kicks ass

the best

HELL YAZ!!!!!!!!!! MAN HES FUCKEN BAD ASS RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!I WOULD PICK HIM AS BEST GUITARIST ANYDAY BTICH!

ANGUS YOUNG IS THE GREATEST GUITARIST EEEEEEVVVVVEERR!!!!!

shit yes

Oof. He's good fun and all, but eventually you get bored with three chords. A lot of AC/DC's stuff is painfully repetitive. Not the most imaginative or technically advanced guitarist, but a lively and important one all the same.

brillant

This guy rocks more than any other guitarist on the planet, no effects, purely a feel for rock, his phrasing and vibrato are without equal then throw in the tone he gets and you got yourself the perfcect rock guitarist bar none. Most of the top guitarists on this poll just plain say look how fast i can play this solo, and for how long, fuckin hours on end, BORING VIRTUOSOS, Angus knows when to reel it in, thats why ac/dc outsell all bar zepplin, and they have only sold more cos they`ve been around for like 200 years!!

the absolute real deal !!  basically puts on a whole 2 hour show by himself

Awesome Guitarist!!! You can critic this man when you can play like him!!! Wannabe assholes!!!

Angus is top five of all time, on this site he is ranked only in the top forty now that is a joke.

OK so you say he's not the best huh? Well then how about you show me another guitarist who can play Thunderstruck without a whammy bar or digital effects. Or mabey another guitarist who can play the solo riff in Shake a Leg while spinning around on the floor without missing a note. ANGUS YOUNG IS THE BEST GUITARIST THERE EVER WAS,IS, OR WILL BE!!!!! GET IT IN YOUR HEAD!!!!!

I dont think so

the same riff for 30 years gets old.

Opinions vary greatly from person to person but I think based on overall skill, handspeed, consistency, originality and the ability to kick your ass with a single solo everytime, I have to say Angus young should be up there among the top 2 or 3!

  Angus really enjoys his guitar. Nobody gets into more and has more fun spinning around on stage! And doesn't miss a note....AC-DC are a great rock and roll band, and Angus does what he does well. Has some great pull-offs and hammer-on technique. And has some great riffs too. He might not be the best ever, but Angus we salute you!

Acca Dacca rules.  Angus is the best - no-one makes marching music sound so cool.

Angus is the best guitarist to ever walk the earth. He is not only a guitarist but a genius musician.
