Angus Young has said countless times that he couldn't do what he does if it wern't for Malcolm. Without him the band wouldn't be around, they wouldn't exsist, and even if they would've been formed and made it big they wouldn't be anywhere close to as good as they are now. Malcolm, when AC/DC first stared was a better guitarist than Angus, and the only reason he didn't take the lead guitar spot is because he didn't want to be in the spotlight. Now i'm not sure if that holds true today, but it very easily could. I love Malcolm in that completly hedro way, but he is an amazing guitarist and damnit he deserves as much respect as anyone else, i'd love to see anyone that rated him anything less than 5 stars play the guitar they way that Malcolm does!

He is vital to the AC/DC sound. He doesn't get enough credit because of his brother.
