Angus Young Angus Young is the lead guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder of the Australian hard rock band ACDC, known for his wild stage energy and schoolboy uniform stage outfit.
Angus Young was born on March 31, 1955 of William and Margaret Young in Glasgow, Scotland. He was one of nine children. He and all his siblings were brought up in Syndey, Australia.
