Mastodon guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds has recalled the time AC/DC’s lead guitarist Angus Young told him off in a bathroom.
In an interview on podcast Let There Be Talk Hinds’ went into detail about the awkward encounter:
“Angus Young was my original first favorite guitar player. So I take him, like grab his arm and take him to the bathroom. I was waiting for him and I was like, ‘Hey man, I just want to thank you for your work’ and he just looks at me like I’ve got shit on my face or something. ‘I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.’ And he said, ‘What are you talking about?’ I’m like, ‘I started playing guitar because of you.’ And he’s like, ‘Quit pissing in my pocket.’ I was like, ‘Fuck you,’ basically. I say, ‘Your pocket is way too far down there to piss in.”
Last month, it was revealed that Gretsch would be honouring the life and legacy of Malcolm Young — Angus’ late brother and rhythm guitarist of AC/DC— with a new signature guitar model. Young passed away in November last year, following a long battle with dementia.
