That's usually what happens with AC/DC: you make an album, and then you're on the road flat out. And the only time you ever get near a studio is generally after you've done a year of touring.

More quotes by Angus Young
I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, 'Geez, this is ridiculous.' You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man's Led Zeppelin.
Angus Young
I honestly believe that you have to be able to play the guitar hard if you want to be able to get the whole spectrum of tones out of it. Since I normally play so hard, when I start picking a bit softer my tone changes completely, and that's really useful sometimes for creating a more laid-back feel.
Angus Young
Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.
Angus Young
I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.
Angus Young
I love the music from Nat King Cole, BB King, Albert King... When I think of it, I wouldn't mind being renamed Angus King.

You should hear me on my own. It's horrendous.I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, Geez, this is ridiculous.
Angus Young
When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It's like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show.
Angus Young
Some people say we have thirteen albums that all sound the same. That isn't true. We have fourteen albums that all sound the same.
Angus Young
I remember one of the first gigs I played with that amp was at a local church. They wanted someone to fill in with the guitar and my friend say, 'Ah, he can play.' And so I dragged the amplifier down and started playing and everybody started yelling 'turn it down!'
Angus Young
A lot of people say, 'AC/DC - that's the band with the little guy who runs around in school shorts!'
Angus Young
There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs, but it doesn't stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.
Angus Young
Actually, because I'm so small, when I strike an open A chord I get physically thrown to the left, and when I play an open G chord I go right. That's how hard I play, and that's how a lot of my stage act has come about. I just go where the guitar takes me.
Angus Young
A lot of times you'll hear bands and it's a different sound coming out than what's on stage. Because you can clean it up through a PA and make it sound completely different than what they really sound like.
Angus Young
I wouldn't know any newer bands. We're past the pimple stage.
Angus Young
My part in AC/DC is just adding the color on top.
Angus Young
I just go where the guitar takes me.
Angus Young
Yes, we're still five little people with a noisy attitude.
Angus Young
We want to appeal to everyone and get rich quick. We want to be millionaires. I've got this plan to buy Tasmania you see.
Angus Young
I don't like to play above or below people's heads. Basically, I just like to get up in front of a crowd and rip it up.
Angus Young
I never bothered with cars. I was probably one of the few kids in school who didn't run around with hot-rod magazines. As I would be at home fiddling with my guitar, they would be fiddling with a car engine.
