@jaybird surely you mean well but tbh I don't like the implication that he is "tall" in talent like being tall is better than being short

5ft 2 for angus ... he is not a little person just shorter staturer I have seen a fair sum of females smaller. A little person like brad willams no thoug undeniably short for a male yes. he might be only 5ft 2 but like easy 6ft 5 in talent.

Solid 5’ 2” I feel bad for Angus and Malcolm cause the reason why they ended up being short is due to the fact that the Water they drank as children was contaminated but that definitely didn’t stop him from becoming one of the best guitarist I debate between Angus Young, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimmy Page they were all amazing back in the day

I saw an interview that Mark Evans did where he said he (Mark)was the tallest guy in the band at 5’6”. Mentioned Bon was 5’5” so this is probably accurate

i'm also around 5'2 know i'm also male he is small for a male no doubt about that some might say as far as a midget male. He is not a dwarf though and in overall people height it is not super uncommon to see someone 5'2 not like it is to see an adult like peter drinklage height or so.
#small men so he is small as far as midget even for a male. he is not tiny or dwarf he outsizes quite a few woman also. 5'2 for legendary singer.

Angus Young's guitarist brother, Malcolm, who was 5ft3 and born in Scotland, would have been 68 today. He passed on in November, 2017, on the 18th day, aged 64.

@ Adey P - That’s true! It’s about being a giant in terms of achieving things and being a respectable person and/ or helping others/ charities are the greatest achievements to make. Anyone can do any of these things. Angus is talented and he is a good person.

🎸🎁🎂⚡ Happy Birthday Angus! ⚡🎂🎁🎸
A Very Happy 65th Birthday to Angus Young from the highly original rock/metal band AC⚡DC.
The first album of theirs I bought was 'Highway to Hell'.😈 I went on to buy several more and I had a boyfriend when I was 20 who was quite crazy about them. He had an incomplete tattoo of Bon Scott on his arm!
The funniest track they made has to be 'Big Balls'. When I first heard it, I laughed my @rse off! In fact, I think I'll hear it now....🎶🏀⚽⚾

Hey, that was annoyingly brief! In the episode of 'House' that I am watching right now, they started playing the AC⚡DC track 'Highway to Hell'. There were no actual vocals, but I recognized it anyway. It was played to introduce House's new, flame embossed....

@LG69, Bon was max 5'7"
I think he looked taller because of his thin build, and standing next to Malcolm and Angus made him seem taller than he was. I think Mark Evans was taller
than Bon.

Proof that you don't need stature to be a giant. Also proven by other AC/DC members, Prince, Bono, Danny De Vito etc.

Angus Young has said in a interview that he is 5 feet 3 inches tall. The entire Young family is very short. Bon Scott was around 5 feet 6 inches tall and Brain Johnson is 5 feet 5 inches tall. They may be small but AC/DC rock bigger than anyone around!

Height does not matter at all, Angus is very short but he definitely makes up for it on stage. His short stature means he can jump around lively like a small boy.

Angus looks like about 5'6 or 5'7, his guitar is big on him because he is skinny, i have the same brand guitar and it looks the same size on me as it does on angus and Iam 5'8.5".Plus he looks taller with his shoes on.

You can tell musician size by guitars. In the 'Back In Black' video Malcolm has a large hollow body guitar, almost as big as he is. Yet in 'Absolute', by Scritti Politi, the same guitar seems normal size on Green Gartisde, as he's actually 6'6".

can anyone tell me if Angus went to Burwood Primary School. I am sure I went to school with him and remember him as being nice boy, quite small in size with long bob haircut. He must have a the it factor even then as out of all the people in my class he is one of the only ones I can remember.

He's famously known as the shortest lead guitarist of any band at, er, 5ft 4inches.
So I can't imagine what he's the shortest as, at 5ft 2 =)

No, if it were for Brian, Cliff and probably Phil, this thing would have been released YEARS ago. Brian has said that the 3 Young brothers (George included) are REALLy hard headed and want this to be perfect. It's obvious the others are restless seeing they are touring without. Either that, or they're low on cash.

Hey Glenn, if you liked Powerage, then you probably like Stiff Upper Lip.

You might be right Glenn. When I think of metal, I think of really fast playing. But I guess that would be categorized as speed metal.

Comparing the Bon Scott era to Brian Johnson is interesting. The songs in the Bon Scott era were just great, dirty hard crunchy rock. The songs during the Brian Johnson era are great rock songs that flow perfectly and more accessible to the mainstream.

Yeah man, it's hard to find balance, huh? When things are going well, I always find a way to question it and end up screwing things up as a result.

AC/DC is the best band ever. When I was younger I used like Brian Johnson more, but nowadays prefer the old Bon Scott albums. My first hardrock album was the Razors Edge and I still love it...

seems about right, but height does not have much to do with it. I'm 5'7" an 16 and I still cannot play the blues solos like angus can. Yeah ACDC is a pretty short band. But they do rock hard and they do rock good. Bon was 5'5" right, he actually seemed pretty tall in a video on youtube.com with the valentines.

AC-DC appeared at our high school in Toowoomba about 1976 supported by TMG. Concerts were Banned for about 20 years after that.

R, yes, I believe Rudd is pretty small too, maybe 5-6ish? Cliff always looked "tall" compared to the others but apparently is in the 5-7 or 8 range.

5'2 is about right. I met Angus in the mid-80s after a show. He was totally cool with signing autographs and BSing with the small group of fans. I respect that guy.

I've seen many, many pictures of fans who've had their pictures taken with Angus Young. Never, never has Angus been as tall as or taller than the fan in the photo. Ever. I've been within 10 feet of him myself and I'd say he's 5'2", maybe 5'3" at the absolute most.

I met Chris Slade (former drummer) in a pub once, pretty big guy in terms of build, probably about 5'10 or 5'11 though.

Most of those songs are recycled from earlier days, including their classic "Ride On" (Bon Era), but there are a couple of new songs for the soundtracks, mostly without lyrics though. Sink the Pink is great though! It was off of Fly on the Wall and btw, I loved that movie!! Scary it was not, but entertaining it was!! Especially when the soda machine spits out the cans and hits the guy in the head...lol.

Actually, Malcolm has states that his own height was 5'5" in one interview, which I found hilarious. I was willing to believe at one point that Angus WAS 5'3" and Malcolm 5'4", but not anylonger. Thing is, Cliff was no longer young in that pic with Glenn. I'm sure if he stood straight in that pic, he would have been only slightly shorter and take away 25 years (they don't take care of themselves) and he's at least 5'7", if not 5'8". Brian is shorter.

I've been an AC/DC fan since I was three years old. I have read waaaayyy too many articles & interviews with these guys. Angus & Malcolm (according to both Angus & Bon) are the same height; 5'2". I've stood about four feet away from Angus, on the same level, & he's about the size of my leg. I don't think he gets enough to eat, peanuts or otherwise.

glenn looks like a giant in this picture. :) btw. angus young was voted as the greatest short guy in FHM and as far as i remember they've listed him at 5ft 2 so it's probably right.

I have an old video of a concert from their Highway to Hell tour and on the back of the box, it states Angus's height as 5'3". I think he is probably 5'2", but NO way is Malcolm 5'5"...lol..
To answer your question A-Bomb, Cliff and Brian were the same height. I think it's possible that Cliff could have stretched out to 5'7" 25 years ago, when they filmed the Back in Black and You Shook Me all Night Long videos. So, Brian at his peak was probably 5'7" MAX. Next to Angus and Malcolm, Cliff and Brian always appeared to be giants. Simon Wright (ex drummer), Bon Scott (former singer) and all other members were all about 5'5"-5'6" as well, or shorter.

Maxim magazine recently had the "Greatest Short guys". Young was listed as 5'2". I believe that he is actually 5'2". Look at his guitar when he wears it, because it seems kinda large for him.

I had NO idea that Cliff was this short as well. I thought him and Brian Johnson were about 5'7"-5'8". I was evidently WAY off!! Cliff is MAX 5'6 1/2". Bon Scott was apparently only 5'5"-5'6" as well. Did they go out of their way to hire short band members, or was it a coincidence? The funny thing was that I read an article on Malcolm, where he stated that he was 5'5". Based on that pic with Glenn, Malcom is about 5'2"-5'3" MAX.
