- — Angus Young
- "I can't even say the word, it's too early in the day to get upset."
- "Angus? I think he's kinda crazy. Since the first night I saw the band way back in Australia, I knew their manager, and I'd never seen the band before and never even heard of AC/DC. And the manager just said stand here, the band comes on in two minutes. So I stood there and this band comes on and there's this little guy, about that big, with a school uniform and a bag on his back going crazy and I laughed, and I must have laughed for half an hour. And I still laugh, and I think he's great."
- — Bon Scott (when asked about Angus Young)
- "We were a scandal in Australia. They love scandal there. Mums tugging their kids away from us in the street: 'Ooh, look - Them!'"
- "My new schoolmates threatened to kick the shit out of me when they heard my Scottish accent. I had one week to learn to speak like them if I wanted to remain intact. Course, I didn't take any notice. No-one railroads me, and it made me all the more determined to speak my own way. That's how I got my name, you know. The Bonny Scot, see?"
- "We're a rock group. We're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird."
- "I don't think any bastard knows who I am anyway, so I never have any trouble getting mobbed off stage."
- "People can go out and hear R.E.M. if they want deep lyrics; but at the end of the night, they want to go home and get fucked! That's where AC/DC comes into it."
- — Malcolm Young
- "I like the bell 'cause it makes a brilliant sound and it was fitting for the time we went through after Bon's death and Back in Black and so on. It was part of the situation at the time. Those cannons I'm not sure about. If it was a real cannon out there and we could blow everyone's brains out, then that would be GREAT."
- — Malcolm Young, on the subject of the bell used in "Hells Bells" and the cannons used in "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)".
- "It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you."
- — Bon Scott (when asked about touring)
- "I've never had a message for someone in my entire life. Except maybe to give out my room number."
- — Bon Scott
- "It's just rock and roll. A lot of times we get criticized for it. A lot of music papers come out with: 'When are they going to stop playing these three chords?' If you believe you shouldn't play just three chords it's pretty silly on their part. To us, the simpler a song is, the better, 'cause it's more in line with what the person on the street is."
