“Riffs are a repeating thing. They come back to you. Some of the things on 'Back …” — Angus Young

Hearing a lot of early rock n' roll records from a very young age was a huge influence.

Nothing happened overnight. Every country we went into, we started at the bottom. We knew that because the music we were playing and the attitude we had, we knew we'd be at the bottom and have to work our way up.

The media, being what it is, is always looking for the next new thing. There are still bands out there playing, no matter what the new thing is. The Stones go out there, and people go see them without records or even airplay.

When we grew up, Australia was the land of opportunity; it really was.
