Question: who would you say
is the perfect guitar hero?
Clarification: not the best, not your favourite, but the one with the perfect blend of attributes, the
one who best exemplifies the role.
Well, my answer is Angus
Young.
Hard driving riffs that are
informed by – and rival – such riffmeisters as John Lennon and Keith
Richards. Guitar solos that are acts of
sedition, solos that frequently quote Chuck Berry but also convince you that
Jimmy Page is doing his impersonation of Jimi Hendrix.
And the “so-I’m-dressed-as-a-schoolboy-gotta-problem-with-that?”
attitude. I mean, is anything missing?
Oh, and his tone is
amazing. Dark and ballsy, sharp and
biting all at the same time.
Angus is hard as a rock.
