"When we started out, everyone said we should smarten ourselves up and be more like Led Zeppelin. Then we got to Britain and they told us we should be more like the Sex Pistols. Then it was Metallica and then Nirvana. We always had the same answer to all of them: 'sorry, mate, not interested.' We're AC/DC. And we think they should all be more like us."
— Malcolm Young, Metal Hammer 90's interview.
"I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same."

"In the beginning, back in 1955
Man didn't know 'bout a rock'n'roll show and all that jive
The white man had the schmaltz; the black man had the blues
No-one knew what they was gonna do, but Tschaikovsky had the news, he said
Let there be sound, and there was sound
Let there be light, and there was light
Let there be drums; there was drums
Let there be guitar; there was guitar
Oh, let there be rock!"
