Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What type of guitar does Angus play?

Answer: Gibson SG

Angus has not always played an SG. He started off with a Les Paul, but changed to the SG because of the sound difference, and because he liked the double cutaway style. He also keeps a Telecaster on hand as an emergency spare.
2. What date was Angus born?

Answer: March 31, 1955

Angus was born March 31, 1955 in Glasgow, Scotland. A magazine once published that he was born in 1959 so as to keep up the pretense on Angus being a young schoolboy.
3. What date did Angus "die"?

Answer: June 16, 2003

CMU, the daily music newsletter of Unlimited Media, Inc. issued a false report that Angus had passed away at the age of 48 on June 16, 2003. It is unclear where the story came from, or who okayed it, but it is nonetheless untrue. Angus is quite alive and well. Long live Angus!
4. What is Angus' middle name?

Answer: McKinnon

Angus McKinnon Young. How much cooler of a name could you have?
5. How many siblings does Angus have?

Answer: seven

William and Margaret Young had eight children, including George (AC/DC's early influence and producer), Malcolm (AC/DC's founder and rhythm guitarist), and of course, Angus.
6. What did Angus do before he joined AC/DC?

Answer: Printer

"Routine day jobs fueled their dreams of making it as rockers. 'I was a printer,' confides Angus, 'and I just got out as quickly as I could. I used to play at night, and turn up all the time. So they were quite happy to see the back of me, and I was quite happy to see the back of them.'" http://www.crabsodyinblue.com/acdcguitarplayerfeb84.htm
7. What year/model was Angus' first Gibson SG?

Answer: 1968

Angus still has and plays his original '68 SG.
8. What brand of amplifier does Angus use?

Answer: Marshall

Angus usually plays through Marshall amplifiers, with no effects pedals.
9. What gauge of strings does Angus use?

Answer: .009-.042

Angus usually uses .009-.042 gauge Ernie Ball strings, with an extra heavy Fender pick in the normal cut.
10. Who gave Angus the idea to wear his schoolboy uniform on stage?

Answer: His sister

Angus' sister Margaret gave him the idea to wear his schoolboy uniform on stage, because Angus used to pick up his guitar as soon as he walked in the door from school, without bothering to change out of his uniform. Margaret actually hand-sewed the costumes for the first couple of years.
