   AC/DC's Angus Young Reveals Malcolm Young's Dementia Symptoms Began During   
   'Black Ice' Cycle

   AC/DC are forging ahead despite two of their longtime members dealing with   
   serious issues. Guitarist Malcolm Young officially stepped away from the group   
   earlier this year after it was revealed that he was dealing with dementia. The   
   status of drummer    
   Phil Rudd is not as clear, as the musician was arrested earlier this month of   
   'threatening to kill,' drug possession and murder-for-hire charges. Though the   
   murder-for-hire charge was eventually dropped, there's still plenty of legal   
   issues on the table    
   for Rudd.   
   In a new interview with Rolling Stone, guitarist Angus Young addresses both   
   his brother's condition as well as where the band stands with Rudd. During the   
   interview, Angus revealed that Malcolm Young's health issues actually predated   
   the making of the    
   band's upcoming 'Rock or Bust' album, with the guitarist showing signs of   
   memory lapses and concentration issues dating back to the 'Black Ice' album   
   cycle.   
   "It's something that had actually been happening for a long time," says Angus.   
   "[It] had surfaced even before the last project ... [Malcolm] was still   
   capable of knowing what he wanted to do. I said to him, 'Do you want to go   
   through with what we're    
   doing?' and he said, 'S-t, yeah.' Young says his brother liked to finish what   
   he started.   
   Angus revealed that Young had already been receiving treatment during the   
   band's touring of 'Black Ice' between 2008 and 2010, adding, "He got good   
   help, good medical care. [He had] to relearn a lot of things ... which was   
   very strange for him. But he    
   was always a confident guy and we made it work."   
   For 'Rock or Bust,' Malcolm was replaced by Stevie Young, a nephew to the   
   Young brothers. Regarding the new album, singer Brian Johnson says, "It was   
   awful and great at the same time. Angus must have felt strange playing these   
   tunes without Malcolm ... [   
   Stevie] worked his socks off to make sure he was on the money."   
   As for Rudd, Young reiterated some of his recent comments about the drummer's   
   reliability. He recalls that the musician was 10 days late for the 'Rock or   
   Bust' sessions, explaining, "One minute he was coming, then he wasn't, then he   
   was. We're not a band    
   that likes to wait around." Young says the band was one day away from moving   
   on without the drummer when Rudd finally showed and completed his parts.   
   Speaking about the future with Rudd, Young admits, "The drum situation is a   
   question mark, but we will definitely be out there ... But our problems had   
   begun even before the situation he's in now. And our thing was we were going   
   forward." The guitarist    
   concludes that Rudd's arrest was "a big blow," but adds that the band is   
   committed to touring and promoting their new album.
