Demon Fire

"Demon Fire" is a track by AC/DC from their 2020 studio album Power Up, released through Columbia Records. The album marked the reunion of vocalist Brian Johnson, drummer Phil Rudd, and bassist Cliff Williams, and serves as a tribute to co-founder Malcolm Young, who passed away in 2017 and received posthumous songwriting credit. For electric guitar players, the song is a solid example of AC/DC's signature hard rock rhythm work, making it a rewarding study in tight, blues-rooted riffing.

  • Malcolm Young co-wrote the song before his death in 2017, giving it a direct link to AC/DC's classic songwriting era.
  • The track runs approximately 3 minutes 30 seconds, typical of AC/DC's concise, riff-driven song structures.
  • Power Up features the reunited classic lineup, making its guitar parts a benchmark for the band's enduring hard rock style.

Gibson SG Standard

Angus Young's 1968 Gibson SG Standard is the foundation of AC/DC's signature tone, its lightweight mahogany body and full upper-fret access enabling his aggressive, fluid lead work. Stock Gibson humbuckers push Marshall Plexi amps into natural tube saturation, giving him the perfect balance of dynamics and crunch without relying on effects.

Marshall Plexi (1959 Super Lead)

The Marshall 1959 Super Lead cranked to full volume is where Angus Young's power comes from, with no master volume control forcing the power tubes to compress and break up naturally. This thick, harmonically rich overdrive defines AC/DC's raw, unprocessed rock tone straight from guitar to amp.

Marshall JTM45

Angus Young uses the Marshall JTM45 as his primary amp for achieving natural tube saturation at high volumes, where the amp's power tubes generate organic overdrive without any pedal assistance. This minimalist, direct approach captures AC/DC's core sound: pure, uncolored guitar and amp interaction.
