Moneytalks

"Moneytalks" is a hard rock track by AC/DC, written by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young and released as the second single from the band's twelfth studio album, The Razors Edge, in November 1990. Produced by Bruce Fairbairn, it showcases the straightforward, rhythm-driven riff style that defines AC/DC's signature sound. For electric guitarists, it is an excellent study in tight rhythm playing, power chord technique, and the interplay between Malcolm's driving chord work and Angus's lead lines.

  • The song was written by both Malcolm and Angus Young, making it a great example of the brothers' classic collaborative songwriting approach.
  • A live version recorded during the 1990–1991 Razors Edge World Tour was later released on AC/DC's 1992 live album, Live.
  • "Moneytalks" appeared on The Razors Edge, AC/DC's twelfth studio album, produced by Bruce Fairbairn.

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.
