AC/DC guitarist Angus Young and singer Brian Johnson were recently interviewed on the French TV show "Alcaline". You can now watch video footage of their appearance below.Johnson told Australia's ABC that he wasn't sure if the band would continue without founding guitarist Malcolm Young. Johnson explained that he knew the decision would be made by Angus alone, saying: "To me it was always up to Angus. He's one of these two men who made riffs that nobody else made, since they were in school. I really thought it might not happen. If Angus turned round and said, ‘I can't do it without Malcolm,' I would have understood."Malcolm was forced to retire from the band early this year due to the onset of dementia, with his and Angus' nephew Stevie Young replacing him in the lineup.Johnson said that recording the new "Rock Or Bust" album without Malcolm was a "strange feeling," adding, "Your workmate you've been with for the last 35 years isn't there any more. For Angus it was more — it was his brother."Angus chimed in, "It's kind of a hard decision you've gotta make: do you keep going or do you stop? … We've gotta give it a shot.""Rock Or Bust" came out on December 2 and sold 172,000 copies in its first week of release. The band will tour next year although it's unclear whether drummer Phil Rudd will be out with the band due to his recent legal troubles.
