Woke up to this sad news. Been a fan of AC/DC for years. Their sound Thunderstruck was such a perfect fit for the the movie Battlefield.

(CNN)AC/DC co-founder and guitarist Malcolm Young has died after battling dementia for several years, the band announced Saturday. He was 64.

Young died at home with his family at this bedside, the band said in a statement.
Young, along with his brother Angus, founded the legendary rock band in 1975 in Australia.
"Renowned for his musical prowess Malcolm was a songwriter, guitarist, performer, producer and visionary who inspired many," the statement said. "From the outset, he knew what he wanted to achieve and, along with his younger brother, took to the world stage giving their all at every show. Nothing less would do for their fans."​

Rest in peace Malcolm. You brought much happiness to my youth and later.
