Yesterday I went to our local Hard Rock Cafe here in Pittsburgh, PA. A pair of Angus Young's black leather hi-tops Reebok sneakers were encased for display. -- They looked about a size 6 (USA) women. I didn't know if they were legitimate! Funny thing is, my 87 year old mom who is also 5'2"'has a simular pair and about the same size; that is why they caught my eye! He must be a petite fellow. But good things come in small packages....

Angus looks like about 5'6 or 5'7, his guitar is big on him because he is skinny, i have the same brand guitar and it looks the same size on me as it does on angus and Iam 5'8.5".Plus he looks taller with his shoes on.
Sorry, but Angus is not 5'6" or 5'7". He's probably under 5'2" today at 54 years old. Mark D. says on 13/Jul/09
To the claim below, again, 'skinny' has no effect on guitar size. I'm 6'4.5" and play some bass guitar and THEY look small compared to me and I'm also a very thin person. As is, again Green Gartside of Scritti Politti, but those large-body guitars look normal compared to him due to his height, not girth. guyfrommars says on 23/Jun/09
5ft5 Bon Scott wore a lot of heels in the '70s, mostly ca. 3 inches. Angus wore flat trainers all the time as much as I remember. Marc says on 17/Jun/09

You can tell musician size by guitars. In the 'Back In Black' video Malcolm has a large hollow body guitar, almost as big as he is. Yet in 'Absolute', by Scritti Politi, the same guitar seems normal size on Green Gartisde, as he's actually 6'6". Karen says on 25/May/09
can anyone tell me if Angus went to Burwood Primary School. I am sure I went to school with him and remember him as being nice boy, quite small in size with long bob haircut. He must have a the it factor even then as out of all the people in my class he is one of the only ones I can remember. dangerous says on 22/Apr/09
he plays what fits with the songs. could he bust out the same tunes as the 'greatest ever'? i think so Chris says on 30/Mar/09
Angus is 5'2 I think.
Not a very good player IMHO.I like Ac/Dc but Malcom is the real guitarist in that band Angus is the showman. iClarke-93 says on 6/Mar/09
He's an increduble guitarist considering he has such short stubby fingers! 5'2 is spot on Malcolm is 5'3. Arthur says on 22/Dec/08
He's famously known as the shortest lead guitarist of any band at, er, 5ft 4inches.
So I can't imagine what he's the shortest as, at 5ft 2 =) De Lotte says on 17/Dec/08
funny line in a recent interview, angus talked about walking into town to buy cigs at his local gas station and "all the window blinds go up to see the little tramp walk down the street" apparrettely he lives pretty anomimously in his town in the nederlands Tom182 says on 8/Dec/08
He must feel really short, he lives in the Netherlands and the average male height is 6ft tall. But Angus is the best! Patty says on 25/Oct/08
Thanks for answering an important, but "short" question for my husband and I.
I really did not think that Angus was that short, comparing him to Brian Johnson. Billy says on 20/Oct/08
He's actually scottish, he's family moved to Australia when he was little, well....ahem. When he was a kid. Josephine says on 12/Jul/08
This is funny. I mean Australians have a reputation for being tall. I have a friend who lives in OZ and he gets teased being called "hobbit" and what not...he is 5'8" tall!
It seems AC/DC recruited some of the few short Australian guys around.. Carole says on 27/Feb/08
They may be short but they pack a mighty punch! I'm 5'3 & quite ok with it...we on the same level. jack fraser says on 18/Feb/08

I think i could be the shortest Angus fan, Jack 12 Danimal says on 14/Nov/07
No, if it were for Brian, Cliff and probably Phil, this thing would have been released YEARS ago. Brian has said that the 3 Young brothers (George included) are REALLy hard headed and want this to be perfect. It's obvious the others are restless seeing they are touring without. Either that, or they're low on cash. Kylee says on 10/Nov/07
Being short is awesome I'm only 4'9. Its cool that only one fan is shorter than Angus and thats me. I love Angus Young hes so hot. Its very cool being short its awesome "Hell Yeah." Hes ****ing awesome. There band is so cool!! xD says on 19/Jun/07
really? thats ****ing awesome! Danimal says on 31/Mar/07
They were on Howard Stern not that long ago and yeah, Brian couldn't sing for @#$#@ anymore. Danimal says on 30/Mar/07
LEast good for me would either have been Fly On The Wall or the one just before Razor's Edge (mental block). My favorite is Let There Be Rock, Back in Black and Dirty Deeds.. Danimal says on 28/Mar/07
Yeah man, it's hard to find balance, huh? When things are going well, I always find a way to question it and end up screwing things up as a result. Lmeister says on 28/Mar/07
AC/DC is the best band ever. When I was younger I used like Brian Johnson more, but nowadays prefer the old Bon Scott albums. My first hardrock album was the Razors Edge and I still love it... Danimal says on 27/Mar/07
Life sucked for the last 5+ weeks, but things are picking up lately. How you doin' man? Danimal says on 26/Mar/07
Riff Raff on If You Want Blood You've Got It is awesome! sco B says on 25/Mar/07
seems about right, but height does not have much to do with it. I'm 5'7" an 16 and I still cannot play the blues solos like angus can. Yeah ACDC is a pretty short band. But they do rock hard and they do rock good. Bon was 5'5" right, he actually seemed pretty tall in a video on youtube.com with the valentines. Geoff says on 7/Mar/07
AC-DC appeared at our high school in Toowoomba about 1976 supported by TMG. Concerts were banned for about 20 years after that. Edwin says on 25/Feb/07
R, yes, I believe Rudd is pretty small too, maybe 5-6ish? Cliff always looked "tall" compared to the others but apparently is in the 5-7 or 8 range. R says on 7/Feb/07
Havn't seen any mention of Phil Rudd, guess he is tiny also? Marty o says on 8/Jan/07
5'2 is about right. I met Angus in the mid-80s after a show. He was totally cool with signing autographs and BSing with the small group of fans. I respect that guy. LGT says on 31/Dec/06
Dwarf don't be an idiot! There are ways to calculate from pictures... Dwarf says on 1/Dec/06
If you see people on a picture, you can't say exactly what their high is! Marissa says on 20/Oct/06
It gives hope to us short people everywhere. I love AC/DC especially Powerage that was sweet. Fergus says on 15/Oct/06
Ohh Shit Man!!! I cannot believe it Gleen, AMAZING!LOL... They`re my idols speacilly angus..and i was wondering if angus got more than 170...you know, i have problems to grow up and im taking medicines and this is a hope man..tall is nothing just shit Anonymous says on 28/Sep/06
I met Chris Slade (former drummer) in a pub once, pretty big guy in terms of build, probably about 5'10 or 5'11 though. Danimal says on 28/Aug/06
Most of those songs are recycled from earlier days, including their classic "Ride On" (Bon Era), but there are a couple of new songs for the soundtracks, mostly without lyrics though. Sink the Pink is great though! It was off of Fly on the Wall and btw, I loved that movie!! Scary it was not, but entertaining it was!! Especially when the soda machine spits out the cans and hits the guy in the head...lol. Zig Zag Wanderer says on 24/Aug/06
I've been an AC/DC fan since I was three years old. I have read waaaayyy too many articles & interviews with these guys. Angus & Malcolm (according to both Angus & Bon) are the same height; 5'2". I've stood about four feet away from Angus, on the same level, & he's about the size of my leg. I don't think he gets enough to eat, peanuts or otherwise. Danimal says on 7/Aug/06
Brad said: "What do they eat down under? Peanuts, gum?" HAHAHAHAHA
Brad says on 7/Aug/06
Geez 5' 8" is 4 inches shorter than 6' and these guys are shorter than 5' 8"? What do they eat down under? Peanuts, gum? AC/DC Freak says on 24/Feb/06
Angus young is 5'2
in an interview on the guitar show he said so Bill says on 23/Feb/06
Malcolm seems to be 5' 3" Danimal says on 18/Jan/06
I have an old video of a concert from their Highway to Hell tour and on the back of the box, it states Angus's height as 5'3". I think he is probably 5'2", but NO way is Malcolm 5'5"...lol..
To answer your question A-Bomb, Cliff and Brian were the same height. I think it's possible that Cliff could have stretched out to 5'7" 25 years ago, when they filmed the Back in Black and You Shook Me all Night Long videos. So, Brian at his peak was probably 5'7" MAX. Next to Angus and Malcolm, Cliff and Brian always appeared to be giants. Simon Wright (ex drummer), Bon Scott (former singer) and all other members were all about 5'5"-5'6" as well, or shorter. Marc says on 18/Jan/06
Maxim magazine recently had the "Greatest Short guys". Young was listed as 5'2". I believe that he is actually 5'2". Look at his guitar when he wears it, because it seems kinda large for him. A-Bomb says on 18/Jan/06
How tall is Brian Johnson? I always figured 5'8" |
