Default I've met Angus Young yesterday

It was a weird day for me man.. i work in a guitar shop but we also sell drums, PA, and piano's

all of the sudden this old tiny man walks in and asks if we sell ludwig drumkits. we told the man sure take a look upstairs on the first floor.

we dont get so many english speaking customers so thats allready special to us

but i knew that angus young lives in holland not to far from our shop like a 20 min drive

but i still didnt know for sure if it were him..

so he was looking at some drumkits while i was googling for some pics for angus young and then i knew for sure that it was angus young

but i also couldnt believe it because he was so laid back and friendly and most of all way smaller than i wuld ever thought

he was in the shop for 1 hour and we even had a drink together (coffee)

it was a weird experience but realy cool

Very cool. Did you mention that you knew who he was?

Not realy to be honest i was at work so i figuerd that it wuld be unprofessional to act like a fan.

Plus i didnt want to blow his cover cuz there was not one customer in the shop who realized who he was.

and i even forgot to ask for a autograph

Good move. If he comes back to the store and strikes up a conversation with you, just ask him if he plays in a band. He will either tell you who he is or he won't. You are a true professional.

Cool story.

I ran in to him along time ago. At the time "Highway to Hell" just came out. I think we were about the same size at the time, . I may have been slightly taller
