ACDC's Malcolm Young's Sydney neighbours talk



AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young didn't bring the chaos that comes with rock and roll home with him - in fact he lived a quiet life, his neighbours said.



The only time they got a glimpse into his professional life was when he would belt out music from the attic-based studio of his Balmain East home, in Sydney's inner west.



Young, who was laid to rest on Tuesday after a three-year battle with dementia considered the home as a place to escape his celebrity life.



Young, who was a co-founder of AC/DC, was known as one of the greatest guitarists on earth.



As Young's family prepared to say goodbye to the world-famous rhythm guitarist on Tuesday, his neighbours looked back at memories of having the rock god next door, and recalled his generous offer to let them use his swimming pool if they wished.



'It wasn't what you would expect - he didn't have wild parties - and most of the time you only knew he was home if you heard him jamming in his studio,' one neighbour told Daily Mail Australia.



'When we did see him or Angus up on the verandah there it would be a bit of a novelty, Malcolm mostly came at Christmas time - he would spend a few weeks.'
