1. Angus Young’s duck walk

Angus Young mentioned in an interview earlier in the year that his duck walk is as vital a part of AC/DC’s shows as his fake fits and the baring of his backside. The duck walk — the practice of swinging one leg in the air like a pendulum while walking across stage in a squatting position — was first popularised by the 1930s blues guitarist T-Bone Walker.
