Mal's tone is just about my favorite ever, but I have to think there's some kind of language barrier at work, here.

Is that you in the video?

Did you use any of those pickups you linked to?

Re: GFS - Malcolm Young ACDC

Sorry misread the question (it's been a long day).

The First two on that list will do it. Malcolm uses Filtertrons with very little overdrive and 100 watt Marshall amps. Also string gauge is important (Gibson 12-56's if possible, yes in standard) as well as Malcolm's choice of heavy Fender picks (which, according to Scott Ian, he can shred them up in one song). But the Filtertrons in a semi-hollow body will get you pretty darn close.
