You may recall this, but I was never a fan of AC/DC. Sure, I could say, “They’re one of the best bands that ever played that kind of music,” but I wouldn’t have felt a void if that kind of music never existed. So, maybe I should have known this, but Brian Johnson existed before he joined AC/DC. How did we miss this subject during all our wonderful years in the Halls of Rock?
A few thoughts:
He looks taller in this band.
Would he only join bands with a guitarist who plays an SG?
This was a very bad era for hairdos.
I had no idea he could actually sing like that.
This song reminds me of Kiss.
The guys get scarves.
I missed the relaunch! I share Mr. Mod’s dim view of ACDC, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised he didn’t know about Geordie connection. After spending the last 15 or so years playing and sometimes hosting a music-focused pub trivia game, I know that this is the kind of useless knowledge one acquires unwillingly. These days I know a lot about musicians and styles of music I never listen to.
At least this video gives us a pretty good idea of why Johnson always wore that flat cap in his next band.
I have nothing to add to this discussion except to say how welcome it is, during one of my periodic checks on latest comments, to see something that isn’t spam or some response to a 12 year old thread by some random person. As entertaining as those may be.
Ah, for the good old days! Hope everyone is doing well.
