I'll never forget an interview with Brian telling the story of talking to Bon's mother after he got the job. She told him don't try to fill his shoes, bring your own pair. Or something like that. Thats one of the best pieces of advice I've heard to this day.
When acdc came through Canada I knew I was going and got the whole package getting to meet them all These guys have definitely not let fame ruin them they are all just wonderful and kind guys who will always be on everyone's playlist while throwing a party
He’s truly a great guy. A very very good race car driver. Put in an amazing drive in the 24 Daytona 24 hrs. Have had the privilege of racing with and against him in vintage races in the USA and Europe. He’s one of the pleasures of my life!
December 1981, Toronto, Canada. Right after a AC/ DC concert. Me and two of my friends Ian, and Glen follow Brian Johnson's limo to Harbor Castle Hotel. Glen uses Hotel house phone to call front desk pretending to have food order for Brian. Surprisingly, we get the room number. We approach the door knock and a reporter from Sounds Magazine answers. We boldly ask for Brian. We can see Brian in background as he says in a thick English accent " Let the lads in ". I'm sitting face to face with Brian Johnson the gravel voiced lead singer of the legendary AC/ DC. I'm casually talking to him about the making of " BACK IN BLACK " Hung out for about an hour and he graciously offers US backstage passes to Rochester, show .What an amazing experience, for three 17yrs kids
Yeah but he doesn't count he only recorded one song with the band and was only with them a year. It was with Bon Scott that AC/DC became a huge success.
There's a segment on YT w Brian interviewing Mark Knopfler. Two lads from Newcastle reminiscing their careers...a great watch and portrays Brian as a real down to earth, all around nice guy.
ITS THE GLORIOUS MOMENT OF THIS BAND THAT ROCK AND ROLLED ME THROUGH LIFE AND TIMES THAT MANY OF US ON STAGE GOT THAT FEELING TO CARRY OUT THE GIG FOR ONE NIGHT. THIS BAND HAS PICKED ME AND THE OTHERS AROUND ME THAT JUST WAS THE HOTTEST ROLLIN ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY HEAD BANGING BRUISES I THANK YOU , FOR ALL YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO US YOU GUYS ARE ONE OF THE HARDEST ROCKERS IVE SEEN. YOU TOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG. AND THE NATION FELT IT.
Every interview I have seen or read, including when he was a guest on Top Gear, all point towards a wonderful, down to earth, genuine & humble character with a great sense of humour.
I saw them on the Black Ice tour at Madison Square Garden with Mal. They were SICK. My ears were seriously ringing for two whole days. What a great show they put on
@@veryyes1919 He wasn't and continues a music career to this day, he just didn't click with AC/DC's form. "Can I sit next to you girl" was sang by Dave originally.
Absolutely loved the man fantastic voice my favourite was Thunderstruck I am now 62 I'm still love listening to all AC/DC music absolute legend love you Brian take care and have a lovely life
I belive you because malcom live there and he live at bird key sarasota i was working in the house beside his so i saw him many time in his driveway look like just guy like us exept he got manymany cars🤘🇺🇸
Yes l saw that episode. Brian had had his own car series on TV and nothing was mentioned in that Top Gear show. Perhaps it was because it was on a different channel. Of course Brian gave an impressive performance in the speed challenge but he was only named as the singer of AC DC.
@@rockeraaj my grandpa has a house that is about 6 doors down in this private neighborhood and while me and my grandpa were walking down the street we saw Phil and we had some good talks I should of grabbed a photo but I was too young to know about any of the camera stuff
One my few heroes left alive. Seems like an amazingly normal guy, who's accomplished very abnormal things in his life. I've seen the band a number of times and I never had the opportunity to meet, Brian. I wish him the best and I hope they're all good. The originals I mean.
I've met him a few times...he is the most humble down to earth rock star ever...And truly hilarious. All of ACDC are really nice to their fans. He was even wearing his trademark cap one time I met him. He is a genuine guy for sure
I have been your biggest fan since 1980 I took my boys to their first concert which was acdc. I truly hope you get better and we can hear u sing again. Your neighbor Michelle
I Worked in Dunston (now Gateshead) for a few years...Gazza (footballer) was born there too ....saw Brian a few times in his previous group Geordie at East Stanley Workingmens club .Brian Gibson, Tom Hill, Vic Malcolm and Brian Johnson of course ( still got some of their records.. .All because of you, Black cat woman, She;s a teaser, Don't do that, Ride on baby... They were great and his vocals stood out then...top bloke! and a Geordie!!
Hey there Brian , when you was singer in GEORDIE back in the old days i was with you , and when you got the job as singer in AC-DC i was with you and when the first number you sang for AC-DC HELLS BELLS hit my ears i nearly bust in tears. Clearly thinking of the fate of BON SCOTT then but also impressed of your voice because it fitted perfectly the music , evryone knew that it would be a tuff act to follow after the Bonnie Scotsman had fronted AC-DC on so many albums and live-concerts. But rock never dies so keeps it up
Correction Brian Johnson is the third singer in AC/DC history the first was Dave Evans, the second was the greatest AC/DC frontman ever and greatest frontman in rock history Bon Scott, then Brian Johnson. You're welcome.
Brian wife got dark brown hair not blonde hair in the pic I would love brian to reach in his 100s hes a great person very humble very down to earth person no ego about him at all. I will one day love too meet him
It took me a long time to "accept" him, but the guy is cool, charming, and a real singer, in his very own style..The fact that he's a "car crazy" guy make him more sympathic at last....
Thanks for be a part off the making my favorite album ever,with the best song ever written on it;For those about to rock we salute you. Pure gold👊👊👊. DC FOREVER NORWAY. PS the girl is NOT Brians wife!!
Flick of the switch did not get the Recognition it deserved but it was a great album. Still Listen to it in 2020. Heard some of the new album can't wait for it to come out.
Brian Johnson hasn't left the band... How on Earth have you come up with this?! On that particular tour Angus simply asked Axl Rose to help them out continue the tour. That's all! Brian Johnson is still part of the band and there's a new album, as well as new world tour coming up in 2021. They were supposed to come out in 2020, but due to the corona virus, they will be delayed with an year.
Nikolay Budurov story is doctor told Brian he had to quit or. Go deaf so he quit. Axel took over to finish the tour. Brian came back. Got some special ear protection
Not Australian bred, only one member of the current line up was born there , Brian is English , Cliff is English and both Angus and Stevie were born in Scotland
Boring. You basically just read the names of all their albums and hardly any of the photos are even of Brian's actual cars. I appologise if this was put together by a 5 year old as this would be quite good for a 5 year old. Sorry no like from me. Yawn.
Brian Johnston was the 3rd frontman for ACDC...Bon Scott was not the original singer also the name ACDC isn't the first name of the band..once the original front man left..they changed the band's name to ACDC..that's when bon Scott took over
When a rock band is trying to start out they will generally go through a number of line up changes before they're settled. Dave Evans wasn't on one studio album so was not an original, maybe more like a clown as Malcolm and Angus once put it. The original and the best was and always will be BON SCOTT.
@@taymar8282 They have always been ac/dc !! They probably toyed with a few ideas about what to call the band but thats about it. And yes Brian is the 2nd
He owned an auto trim shop. When he was called back for a second audition with AC/DC he didn't know who he was auditioning for and didn't want to go because he had promised customers that their cars would be ready to pick up and he didn't want to disappoint them. He's good people.
I'll never forget an interview with Brian telling the story of talking to Bon's mother after he got the job. She told him don't try to fill his shoes, bring your own pair. Or something like that. Thats one of the best pieces of advice I've heard to this day.

Thank ho
and he did bring his own pair
I remember these guys & still listen to them today & I'm pushing 60 plus they'll never get old in my lifetime. You Rock ACDC
If you watch his interviews he's an incredibly humble sweet person. Literally a rock megalegend. Most of these stars could learn from him
AC/DC is a very down to earth even though Phil Rudd had his issues.
Axl Rose did not 'replace' Brian as the band's lead singer, he offered to help out to complete the tour so gigs didn't have to be cancelled.
this whole video is full of b.s
With out a doubt the Greatest Hard ROCK BAND EVER
When acdc came through Canada I knew I was going and got the whole package getting to meet them all

Thats a fitting reward for a clever plan like that i think 😂
Brian was such a good sport
I went to college with Malcolm youngs son Ross Young. And have met brian johnson, Angus young, malcolm young, phil Rudd, cliff Williams.
Me too.
@@watchfan6180 #metoo
Me too
Same
I met bon Scott in addition.
He was actually the third singer. First guy was fired. Bon Scott obviously died. So that makes Brian Johnson the third.
Yes
Dave Evans was the first
Yeah but he doesn't count he only recorded one song with the band and was only with them a year. It was with Bon Scott that AC/DC became a huge success.
@@Whiskey150 actually 2 songs (can I sit... and rockin' in the...)
We don't speak of that one... Shhhhhh. It never happened. It was just a fever dream many individuals collectively had.
Nice spelling of Brian. You had one job...🙄
Sorry
Seb Benn lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
lmao!
Bryan spelled more than one way my guy FYI.
Seth Doty but not Brain fyi
I met Brian backstage in 1986. Helluva cool guy. Gave me a Grolsch beer. Kept the ceramic cap as keepsake. Man that was a good night.
Perhaps Grolsch because Angus lives in the area (Netherlands) where they brew Grolsch.
@Curzon Dax Ok.... didn’t catch that at first. My bad
How lovely that is awesome
Brian Johnson is simply the best
Totally agree. He´s the Man!

Axel cannot hold a candle to Brian's voice.. It's sad I never got the chance to see him live.. One of the most amazing performers there was..
Listening to Axl is like a bad nite at karaoke!
Axl rose sounds like an asthmatic Donald Duck!
I saw them on the Black Ice tour at Madison Square Garden with Mal. They were SICK. My ears were seriously ringing for two whole days. What a great show they put on
Axl didn't do a bad job...
@@miguelpereira6379
Yes... He did it great. I saw it live in Hamburg. He nailed it. Fact....
Brian was the third singer, Dave Evans was first but he sucked, Bon was second and Sadly died
Dave Evans is like that guy who’s bad in bed some bird just lost her virginity to but will never admit it. That’s what Dave Evans is to AC/DC.😂😂
Dave sucked so bad, nobody wants to acknowledge Him
Dave Evans wasn´t bad. The thingis that Bon and Brian were far different from the norm back then.
@@veryyes1919 He wasn't and continues a music career to this day, he just didn't click with AC/DC's form. "Can I sit next to you girl" was sang by Dave originally.
@@veryyes1919 Dave beloved somewhere like 38 special. Just didn't have the right voice for ACDC
Tunes still rocking my system. Thanks be to him and his band mates
Brian hangs out with his wife and close friends stays close to his home on LBK and is a very approachable and kind fellow!! We love him
He sure seems to be, gotta love a guy like Brian!
Brian Johnson is best singer in the world !!!🙂🙂
Great man so down to earth good Geordie lad, and what a lead singer, in an amazing band, live you long Brian
The greatest rock band ever!!!!
Totally agree!
Also to me but together with Motörhead.
Jail Break while having a shower 🧼. 🤟
Brian Johnson cool and down to earth. Don’t come much better than that !
Absolutely loved the man fantastic voice my favourite was Thunderstruck I am now 62 I'm still love listening to all AC/DC music absolute legend love you Brian take care and have a lovely life
I met BRIAN
I belive you because malcom live there and he live at bird key sarasota i was working in the house beside his so i saw him many time in his driveway look like just guy like us exept he got manymany cars🤘🇺🇸
Hasn't lost his "Geordie "accent, never will 😀
I was in the top gear crowed when he was on the show and he was the nicest and coolest guy ever
Yes l saw that episode. Brian had had his own car series on TV and nothing was mentioned in that Top Gear show. Perhaps it was because it was on a different channel. Of course Brian gave an impressive performance in the speed challenge but he was only named as the singer of AC DC.
They called him “Brain” then too. Seen the title of this video 😂
I actually met the bassist of AC/DC and he sounded like a great person and it was in ft Myers Florida
Did you meet him with Cliff? What's the story? I'm in FM too.
are you referring to Phil Rudd?
@@rockeraaj my grandpa has a house that is about 6 doors down in this private neighborhood and while me and my grandpa were walking down the street we saw Phil and we had some good talks I should of grabbed a photo but I was too young to know about any of the camera stuff

Met Jonno and the Band backstage at Birmingham NEC on the Stiff Upper Lip tour, great bloke and was like one of the lads.
Brian top bloke 👍
RIP Malcom Young!😔
One of my customers owns a motorsports business and Brian has driven for them. One of the cars they raced was named "Highway to Help".
so what
@@darrenwilson5279 nothing??? That was an amazing story by the way
Brian Johnson the
Best.
I got to party with them on their tour bus before a show in dayton, ohio. Chugged a couple heinekens with Brian, he is so cool down to earth.
I have been your biggest fan since 1980 I took my boys to their first concert which was acdc. I truly hope you get better and we can hear u sing again. Your neighbor Michelle
Jimmy Barnes l am big fan of Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel
Brian is awesome
This band will rock on .like they always have. ..these are Legends
Brian became the THIRD AC/DC singer, not the “second” as proclaimed in this video.
He’s such a sweet, likable man.He shook us all night Long in the 80s.Best years ever!!
“The coolest, most down to earth gentlemen you could ever meet” - you’re 100% correct there
Loved the new album
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Kool Dude...Hopefully we can see him & boys on another tour 👊🍻🍀

Brian j of ACDC love to play bass with you
That's why he's called "The Brain". I wonder how Brian Johnson stacks up to this guy.

I knew there was some reason I like him even more. His father was a coal miner.
Best band in the world!

Lovely man. Love watching him on tv.
The guys smoother than a gravy sandwich, anyone that knows Brian will understand what it means
“Huge” 4.5 liter engine?!
AC/DC rocks!! One of the few bands I need to check off my “must see” list.
That voice tho. Are you ready for a good tiime! My dude
It took me a long time to "accept" him, but the guy is cool, charming, and a real singer, in his very own style..The fact that he's a "car crazy" guy make him more sympathic at last....
Why did this vid end up as an episode of Top Gear?
Great job! I would like for you to interview Randy Bachman

Well done Brian
Acdc rocks
Flick of the switch did not get the Recognition it deserved but it was a great album. Still
Listen to it in 2020. Heard some of the new album can't wait for it to come out.
Agree, listening to it now, it has stood the test of time exceptionally well.
wow bestest ever rock on ac/dc
Peter Frampton,
4min. and 36 seconds In the song 🎶 Do you feel like I do. My best friend called out my name GERALD LEROY.
He was actually the third singer of ACDC, Dave Evans being the first
Actually he Was the third singer I believe
Their most recent studio album was Rock Or Bust. Not Black Ice
He said in 2010
Me: read the title of this video
My brain: brian ~ brain 🤯
I enjoy all of your videos! Would love to see john fogerty from ccr on one of the next ones
Great video. Fun fact, Brian Johnson is the 3rd singer for ac/DC Dave evans was the first.
Cheers!
shut up or i call the police of chicago
brad G Dave Evan’s is nothing! Barely lasted 10. Months.
Brain Johnson........ BRAIN.
72 years old probably still gets hot chic he's the man
Billy Bob Im not that close to things to say, but he's probably all about his wife.
He's a better man than I am.
The name is Brian, but they call me “Brain”.
Thanks for the ac dc history lesson. Thought it was supposed to be about brians lifestyle!
Would be great to hear more about his life and less about his cars.
Great guy brian is
HEY 🥰 WHAT'S WITH DA HAT!!!!😂
VERY GOOD SPELLING..👏👏👏
In 1982, some fans in Newcastle kidnapped the family pet cat and would only return it if Brian signed some album covers. True story!
Brian Johnson hasn't left the band... How on Earth have you come up with this?! On that particular tour Angus simply asked Axl Rose to help them out continue the tour. That's all!

I got to say Bonn Scott was the best. But, when they landed Brian for Back n Black was Magic. F Dan Blather.
Bon*
Nah Brian was better
I thought this was a video about Johnson's lifestyle, not a biography.
Really the third singer from AC/DC. There is a documentary on the beginnings of AC/DC.
would like to see Richard Butler from the furs band on here
Regards
Soo is Brian still in or out of ac/dc? I’d like to know
Brian Johnson what nice guy
Not Australian bred, only one member of the current line up was born there , Brian is English , Cliff is English and both Angus and Stevie were born in Scotland
Video has more airtime on his cars than on Brian himself.
You're right
Met him in wingate club, co durham about 1974 singing with Geordie same now as he was then only richer. Good luck to him he deserves it.
Brian rules!!
Black ice most recent studio album? What about rock or bust?
...yeah...the video shows true AC/DC expertise...
Boring. You basically just read the names of all their albums and hardly any of the photos are even of Brian's actual cars. I appologise if this was put together by a 5 year old as this would be quite good for a 5 year old. Sorry no like from me. Yawn.
