    Few men have walked into a tougher situation then the one Brian Johnson walked into in 1980. Fewer still have handled an almost impossible situation like that with the class, dignity, and respect that Brian Johnson has for over 30 years now.

      Agreed. Never an ounce of friction or conflict between the Bon Scott years and Brians era. An unfortunate event, losing Bon, that led to, fortunately, ...finding the best possible person, to help the boys continue and move on, while all of them showed reverence, class and respect to Bons legacy. I love both singers equally. Remember, it was Bon who dragged the boys out to see Brian sing, because he loved his voice and stage presence, never realizing he'd discovered the guy who would replace him, after his tragic passing. AC/DC are in the upper upper echelon of all time rock icons, if not the very top! And they have the coolest band name ever!

I wouldn't say they are my absolute favorite band or even favorite band I went to see necessarily, but it was like a 3+ hour explosion of energy. I am not sure Angus ever stopped. He seemed like a rocket motor you couldn't turn off once you started it. So nice years later to see what a cool guy he is.
