He is a legend and honestly seems like the nicest guy. I would love to see them in concert again.
I doubt we will.... I saw them last time in Adelaide and it was a bit depressing.... Angus looked tired and Stevie Young didn't do it for me...
@@robdotcom71 and didn;t Cliff retire too now?
@@konstantinov Yep....
@@konstantinov cliff is back, so is Phil and Brian
There touring days are over its been over 2 years since power up there's 2 members in that band over 70 & I don't think Brian's voice or hearing would withstand it anymore & I don't think putting to the test at 75 would be a very good idea it could end up worse than last time
How unbelievable to have 2 of the BEST rock singers of all time in one band.
Well, not at the same time of course
I so hope they tour!
Hopefully next year 50th anniversary
Same or at least a broadcasted concert 🖤
#1 AC/DC FAN. I'm not just a massive fan of the band, but all the lads. Brian is great in his own right and a compliment to Bon. Bless ya heart.
Brian Johnson is one of the reasons I found for going on with life on many occasions throughout my life. I have Cystic Fibrosis, and when I was younger I found AC/DC. That discovery led me to become a guitarist. That put me on the trajectory that has brought many beautiful things into my life.
I was recently diagnosed with profound hearing loss. Hopefully whatever Brian is using to help his hearing will become available to people like myself soon.
I am here to tell you, Brian is one of the most genuine and nice guys you can imagine. My wife was on a shuttle bus @ the Queen Mary exhibit with him and she said he seemed to be totally approachable and talking to everyone; not about himself, just talking about everyone's day. She didn't want to bother him, but she was certain if she asked he would have signed an autograph, taken a picture, and probably would have drove back home with her so I could meet him and jam! lol I am looking forward to reading his book.
Totally believe this, seen the Sky program where he was interviewing Mark Knopfler so down to earth honest no ego just the best storyteller and so engaging, great voice as well I'd probably go for the audio book as well😀👍
A PACK of Lies ,
The Lies Of Brian , Don't waste your money.

Why, Truth is Truth.
Can't handle the Truth ?
Brian Pinocchio Johnson
He didn't write anything on Back in Black, Bon Scott's notes are of me and Bon Together, over 30 of the Best of Best of ACDC.
We hid identifiers in the lyrics of the songs. ACDC DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE OR WHERE THEY ARE HIDEN.
R/Steven Schweinfurth Ghostwriter of ACDC
&A Ghost of Joan Jett too.
@@captaincrunch5878 you're so full of it. Go troll somewhere else. What could Brian or the band possibly gain from excluding Bon from the album as songwriter? Would that not have boosted Back in Black sales even more? I'm sorry but a chorus or song title does NOT make that person the sole writer. Angus and ESPECIALLY Malcolm would have made it very known that Bon wrote those songs. Get outa here with that stupid nonsense. What happened...did the band refuse to play your birthday party as a kid? You feel the need to run your mouth about something that's been proven time and time again to be untrue. I'm sorry if I take the WHOLE bands word over yours.
Brian had created his legacy when he join AC/DC
Such a great, low, gravelly speaking voice, which I never would have expected in contrast to his equally great high singing voice!
geordies are famous for their strange accents in UK,
Their River Plate show was incredible, never seen an audience like it.
Really good book! And Brian is a fantastic narrator!!!
I just need to see them live once.
Saw them in 2008 and couldn’t hear for 3 days. Best concert ever!
ME TOOOO
Cliff retired. He doesn’t want to tour.
I had the great privilege to see them in Amsterdam in 1979 (with Bon Scott!) and about 1 1/2/ year later (again in Amsterdam) with Brian Johnson, who had just joined the band...both times my ears were ringing for quite some time...incredible band! But maybe now it's time to retire...they've lost quite some strength, vocally & guitar-wise...
What an absolute legend.
Unreal singer nicest man alive. God bless you BRian for hanging in there in your darkest days and hours. I sensed his dispair.
He always has a great outlook how can you not love this guy.......
I fuckin LOVE Brian Johnson and AC⚡️DC with his vocals!
nah brian johnson sounds like mickey mouse with a high pitch voice.
@@warrenfry814 so does your mother when I’m balls deep.
I've just finished reading Brians memoir, I have to say, it's one of the best biographys I've ever read, I just loved it, it's so funny, but, it also highlights Brians struggles living in Englands northeast, but also his dogged resolve to be successful in whichever way he could, a great read from one of Rock & Rolls gentlemen. I'm glad I can say I've seen AC/DC live many times & feel lucky to have had the pleasure of seeing Brian do what he does best. I thoroughly recommend this book.
agree totally the chapter detailing how he got the acdc job is brilliant.
One of the greatest frontmen in music history 🤘
Seen AC/DC in 96 Ball breaker tour. I was 19, now I'm 45.
21 seen them on the stiff upper lip tour then 9 years later seen them on the black ice tour
@@giggabyt78 That's awesome!! I still have my ticket stub too.
@@markshaver3138 me too
I saw Ball Breaker & Black Ice too. Actually, I saw them three times in total : 1. Blow Up Your Video Tour 2. Ball Breaker . 3. Black ice Tour
@@konstantinov now that's cool
I need this so much
a must buy for xmas.! 😃
powerhouse.
🤘🏻🏴🇬🇧🇦🇺🤘🏻
Would have made more sense to use the England flag 🏴 instead of the Union Jack, since the Union Jack also represents Scotland
AC/DC is timeless
I could totally go down the local pub and sit on a small round table with him. wouldn't be awkward or unnatural , crazy man
Just listened to this on Audible and didn't want it to end. Loved it. Straight back to the beginning for a second listen.
I can’t wait to get it! I’m gonna have my mom get it for me for Christmas
I hope AC/DC will have their concert again
Working man's blues the best rip bon. Brian is a monster
What a legend. A man who was born for Rock N Roll. A working man's best companion.
WE NEED AC/DC TO TOUR AGAIN!!!
Hard Rock Gods - AC/DC FOREVER 🤘🤘
We want a WORLD TOUR 2023-2025
I Love Brian and The band ,,sooo Cool.
Lunga vita a Te, Brian! Mio idolo, come uomo e come artista!
Long live legend!!!
Minden tisztelet meg jár önöknek ❤❤❤
With his hearing lost he had a doctor that treated pete townshend. And townshend has a bad hearing problem and still touring from treatment
Brilliant book I have just finished reading it and a book I never wanted to put down.
My librmy library still doesn't have it
what a voice
Just finished book. Awesome read. Best line in it that made my hair on arms rise was when Malcolm said to him...gigs yours if you want it. Wow
Greatest Band ACDC ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a legend
One last tour please!! 🙏
I like this guy's name.
I would love to hear an interview with him that goes beyond the basics, but I suppose that' s a bit too involved for early morning fluff.
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/ykYvCQ0DT0M/v-deo.html
Legend singer 🎶🎵🎼🎤✌️🍀👌🇮🇱🍂
Malcolm Young was the leader of the band.
Good book, just finished a week ago, would recommend.
I myself was at that Edmonton show and something didn't seem right that night. I had seen AC/DC 2 times before that and they were phenomenal especially on the Black Ice tour. But performing without Malcom during the Rock Or Bust tour I thought the bands not themselves anymore but Brian did seem off the whole show. I've always loved Brian, I prefer him over Bon and that's my opinion!
🤟AC⚡️DC 🤟
yeahh Black Ice tour was great
With the loss of Malcolm there is a HUGE hole in the band. As good as Stevie is….it’s just not the same. And the rest of the guys know this. Malcolm was the heart and soul of AC/DC. It was his band. I definitely favor Bon but I respect anyone that likes Brian better. He’s fantastic and I’m proud to say I was lucky enough to have a beer with him in 86’. Still have the Grolsch cap as a memento.
I hope AC⚡️DC tour again in 2024.
I AM GENTLEMAN ICONIC AC/DC
It's a shame we will probably never see another live show from AC/DC , I've been lucky enough to have seen them in their prime and haven't missed a show of theirs that's come my way since 1988, it's fantastic that Brian is doing well now with his hearing and his overall health seems great, unfortunately that is not the case with other members of the band Phill Rudd has fell on bad health issues as has Cliff Williams, as much as people would like to see them tour again I think it's time for them to call it a career, when they went on the Rock or Bust tour it definitely was a bust, I was not happy with the way the band sounded, love them and they will always be my favorite band but sometimes you have to know when to say when, I don't want them out there looking and sounding like Motley Crue..
Look at the tour page on their website mate. The titans are back.
They are back.
in black
@@apimpnamedstreetmeat for ONE show. Maybe.
I’m reading it right now
I’m so glad he didn’t end it all, he’s truly an icon. I wonder how he heard about Stephen Ambrose? I heard somebody tell me that and I’m not sure if this is true so please don’t anybody disrespect me, anyway somebody told me that they are a close source to the band tell me that a fan from Ohio ironically where I live in Ohio not sure what city I’m just stating I’m in Ohio also ? Originally an South Carolina girl? Due to an unfortunate house fire we live up here in one of my aunts rental houses. Anyway I heard somebody from Ohio sent him a letter telling him about the technology from Asius or however it’s spelled i’m not sure if that’s true but however he heard about it I am happy that he did. And I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. Because I really would like to read it.I grew up listening to these guys. Without them life would have been very boring. Does anyone know this info? I am curious myself.I actually just got my copy in the mail yesterday. I’m so excited it’s so far something I can’t put down. And I don’t read much.
I got your book from Barnes and noble. I am on chapter 4 . Great book.
❤❤❤❤
Awesome read, can't put it down
I want to thank you Brian. You and ACDC made my teenage years. Also Van Halen. I saw you guys 3 times in Charlotte NC in 1984. 1985. 1986. I have Angus young's pic. Top 5 Rock n roll band ever
If you could get onto Brian jonhson and ask him to co e to ireland and preform that would be a dream come through for me I'm acdcs biggest fan and if I could meet them back stage that would be even better
I got a buddy who works for a guy who is in charge of super bowl half time entertainment. Let’s just say that AC/DC is in the top 3 to perform in February.
Bunch of crap. NFL announced 2 months ago Rihanna is performing.
Good news for us fans
'Legend' is absolutely an over-used word when it comes to rock singers - UNLESS you're speaking about Brian Johnson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's in good company, Beethoven was deaf.
Je l'ai lu un super bouquin plein d'humour.
Colin Hay of "Men at Work" would be a perfect front man for ACDC reason being he is Bon Scott of ACDC! Not to take anything away from Brian Johnson and Axel Rose!.
ACDC fans are in for a shock! Bon Scott is alive and well. He is Colin Hay of "Men at Work" Because is it coincidental that they are both Aussies with Ancestral Roots to Scottland???
" The reason why he wanted out! The long time away on tour from his family and the demands of being on the road was more than he could take!
He wanted to make music on his own terms and likewise to go on tour at his own conveinience!
The song "Back in Black" was his resignation to move away from the spotlight!
The lyrics were his signature resignation and the clue to how he would depart from the Band!
"Back in black I hit the Sack! (Bon Scott was referring to how he would be supposedly found dead whlile he was asleep!
and leaving the Spotlight by slowly fading to the darkness of returning back to a life of normacy away from the bright lights!
"I have got nine lives! (He is referring to how he survived many dangerous events a Bike accident, alcoholisn and how he was going to reinvent himself!)
"I have got "Cats eyes" (This is a important clue that he has successfully changed his identity!
And the only way you would ever know its him if you ever saw him again is He had this rare "eye condition" that looked like how a Cat looks around because they would operarate independently of each other and moving in different directions!
Now some people may say wait a minute they have different Birth dates! This is a common practice when hiding ones true identity together with a change of hairstyles!
But I think he still played a active role in the Band with ACDC as a "Ghost Writer"
because every song that ACDC sang after Bon Scotts supposed death sounded like he still had his "trait mark signature" on all of ACDC's songs!
So its up to Colin Hay of "Men at Work" if he wants to come out "the darkness" of "Back in Black" and back into the Spotlight" again to say to his loyal fans and say to them!
"Hey MTF's guess whose back from a "Back in Black" hyatus!
And is there any photos of Bon Scott in a Coffin in a funeral service?? And how many photos does Colin Hay have of himself in his earlier years with him and his family???
The same goes for Morgan Freeman who is actually "Jimi Hendrix" and "Lady Gaga" who is actually "Amy Winehouse!
And is it coincidental that all three just happen to burst on the Social Scene shortly after the supposed passing of these legendary "Musical Icons?????
Can you imagine if all three decided to tour together. And their Band name would be called "Grievance Clean Detox Revival???
Sincerely,
Patrick S.N. Iriarte

Nicest guy in Rock n' Roll.
Howay the Lad
What about a tour! 🤬🤘🇬🇧
that was a great narrative by Chris Connolly 😂
A little bit of a disingenuous, perhaps lazy, reporting that they do not mention that it was Bon Scott's parents who encouraged the band to keep going after he died, because they considered ending it then. They tried multiple singers before Brian blew them away and the rest is history.
I've never had the chance to see them live so here's hoping for one last blow out tour, with a stop in Cleveland, OH of course ;-)
They asked a few singers and auditioned a few before Brian, there wasn’t as you say multiple just a few.
It was a interview to plug a book. Not behind the music. I saw the band with Bon And Brian and I thought it was fine. Really, get a life.
@@Twistedpage Dude, it was lazy reporting. Its an important part of the AC/DC story. F off.
What is the technology that enabled him to hear again? I'm so happy for him but many people - not just Rock Stars - need help!
ua-cam.com/video/F7FSPYsmJ9k/v-deo.html
This is the video that ended up getting his attention.
@@CrimsonIdol92 Thank you. Yes, I've seen this. With all of the shortcomings that even the best hearing aid technologies possess it would be great if this next-level tech were available to the masses.
I AM GENTLEMAN PEACE HEART....
Why hasn't AC-DC Played the super bowl?
Brian is a great guy but lies about who wrote the Back in Black album type in Bon Scott You Shook Me All Night Long on here and you can hear him live on HTH tour (probably one of the last gigs) he says new one right here and it’s definitely his voice and AC/DC playing the song just like Pete Way of UFO said he was celebrating with Bon before he died the finishing of the writing of his best album yet that’s why the greatest rock album of all time was out in two months after Brian joined it would be impossible for someone who never wrote a hit to write that album in that little amount of time. Read the book by Jesse Fink or watch his interviews on who wrote the album. AC/DC manager even said the writing credits were wrong
Finks book is full of holes and conspiracy’s. If you want to believe a book over what Angus and Brian have said that’s up to you. Just don’t write as if what ‘YOU’ are saying is true either because you don’t fucking know.

Never wrote a word forAC/DC Bon Scott wrote Back In Black!!!!!
Brian is super super cool and kind and warm and generous
But tell the truth
The men who wrote Back in Black did not write Fly on the Wall
What the fuck? 😂😂😂😂
@@mrjw6701 you’re too young to ask
@@michaelmckenna9460 I saw them twice in the 70’s I’m probably older than you.
I changed Angus Young’s diaper.
Geordie & Buffalo.
ACDC makes America ..woops Australia with a Pommie lead singer Great Again.
... GEORDIE lead singer.
@@lizrogers4819 yes we know. Pommie is Australian slang for British.
Most of the band are “Pommies”
I wonder if he tell the truth about using bon Scotts lyrics for back in black?
Huge Johnson fan but it is interesting that that rumour has always persisted and no album since has matched the majesty of BIB.
Never. But he dismisses Bon completely from BIB while Angus says different. Lots of secrets and bullshit surrounds the band.
There’s no credible evidence they used Bob’s lyrics but even if they did it doesn’t really matter. Not one person bought BIB for the lyrics.
@@mikeolson6382 if you're talking about BOB'S lyrics then I agree with you. There definitely is no credible evidence that BOB'S lyrics were ever used 😂🤦♂️
@@mikeolson6382 Honestly, I did. Just like I had bought every album before it. But, you lose your main lyricist, you name it Back in Black, so what does the band have to say lyrically? A more appropriate observation would be buying every album after BIB only for the riffs and power cords, because the lyrics went shithouse. I have every album. I've seen the band a few times. I only listen to BIB and everything previous.
To all you Kiss fans who worship Paul lip sync Stanley , Brian is the legend.
First
I am so surprised Brian would associate with such a bunch of Liars
Nem a pénz érdekel tele vagyok jó dalokkal előbb tanultam beszélni gyerek koromban Angyalkának meg jóconak a tanáraim meg közösség
ACDC n’égalera jamais ses débuts et l'identité musicale du groupe avec Bon SCOTT. Jamais ! Et je les ai connu avant même la sortie de leur premier disque. Qui les a connu à cette époque me comprendra probablement.

Didn't write anything off of Back in Black, Bon Scott's notes are of me and Bon Together in UCLA PICU MAY 22-23 1979,
The Lies Of Brian....
Have you read Brian's book?
@chriss2452 actually no I have not, I only seen interviews about him claiming my work.
If you know a way I can get the book for Free I'd read it, but I sure ain't gonna pay for it.
He got a terrible voice
Where did he get it?
Terrible voice gets you to the top of the world and the biggest rock band.
You gotta think..he smoked for years and sang for years. His voice is authentic as fuck
I think he meant terribly GOOD.
Where did he get it?
Love Brian, miss Bon
I was good friends with Charlie Wykes, whom Brian mentions in this book. Unfortunately Charlie died on Christmas Day just gone. Great bloke and will be sorely missed.
Is it true that his Book finished in 1980 ? I want the whole Story ☝️
Ac/Dc in Wacken, a dream 🤘🇩🇪
