Fans will always have suspicions and rumors when it comes to celebrities. More than half the time, these suspicions continue until the celebrity themselves decides to set the record straight. For years, there's been fan controversy and countless questions surrounding AC/DC’s legendary album, Back in Black. Fans have been craving answers, and now, it seems their wish has finally been granted. Brian Johnson, the iconic voice of AC/DC, has finally opened up about something we've all been dying to hear. So, what really happened during the creation of one of rock's greatest albums? How did the band manage to keep their flame burning so brightly for decades? Let's get started!

Not only is he a key member of the band,but genuinely nice down to earth fella.I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1984 while he was walking down the street with his Bodyguard Peter.🏴We had a drink with him in a local bar in Cannes ,and then he said would we like to go back to the hotel he was staying in.We had a good chat a little drink,stayed for about an hour then as we left he gave us some VIP badges to attend a gig in Lyon a few days later.After he came off stage he still had time to meet us backstage for a Newcastle Brown and a photograph.🎸🎤🍻
AC/DC did not find Brian Johnson, Bon Scoot told them that if something happened to him that Brian should be his replacement. I'm 64 and first saw AC/DC in 1978. Got to see the Bon Scott.
Brian Johnson had arguably the toughest gig in rock replacing Bon Scott
I'm fortunate to have grown up during an era that you had to buy albums to listen to the music. I agree 100% that there was an appreciation to save the money and go purchase something your favourite band released. Having a physical copy of an album and reading the linear notes was a joy. Rock on! 😎🎸🎵
“She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean…” was the opening line for You Shook Me All Night Long, not Back In Black
I met Brian a few years back. He was racing his Bentley and pretty much gave me a tour of the car front to back. I probably talked to him for about 20 minutes, and never talked about music once. I even forgot to ask for an autograph. He is a really laid back guy with a talent that is just awesome.
Bon Scott was the one who told the young brothers about Brian. He saw Brian play with Geordie and at the time Brian had his appendix burst and was screaming into the mic trying to finish the song and after that Bon told Mal and Angus this was the guy to replace him if anything ever happened to him.
As a Australian 🇦🇺 man who grew up with AC/DC Brian Johnson was a great player and he played a huge role in the band and bone Scott will never be forgotten 💯🇦🇺✊💪🖕🦖🦘🕊️🦜🐎🦋🍺🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃❤️👋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I for 1 am very glad AC/DC continued on!
To all the people that think Brian Johnson made AC/DC great, well it’s obvious you never saw Bon live! So many rock stars said Bon Scott was the greatest frontman they ever saw. I love Brian Johnson and his done a lot for that band. I can only imagine what AC/DC would’ve been like today with Scott at helm
Credits and respect to Brian, he is a nice guy and amazing singer n remarkable performer, his last contribution to the Slash album (Killing floor) shows that he is more versatile then expected, nice to hear him sing in a lower region, but.. i still and always will believe that Back in Black was already finished for both music and lyrics.. its an add up.. the lyrics breath Bon, it is drenched in his humour n style with a naughty twist as all previous albums, the albums after Back in Black are different.. although it will never be officially confirmed, it would mean that the first big major would be Thunderstruck in stead of Back in Black.. but lol who am i.. its just my thoughts about it, that many others have too.. AC/DC ❤ Hail to them all🙌🏼
I remember when Back in Black came out, I managed a pizza parlor and the song was played so much that it was played 100 times for every other song played once. I heard Back in Black so much I refused to buy the album for over 40 years.
I like Brian but he's no Bon Scott. Tough to replace a guy who was so unique.
I met Brian when he was with Geordie in the seventies.
I truly believe Brian is an amazing member of Ac/Dc he has so much passion and energy he speaks so much truth what an awesome man.
I seen AC DC with bon in 79, world series of rock Cleveland. In 80, I got to party on their tour bus with Brian ! Dayton Ohio. Chugged a few Heinekens with Brian ! Priceless memories 👍
Bon's lyrics are on BIB. The night Bon died, he was out celebrating finishing the lyrics. His notebook was stolen from his flat by their Mgr.
Brian used to drink at a little place in Sarasota, Florida that I played weekends in the house band. Pretty much sat there by himself, quietly drinking for hours.
I talked to him once, but folks just left him alone, and I think that's why he liked the place. 1994 or so.
Noddy holder was ac/dc first choice after Bon scoot but noddy turned it down to stay with his first love SLADE
The best group of my lifetime, Brian and Bon definitely the 2 greatest frontmen and vocalists of rock music
In every interview ive seen on Brian, he seems a down to earth genuine guy.
back in black doesn't start with she was a fast machine come on
To those who claim and think Bon Scott wrote ALL of the lyrics to Back in Black, there sure are a lot of photos of the rehearsals with Brian writing on sheets of paper and Malcolm over his shoulder. Granted I think a lot of ideas came from Bon. Not full songs but some lines and ideas. Brian even said it was like a supernatural experience when he wrote You Shook me. His pen basically started moving on its own and he felt like Bon was there in the room with him. Either way, great fucking album and a great tribute to Bon. Listen to the lyrics and over half that album is dedicated to and for Bon.
I like Brian Johnson. Someone had to replace Bon and he was the right one
Great vocals on Back In Black!
Seen them last Saturday in Croke park Dublin 17/8/24.they were brilliant.
Back in Black was a seminal album and captured the mood and shock in the aftermath of Bon's demise. I've been lucky to see the band with both singers. Johnson seems a very aimiable guy and - as others have said - was recruited at Scott's suggestion. Great, great band!
Dan Macaferty from Nazareth would of been worth considering.
After Bons death, the lead singer from Krokus, was asked to join, but he turned it down citing he was dedicated to his own band, politely. Phill Ruds 4 timing on the drums made part of that AC/DC/sound.
AC DC were just going with energy. It was just what was happening. Bon was missed but the hype and energy was strong at that time and life just pushed them on.
One of the singer front/men that Malcolm and Angus contacted was Noddy Holder. from group SLADE. and Noddy was very impressed and appreciated that thought of him. but respectfully had to pass because he couldn't leave SLADE. and the rest of course is history. AC/DC went on to bring Brian Johnson into the group. and he did a great job as their singer front/man. and Brian Johnson worked hard be respectful to the memory of Bon Scott. and all these years later Brian Johnson was the wise choice. although he was was out of the group for a while. due to a hearing loss condition. and during that time Axle Rose from Metallica was the singer front/man for AC/DC. but Brian Johnson got lucky and was introduced to a doctor. that wasn't able to fix his hearing condition. which brings us to now. but in between that time probably the most important member of the group. Malcolm Young passed away from dementia. and he was replaced by their cousin Stevie. but the loss of Malcom was a huge blow to the group. but never say quit with AC/DC.
It’s not like they were out there searching for a singer, Brian was their bus driver, and they wear quite aware of Brian, in fact, Brian was actually Bon Scott’s favorite singer before he died. They should tell the story the way it really was!
I never listened to ACDC untill recent years. Love the fun they have on stage & I always listen in my car !! Thanks Brian, you deserve the it.😎.
I met Brian Johnson here in Auckland , NZ , we had a great chat about Whitley Bay, Eldon Square and West Monkseaton and all things Newcastle and Geordie . Humble man who never forgot his roots
Queen continued with new singer - not quite the same. Journey continued with new singer - not quite the same. Deep Purple continued with new singer - not quite the same.
BRIAN JOHNSON JOINS AC/DC AND THE REST IS ROCK 'N' ROLL HISTORY.
For Those about to Rock is my favorite AC/DC album
Gateshead is proud of you Brian
Bon Scott was the best of acdc
I remember rocking out to flick of the switch on vinyl very loud
All I want to say is that after seeing AC/DC with Bonn Scott. During the HighhWay To HELL Tour Bonn Scott was Dead!
I was devastated and couldn't believe he was gone and what was going to happen to one of my favorite Hard Rock and Roll Bands AC/DC?
They couldn't get just anyone and who the HELL was Brian Johnson?Right?
WELL ALL I CAN SAY IS, "THE ROCK AND ROLL ANGEL'S "GOT IT RIGHT!!!👍✌️
"BACK IN BLACK "IS ONE OF ROCK'S GREATEST ALBUMS
RIP BONN AND MALCOM!❤
ENOUGH SAID!!!👍✌️
Well said 👍I’m an Aussie 🇦🇺And I just love Brian Johnson’s singing,Bon Scott has really good instincts👍He knows a good singer when he hears them,Back in Black is a nice tribute to Bon 😊
John Swan, Stevie Wright and Allan Fryer were all considered, as were Noddy Holder and Gary Holton.
I'm sure Marc Storace from Krokus was on the shortlist too
Marc Storace was also chosen, but chose to stay with Krokus and copy AC/DC. Surprised that Udo was never considered.
He is right about the internet and NEW MUSIC
They originally offered the job to Marc Storace of Krokus but he turned it down as Krokus was starting to gain success and he felt strong loyalty to his bandmates. You have to respect him for that and obviously there was no guarantee that AC DC was going to continue to be a success after changing singers.
I grew up with Brian Johnson in the same street very close friend of my brother
My first concert was in 1978 AC/DC opened up for Aerosmith in Spokane Washington I was 16 AC/DC blew Aerosmith away!! Angus was phenomenal!! 14 dollars for the tickets!! People getting stoned and partying what special memories and my first of hundreds of concerts!! Rock on!!
Love Ac/Dc I grew up as a teenager listening to them.
I remember when Back in Black came out, what an album.
I'd rather have Hard Rock way more Heavy Metal, simple is better !
I'm hoping to meet Brian Johnson hopefully this year.
A friend of mine has a possible way I maybe able to meet him.
Ac/Dc is one of my top first fav. rock bands! ❤🤘
I grew up with his albums. What a role model.
Bon Scott, who was the First front man, with such a power natural voice, is dead, that’s all. He will never be replaced, and I think Brian has never had the idea to replace him, never… Each has his own style and it is well like this ! Please, you can love Bon more than Brian’s voice, it’s all right. But you have to respect each other, Brian too. He has doing so much such Bon Scot’death, never forget it. REST in peace Bon ! 🙏❤
Original singer = Got them into High school gyms
Scott = Into bars
Brian = Into Stadiums!!!!!!!
Don't forget Dave. He was the first singer, Bon second and Brian third.
Brian deserved his part as the new vocalist of AC DC.
Top rock album to ever be released luckily I was 15 in 1980 and see them twice in concert over the years..
Brian Johnson

Hmmm?
Bon met Brian and both congratulated each other on amazing singing with geordie and fraternity
I still want my AC⚡DC on CD to hold in my hand .
Tough act to follow Brian stepping in for Bon, Jake stepping in for Randy, Jason stepping in for Cliff. Legends gone and legends stepped in for them.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I saw them November 81 at Cobo Hall in Detroit. I was 11 years old. I was way in the back with my brother and his friends. A joint kept getting passed down my row what seemed the entire concert. Every time it got to me, my brother would grab it before it got into my hands and pass it on to the person next to him.
I just remember the concert started with Brian Johnson banging a sledgehammer or something on a big bell.
"Geordie split in 1976" I'm sure I've seen an interview where Brian said that after the audition (which he nearly missed as he was drinking and playing pool with the band crew downstairs) he had to get back to the band in Newcastle as they had gigs booked
The iconic voice of ACDC is Bon Scott.
I went to a concert in Sacramento about 3 years ago, not an ACDC concert, I asked 15 or 20 people who they liked better as a singer, Bon or Brian. 1 person said Bon, everyone else said Brian.
he was just replacing someone who can never be replaced he felt shoes that not anyone could feel and he did that with pride and did it without question thank you Brian Johnson
Back in black is a super album for sure but for me I've always thought for those about to rock was his greatest work
Brian Johnson nailed it, nailed the part about the internet and music distribution changing.
How sweet; everyone who can breathe oxygen knows Bon wrote 90 or more percent of this albums lyrics.
All I can say is Lakeland Civic Center Back in Black Long Live Bon Scott and thank you Brian Johnson for keeping it alive!! !!!!
For the fan/listener, this is a great time in music. Back in the "good ole days" I would go spend money that wasn't easy to come by to buy and album, then was usually disappointed that most of the album was simply not as good as the songs that led me to buy them. On the other hand, I would buy an album because of a song, then find out the rest of the album is far better than the stuff the radio played...and it would aggravate me because how could the industry skip those songs?
Thankfully cassette tapes allowed me to compilate the best songs from albums instead of having to skip or fat forward through the not so good stuff, then burning CD's, it got even better. Now, you can listen to most music on Spotify and then just go buy the songs you actually like, or just pay the monthly subscription to stream...or "obtain" the mp3s another way for your collection.
Some may be nostalgic for the days when album sales was the major money intake for the bands, but I think the fact that they need to tour to make up for the album sales, makes them better bands. There were bands 30-50 years ago that were total disappointments live.
I first heard highway to hell riding shotgun in a "borrowed" car with 3 of my buddies as a young teen been a hell of a ride ever since.
I must be in a rut then. I own over 2,000 cd's. AC/DC, to straight up blues to pounding metal. I still play them from first song to last. Road trips are filled with me singing along to albums. If I can't get it on cd, I don't want it. I still own many records, cassettes and even 8-tracks. The very first album I bought was the Blues Brothers on 8-track. Though I listen to tunes on youtube, I have never 'downloaded' music, I am not sure I even know how!
No I believe Bons own mother encouraged them to carry on as she believes it was what her son would have wanted
Remember Noddy Holder was asked to join AC DC !!
I saw AC DC in 1982 at Alpine Valley Wisconsin it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to I saw every Ozzfest at Alpine Valley
Bon Scott toured the UK with Fraternity and did a gig with Geordie and was very impressed with Brian Johnson and told the guys from AC/DC about him.
When you were talking about the stuff about the internet and how it's affected the music industry 100% correct I'm somebody who yes I will listen to music via RUclips but I was still go out and buy my favorite bands CDs
The band obviously knew about Brian. When Brian came in the room, they began to make him feel welcome. Malcolm gave him a beer and said "I believe this is your brand". It was a Newcastle Brown Ale. He never told them that before.
Great show love brain Johnsons style for sure🎉
Brian literally turned AcDc from an arena band into a stadium band. Had Bon sang on Back in Black it would never have sold anywhere near the amount of albums it has. I loved Bon. But Brian gave AcDcs music the EPIC sound it needed.
My Teenage Brain Thought Wow They Hired Bob Seger now.
😅
Bon Scott wrote Back in Black. Brian Johnson - despite being a nice bloke, I'm sure - had no track record in producing lyrics of this quality. His only writing credit to date had been the Geordie Stomp - also on You Tube. Listen to it and tell me how you get from there to rock poetry? And then tell me why AC/DC's lyrics went off a cliff over subsequent albums.
I seen them in early 80's in Lexington KY. Couldn't hear for 3 days. Loved it.
Hopefully, they'll do a tour every year now 🙏 They were brilliant at Croke Park. 🎉
Summer Brian Johnson's greatest work was definitely the back in Black record ⏺️
Brian Johnson "had been recommended to AC⚡DC by someone.
Yes, it was Bon Scott in person who recommended Brian.🙄
Fewer mega stars is like fewer billionaires.
I had no cash to spare to buy albums, and I felt cheated when there were only three tracks I liked, yet I’d been conned into buying 12.
I now play amateur trad Scots/Irish dance music, and am thrilled to be able to find fellow musicians available on Spotify etc, and was able to find the perfect blend of famous and unknown artists to collect the perfect blend of my brothers funeral.
Bon Scott was a balladeer and cheeky with it, and it was his story telling that held the fans, as much as his unique style.
Back in Black written and arranged by Scott, Young, Young.
I miss music like this.
I was fortunate to have lived in the 80's when buying an album or cassette made you appreciate music alot more, as well as forced you to listen to it even if you didn't like it! Lol. But this was not the case with ac/dc, especially back in black! Still one of my all time favorites!
He has taken the band to greater success and heights.
There is a short on here someplace with Angus telling a story about Bon showing up a week late in Australia. All he had on was a pair of pants, no shirt, shoes nothing. Hysterical story that really captures the essence of Bon
Bon Scott had the 'gift'; he was'IT'. That charisma, that magnetism ... would have loved to see that continue ...
Ive accepted Brian and his unique style, yet i still call him the 'new guy' - funny isn't it? He's been there 40ish years compared to Bons (too) short stint!
And yes, I've been lucky enough to have seen both live, several times!
I assume Mutt Lange was the genius of B I B
Brian said it all. Today world is not as profoud as it was, life is thin and has a lack of sense and lack of Life itself. I still gave my old CD collection and like to heart them. It was a vert soecial tine, internet just fits better with people egos, created a dead individuality and blind evolution...
Im from where brians from bon scott couldn't be replaced and maybe he shouldn't of been but its all about money and stardom so who could blame them for keeping it going
I saw them live in 1980. Awesome show! $15 ticket.
Brian a working class hero 💯🤟🏻🇫🇮 But Bon R'n'R God💯🤟🏻🇫🇮😎❤️🔥🥳🕉️🌹🕊️
I think about all my own life's hurdles and mistakes and have no issues with these folks.
The one story I heard is that bon Scott.... Was a fan of Brian Johnson.. insane I'm in a band somewhere and told the guys in the band that they he like the way he sang songs... So the guys look them up
without a doubt Brain was the right choice
I wasn't really into AC⚡DC much until back in black. But I heard earlier stuff with Bon about as much. Yeah, a distinct difference in vocals, but not in bands. I just accepted them both the same. But still, I was never a fanatic even though I been to a few of their shows. Their shows were awsome.
Music is a way of life long live rock
*AC⚡DC* 🤘🏻
