Interview with Brian Johnson, part 1/3

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

those ac/dc guys seems to be such nice persons... :)

[WarriorMigs24]

Great Interview

[cocobloco1]

there are 200.000.000 "wannabe rockers WHO LIKE TO DANCE"...THATS THE FACTS!....THATS THE HISTORY!

LIKE IT OR NOT.

at least Brian did something in his life...what about me/you/us???

(just goes for the post below)

[DynamoWorks]

Get back The Beatles did

[dbasrus]

@58016428 AC/DC with Brian is 'Disco'?!! Back in Black is Rap?!!

Say no more. Your mouth has obviously been surgically replaced with your arsehole. No need to waste even one more second with you..

[58016428]

@jak67709 SEE BELOW COMMENT, THEN GET BELOW ME AND OPEN FIR MY TEA BAG!!!

[58016428]

jak67709 AND YOU SHOULD LICK MY SWEATY SACK!!!!

[58016428]

Every time Brian Johnson sings, he sounds like he's trying to hold a conversation while bearing down hard while taking a very constipated CRAP! he CAN'T sing period! By the way Back in Black, Shook me etc. are straight up RAP songs. He disgraced GREAT RIFFS with f#%*cking RAP! Whoever thinks that is rock has NO idea what rock is!!!!

[jak67709]

@58016428 Well you should go kill yourself

[58016428]

Paragon767 I agree. Great riffs ARE hard to write, that job is left to and dine masterfully by Angus and Malcom. ACDC is a GREAT band! It's their "SINGER" who SUCKS!!!

[Paragon767]

It's very difficult to write simple riffs.....simple and GOOD things are hard to write.

[58016428]

poisterj If you think Brian Johnson can sing, that tells me ALL I need to know about you. When they had Bon Scott, they were a badass razor-sharp, in your face Rock band. With Brian, they went disco. Back in black is a dance tune dipshit, so is Shook me. It's clear You are a wanna be rocker who likes to dance. Go put on your Night Ranger T-shirt, break out your Lover boy albums, and leave leave Rock to the non- pussies ya douche!!!

[2010stress]

Brian for world leader!

[1221mikew]

1st time ive seen him with out a shirt with cut off sleeves lol

[PAnsitoQuemado766]

WAIT WHAAAT?!?! NOT THE BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD?!?! lol u gotta be kidding me ._.'



[58016428]

haschplanta, someone who doesn't suck and can tell that the bald headed fool can't sing for shit.

[MasterTterb98]

@58016428 Yeah, sure.

If he's so bad, then why does EVERYBODY love him, his voice, and the band. Look what he did for the band, look how popular they became. Brian Johnson IS one of the greatest Rock 'n' Roll singers. There's no douby about it.

You go dissin him in public, well you're gonna get beat up. Dumbass

[58016428]

He sucks.Always has.

[haschplanta]

@58016428 and you are??

[polsterj]

@58016428 Well, that's probably the reason why he still sells out stadiums whithin minutes.

Dumbass, keep that shit for you, nobody's insterested whether you like good rock n roll or not.

[davycrocketful]

[BlueStreak440]

@mrwhatsnexttothemoon Probably Black Ice.

[wardka]

No pretentious show biz posturing here. This is a genuine artist enjoying the ride.

[michaelC505]

god dammit why wasn't i born with an Irish accent

[ZigZag007]

@michaelC505 Dunno. But neither was Brian. He's a Geordie. From Dunston, Tyne & Wear in Northern England.

[rockmorhenno1]

Nice Guy,Keep Safe Mate.

Big C

[hiraniacreatures]

i like how he says time so cute

[kirkwanglers32]

Geordie Millonare.

Good luck to ya Blessings

[RichieSam5]

I freaking LOVE listening to him talk! I'm not even listening to what he's saying!

I have to go back and listen this time.

[oxanon237425]

fuckin foreign prick. stop interuppting Brian...

[MischiefCON]

he's the man, awesum

[ppppdmt]

he seems like a really nice guy

[WarriorMigs24]

AC/DC is the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll band ever

[TheNightseagull]

Brian Johnson. Wow. Never heard the guy talk before....( except between songs ).......this is a super cool clip. So glad I got to watch and listen to this !

[emperoring112]

such a nice man one of the best singers in the world!

[marvy1118]

He's easier to understand than in the 80s

[iloveACzDC]

BRIAN 4-EVER !!!! why should he remove his pentagramm-talisman ????? stupid scared christly guys !!!

[watchpotch]

@iloveACzDC no mate, it was because it was knocking against his microphone, that's why they asked him to move it (I think!)

[alexxxandder]

he's such a character...seems like a great bloke!

[sparkingboy200]

GO AIRBOURNE!!!

Oh...this is AC/DC

[megantokiohotel]

@sparkingboy200 DUMB FUCK

[bichomaldito]

Brian or Bon? I go for Bon, but Brian is a nice guy, and his performance for the 'Back in Black' album is just perfect. I can't imagine Bon Scott or any other singer recording something as good as that.

[watchpotch]

@bichomaldito Interesting point you made about not imagining Bon singing the Back In Black songs. For me it's the oppposite, I was thinking to myself the other day Bon would sound great with those songs but some of them probably in a lower key. Imagine Bon singing "Rock 'n Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" - that would have been great!!

[straylightrun84]

GEORDIE LEGEND!!

[ladyzig]

he such a nice guy... so cool ;D

[Demon19233]

kick up the ass! LOL

[WarriorMigs24]

AC/DC is the Greatest Rock N Roll band ever

[LEGOACDC123]

Brian is the best singer he was one that made ACDC good

[iradj]

Interviewer really needs to learn some frickin' manners. Let the damn man talk.

[Deepmaiden89]

[guitarz04]

[TheWezza90]

lol love his sarcastic chuckle at 9:18. Man's a legend, makes me proud to be a geordie

[Robbinia2004]

I love his dialect :)

[MinGophers]

[1000WeTHippOs98]

HAHAHAHAHAHA i love how his face drops wen he laughs

[I3lindAnArChY]

Jim Bruer was right...he does sound like a Pirate. A legend, yes, but still a pirate in my mind.

[a7xparamorefan]

i'm from the north east and he sounds so much like my uncle andy its unbelievable

[trinitybenkaiazeth]

it was rubbing on the microphone

[chriskoob]

@trinitybenkaiazeth least the camera man didnt make him lose the cap cause it didnt match the colors of the lights

[AnuclypseMetal]

he sounds like apom

does he reside in uk ?

[thehubbucks]

@AnuclypseMetal He's a GEORDIE, man - from Newcastle, yer naa!

[cozzatee69]

@thehubbucks wey ai man anar wat you mean me lad

[mcdermott210]

can i just say i no his alot older than me but i would sleep with him no matter wat his got everything i want in a man i love Brian so much! :D

[YourWiseSage]

how come singers' talking voices never sound anything like their singing voices?

[hugeacdcfan123]

that's a mystery, but don't ya think its cool?

I do...

[AmyK007]

What a legend!

[simehh123]

yes you are the best singer you rock

[lp7969]

legally yes

[MrAcDcRoCk4eVa]

Why did he have to move his knecklace thingy magigy :/ what was it

[niteapuntes]

"I'm not the best singer in the world"? I'm sorry, Brian, but that's just wrong.....You're the greatest singer in the world!!!!

[avalon665]

@niteapuntes amen, my friend.

[faderwhore19]

@niteapuntes the interesting thing about many vocalists is that although they may be the best in the world, in their eyes the musicians they were inspired by will always be greater in their eyes. so while we all look up to brian johnson and think he's the best. brian johnson looks up to the musicians that inspired him and he thinks their the best. which is just a shining example of how humble of a man that brian johnson truly is.

[snowflakett]

He's really nice man

[E65Hawk]

I gues he likes it. He cant be balding, look at all the long hair by his neck!

[acrobaticaromatic]

he is balding. he has a bald spot at the back, i don't think it worries him, the hat is just his thing, like the school suit is angus' thing.

he's such a jovial man, always laughing and smiling. which i guess comes from doing what you want in your life.

[BlackIce8844]

Because he likes it

[chingchong54]

why does brian johnson always where that cap

[jerobussio]

i think its glued to his head, does somebody ever seen him without that cap? lol

[psycovideos]

Many times. In the shows sometimes it falls or he takes it off for some seconds.

[willyd5]

He likes it maybe??

[JamieIH1234]

hes balding

[niteapuntes]

Brian's brother suggested he wear the cap to stop all the sweat that used to drip in eyes when he performed. I guess he's used to it after 30 years. i've never seen a pic of him without a hat on

[coolboy12176]

why dont we just all be qeuit and listen to a LEGEND

[ImTheStig1]

And clarakapp considering you profile says Ukraine, Doilem!

[ImTheStig1]

Oh and by the way clarakapp, I wrote that message months ago.. Wake up!

[ImTheStig1]

Lol just cos ACDC is an' Australian band, he is Australian? No mate the band was formed there.. He wasn't Born there!

What the fuck is going on these days...?

[matthewm107]

omfg i just found out that i live in bon scotts home kirrie thats why its worth so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DMEB]

he just makes me smile when ever i hear him talk or sing.... i am going to listen to black ice now and to hell with the neighbours!!!!!!!!

[AlochEX]

i just love brian's hat ...its the best :D

[TcKCarnage2]

His father was Scottish.

[TcKCarnage2]

He is Scottish.

[psycovideos]

Brian is English, from Newcastle. Angus and Malcolm are both Scottish, as Bon was too. Cliff is English. The only aussie guy in AC/DC is Phil Rudd.

[TrimTOODLE]

FACT !

[SgtPeterson1726]

5:35 is not true, he is

[rishino]

I wouldent give a shit about if the album sounded the same as the old ones! Its still AC/DC and why would you crit the sound that first made you fall in love with AC/DC?

[MrPastige]

i can´t understand very much english

So who´s brendon´O brian?

[Carphunter888]

He is the producer of the new AC/DC album Black Ice

[ImTheStig1]

Half of the people in England wouldn't be to understand his accent. It's called Geordie from Newcastle in the north east of England..

basically it's like a language

[heidegger1976]

thats bullshit, I'm english and everybody understands geordie

[ImTheStig1]

You're full of shit mate not everybody understands Geordie at all in England. You only understand it here because he's talking the English Geordie way for the reporter or unless you are a Geordie and saying you understand it.

You don't even know how the Geordie words. You 'Doilem'

[clarakapp]

I live and work in Newcastle and am from Australia and I understand Geirdies. Sure the accent is broad - especially after a few beers - but in 10 years here I never met anyone British/Irish/Scottish/Aussie or otherwise who can't understand Geordies.

What is "english Geordie". Are you saying that after all this time in the pub, at christmas, funerals, football games etc, my friends and in-laws have been speaking so that I can understand them and that they speak differently when I am not there?

[clarakapp]

By the way - forgot to say it - Brian Johnson is a fucken legend.

[ImTheStig1]

Well you're mad if you have never met any other English person who can't understand Geordie.

Maybe Scottish and Irish can understand it 'cos it's the closest accent to it..

And by the way I hope you know that Geordie has words that are nowhere else in the United Kingdom! You only think that it's easy to understand cos they speak the basic English. in fact mate search Wikipedia 'Geordie' and SCROLL down it'll show you some words that's in 'Geordie'.

Fuck!

[clarakapp]

Maybe you haven't travelled much. I looked up that wikipedia thing; you don'get it. Nearly everywhere you go you find local words that aren't used elsewhere. When my Geordie family come back to Oz they find the same thing; bogan/tinnie/yakka/esky/yabby/­. You can nearly always understand these words from context. And even if you come across a word you don't know it doesn't mean you can't understand the whole language. My wife, kids, inlaws and mates speak Geordie and I understand them fine.

[ImTheStig1]

There you go! You just said it yourself.. "My wife, kids, in-laws and mates 'Speak' Geordie and I understand them fine" That's you! First you say it's an 'Accent'.. Now you're bringing up the word 'Speak' to say it's another language! Lol You really haven't got a clue have you pal? Honest, haven't you heard what people say about Geordies? 'Learn To Speak English'... You're a complete nut case if you haven't heard about people in England that can't really understand Geordie. You're a waste.

[ImTheStig1]

Maybe I haven't travelled much? What the fuck has that got to do about Geordies?

Why does your profile say Ukraine? If you're from Oz? Lol Some Spastic from Ukraine saying he's from Oz then CLAIMING himself a Geordie, My Life! Get the fuck out you Cretin!

[clarakapp]

whatever..

anyway

Brian Johnson is a legend

[yurismir1]

@ImTheStig1 They must be retarded then. I'm American and even I can understand every word.

[animacs1]

@ImTheStig1 Well, I'm Hungarian, and understand his accent...true, I've been living in Gateshead for several years:) but still.

(by the way, is is originally from here, Gateshead, not Newcastle) .

[EJRocky]

What was it that he had to hide on his neck?

[waddleder]

his necklace kept hitting the microphone, so he put to the back to remedy that situation.

[texaspete66]

Top boy Brian, love his voice, style, stage presence, charisma, everything !! He looks a bit like Bruce Springsteen - another great rocker.

[Vatch1966]

Brian always had a great sense of humor whenever conducting interviews.

[pobhockle]

Great interview. Sounds like a great producer.

[scarlettt01]

brian johnson is a geordie.......my dad used to be freinds with him..his name was davey gardner

[ImTheStig1]

Isn't**

[ImTheStig1]

His accent is Australian or Scottish it's Geordie. Here in Newcastle we don't call it a accent we call it a language cos the words we use aren't English so that's why it's hard to understand him.

[stoneoffarel]

it sounds cute though haha

[safeboy43]

Why did the receptionist run away from Brian? I would be rocking all day!

[l7ebels]

B 0 N S C 0 T T

[rigimp]

bon scotts voice was a true 1 and only but yeah unfortunately brian was a decent replacement. my fav tune has to be ride on

[johngraySRHS]

omg brian ur my idol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[devja71]

i could just sit there all day and listen to brian talk. it's fun trying to figure out if his accent is the british, scottish, or aussie part lol. "no worries"obviously the aussie comin out haha

[lostcaus]

he's from newcastle in north ish england lol he's not aussie he's geordie thats why he was in the band geordie

[baconman385]

LOL "No Worries"!!!!!

[didgeman987]

9:05...wtf is up with that cough lol xD

[a456987]

prbly interviewer

[MaximumRocker30]

[CodFan95]

[kirkwanglers32]

Nice guy good band

[slickstarr]

xD he's dead funny. and he doesnt seem to have lost all his geordie accent either :D

[Speedquest]

You people of all ages need to remember .....These people put htere heart and soul into this. Today people have all digital enhancment t makk there songs!~

[Denialtwist]

9:17 i laughed so hard

[robeeetro]

amateurs

[austinwrightisawsome]

Did you know that angus and malcom are actually both british. Trust me I have a huge up-to-date book about EVERYTHING. Right from when angus was like 5, better yet, born.

[freddysmith66]

Correct, they are indeed Scottish along with Bon, who actually emigrated with them on the same flight.

[killerperez]

NO theyre scottish, its the singer whos britis, i have theyre i billion page biography, trust me r look it up

[austinwrightisawsome]

Yeah. I looked it over last night. i have a huge book about it too. They are from Cranhill, Glasgow. But that's in the UK and whenever I hear UK British automatically comes to mind. Oh is your book Maximum Rock And Roll

[killerperez]

haha yeah, I love it!! though i finished, its pretty long and ha aot of details about their life. it should be called "the life of AC/DC"

[TrimTOODLE]

brian is english and so is cliff....only phil is really aussie!

[MarioBlade134]

Bon Scott before Brian is too

[clarakapp]

What does "really aussie" mean.

They both have Australian accents, went to school there, have family there (same with Bon). Not trying to detract from their Scots heritage in anyway which may be a factor too.

But they are really Aussie in one way. They were the best (along with Rose Tattoo) of a small group of similar bands that came from the early 1970s Aussie pub rock circuit. I am always surprised that AC-DC fans often overlook these other bands. Airboure is a modern take on this sound.

[Dustehue928]

Why dont you guys stop mocking great vocalists and embaress YOURself! Have some respect for the elder! Brian is a really great singer and a great man

[KingHenrik1967]

he's from newcastle in england.

and he is one of the best singers EVER as far as im concerned, if any1 truly questions that then how can AC/DC sell that many albums and be that successful if their front man isn't up to scratch.

[gessnermatt]

He sounds Irish

[xj2yzz]

How do the british singer get rid of their english when singing?

[vincevouyer]

brian can't hit the high notes anymore....

bit like planty when he embarrasses himself nowadays.

why don't these old codgers fuck off and stop embarrassing themselves and their reputations?!

[AlochEX]

i think that after beeing so goos and at tha top thay just cant let go without a fight

and they r a symbol of rock and roll and thay don't have o impres enybody ....o

know it sound stupid....its kinda like the axel rose story....with the duference that brain is way better and doesent have a shitti attitude

[mrlolboy1]

7:11 præhæhæhæ

[musicgroup99]

he's so funny ;)

great brian johnson,great!

[iluvtaiwan]

go brian johnson! long live AC/DC!

[spiderstalin]

this guy is a legend, and a great inspiration.

[IndysBack]

Lol, I didn't get it, Why'd he spin his neck leather around?

[and2244rew]

It was messing with the microphone.

[IndysBack]

Mm. Now I want to know how. Lol.
