The Next AC/DC Vocalist?

[mchopcho]

Better next singer for Cinderella than AC/DC.

[donvalleydon]

@mchopcho

Cheers! We are all unique and do what we do with passion and intensity... that is the bottom line. Appreciate your comment.

[collinsjacob98]

BON SCOTT IS THE REAL KING

[donvalleydon]

@collinsjacob98

BON SCOTT IS THE REAL KING 100% Cheers!

[Bretster2010]

I would run around the world fronting AC-DC tribute bands. You definitely Do a great Brian Johnson.

[donvalleydon]

@Chedi57

The Answer - Great Band! Cheers!

[U2Bprez]

Sounds a helluva lot like Tom Keifer of Cinderella!

[donvalleydon]

@U2Bprez

Appreciate your feedback

Thanks for your comment. Cheers!

[lilou2026]

Wow nice voice !

AC/DC need a new album and tour

[xmaswheeler]

AC/DC will never die!

[lari4015]

ACDC IT IS TIME

[motorocker333]

brian johnson forever

[donvalleydon]

@motorocker333

brian johnson forever - brian johnson is the king.

[HappyJackProduction1]

@motorocker333 Bon Scott was the best hands down, Brian is a fantastic #2

[donvalleydon]

@HappyJackProduction1

Absolutely!

[jerrylee01]

whoaw putain la rythmique de malade ça groove méchamment tain le chanteur c'est passe les cordes vocales a l'acide I LOVE IT

[spaceman89100]

Well i just seen a Interview today on vh1 classic with Brian Johnson..and he stated that he just seen Angus and Malcolm an the said they was getting bored..and was thinking of gearing up for a new album and Brian was all for it...

[donvalleydon]

@spaceman89100

Awesome News! Brian is the king

[JerryWE]

I agree with XEROCKXBand that it sounds like Tom Kiefer of Cinderella. 

[XEROCKXBand]

sounds like Tom Kiefer from Cinderella... who tried to sound like Bon too.

[donvalleydon]

@XEROCKXBand

I appreciate your comment and opinion - no one can sound like Bon - there are only 3 people in the world who come close.

[TubeFreakJonas]

I think you need to go on five major world tours to make your voice a little raspier LOL.

And yeah... I'm guessing AC DC wouldn't do the Journey / Steve Perry Clone thing. You ever try thrash metal, there are some good melodic things coming out of that genre. it's crossing over. You could be Slayer meets Evanescence.

[DAMIENloh1970]

WHO MADE WHO..

[debgibsonfan]

Sounds a lot better than Brian does nowadays.....that's for sure.

[poopyguy1694]

@debgibsonfan thats debatable brian still sounds good

[donvalleydon]

@poopyguy1694

BRIAN IS THE KING!

[maskedguitarplayer]

@MrLTBR he sounds just like him lol

[donvalleydon]

@MrLTBR

Cheers!

[AWGMJANS]

you've got a great voice but i don't think they would be looking fo a Briancopy... They could have done that in 1980 with Bon, There are lots of great lookalikes of Bon too.

good luck anyway

[Bertminator]

Awesome voice...sounds like you can hit those high notes Brian can't hit anymore. You got my vote! Respectully though, I miss Bon's voice & touch.

[tomthefunky]

Great job!!

[koenf1]

Great vocals! But I'm afraid......that there won't be a "next" AC/DC vocalist. They'll probably quit in a short period, but let's hope not :)

[Lonewolfff36]

Killer version of this track. Somehow you sound even more evil than Brian and Bon. Rockin job dude. Even deadlier that youre a fellow Canuck

[bowmaaker]

YEP YOU GOT IT -BUT YOU ALSO HAFTA DO BON --DONT FORGET Bon! --YOU GOTTA KEEP IT UP FOR A WHOLE SET too-quite a challenge,but you sound just like em.

.!!

[donvalleydon]

@bowmaaker

Thank you for your kind words! Cheers!

The spirit of Bon, Will Forever, RIDE ON!

[HandyMan55o]

Great singing

[CEnforce]

I'm impressed. You have a voice that fits the ac/dc style perfectly and resembles Brian Johnson while still sounding different and like your own unique voice. Pretty cool. I think that Brian will stick things out with the band until they all quit or he is just unable to do it anymore (and, sadly, from some of the times I've seen them recently he seems close to that point) but if they ever do look to replace him, for whatever reason, you would be an amazing fit.

[donvalleydon]

@CEnforce

Thank you for your comment.

This is one of the highest compliments I could ever receive.

Brian truly is irreplaceable and I hope that AC/DC "Rides On" for many years to come.

If an opportunity arises I will rise to the occasion

[CosmosRetard]

dont look to imitate, the fans will hate that. you're voice is too good to be "the guy that sounded like" if you get me.

[donvalleydon]

@CosmosRetard

I accept your comment as a great compliment. Cheers Mate!

[spamstoper3]

[donvalleydon]

@spamstoper3

Cheers! Appreciate your kind words!

Keep it Rockin'

[xXpeduskyXx]

is this like the studio version of who made who??

[donvalleydon]

@xXpeduskyXx

This is our own version of "Who Made Who" and I am singing on this version

[13Psycho13]

Brian isn't going to retire yet, but when he will I doubt angus and Malcolm (The founders of Ac/Dc for those who don't know) are gonna look for ANOTHER frontmen..

And they are also in their 50's/60's , and I doubt there is someone in their 50's who sings like Brian/Bon.

[donvalleydon]

@13Psycho13

Anything is possible! Time will tell... Cheers Mate!

[qwurban]

i think you are good but it's just that no one can replace brian.

[donvalleydon]

@qwurban

Brian is the "King" - Cheers Mate!

[DAL1989]

Incredible vocals Don..I also checked out your song Headstart...Beautiful song man..The best of luck in all that you do brother..Keep rockin'

[donvalleydon]

@DAL1989

Thank you for the kind and rockin' comment! Cheers!

[donvalleydon]

@unlikeanyotherhuman

I highly doubt that they will ever have another singer and certainly not via a reality tv show but anything is possible. Cheers from the east coast. I use to live in Caledon

[oldetimes]

I almost like this version of "Who made who" better... Almost

[donvalleydon]

@oldetimes

Very best rockin' regards!

Cheers! 

[TheWholigans]

You could tell me that was Brian, and I'd believe you.

[donvalleydon]

@TheWholigans

This is the highest compliment I could receive!

Thank you for your kind words...

[b0nsc0ttr0ck]

Yeah, sounds a lot like Tom Keifer :D If you're a Cinderella fan, you should make some vocal covers mate! Cool voice, keep on rockin'!

[donvalleydon]

@b0nsc0ttr0ck

Keep it loud & proud mate!

Thanks for checking out this video - cheers!

[ironmanACDC123]

sounds just like Brian during "For Those About To Rock"

[donvalleydon]

@ironmanACDC123

Keep it Rockin Mate & Thank You For Your Positive Comment

[kmburss]

Wicked voice, cuts like a razor just like BJ.

[donvalleydon]

@kmburss

Cheers!

Appreciate your kind and positive comment...

Keep it Rockin' - Loud & Proud...

[ACDCman1727]

I would rather AC/DC get a whole different singer because, I do not what to see AC/DC like the new Journey, Journey is more like a tribute band now and it would make a very sad to see AC/DC like that, but your voice is very good.

[donvalleydon]

@ACDCman1727

Absolutely!

I have a completely original voice to offer the band but at his point I am enjoying

being a tribute to the band.... Brian is the "King" and an inspiration to me.

Cheers!

[WhatSayestThou]

Sounds TOO much like Brian.

[donvalleydon]

@WhatSayestThou

Thank you for your valued and honest opinion.

Best Regards!

[9misuraco6]

Sounds more like Tom Keifer from Cinderella

[ATRecordsEurope]

Wonderful !!!

[donvalleydon]

@ATRecordsEurope

Thank you kindly for your positive comment! Cheers!

[blazinbloke]

If Brian ever did decide to call it a day then I think the whole band should. Brian Johnson has done a sterling job replacing the great Bon Scott whilst also keeping his spirit alive. They are getting old now and should let their legacy become the ultimate legend. The Stones will keep going until Jagger dies and nobody will replace him thats for sure. Queen keep going with Paul Rogers but even he is trying to keep his own legend alive and not be sucked into being typecast a replacement.

[donvalleydon]

@blazinbloke

Absolutely!

I'm Dreamin' the dream....want to jam/meet with the band!

ACCA DACCA 110% Respect!

[donvalleydon]

No Doubt Mate - I simply want to truly Rock "Once"

Live the dream!

[donvalleydon]

@blazinbloke

What will be will be.....keep an open mind....

Many thought the band was finished after Bon...

Opinions are fine but an open mind has endless possibilities

[RcPrO33]

i think that if brian retired that the band should pack it all together because they will never find anyone a fraction as good as brian. i think AC/DC is the greatest rock band but there is no point in them stayin together if brian hangs up the mic.

[donvalleydon]

@RcPrO33

Maybe!

Makes sense, but does sense have anything to do with it?

It's rock'n'roll......

[N1v4rb3kul]

to be honest mate i think if brian retired, the band would pack it in altogether

[donvalleydon]

@N1v4rb3kul

Anything is possible - Cheers!

[HagusYoung]

@N1v4rb3kul damn right, they had a wonderfull career. nobody would blame them if they stopped if brian leaves.

[donvalleydon]

@HagusYoung

Absolutely!

[ishallkil]

Very Impressive vocals!

[donvalleydon]

@ishallkil

Sincerely appreciate your positive comment....

Keep it Rockin' - Loud & Proud!

[MetalMakesMeEargasm]

Well when Bon died they found Brian, if Brian Ever quits/dies then this guy would be the guy to hire.

[donvalleydon]

@MetalMakesMeEargasm

Cheers to you for your kind comment!

Keep it Rockin' loud & proud...

[MetalMakesMeEargasm]

@donvalleydon I thought I was listening to Brian singing in this vid. So ya, lol

[TMalltheway]

@MetalMakesMeEargasm Bon actually Told Angus and Malcom that if anything ever happens to him to check out Brian Bon said he was the greatest vocalist hes ever heard

[donvalleydon]

@TMalltheway

Yes I know almost all of the AC/DC stories, as I have studied the band thoroughly!

PS. I just received an authentic Brian Johnson hat from Detroit 1983 concert - Feels Good On My Head!

[jackdavis11]

irreplacable

[donvalleydon]

@jackdavis11

Absolutely Irreplaceable...Brian is KING!

[lespaulman1]

This guy sounds like the singer for Cinderella

[donvalleydon]

@lespaulman1

Cheers for the positive words.........

[motorcrossakarn95]

Marcus Lundgren !

@motorcrossakarn95

Nice Call!

I would like to do an AC/DC-Off with Marcus!

Let's ROCK!

[brettiswylde13]

i know he doesnt sound like but.......jason mraz?

[donvalleydon]

@brettiswylde13

Only time will tell.....cheers!

[MrWlAlex]

Good luck bro.

[donvalleydon]

@MrWlAlex

Anything is possible bro! Cheers!

[nosdog136]

I'd say the singer from 'Airborne' has Brians voice.

[donvalleydon]

@nosdog136

No one on this planet has Brian's voice.

Do you actually believe your statement?

I respect you but seriously, there is No One has has Brian's voice.

Very Best Regards....Keep it Rockin'

[Petebindestrek92]

I think that AC/DC will release one or maybe two more albums and then have their biggest and best world tour ever (incl. Brian Johnson!). Then they all can retire. ;)

[donvalleydon]

@Petebindestrek92

Sounds like a good call...but who really knows!

Respect in ROCK! Cheers....

[donvalleydon]

@Tatze6

I'll check out Tornillo! Cheers!

[thelonetrucker]

when brian retiers they all will their getting 2 old

[donvalleydon]

@thelonetrucker

This may or not be the case but considering that AC/DC is blues based rock I'm going to believe that they will keep the band going strong for as long as BB King has... Cheers!

[donvalleydon]

@zephranna01

Thank you for acknowledging that in your opinion I sound like Brian Johnson.

Only Brian can sound like Brian although as a tribute vocalist my goal is to sound like the original singer. If I had the opportunity to audition for AC/DC I would certainly bring a personal/unique vocal element into the mix.

[eladreltuc]

Thanks for the credit on that first picture...I took it. I recognize my photos in an instant. The one of Brian running on the catwalk in Moncton.

[donvalleydon]

@eladreltuc

Is this AC/DC Boogieman from east coast Canada?

Cheers!

[MrJohnlovegrove]

Chanced on this one evening, take a bow Don Coleman and other musicians! Like everyone else I don't know what the future holds for current ac dc line up, but for now I enjoyed it for what it is - a top notch cover version, good luck to you all

[donvalleydon]

@MrJohnlovegrove

Thank you kindly for the positive words!

Very Best Regards From Canada!

Only the Rock Gods know what the future holds :)

[MrGrog88]

in my opinion, if brian johnson retires, ACDC retires

[donvalleydon]

@MrGrog88

Only the rock gods know, but you may be right!

Cheers!

[ratmq]

@MrGrog88 That's what I thought when Bon died........Who knows?

[donvalleydon]

@ratmq

Exactly...who knows?

Cheers mate!

[gerbile3]

He alright clarified that he doesn't want to retire, but would want to if he couldn't preform a full show.

[donvalleydon]

@gerbile3

Yes that is exactly what he said and I respect him wholeheartedly for that statement!

Cheers!

[kickdadonkey666]

Uglybob6666 Brian was not in an acdc tribute band he was in a glam rock band called Geordie

[donvalleydon]

@kickdadonkey666

Absolutely! Geordie has some kickin' tunes!

It's great to listen to songs from Brian's Pre-AC/DC career....

[uglybob6666]

a.f.a.I.k. Brian was playing in an AC/DC tribute band and Bon Scott said that if he died he wanted Brian to replace him. Now, AC/DC can't go on forever but if Brian was to be replaced then (as a Canadian) I think it's cool that someone that sounds like him and is Canadian is being considered. I don't think they'll give up until they can't do it anymore.

[donvalleydon]

@uglybob6666

I hope that the band stays in it's current form until they retire.

If the opportunity arises I'd certainly go to an audition with Hells Bells on.

It would be the highest honour. Thanks for your positive words....

[Mansondandy]

If brian leaves , ac/dc would give up, it's logicall. rember that Brian is here for 30 years!!!!!! respect

[donvalleydon]

@Mansondandy

You may be correct and most possible are correct!

Brian is the "King"! Cheers!

[robdotcom71]

If they did replace another sing they would not go for a clone/sound alike.

They didn't do that with Bon..so I highly doubt that's gonna happen with Brian...

Once Brian hangs his mic up I think it's all over red rover...

[donvalleydon]

@robdotcom71

I've read many books on the band and yes they may not want a clone as in the case of Bon passing away.

Everyone has an opinion about what will happen to the band in the future but the real deal is that nobody knows for sure what they would/will do.

To be honest the band themselves may not know what they would do, so it is impossible to say what the future will bring. I hope they stay together for many years to come. Thank you for your opinion. Cheers!

[Tangointheface]

I'm glad brian isn't leaving, but if he were to leave then maybe the guy in the video, Airbourne's Joel O'Keefe or what about the lead singer of Rhino Bucket?

[donvalleydon]

@Tangointheface

Excellent suggestions. If Brian does leave up ahead and AC/DC continues it would be an honour to be on a short list with the singers you suggested.

I'm hoping that the band in it's current form, will continue for many years!

[canaanfain]

brians not retiring anymore

[donvalleydon]

@canaanfain

Thank god Brian has changed his mind.

He is the "King"

[brianhg777]

hey do you know it Ac Dc its going to open auditions ??

[donvalleydon]

@brianhg777

I have no idea but the most important thing is to be the best we can be.

For we are in charge of our own destinies....reach for the top :)

[warmachine169]

You got my vote Don! Still can't believe the voice you got there. ACDC's vocals are one of the hardest in rock to replicate but somehow you found a way to do it. \,,/

[donvalleydon]

@warmachine169

Keep it Rockin' - Loud & Proud...

You ROCK!

[ramurel2006]

Yes, he is !!! YES, definitely !!! Amazing.

[donvalleydon]

@ramurel2006

Brian Johnson is the "King"

Thank you for your kind words.

Very Best Regards....

[ar2619]

Very, very good indeed! 5*

[donvalleydon]

@ar2619

There is only one Brian Johnson and no one can be him. He is a personality and performer extraordinaire. Brian and every member of AC/DC are a testament to the "doing what you do best" scenario. I certainly enjoy being him and being me at the same time and "Giving It All I've Got".

[EcWmetalDyXXx79]

I like Brian Johnson, he is my favorite singer and a good man, but I would be happy if you were in AC / DC vocalist, do it very well, man!.

[donvalleydon]

@EcWmetalDyXXx79

Thank you for this great compliment

Cheers and Keep it Rockin'

[AppleSauceInvasion]

Wow, I thought this was the original recording at first. This Don Coleman would fit in perfectly with AC/DC.

[donvalleydon]

@AppleSauceInvasion

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Keep it Rockin' - Loud & Proud! Cheers!

[falloutboyforever100]

please tell me; do you really think Brian will retire,or has he changed his mind now? They're my favourite band and i really don't want them to quit EVER!

[donvalleydon]

I believe that Brian and the band will continue to rock our socks off for as long as they possibly can. The most important thing that Brian is saying is "If he can't deliver 100% he won't continue" and at the moment he is nailing the tunes and delivering a stellar show!

[backinblack49]

Didn't you guys hear the interview that said he has no intentions of retiring anymore? He isn't going anywhere he loves acdc too much.

[donvalleydon]

Yes I heard that and I'm very pleased to know that Brian isn't retiring - Brian is the "King"

[ANGUSCHOOLBOY54]

hey don you do sound good but if brian does retire i say that they will talk him out of it. ive met thema nd askked if theyd ever retire and angus told me that theyve talked about it for 10 yrs but they do what they love and thats rock and roll he said they probably will never quit keep going til the end i say we will we end up seeing another album and 1 or 2 more world tours!! ride on ACDC you ROCK!!!

[donvalleydon]

Cheers Mate!

I can only hope that AC/DC continue in their current form for many years to come....

Keep it Rockin' in 2010!

[RockMetalGod09]

They won't replace him. IF he retires, they have enough material to release 3 or 4 albums, maybe more, w/out touring.

[donvalleydon]

It's great to be in the know but I would have to say that they probably don't know what they would do for sure if Brian retired. You may be absolutely correct but only time will tell. If AC/DC had been my band for decades I would most likely end it when Brian retires :)

Cheers Mate!

[RockAndRollEruption]

I would think if AC/DC were getting a new vocalist they would pick someone who doesn't sound as much like Brian or Bon. You do a good job, no doubt about that, but I don't think they would go for someone that sounds as much like Brian as you do.

[donvalleydon]

Based on their history I agree. They would look for a unique voice to replace Brian if that is ever necessary. I have many other voices. This is simply a demonstration of my Brian voice. Check out my new original Loud Hard Fast & Wild (Reprise) for an example of my personal rock'n'roll vocal style . Cheers!

[juzu4me]

Dude...you fricken rock! I saw them in Winnipeg last August, best concert I've ever been to. They're amazing

[donvalleydon]

Black Ice Tour is an awesome show!

Thanks for the kind words...cheers!

[wrinklyrocker1]

Great sounding vocal, good luck with your quest & Keep on Rockin in the Free World!!! Cheers from Vancouver!

[BillysBMW]

well with all the respect my friend Don i dont think that anyone could replace Brian

but this record makes me wonder if there is one :)

[donvalleydon]

I agree with you 100%. Brian is the "King"

I put this recording out there because I am proud of the one take result / unedited result and it is interesting to hear the responses from people from around the world. Of course it is my dream to perform with my favourite rock band, but admittedly a dream is what it is at this point...

[TheNorwegianACDCFan]

is this serious?

[donvalleydon]

This is my voice. A voice with a dream....

Live the dream! Dreams do come true.

[shagapaul]

i admitt you sing as well Brian but i'd like to see you on stage instead, it's easy to give sound on studio.

[donvalleydon]

Brian is "King"

The vocal you hear in this video is a one take

live off the floor - no edits performance.

I will send you a live performance video...

Best Regards.

[atlanticwall]

I reckon your the right man for the job Don if Brian does decide to hang up his cap...........

cheers Mark

[donvalleydon]

Anything is possible.

Thank you for the kudos! Cheers!

[THEELDER1]

DON, How bloody good would it be if you were chosen!

In my opinion there's no other choice!!

DON IT MUST BE YOU!!!

Rock on Bro'

[donvalleydon]

Thank you for your kind and inspiring words!

[showpabbq]

I think we know, "Who made who," :) You rock man, keep rockin! Grats.

[dvideto]

Don. so when are they coming with the tour bus ? For those about to ROCK we salute you !! Dave.

[donvalleydon]

I hope that AC/DC remains intact for many years.

If the opportunity arises to audition - I'm ready to be myself and deliver the goods to the very best of my ability...

[bigstagemagazine]

who better then DON COLEMEN !! He is a icon already so much talent , heart and the pipes on that boy he is AC/DC !! Carry on the power don best wishes for your dream... congrats...it's in the bag .

[donvalleydon]

I am what I am and nothing is in the bag.....

Thank you for your positive and powerful thoughts. Shoot To Thrill!

[papercuts777]

God stuff, bro. Is that ur voice? Sounds beyond awsome!

I can't can't find tell of AC/AC looking for a new frontman, anywhere on the web..?

Cheers, bro, u rock.

[donvalleydon]

Look closer mate!

Google: Brian Johnson Retiring...

[donvalleydon]

Yes this is my voice - live off the floor...

Cheers!

[yugijan2196]

Don it would be amazing if u got to be the next singer of AC/DC......hell ill know i got to talk to the new lead singer haha

[donvalleydon]

The voice you hear in this song is not the new voice of AC/DC.

This is a passionate tribute to Brian.

The new voice is a hybrid....

Stay Tuned.........Original Release Coming Soon:

Loud, Hard, Fast & Wild (Reprise)

[SuperAndy35]

hope you are the next don it would be great for you to be next ac/dc vocalist i would be like "hell yeah its don" if it is you did i say you might really be?

[donvalleydon]

Dream the dream - live the dream - aspire to be the best you can be and enjoy the moment.

Cheers!

[Marshallsg]

Nothing against yea Don, but if Brian were to quit, I would not want AC/DC to bring in someone else, it wouldn't feel right. I mean they did it with Bon, but it's just different now because we've known Brian for so long/

I have the exact sentiments as you.

I hope they continue for many years.

If AC/DC decides to continue after Brian's retirement, I aspire to audition.

Performing with them live would be "The Absolute & Ultimate Experience"
