Top Gear AC/DC BRIAN JOHNSON INTERVIEW TOP GEAR BBC Sun 26 Jul 2009

[gabz150]

wow!!! where is the dislike bar???

[moisesverza]

brian big vocal

[Ali74]

I hear what Clarkson is sayin, in that Brian isn't as high profile as other rock frontmen. Hes very modest and just gets on with it, and he's unquestionably among the top 20 British rock vocalists

Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Roger Daltry, David Gilmour, Brian Johnson, Thom Yorke, Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Sting, Rod Stewart, Van Morrison, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Joe Cocker, Bruce Dickinson.

[TheShepster80]

All we need now on top gear is ozzy osbourne,james hetfield,lemmy.

[Speedstar235]

"...and I'm just bursting for a pee. And I went outside I thought, there's this little plinth, y' know a concrete plinth and I stand there going "ahhh". Then these two guards went *pretends to speak russian*. They were real upset, and the translator came and I just pissed on Sputnik." XDDD

[HillSideProductions1]

Are u americans jelous acdc is aussie :P

[WickedKnightAlbel]

@HillSideProductions1 Not particularly. If you're gonna try starting a fight, try harder next time.

[Lennon4life1968]

Brians been all class for 30 years. He took over a tough gig, made it his own and has never let us forget the name Bon Scot.

[FLAME4564]

heheey xD now thats a lap xD damn Brian Johnson was lookin badass in that lap xD.

[cosmictimes]

Who knew Andy Capp sang in ACDC on his way back from the pub

[Xreaper34]

@xmixfernzx You obviously do not know who Jeremy Clarkson is.

[riff88m]

I love you ! for me, Brian Johnson is one of the best hard rock singer of all time.

[99RedOctober]

He drives like he sings. Roaring all over the place.

[A7XDC182]

He has.. THE..COOLEST accent, Ever

[SPOOKSTR]

Makes ya arse go like a rabbits nose.......classic !!!

[MikoJaski]

they should also invite bruce dickinson. it would be awesome

[mutasim0hourani]

Happy Birthday Brian <3

[xmicfernzx]

brian johnson is a simple down to earth guy.. and this prick interviewing him is like a troll

[woodywoody07]

in all fairness clarksons just a prick

[MrManiac606]

Clarkson doesn't miss a chance to knock the legendary BJ, quips about "nobody's heard of ...", "working class" etc show what a patronising, middle class, Genesis loving, sports jacket wearing twerp Clarskon is.

[CaptainCarling]

Anyone who knows music knows Brian Johnson and AC/DC. Jezza is talking about main stream shite

[callagan44magnum]

acdc or nothing

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

i like brian better than bon

[jalarquitecto]

You are the greatest Geordie of the 20th & 21st century!!!!

[stjhonstonefan]

AC/DC are legends

[horselaverda]

IF I COULD MEET JUST ONE ROCK STAR,IT WOULD BE BRIAN JOHNSTON

[jacksniper713]

dude i thought this guy was dead o.O

[patko1610]

no one can be faster than BRAIN johnson

[666cc99d]

@JoeJoeRamone Bon was great and the music was great now its shit sorry but thats my opinion.

[MrHewitt123]

Yup this is what we watch in the uk, theres actually a channel called dave !

[TheLaMoFo]

what a great guy

[ChrisAmazon]

He turned that sedan into a super car!

[voxje]

'you could open the windows' lol

[vvBULLETvv1]

I live in carlisle. He's right. That is a good road to drive on

[Ibrahim666freenati]

what's the song that did he sang on the car?

[BILLYKARLOFF]

ring me brian.

[AngusTheWolf]

im gonna put sliding windows on my car :P

[lionsingh18]

@ GrazaShaw.........Clarkson is a massive AC /DC fan, asked Brian on the show when they met in Sydney !!! It was tongue in cheek comment ;-)

[nic1357]

what a fuckin legend

[andyaitchison1]

That man makes me proud to be a geordie!!

[NetBoySteve]

@andyaitchison1 excellent!!



[666cc99d]

well at least he can drive better than he can sing. BON WAS ACDC.

[RTWUROTTS]

@666cc99d You gotta listen to Back in Black again ,

Yeah there are times his voice isnt what it was 30 yrs ago ,

Brian is a legend ,a lovely man and after the passing of Bon ,who is untouchable, the Ultimate , AC/DC were fortunate to get Brian!

[ThePhil909]

@666cc99d oh come on he's done a good job man yes bon was the voice from hell but but he was asked to do a job and fuk man i rocked to all the albums after bons death, but i have to say highway to hell  and let there be rock is nothin on bons versions,

[JoeJoeRamone]

@666cc99d Get over it. Bon was great, Brian is great, but the key to it all is Malcom

[Crxzadation]

lo quiero traducido

[boy1er1990]

I met him in the crowne plaza in dublin and only realised it was him the next day :(

[Juancho2301]

El papa de los Helaos !

[Flashlight1996]

All i understood was that Brian pissed on a sputnik.

[nickandrylan58]

he is the best singer ever and i no bon scott is good 2 but acdc should never ever die

ACDC 4EVER

[bunkman64]

@nickandrylan58 I hope they stop before they burn out. I am a HUGE George Thorogood fan and I have to admit that he has gone on TOO long. There comes a time when the torch should be passed and there is nothing sadder than a bunch of aged rockers trying to be what they once were (Such as KISS for instance). I LOVE AC/DC and I wish them GREAT success for years to come..but not TOO many more.

[swiggedest]

@bunkman64 but there are not many good bands for the torches to be past down to, so the agged bands have to go on for as long as possible. LONG LIVE AC/DC!

[bunkman64]

@swiggedest LONG LIVE AC/DC!

[mavadd88]

jeremey does kinda have a point though... everybody knows acdc, but if you ask someone who their lead singer is most people would not have a clue. Whatever, hes awesome anyways.

[2charliep]

This was easily the best interview on TG. I could have listened to them chatting all day, what a lovely guy.

[superbosta2]

its sad how he complains happily hes going to eternal lake of fire ... hell, a brings billions of fans to burn with him for eternity :/

[WarriorMigs24]

Great Post Mate

[Swfronis]

He was sooooo FAST and HAPPY!!!!!

[DrJewlian]

I bet Jay Kay nearly had a heart attack after Jezza said 1:45 right before .9 on the lap time

[grammageo]

Brian Johnson=LEGEND!

[carig121]

that was "rock'n roll driving" by a 62 years old legend...

[eggfromsywell]

Another person from the music industry with talent beats Simon Cowell

[Uncrust]

so real.

[goatboy420]

The man is an absolute legend!

Out of curiosity, does anyone know which one of the Top Gear DVDs features an extended version of this interview? Someone told me about it, and I'm desperate to get it!!!

[XxxzWONDERKIDZzxxX]

He sounds a bit like a pirate. XD

[Aspire198]

Brian is the man

[DontMakeMeStrikeU]

rofl brian is the best

[wolfiewifie]

looove his voice, it always takes me by surprise

[Dice3000]

best interview in Top Gear.. ever

[gasb911]

he's the best

[TheUkadverts]

brian at his best

[karanjhalaguy16578]

ins oem of his songs his voice sounds like John Fogarty

[mistacoz]

Rabbit's nose.

[nittenboys]

@tygersofpantang couldnt agree more 

[jrbostonrocks]

Realy how can you dislike this? You 7 people should hate yourself

[TYPHOOMASTER]

i never expected to watch an interview with him, and hear him say bugger lol

[toyotaprius79]

spell his initials

[azimuth361]

He's such a cool guy. On Alice Cooper nights, he was talking about the corporations taking over music. On meeting one of the record label executives; "Hi, I'm Brian. Do you know what I do?" The suit answered, "No, what do you do?" "I'm the lead singer, mate."

The suits pressure them into making an album and a tour ever year so they can make more money. Brian's answer, "How much money do you need?"

He's a great bloke.

[Maljanus]

hahaha great guy he is xD

[WhatsUpScrote]

He acidentally pissed on Sputnik??

That's one of the best stories ever!

[yurismir1]

He's like a real Andy Capp.

[degergard]

Makes your arse go like a rabbits nose

[KapePhoenix]

He would be faster with the ROCK 'N' ROLL TRAIN!

[TheGeordie4life]

im proud to be a geordie

[Scorpion9Sting]

@tygersofpantang Respect

[Dimension150]

The world needs more people like Brian Johnson.

[zrectnat]

@Dimension150 exactly he sorta reminds me of my grand father who was in nam

[NR200348Fan]

At 0:37 Look At the Woman in the background. Doesn't it look like she has a huge assault rifle in her hands LOL!

[TheMightyHartley]

@NR200348Fan Ha ha! It fucking does!

[megantokiohotel]

@NR200348Fan ass hole

[NR200348Fan]

@megantokiohotel Why'd You Call Me That?

[dipav18]

big fan of brian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JABS991]

before the reveal ---- knew it was blazing fast.

[straylightrun84]

GEORDIE LEGEND!

[Gravelandart]

Brian in an interview with The Australian Daily Telegraph, said people don't want rich celebrities, like Bob Geldof and Bono, telling them to think of starving children. "I don't tell everybody they should give money - they can't afford it," said Johnson. "When I was a working man I didn't want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa." HE'S RIGHT: WHITE PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP! Check out vids on my chan! David Duke 2012!

[Mysterious0Bob]

@Gravelandart White people? Why, because we're all Bono? Piss off.

[Gravelandart]

@Mysterious0Bob - what's your problem? If you like U2 and their leftist, multiculti agenda go listen to them.

[0nomates]

@Gravelandart absolutley spot on there, mate, i wish more people would wake up to this and smeel the coffee

[0nomates]

@Gravelandart absolutley spot on there, mate, i wish more people would wake up to this and smeel the coffee.

[Gravelandart]

@0nomates - Thanks brother, I sense that our people are beginning to wake up and when they do there are alot of accounts to settle with those who have forced this sick multiculturalism on whites and causing untold suffering and death. It's coming friend...stay tuned.

[mandymefine]

i saw him on e news

[boston21footballusa]

hessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­s famous

[Chrisdrumz]

Whats up with the crowd standing there? No seats?

[GrazaShaw]

''The man nobodys heard of''...f.uck off Jezza, hes a living Legend! The poeple you asked must of just come from a Britney Spears concert!

[Gar91]

@GrazaShaw You forget that he is Australian. England pretends they dont exist 

[lolatmyaccounts]

@Gar91 Brian Johnson Australian?

No he is from England in a place called Newcastle...

[Gar91]

@lolatmyaccounts Oh, dang. I should have done my research. I figured since the band is from Australia... haha. thanks for the correction

[FERALKITTYCATDEEPS]

@GrazaShaw  He was sarcastic

[mastersgta1]

[LeBartman]

[agenthelios1]

[Ali74]

Brian Johnson is definitely in the top 10 British singers of all time list.

[cosmicgate07]

[Gitaaroverlast]

Awesome accent! Haha

[Eedgit]

I watched this last night, and besides being a fantastic artist, this man is utterly hysterical.

He's so down to earth and after watching this, it only upped the anti on my repect for Brian.

[martinchromcak]

what is the episode?

[Dontattaglia1]

brian johnson ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kn1b1s95]

2 things i love:

Top Gear and Hip-Hop

[JohnnyFavorite1970]

What is it about threads that have to do with rock and heavy metal that they always descend into 'x is better than y' bollocks? It's the same with Metallica/Megadeth.

ARGUING ABOUT IT WAS FUCKING BORING AND POINTLESS IN 1980 AND IT'S EVEN MORE FUCKING BORING AND POINTLESS NOW.

[fohawk871]

dude's scottish I thought he was australian cuz' thats where they got their start but apparently they're all from scotland

[lolatmyaccounts]

@fohawk871 Brian johnson is from newcastle in england.

[manfromregina]

FN stupid night.

I saw 1 of those stupid Suzuki's, on my way home form work,same blue too.

[erikjames47]

the other dude is bent

[nintendokong]

@erikjames47 brian johnson is whay better than bon scott

[UberPanj]

he's the only man who can say that he had pissed on Sputnik. LEGENDARY!

AC/DC FOREVER

[TheEvilelvis89]

fucking love brian. top singer and a funny bloke.

AC/DC 4 LIFE

[SFINX01]

the end is best

[Tyaena]

Brian is one of my favourite vocalists :)

AC/DC in my life forever !

[getje]

Sympathic guy this Brian Johnson.

[SPOOKSTR]

He pissed on Sputnik.....lol.

[SPOOKSTR]

Imagine if Bon was still alive and he had a go at Top Gear...The mind boggles...lol.

[AngusTheWolf]

you guys arguing that Bon Scott is better are fucking idiots. yes he was good, he was a fucking legend, but hes dead and if it wernt for Brian, AC/DC would have died then and there. who would you rather have replace Bon? Justin Bieber? Brian is fucking amazing so get over youselves. call yourselves AC/DC fans?

[starryian007]

@AngusTheWolf Can't quite agree with you there. AC/DC auditioned lots of singers after Bon's sad passing. Brian was just one of them. They felt that he was 'right' for the band. However, there could have been any number of singers that could have stepped in and done just as good a job. I certainy do not think if it hadnt been for Brian AC/DC would have been no more. That simply isn't true. A band of their class would certainly have found someone just as good.

[AngusTheWolf]

@starryian007 well the fact is he was the one who was chosen. hes an amazing singer and ACDC seem to be doing pretty well with him. its just fruteless to bitch about how bon was better and he was crap. Brian is lead singer, ACDC are good, bon was a legend, end of.

[stableshadow]

He's awesome.

[wolfwhoul001]

I would totaly like Brian be my grandfather that would awesome

[benoitthesoundguy]

says it like it is...and sings pretty good as well!

[MegaRockcool]

@benoitthesoundguy pretty good? HE IS THE BEST FUCKING SINGER EVER!!!!! next to old scotty who died

[RolandRhodes1]

Nice man

[jhsuperfast]

he looks about a decade younger than he said :D

[jackwarrenmusic]

acdc rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nothingbutrock666]

4:35,he's talking about when hey played a Tushino Airport,Moscow 1991

just for anyone who didn't know (for those who do,good onya)

[daviidsteen]

AC/DC FTW! <3 | Young Brothers = Top Class!

[wildvenisson]

Brian Johnson, the only man to piss on Sputnik and be forgiven lol!

[Computerprohelper]

Two LEGENDS

[calzacool9]

I dont think he cant stop bieng awesome, its natural

[Guitar123YEAH]

@calzacool9 L2W

[fatcamper]

lol he sounds like popeye the sailor man!

[Slipsters]

google ACDC THUNDER ..yup thats him

[MsBobohj]

ive always wondered what his real voice sounded like

[valahia689]

such a modest guy ,he's forever gratefull for being part of the band since Bon Scott died

[divyjain123456]

his singing and normal speaking voices are sooooo different !

[lystrek1]

The best singer in the world...tied with Bon Scott. Their sex appeal thru the roof....

[MegaJParry]

The North East and Tyne and Wear always produce the best celebrities.....EVER!

[TheHappynot]

I dont get the begging, Johnson is one of the most recognizable Rock stars on the planet.

[warlord4254]

i was one of the lucky few to be in the studio of this top gear episode, so when jeremy goes " i bet none of you know who this is, but please welcome the lead singer of acdc, brian johnson!," i was just just omg its him!! and now ive seen acdc live. best thing ever :)

[MrTonytruand13able]

excellent !!! haha ^^

[Leatherfaceisthebest]

id like him to be him grandfather^^

[Filmaker25]

This guy is awsome. What impresses me the most is how he overcame his own obstacles . Poverty to Wealth at such a late age.

[DUGISBLOG]

I heard that he was AC/DC official driver while first singer was alive.

[jedisonfire]

@DUGISBLOG Nahh man, that was Bon Scott when Dave Evans sung in the band very early into AC/DC, his awesome though :)

[diveplane]

amazing driving. wow

[Didgedy]

Damn, he should make audio tapes with his stories, cuz I could listen to him all day.

[Veee8]

Brilliant.

[pepix19]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­ES

[rejctsociety]

hey im myself believe that Bon scott would be proud. He wouldnt want the great name of acdc to fade, he would want it to live on. True he could never replace Bon but he is still a great man, god bless u brian

[XFunkWizardX]

quality bloke!
