Two Legends of rock...truly....but who is the best for you?

Here is some info for the two rock singers..

Bon Scott:

Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (9 July 1946 19 February 1980) was a Scottish-Australian rock musician, best known for being the lead singer and lyricist of Australian hard rock band AC/DC from 1974 until his death in 1980.[1] He was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, and emigrated to Melbourne, Australia with his family in 1952 at the age of six.

Scott formed his first band, The Spektors, in 1964 and became the band's drummer and occasional lead vocalist. He performed in several other bands including The Valentines and Fraternity before replacing Dave Evans as the lead singer of AC/DC in 1974.

AC/DC's popularity grew throughout the 1970s, initially in Australia, and then internationally. Their 1979 album Highway to Hell reached the top twenty in the United States, and the band seemed on the verge of a commercial breakthrough. However, on 19 February 1980, Scott died after a night of partying in London. AC/DC briefly considered disbanding, but the group quickly recruited vocalist Brian Johnson of the British glam rock band Geordie. AC/DC's subsequent album, Back in Black, was released only five months later, and was a tribute to Scott. It went on to become the second best-selling album in history.

Brian Johnson:

Brian Johnson (born October 5, 1947) is an English singer and songwriter who, since 1980, has been the lead singer for the Australian rock band AC/DC, and was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2003 along with the other members of the band.

In 1972, Brian Johnson became one of the founding members of the glam rock band Geordie. After a few hit singles, including UK Top 10 "All Because Of You" (1973), the band split up in 1978 then to be reformed by Johnson in 1980. But after signing new record deal, Johnson was asked to audition for AC/DC, whose charismatic frontman, Bon Scott, had died on February 19, 1980. A fan sent the band's management a tape of Johnson performing with Geordie. With the support of his bandmates in Geordie, Brian Johnson joined AC/DC.

Johnson's first album with AC/DC, Back in Black, is the band's best selling album and ranks second among the top-selling albums, trailing only Michael Jackson's Thriller, which was released in 1982.

In 1997, Johnson recorded with the band Jackyl on their song "Locked and Loaded", and in 2002 wrote lyrics and sang on the track "Kill the Sunshine" from their album Relentless.

  • Did you guys knew that Bon Scott Actually Brian was an awesome singer?

    What the fuck is the point of this?

    Could you imagine Bon Scott Singing Back in Black?

    it would not be the same.

    and i've heard Brian singing Highway to Hell, it's just not the same.

    AC/DC is Different from when they started, therefore, they can't be compared.

    and again, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT?

    Bon is gone, and nothing will change that, Brian is the Singer now, and i'm pretty sure Bon wouldnt want us to compare them

  • ANGUS !!!!

  • @parislanes Watch the expressions. I didn't offend you and accused of what. Has answered a question which has been put. It is pleasant to me Brian Johnson more, I love its voice, how he behaves on a scene. If you don't support me please, hold the mouth on the lock. Besides, I didn't offend Bon, I very much respect him, but from two my choice - Brian Johnson
