There touring days are over its been over 2 years since power up there's 2 members in that band over 70 & I don't think Brian's voice or hearing would withstand it anymore & I don't think putting to the test at 75 would be a very good idea it could end up worse than last time

I am here to tell you, Brian is one of the most genuine and nice guys you can imagine. My wife was on a shuttle bus @ the Queen Mary exhibit with him and she said he seemed to be totally approachable and talking to everyone; not about himself, just talking about everyone's day. She didn't want to bother him, but she was certain if she asked he would have signed an autograph, taken a picture, and probably would have drove back home with her so I could meet him and jam! lol I am looking forward to reading his book.

@@captaincrunch5878 you're so full of it. Go troll somewhere else. What could Brian or the band possibly gain from excluding Bon from the album as songwriter? Would that not have boosted Back in Black sales even more? I'm sorry but a chorus or song title does NOT make that person the sole writer. Angus and ESPECIALLY Malcolm would have made it very known that Bon wrote those songs. Get outa here with that stupid nonsense. What happened...did the band refuse to play your birthday party as a kid? You feel the need to run your mouth about something that's been proven time and time again to be untrue. I'm sorry if I take the WHOLE bands word over yours.

Brian Johnson is one of the reasons I found for going on with life on many occasions throughout my life. I have Cystic Fibrosis, and when I was younger I found AC/DC. That discovery led me to become a guitarist. That put me on the trajectory that has brought many beautiful things into my life. I was recently diagnosed with profound hearing loss. Hopefully whatever Brian is using to help his hearing will become available to people like myself soon.

I'm glad I can say I've seen AC/DC live many times & feel lucky to have had the pleasure of seeing Brian do what he does best. I thoroughly recommend this book.

I’m so glad he didn’t end it all, he’s truly an icon. I wonder how he heard about Stephen Ambrose? I heard somebody tell me that and I’m not sure if this is true so please don’t anybody disrespect me, anyway somebody told me that they are a close source to the band tell me that a fan from Ohio ironically where I live in Ohio not sure what city I’m just stating I’m in Ohio also ? Originally an South Carolina girl? Due to an unfortunate house fire we live up here in one of my aunts rental houses. Anyway I heard somebody from Ohio sent him a letter telling him about the technology from Asius or however it’s spelled i’m not sure if that’s true but however he heard about it I am happy that he did. And I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. Because I really would like to read it.I grew up listening to these guys. Without them life would have been very boring. Does anyone know this info? I am curious myself.I actually just got my copy in the mail yesterday. I’m so excited it’s so far something I can’t put down. And I don’t read much.

It's a shame we will probably never see another live show from AC/DC , I've been lucky enough to have seen them in their prime and haven't missed a show of theirs that's come my way since 1988, it's fantastic that Brian is doing well now with his hearing and his overall health seems great, unfortunately that is not the case with other members of the band Phill Rudd has fell on bad health issues as has Cliff Williams, as much as people would like to see them tour again I think it's time for them to call it a career, when they went on the Rock or Bust tour it definitely was a bust, I was not happy with the way the band sounded, love them and they will always be my favorite band but sometimes you have to know when to say when, I don't want them out there looking and sounding like Motley Crue..

A little bit of a disingenuous, perhaps lazy, reporting that they do not mention that it was Bon Scott's parents who encouraged the band to keep going after he died, because they considered ending it then.

I've never had the chance to see them live so here's hoping for one last blow out tour, with a stop in Cleveland, OH of course ;-)

Colin Hay of "Men at Work" would be a perfect front man for ACDC reason being he is Bon Scott of ACDC! Not to take anything away from Brian Johnson and Axel Rose!. ACDC fans are in for a shock! Bon Scott is alive and well. He is Colin Hay of "Men at Work" Because is it coincidental that they are both Aussies with Ancestral Roots to Scottland??? " The reason why he wanted out! The long time away on tour from his family and the demands of being on the road was more than he could take! He wanted to make music on his own terms and likewise to go on tour at his own conveinience! The song "Back in Black" was his resignation to move away from the spotlight! The lyrics were his signature resignation and the clue to how he would depart from the Band! "Back in black I hit the Sack! (Bon Scott was referring to how he would be supposedly found dead whlile he was asleep! and leaving the Spotlight by slowly fading to the darkness of returning back to a life of normacy away from the bright lights! "I have got nine lives! (He is referring to how he survived many dangerous events a Bike accident, alcoholisn and how he was going to reinvent himself!) "I have got "Cats eyes" (This is a important clue that he has successfully changed his identity! And the only way you would ever know its him if you ever saw him again is He had this rare "eye condition" that looked like how a Cat looks around because they would operarate independently of each other and moving in different directions! Now some people may say wait a minute they have different Birth dates! This is a common practice when hiding ones true identity together with a change of hairstyles! But I think he still played a active role in the Band with ACDC as a "Ghost Writer" because every song that ACDC sang after Bon Scotts supposed death sounded like he still had his "trait mark signature" on all of ACDC's songs! So its up to Colin Hay of "Men at Work" if he wants to come out "the darkness" of "Back in Black" and back into the Spotlight" again to say to his loyal fans and say to them! "Hey MTF's guess whose back from a "Back in Black" hyatus! And is there any photos of Bon Scott in a Coffin in a funeral service?? And how many photos does Colin Hay have of himself in his earlier years with him and his family??? The same goes for Morgan Freeman who is actually "Jimi Hendrix" and "Lady Gaga" who is actually "Amy Winehouse! And is it coincidental that all three just happen to burst on the Social Scene shortly after the supposed passing of these legendary "Musical Icons????? Can you imagine if all three decided to tour together. And their Band name would be called "Grievance Clean Detox Revival??? Sincerely, Patrick S.N. Iriarte "Nostradamus of the Mariana

Brian is a great guy but lies about who wrote the Back in Black album type in Bon Scott You Shook Me All Night Long on here and you can hear him live on HTH tour (probably one of the last gigs) he says new one right here and it’s definitely his voice and AC/DC playing the song just like Pete Way of UFO said he was celebrating with Bon before he died the finishing of the writing of his best album yet that’s why the greatest rock album of all time was out in two months after Brian joined it would be impossible for someone who never wrote a hit to write that album in that little amount of time.
