Brian is seriously the nicest person in rock music. A total gent

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

Agreed! Hero

[@luciensanchez6451]

I could listen to Brian's stories all day. Such a great interview. RIP Bon and Mal. Never forgotten🤘

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

🙌🏼❤️

[@rorymcloughlin2023]

Don't want to take away from 1. His musical talent or 2. His knowledge of cars but I would listen to Brian talk about crayons all day long, perhaps that should be "All night long" 😀. He always comes across as a really nice guy.

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

Haha he is a great bloke!

[@porscha901]

I can do that plus .talk about how many car clubs im in

[@rorymcloughlin2023]

Great dude🤟

[@mrjw6701]

I’m a life long AC/DC fan. Brian is a great guy, still so down to earth after all the success he’s had singing for greatest hard rock band of all time. Great interview with a great man.

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

Thanks! Glad Brian is getting the appreciation he deserves 🥰

[@samsabruskongen]

These old skool rockers are so down to earth and nice people.

[@UserUli]

In the 70s they were all arrogant and acted like divas and so. AC/DC were the first to be down to earth. When Malcolm met with the producer of "Razors Edge" he said after that: "he is a good guy no rock star shit". When they were on tour with kiss, the security refused to let them into the halls because they had no limos.

[@toddmichaelis7592]

It’s hard for me to believe that Brian Johnson took over for Bon Scott in 1980 on Back In Black and I was 14. Now all these years later at 55 I still listen to Back In Black. And to hear Brian talk about his history of where he came from and how things started it’s awesome.

[@simono.sniper3214]

Jodie, you are truly one of the most gifted and engaging presenters out there. What a great bloke Brian is.

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

[@neilsnow7644]

I love this. Brian is awesome. My all time favorite band. My mom actually got me tickets when I graduated high school. Best concert ever. I had always wanted to see them and had every album and knew every lyric and guitar sound. I was super sad when Mal died. Angus is why I learned guitar. I would give ANYTHING to meet these guys just once. People say never meet your heroes but I think they are wrong. Love AC/DC forever!

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

He’s great! Glad you feel the same way xx

[@davesimpson7416]

Seen more of Brian on car shows, than his music. Love to listen him talk about anything and his love of unusual cars.

[@rangerwhite5165]

Seems such a lovely, down to earth guy. Back in Black. What can you say? Probably the greatest rock album of all time. Still playing it to death on my gym playlist. I remember buying it as a 12 year old on vinyl. "I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain I'm comin' on like a hurricane" You certainly did Brian.

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

Brian was born and brought up a mile away from me. Met him in his Geordie days as a young lad and he is exactly the same in real life as he seems on here. Very friendly lad and nice to see he’s never changed. Great interview Jodie 👏👏x

[@paulnewsom7629]

Always Down To Earth Brian I Was Lucky Enough to Meet Him In 96 After Years Of Going To See ACDC And I Was Shocked He Stood 3 Feet Away Talking To Small Crowd of People Signing Autographs I Said Hello He Had No Attitude Hes Like Meeting Your Close Friend or Typical Guy on Your Block I Could Not Believe So Down To Earth No Ego At All He has Never Forgotten Were He Came From Oh How I Miss Not Getting To See Them Anymore But I Know We Always Will Have The Memories Hes More Than Earned All He Has One Incredible Guy

I've been watching every interview I can of Brian lately and this is a great one! How I love him! Down to earth, humble, brilliant and talented and never forgot his Newcastle roots. What a story teller! Loved Jodie interviewing him. He's so warm and sweet.

[@jameshutchins3396]

He is quite possibly the only rocker I have ever thought I would like to meet and hang out with. These videos are just absolutely wonderful. The people, the cars and the places. I never know what to expect and I am always delighted. Can't wait for the next one

Tears of joy and laughter to see these friends talk about the two things I love ...cars and music 😃

[@RustyBonnet]

I think Clarkson once introduced Brian as the Best person you've never heard of, and you see that he is so down to earth you understand that even though he's in one of the worlds largest rock bands. In todays world where Brand is the key, i think Brian has its right. Brilliant interview Jodie, well, more of a chat with a mate which makes this fantastic to watch.

Great interview. Brian is a class act of a human being!

[@el_bronco77]

I met Brian Johnson in Greensboro, NC, right before the very first show for the Ballbreaker tour. It was my very first AC/DC concert. He sat at the hotel bar and talked to me and a few other fans for like 15 minutes about football and other topics. He even waited for me to run back up to my hotel room to get my poster for him to sign. I got a picture with him and he planted a big kiss on my cheek. I can't stress enough how down to earth and nice he was. Truly a rock legend and just an awesome man.

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

Amazing!!! Great guy x

[@journeyintothebible]

I love listening to Brian, he has never lost that great accent of his and he is so very very down to earth and he represents the kind of people that I would love to hang out with. As for you Jodie , you are an amazing gal and again you are one of those girls that reminds me of my younger years in the 80's when I used to hangout with a mixed gang of males & females and we all mucked in with the good and bad. Thank you for the upload.

[@johnforeman634]

I’ve heard it many times, however I NEVER get tired of it. It’s one of the greatest stories ever! How Brian became the singer of AC/DC!! When I was a kid this band was so important to me. When Bon died I was absolutely devastated. So, when Back in Black came out, me and my buddies put it on the turntable and waited! Hells bells had such a long lead up and we couldn’t wait to hear the voice of this new guy. Well, we were happy and relieved! We approved.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Brian never forget where he came from. He had a fair share of fame i “Geordie” in the early 70’s with a couple of hits, and just went back to be the “average bloke down the street” when the Geordie fame sizzled out. And then the telephone call came, “would it be possible to come to London and do a radio add for a hoover” which was the call from AC ⚡️DC and the rest is history. But Brian still never forget where he came from despite all that fame and fortune. Just a bloke
