Angus Young, Brian Johnson, AC/DC interview, Part 1

This is raw tape of an interview conducted by young Army Specialist Floyd Vasquez, AFN Europe, with Angus Young and Brian Johnson of AC/DC. It was the day before the 1984 Monsters of Rock at Castle Donington featuring AC/DC, Van Halen, Ozzy Osborne, Gary Moore, Accept and then breaking Motley Crue. The setting was a stone hotel in Burton on Trent. The next day Brian recognized me backstage and brought me a glass of wine. Moments later Ozzy came over to say hello to Brian and the 3 of us talked for a minute or two. Interviewed Nikki Sixx and had an opportunity to say hello to Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth. Nice to be a representative of U.S. service members! And thank you Ossy Hoppe.
This experience is among my fondest memories. Great to be able to relive it after all of these years. Me as William Shatner at the beginning. I hadn't seen this video since leaving AFN. Long live AC/DC!

Thanks for posting this,I’m a big fan of AC/DC especially Brian Johnson I love his laugh and his accent ❤❤❤❤

[@DEXTERSONEMANBAND]

They never ever said not even one bad word about the other bands!!! Even though the others bands mentioned in this conversation weren’t friendly towards them. That’s the thing to admire!!!

[@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98]

I don’t think they hardly ever cuss aside from the H word. I mean like occasionally but not like hard-core.

[@drm2566]

Why do we AD/DC australian, both Angus and Malcolm grew up in Australia. Their formative years were spent here until they were adults.

[@SuV33358]

@David Diaz Brians accent sounds like Irish to me

[@EMINEM4973]

Because they where born in Scotland, and left in their early teens.

[@gdaym8635]

The Dark Knight early teens my ass! More like young kids.

[@EMINEM4973]

@@gdaym8635 Check wikipedia. Angus Young was a mad Glasgow Rangers fan originally from Cranhill. They left Scotland due to the 'big Freeze'.

[@sickoftheleftwingscum]

We claim them as ours as they were born in Great Britain but then we did send most of you to Australia so anything good we will claim for ourselves ! 😂😂👍 🇦🇺

[@junkmonkey9859]

A bunch of blokes that lived to create and make rock and roll. Who also wanted to share it with an audience that loved to experience Rick and roll. And those without agenda, came together, to create and appreciate. And I followed from the start. Being from the Clan McNabb, these lads are kin to me. And also being an outlaw, I fit with the convicts .. How could I not love 'em! Oi! Oi! Oi! God love the Young brothers, Bon. Brian and the rest.

Why do people call AC/DC Australian when most of them are Scottish and English so they are a British band cause most of them are from Britain? Confusing.

[@GroovyStrawberry]

BECAUSE most of them grew up in Australia, and the band was formed in Australia, therefore, AC/DC is an Australian band!
