When Geordie broke up, Brian Johnson went back to his business of customizing cars. Geordie already had made TV appearances, so not to be recognized by customers, he started wearing a hat. He continues to wear one till this day

[@kikofaria0051]

That is not true, where did you get that from?

[@toddgakk5783]

That's not true at all... he started wearing the hat with Geordie because sweat would get in his eyes... geordie became known as the band with the singer that wears the hat

He can sing, but at the same time I say that he was better as a singer when he was with Geordie: he seemed to be able to sing every kind of music. With AC/DC he has reduced his range and in the comparison with Bon Scott (as "the" singer of AC/DC), to me he comes out as the loser.

[@tonyparks9565]

never heard this before . cracking song.

[@JayTor2112]

When he starts singing high you can hear his early AC/DC vocals a bit. With AC/DC he just sang much louder, then he blew out his voice somewhere in the mid 80's had had to go falsetto from there. At least that's how it seems to my ears. You can clearly hear a full throated screaming voice on Back in Black and the next couple albums, but on Razor's Edge it sounds more like a falsetto trying to imitate how he used to sound.

[@Paolo8772]

Back in Black was also sung in falsetto, although he sung better on that album than in other AC/DC albums. Johnson naturally had a baritone voice and is probably bass now.

[@dupersuper6516]

Man y'all don't know what a falsetto is lmfao

[@chuckkourouklis1980]

Well, falsetto, not falsetto, point stands. There's a tiny bit of wear audible album by album from Back in Black thru For Those About To Rock to Flick Of The Switch. More drastic on Fly On The Wall, lots more on Blow Up Your Video, and then a pretty laryngitic gargle from Razor's Edge thru Stiff Upper lip (one kid new to Dacca heard Thunderstruck the first time and asked "who's the old lady singing" - OUCH). And what can anyone expect? That kind of thrashing isn't sustainable indefinitely - which made it all the more jaw-dropping and miraculous when Johnson returned with much of his edge and snarl back on Black Ice, sounding better than he had since 1988.
