Interview: Brian Johnson AC/DC

The AC/DC legend talks to Leona Graham. See the full interview here.

[@tgooose]

This is a guy that I would love to have a beer with.

[@lisascarrott6142]

Me too that would be amazing experience

[@LUKAS_956]

10 beers !

[@stu3306]

My grandad used to drink with him regularly . He used to work in the federation brewery in Gateshead and Brian Johnson would pop into the local where my grandad would drink

[@gemmareid5821]

@@stu3306 Can you please tell me where he is from

[@fenderstratADHD]

I’m a guitarist and the drum teacher of where I’m taking lessons was invited to a party at Brian’s house (this was right before he had to leave AC/DC) and met him and he said he was extremely nice and gracious. Would give anything to meet this man!

[@Filmaker25]

People always, always miss the point... He is the epitome of the Cinderella story. This guy joined AC/DC at 32, hardly the time when you expect to start a successfull music career, and he was flat broke . Just shows it ain't over until it's over.

[@Author_Alyssa_Taylor]

Filmaker25 - We all need to drum that into our heads! Me included.

[@jasonmurdoc9533]

He was living with his parents!!

[@sdrewe99]

32 ain't that old mate.

[@drexlspivey5828]

People are programmed to a ridiculous way of thinking that if you haven't succeeded in 'the arts' by 29 your chance is done I know Bros aren't exactly the hight of musical credibility, but it's as simple as this, the two guys who wrote their songs were in their 40's and made a mint off the back of it

She is a really good interviewer - Asks sensible questions then listens and has a good voice.

[@BryanDavidScott]

I am honored to call Brian Johnson a friend. He is amazing. He is a lyricist, post, musician, awesome fucking mate.

[@murf1mikejr]

Brian's accent is fucking awesome. I love the Geordie accent.

[@michaelkeymont501]

Indeed! I actually came to watch this video to hear an example of a Geordie accent, after looking up what "Geordie" meant in the Mark Knopfler tune Sailing to Philadelphia.

[@halarefaie8675]

Michael Murphy I like it but I don’t understand a word he’s saying

[@realRainz]

Non pretentious real British accent indeed. The rest are British wonkers

[@rockersn_rollers8460]

soren schjodt you’re a piece of shit

[@catsven1973]

I feel right the only accents I can distinguish are the British and the american, a bit Australian so I can focus on ideas rather than the accent.

[@laurenchapin6926]

I could listen to Brian talk all day. He seems like such a sweet guy. I love that expression “Me Darlin’ “. 😊🖤

[@JamesvanHest]

The thing I love about Brian is that he makes me feel like I've been friends with him for years, even though I haven't met him. I feel like I'm having a conversation with him when I watch stuff like this even though I've never been able to say anything to him. He always puts a smile on my face and makes me happy, ever since I first got into AC/DC before I could walk. thank you Brian. You've inspired me as a 17 year old to pick up my guitar, microphone, drums and bass and give it my best shot to make more rock n roll in the world.

[@HansDelbruck53]

No idea who Leona Graham is, but Brian Johnson is not only a Rock legend but a force of nature.

[@pamandrobtrust7624]

Brian did good, stayed sane and never lost His roots along the way with the band. Top man and I would love to have a pint with Him. A true British Legend.

[@advanafire]

By the way they're Australian :P

[@Antarath]

Yep, a true Geordie.

[@mrrostien]

Rob Trust he come from a very poor background didn't he? Northern England in them days I read were very poor and hard going.

[@haveanicelife_]

Brian sounds so chill when he talks

[@anemoia2661]

Did anyone notice something about Brian in this interview? The guy is worth millions upon millions of dollars, he's got one of the most bad ass resumes in history, he fronts (or fronted) the biggest and best hard rock band of all time, yet he just comes across as the most down to earth, average Joe kinda guy... even when he talks about buying a bloody Rolls Royce, he just sounds so normal! I don't think this guy could show off and be full of himself even if he wanted to, humble by nature, Brian is such a great guy!! We love ya Beano!!

[@escaton74]

that's what makes AC/DC so successful.. it's stuff for the regular people who don't know how to properly show off

[@HRM.H]

Thats because hes a lad that didnt grew up with fame.

[@jeffallinson8089]

I couldn't have put it better myself.

NO SORRY....i didnt notice that brian is the most down to earth star.....with no egos or lack of personality......ill have to watch it again...in case im deaf or blind.......lol

Maybe that's why they knew instinctively at first audition, he's [like the rest of us] just a regular down to Earth guy - we've got a *match* .

It is the mark of a great man that refuses to let fame & fortune go to his head and change him. To quote Abraham Lincoln “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power”. Hats off to you Brian.

[@chasemeadows6176]

it feels weird to not hear him screaming

[@sevi9]

never knew he actually had a thick voice

[@Adrian-dl9nb]

You should probably listen to the begginings of Boogie Man, Rocking All the Way and Decibel, if you feel like it, of course. Those have low vocals

[@PetAnimalCareReptilesandmore]

Yeah lol.

Congratulations to both for making it so natural, although in Brian’s case that seems to be his default setting. Nice guy.
