BRIAN JOHNSON joins the group, ACDC
Brian Johnson Joins the Group

Determined to continue on without Bon Scott, ACDC set out looking for a new front man. Brian Johnson was suggested as a replacement. Normally not an easy task - replacing an original group member especially one that was idolized by fans all over the world as was Bon Scott. As it turned out Brian Johnson fit in with the ACDC line up perfectly and was accepted from the beginning by the group's multitude of rabid fans.
In 1980 as Johnson's rock group "Geordie" signed a new record contract ACDC asked him if he would be interested in trying out for the vacant lead vocalist position in the group. Johnson easily passed the audition and was welcomed into the group.
The Brian Johnson years began with the 1980's album release of Back in Black - the single, a tribute to the late Bon Scott and a huge hit record for ACDC. The album is an all time rock best seller and kicked off ACDC as a world renowned super group. Johnson's powerful yet raspy voice proved to be the perfect addition for the group's high energy, pounding rock style, as the band continued to turn out best-selling albums and perform to sold out audiences around the world. Now an ACDC veteran member, Johnson remains one of rock's most instantly recognizable voices.
