AC/DC‘s Angus Young has discussed what the band’s original frontman Bon Scott thought of Brian Johnson, the man who would go on to replace him on lead vocals.
Scott took over from short-lived founding singer Dave Evans in 1974, and performed with AC/DC until his death from acute alcohol poisoning in February 1980.
Johnson became the band’s next singer following a successful audition. Aside from a brief stint in which he was replaced by Guns N’ Roses‘ Axl Rose, he has remained their frontman ever since.
