One of SPIN'S Best Music Memoirs of 2022! Brian Johnson's memoir
from growing up in a small town to starting his own band to
ultimately replacing Bon Scott, the lead singer of one of the world
biggest rock acts, AC/DC. They would record their first album
together, the iconic Back in Black, which would become the biggest
selling rock album of all time. Brian Johnson was born to a
steelworker and WWII veteran father and an Italian mother, growing
up in New Castle Upon Tyne, England, a working-class town. He was
musically inclined and sang with the church choir. By the early
'70s he performed with the glam rock band Geordie, and they had a
couple hits, but it was tough going. So tough that by 1976, they
disbanded and Brian turned to a blue-collar life. Then 1980 changed
everything. Bon Scott, the lead singer and lyricist of the
Australian rock band AC/DC died at 33. The band auditioned singers,
among them Johnson, whom Scott himself had seen perform and raved
about. Within days, Johnson was in a studio with the band, working
with founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, and
Phil Rudd, along with producer Mutt Lange. When the album, Back in
Black, was released in July--a mere three months after Johnson had
joined the band--it exploded, going on to sell 50 million copies
worldwide, and triggering a years-long worldwide tour. It has been
declared "the biggest selling hard rock album ever made" and "the
best-selling heavy-metal album in history." The band toured the
world for a full year to support the album, changing the face of
rock music--and Brian Johnson's life--forever.
