14 Brian Johnson - How he became AC/DC's singer

[Info take from Hell Ain't No Bad Place To Be by Richard Bunton &

AC/DC management had been listening to auditions, when they
received a tape from an AC/DC fan from Chicago, Illinois. The tape
contained the Geordie lp "Hope You Like It", as the fan thought
that Brian's sound would be perfect for AC/DC. Management agreed,
Brian auditioned, and got the job.
Ironically, Bon Scott's pre-AC/DC band "Fraternity" had supported
Geordie on a 1973 European tour, and at that time Bon was very
impressed with the singing of Brian Johnson.
