It’s not every day I get to sit and have a chat with the singer on the biggest selling rock album in music history. But Brian Johnson couldn’t have been more engaging as we covered a multitude of topics during a recent interview which is now available to read over at Metal Edge. The AC/DC singer discussed the conspiracy theories over the lyrics to Back in Black and rumors they were really written by Bon Scott, why his new memoir The Lives of Brian stops with his entry into the band and what his favorite track is by his predecessor.
What the article doesn’t touch on is a moment when I asked him about “Who Made Who,” the theme to the cult classic Maximum Overdrive film which came out in 1986. At one point Brian was singing the lyrics to the song and got stuck on a line. I chimed in and next thing you know we’re singing the chorus together.
