That doesn't matter because it's true. I've always kind of wondered what made people dislike Geddys voice and others fall in love with it. There never seems to be a middle ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Good. Better him than Michael Bolton in AC/DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I don't like his vocals at all. He sounds like a PINCHED CAT. So I went with "bad". You are my brother from another mother and you have taken my Music Of The Spheres Torch. I have been writing on here for over 11 years how much I absolutely can't stand Brian's shit vocals.He is a sweetheart of a man and a great guy!However replacing Bon Scott was simply ridiculous. I love a band called KROKUS. Marc Storace was going to get the job not Brian but Arista Records wouldn't let Marc out of his KROKUS deal. I met Marc and the band 10 years ago in Reno. My ex wife and I partied with them all night. Great guys. Marc told me right to my face that the story I just told you was true. I love that AXL is in the band. If you rockers have actually don't your homework you would learn that AC/DC is playing more Bon stuff with Axl. BJ SUX! Sorry! Signed, "Sink The Pink" "Fly On The Wall" is junk.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Always funny to see RUSH fans criticizing a vocalist. Geddy Lee blows Brian Johnson away and even Geddy's voice has been SHITE since Testicle For EGO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 anyone else think james labrie should be the new frontman for AC/DC? Labrie and AC/DC go together like cocaine and waffles. Brian is awesome. Rod! You are hilarious! While I don't agree with you at all about BJ, I love your "cocaine and waffles" comment. That will be the title of my new poem!

RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 HE fits the band.... Its not like he is in yes or someone like that HE fits that band like a hot dog being shot down a hallway. He fits like OJ Simpson's glove. He sucks in AC/DC. AXL is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredtamasrule Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 What we think of as "Brian Johnson" is no singer. He is merely a humonculous which the great spirit of Abaddon manipulates as if a marionette to lay waste to the youth of America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) It only sounds right in AC/DC Otherwise he sucks. Not a singer. Not in the least bit. Edited May 25, 2017 by Todem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 It only sounds right in AC/DC Otherwise he sucks. Not a singer. Not in the least bit. You might want to check out some of his earlier stuff with Geordie.....he was forced to sing in a higher register for AC/DC and that changed the character of his voice....I reckon he's a very good singer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcFSahf0KM8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 He's not a good singer technically but he's good at doing what the band needs. See also: Their drummer, their bassist, etc. Anybody not named Angus I guess haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I love the fact that when he was called to audition for AC/DC Geordie had already disbanded and he was working at a car repair shop. It reminded me of Neil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krokus and Nazareth, I spent so much time listening to both these bands back in the day.. Both these guys would've been amazing in AC/DC. Probably better than Johnson. IMO Brian Johnson gave AC/DC a much more generic sound compared to Bon Scott 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I don't get all the Brian Johnson bashing. He was good. And Bon Scott wasn't all that as a singer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteen Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I don't get all the Brian Johnson bashing. He was good. And Bon Scott wasn't all that as a singer.Yeah Bon wasn't exactly prime Ian Gillan or Freddie Mercury.However Bon was a huge part of AC/DC's early sound and success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
