I thought this article was really touching...I'd love to meet Brian and hear what else he has to say. Seems to be full of wisdom...his great success, and that of the band also, is in part to do with the fact that they are so down-to-earth and totally unaffected by the wealth and fame of their success...

How long do you think it took for Bon Scott fans to accept you?
I'm sure there were a lot of people who thought it wouldn't work, the boys were fantastic. I remember that first gig in Belgium, they just said, 'Brian just go out there,' they could see I was as nervous as anything. We walk out on stage and there was a sea of placards saying Bon Scott R.I.P. but right in the middle of it was a big sign saying, 'Good Luck Brian,' and that touched me, it still does when I think about it. Basically that was it, it just took off from there. I sang the songs and slowly but surely during that first tour, 'Back in Black' became more popular and the cheers became louder and louder for those songs. It's been an exciting ride ever since. I'm proud to be a part of AC/DC and they're still going and have fans all over the world.

just about sums up why i love brian sooooooooo much. there are so many bands where the lead singer is completely stuck up their own arse & that is such a turn off. thank god for brian! just wanna squeeze him basically
