@@TheCrabCoreKingthis isn't standard bro. It's half a step down. He is 75 after all. I think give him some time to prepare and he will be better. Like batman. Just needs prep time.
What amazes me is that Brian's singing voice in AC/DC is the polar opposite of his singing voice when he was in Geordie. If I listened to a Geordie song I would never have guessed it was Brian singing. Hats off to you Brian, you are a legend.
I feel privileged to have wotnessed this live, what a shock to see brain johnson come in stage with the lads, unbelievable performance from all, it was f****** EPIC!
For me that's an incredible sight. A friend of mines dad went to school with Brian and he wrote a lovely handwritten letter about his Dad. A proper legend
So at 54 years old absolutely love Sam and his band but totally lost it when Brian appeared my poor son was ready for getting the paramedics 🤣 it was insane the whole gig I will never forget and big shout out to Sam's guitar teacher
I'm so angry couldn't get tickets for Newcastle went to Belfast in the pissing rain. Absolutely amazing getting Brian to play with you. Absolute class!!!
In all fairness to Jonna these guest singing is the killer..he's not in the zone for live stuff nor is he warmed up..with ACDC and on a schedule and regular routine he is much better. But the poor guy is 75 or so..God love this man ,what a fucking legend..🍺🍺🤘
@@chrisp.162 it's not bro. Play a guitar in standard against this version. Then tune it a half step down. I did it myself. I take it you're not a musician, let alone play a guitar. You can tell it's half a step just by listening 😂.
I'm a bit nervous about that. They were still amazing and energetic on their last tour in 2016. Will Angus and Brian be able to have that energy now? Angus is getting close to 70.
When Brian Johnson said "dream come true." He wasnt lying. Newcastle counsel knocked it on the head when he tried to play with Geordie in the 70s. And he tried for years to get St James Park to have AC/DC at the ground. So for him to finally make it to St James Park after half a century of trying is some story for him.
By the way, back in black has always been a serious challenge for Brian since mid 90x and today he definitely cannot sign it properly (come on, the man is 75, what do you expect?), but it is clear that he started without warming up his throat, otherwise it would be better. The second one sounds much better, and the longer he sings the better it gets. So it was not quite fair from Sam to bring the old dude on stage without warm up)
I definitely agree. A few exercises and I think he should be good for some more shows. But hearing people complain about him not sounding like he did in the 80s always baffles me. Like you said, a lot of songs off the back in black album were a challenge since even the early 90s. But he’s definitely continued sounding great and distinctive
@@lucasbrown4186 Yes, and again - under-volumed mic. That is really terrible, even if his voice is definitely aging, cracking and not like before, it is at least not that quiet as we heard!
It'd be extremely hard to sing anything from AC/DC, let alone in your mid 70s. Most of this is probably age related, and I think it's still pretty decent given how hard it is to sing Back In Black, and also Brian's age
@@tksk197033 Exactly lol...What's even more amazing is he has a low robust speaking voice! Not like Jon Anderson from Yes who has quite a high speaking voice, so his high notes are natural for him.
I mean the band could have helped him out by playing in the key AC/DC play nowadays. AC/DC tunes down a half step these days. These were in the same key the songs were on the record.
Give Brian some slack, way better than Bon and he's still belting it out in his 70's. Can't wait for the dvd stream whatever of this gig. Long may music from geordieland reign.
