AC/DC

The death of Bon Scott, one of the leading singers in the band really affected the group. In fact, most of the members considered quitting and performing solely. However, after a number of meetings, they decided to continue with the band. Several candidates such as Terry Slesser and Slade’s Noddy Holder were viewed as possible replacements for Scott. However, they both failed to meet the set qualifications and instead Johnson was selected. It is documented that AC/DC guitaris, Angus Young was actually a die-hard fan of Brian Johnson even before he was hired. Probably his believe and passion in his music was one of the factors that were considered in the hiring process.
