AXS TV Acquires Series by AC/DC Frontman Brian Johnson variety.com/2019/music/news/ac-dc-singer-brian-johnson-talk-show-a-life-on-the-road-axs-tv-1203262810/?fbclid=IwAR2cpJB9mjThZ2CDiLc--BbSWe7S-ft-9ksNrNP5t1_sdDiGEu97k7ec3_cBrian Johnson and Sting CREDIT: Courtesy Eagle Rock Entertainment/AXSTV AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson is bringing his rock-themed talk show to the U.S. “Brian Johnson: A Life On The Road,” which aired in the U.K. on Sky Arts, will premiere Sept. 15 on AXS TV, following new music series “Paul Shaffer Plus One,” hosted by the musician and television personality. AXS acquired two seasons of “A Life On The Road” from Eagle Rock Entertainment, totaling 12 episodes in which Johnson talks shop with musician “friends and heroes.” Said Johnson in making the announcement: “Filming ‘On The Road’ was ridiculous fun, and with no professional journalists around, you can feel the trust.” Kicking off the series is Sting, whom Johnson visits in New York. The two venture towards downtown Manhattan to the former location of punk club CBGB, where The Police played their first U.S. gig. Stunned by the gentrification of the area, Sting recalls CB’s being “kind of a spooky place… it was so full of history.” Watch a clip from the episode below. Other artists to sit and chat with Johnson this season include Robert Plant (Sept. 22); The Who’s Roger Daltrey (Sept. 29); Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott (Oct. 6); Metallica’s Lars Ulrich (Oct. 13); and Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason(Oct. 20). Scheduled to appear in season two are Billy Joel (Oct. 27); Joe Walsh (Nov. 3); Dolly Parton (Nov. 10); Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfler (Nov. 17); Paul Rodgers (Nov. 24); and Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood (Dec. 1). Said Lucia McCalmont, the network’s vice president of programming and scheduling: “AXS TV strives to provide our classic rock audience with the absolute best music programming on the market today, and we are proud to continue that strong tradition with the addition of ‘Brian Johnson: A Life On The Road.’ For the first time ever, North American audiences will be able to experience these unforgettable episodes in their entirety, as rock’s greatest artists guide viewers on a tour of the locations that helped shape their legacies, and share the stories of their incredible careers in their own words. True music connoisseurs won’t want to miss this incredible event.”

Happy 65th Birthday to Mr. Angus fucking Young. The most exciting rock 'n Roll guitarist IMHO.

I've seen AC/DC a couple of times. The first time in London with Bon Scott in 1979. A very young Def Leppard were the support band. It was a few months before the Leps debut album, all they had out was one EP. Brian does a terrific job on the vocals, but I'm very much a Bon Scott man. All my favorite albums are from the Bon era. I remember when he died, I thought Dan McCafferty would be the perfect choice to take over. But I'm not aware he was ever offered the job.

Even as a teenager when I started going to gigs in the late 70s, I always made a point of trying to keep hold of the ticket afterwards. And it used to annoy me when they sometimes got ripped in half on entry to the gig. I was able to keep most of them, but more "disappeared" over the years. I found the other AC/DC ticket from the other time I saw them. Again in London. Attachments:

Luckily most of mine have survived the rippers.

There's a radio simulcast from, I believe, Boston '78, when they were opening for Aerosmith. It opens with an brief interview segment with Bon, and the interviewer introduces him as Bon Tyler.
