Brian Johnson joined AC/DC in 1980, shortly after Bon Scott’s passing. And the band moved quickly to get back in the studio, and then back on the road. The first concert Brian played with the band was in Namur, Belgium, June 29th 1980, just 4 months after joining. And now that city has erected a life-size statue of him to commemorate that historic moment in rock.
Here’s Brian talking about how awesome the statue is. (I think this is from his home in Sarasota which makes it even cooler imo.)
Of course you can hear Brian tell ME the same story when I got to interview him:
