FirstnameLastname Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 For all us AC/DC fans, who's the better vocalist? Bon Scott or Brian Johnson? I have always preferred Johnson, how ever Bon Scott was still a awsome vocalist for the band's sound. RIP Bon Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User alonerankin2 Posted September 18, 2014 Super User Share Posted September 18, 2014 I saw Bon Scott in louisville in 78... Johnson in 82?... Both rocked out... My vote is for Bon... But Brian was great on Back in black... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstnameLastname Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 There was two distinct sounds with the two distinct guys. Bon had a older rock and roll sound that is the kind of stuff you sit back grab a drink and sing to. Johnson is the stuff you bang your head to. There's a reason Back in Black alone sold 80 million copies. When Johnson joined in 1980 there was a more intense, faster sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Choporoz Posted September 18, 2014 Super User Share Posted September 18, 2014 Bon Scott. But I grew up listening to him and grieved (and drank in his honor) the day he died. I've never given Johnson a proper comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User aavery2 Posted September 18, 2014 Super User Share Posted September 18, 2014 Tough one, they both have a great deal of success as the lead singer for the band, and an awful lot of great songs. I would probably go with Scott, just because I feel they tended to go just a little more main stream with Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User deaknh03 Posted September 21, 2014 Super User Share Posted September 21, 2014 I could care less but when I first saw the video for "you shook me all night long" I was 13 and I'm pretty sure it gave me carpal tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
