Brian Johnson – Rockers and Rollers: A Full-Throttle Memoir
It!
www.acdc.com

Rating B:

Brian Johnson is best known as the voice on AC/DC’s mega albums including Back in Black, For Those About To Rock…We Salute You and The Razors Edge. He did the unthinkable in replacing fallen vocalist Bon Scott. As the voice of the band he has always paid homage to Bon and still plays many of his classics to this day. A hard rock icon, Johnson is not a guy to get goose bumpy when meeting other rock n’ roller royalty as they simply are not what makes him tick. Let him meet a legend in the auto industry, however, and he will be as tongue tied as child standing before Mickey Mouse at Disneyland.

In his new book, Rockers and Rollers: A Full-Throttle Memoir, Johnson takes the reader on a ride through his car collection, one short chapter at a time. It’s not all wheels and engines though as Brian is known as a great storyteller with a good sense of humor and this book is full of both. In-between car stories, he is able to describe highlights of his life, from pulling down his pants and learning to wank with a group of his friends to auditioning for AC/DC.

It is awesome to read the words of a man who has it all yet remains a guy that would love to belly up to the bar with you and trade tales over a pint. This one is for car nuts for sure, but fans of AC/DC will enjoy his wit and wisdom that he has acquired over the years, along with his many automobiles.

This is an easy read from one of rock’s easiest going guys. Put the petal to the metal and give this one a chance.  BUY THE BOOK HERE
