Tough vocal ACDC

A good 7 years before AC/DC, Brian Johnson was the singer in a hard rock band from up north called Geordie. I think his voice was better in Geordie than it was in AC/DC.
It's funny, though I really dig the "Back in black" album and it was my intro to the band, I went backwards with them and the Bon Scott era is unparalleled in my mind. He was one of heavy rock's finest vocalists and a fantastic lyricist, underrated depth where he needed it {"Ride on", "Squealer", "If you want blood"}, tremendous storytelling ability in two or three short verses and just about the best humour of anyone out there, consistently. I still crack up at many of his lyrics {"She's got the lips to make a strong man weak/and a heathen pray" from "Go down"}, probably my fave of his being "Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire", though there's lots to choose from....
 
Lord, based on the feedback I saw in this thread, I assumed that your cover must have been rather pathetic. But after listening, I thought you pretty much nailed Brian Johnson's tone and style. That's a very difficult objective, and I'm surprised you haven't received more positive feedback. It's a major accomplishment. It seems like a lot of the contributors to this thread don't dig AC/DC, and that's surprising to me. I would kill to be able to vocalize like that.

Thanx a lot for your words, Rexinator. It´s really a hard vocal to pull of. I dont know how many times I sang and rejected it. More than 20 times, roughly.

I´ve posted here in this forum because I´m aware that you people are really technical and knows a lot about a lot of things. I mean, one good remark for me here, it means a lot. :thumbs up:

It's a hard school and only the tough survive.
