|
Brian Johnson was born on October 5, 1947 in Newcastle Upon Tyne (Northumberland), England.
In February 1972 he joined the Newcastle band USA who changed their name to the far more appropriate Geordie a few months later. Sadly, none of their albums managed to persuade anyone to take the band seriously in the long-term. Shortly after the release of 'Save The World' in 1976, Geordie called it quits.
Brian actually gave up all hopes of making it in the music business at this point. But by the beginning of 1980, he started to think about having another crack at the entertainment world. He persuaded his former colleagues to reform Geordie. When AC/DC approached Brian, Geordie had just signed a deal with Red Bus Records in London, initially for a single. Geordie elected to carry on when Brian left, recruiting one Terry Schlesher as his replacement.
