Well ...It's Brian Johnson of vocals, but the band backing him on that YouTube link sound more like these Anarcho Generation Terrorists!

Read his autobiography The Lives of Brian not long ago. Genuinely funny book, AC DC don't feature until the last quarter. When Brian tells his Mum and Dad he's joined the Aussie megastars, they look at him non plussed as they have barely heard of the Beatles. 'Will you get a proper job after that?'

My heart soars reading these posts - love a bit of Geordie, and All Because of You would get any right thinking person up and dancing
I'll keep an eye out for Brian's biography
This tune is pretty good too...

Much prefer his vocals with Geordie to the screeching Bon Scott bad impression he did with AC/DC.

It's a lot better than it deserves to be!

This song was bothering me, but the penny finally dropped that it is a reworking of their song 'Get Rocked!'

HECTOR - YOUNG, LOUD & SNOTTY My Local, The Royal Oak was packed out for this rather special gig last night. Original HECTOR front man Phil Brown, with a gang of my local buddies, playing a Short 'n' Sweet set (7 songs) of their two classic JunkShop Glam singles (A's & B-sides) plus some songs that were rescued from old demos. GREAT to hear 'Gypsy' played live for the first time! The chaps & chapesses all really nailed it too, and i think Phil enjoyed himself ALOT! WHAM BAM... THANK YOU, GLAM!!

Robin Wills recently put this up on his Purepop site. You probably all know that already? If not, here it is
There are two versions of the same song, Boadicea. First, the obscure one under the name Khristian Young, then the 'official' version by Barry Rolfe. The first one rocks hard! The last song, Sayonara, is the b-side of the Khristian Young version.
