Bon Scott songs performed capably/better by Brian Johnson?

Guest

What Bon Scott-era songs do you think are performed just as good, if not better, by Brian Johnson?

I have a few:

-Sin City
-Jailbreak
-Up To My Neck In You
-The Jack (wow, is he ever awesome on this track)

IMO,

The short answer is...

none!

I prefer Bon Scott era AC/DC over Brian Johnson era by light years!

It is like asking if you prefer Bush versions over belladonna
or
Roger Waters over Freddy Mercury

I like Brian better as well, i like ac/dc's music better with Bon but never really got his talk like vocals

As AC/DC are my favourite group, gods really, I worship both lineups equally. But, I still think there are some Bon songs that Brian is better at. That's not to say that Bon wasn't, because he ruled on all of his songs. But, Brian had/has that bluesier tone that works so well on certain songs.

None - they were Bon's songs and he was awesome! If it was vice versa, I'm sure I feel bon wasn't as good as brian on his songs

I admire your dumb guts but ask how long have you had cotton wool in your ears?

personally Bon-era and Brian-era are like two diffrent bands to me. brian can perform Bon's stuff very well although it just dosent live up to the original as far as im concerned.

Now what I'd really like to hear is bon performing brian-era tracks

I can say this much.

I recently received some songs from the Australian releases of early AC/DC albums. Put all those tracks together on one CD and it blows away anything with Brian Johnson after Back In Black IMO.

I wonder if there's any Back in Black demos with Bon on it (there was the rumour of the title track, but it was false). Bon was folling around on the drums in the studio when Mal and Ang were dishing out the riffs. Bon was playing. I'd love to hear Bon sing "Givin' The Dog A Bone". It could've been the follow-up to "Whole Lotta Rosie". Though, I don't know that she would've been satisfied with a mere bone.

I prefer the Bon Scott era, but I have seen AC/DC live with Brian 2 or 3 times and I've enjoyed his take on the classics well enough.

I love both eras, and have seen AC/DC twice with Brian over the years, but nowadays when I'm in the mood to hear AC/DC, I tend to reach for DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP, POWERAGE, or LET THERE BE ROCK over any of the Brian Johnson era albums.

AC/DC is unique in that they melded with their new singer so perfectly that you can tell a slight change happened with Back in Black sonically, but it worked so well.

Well Ang & Mal have confirmed there is a track of Bon drumming for early versions of "Have A Drink On Me" but have said the day he died he was supposed to do his first vocal tracks but again theres so much mystery wrapped around this thinkg who knows right? (again heres to hoping)

I am an AC/DC slave I love both Brian and Bon, but overall, I do have a preference for Brian era.
