"I'm always going to remember my little audition for AC/DC in 1980. They had called for singers to do a couple of songs. The smallest guy there stood up and came over to me. He pulled out a bottle of 'Brown Ale' from Newcastle, because that's where I'm from, and said, 'Here you go, mate, make yourself at home.' It was Malcolm Young."I'm going to sing a couple of songs and then I've got to go home." At least I could tell my friends that I had sung with AC/DC.A month later, Malcolm's voice on the phone said, "Do you want to come?".And I said, "What for?"And he said, "Look, we have to make a record."And I was like, "Does this mean I'm in the band?"And he said, "Of course"When I joined the band and went to Australia, he took me to meet his mom and dad. Then he came to Newcastle to meet my mom and dad, to say, "Hi, I'm Malcolm, and this is our band."He was a very considerate guy.- Brian Johnson
