AC/DC’s Brian Johnson Discusses Band’s Future - “Unfortunately, Sometimes There’s A Time When You Have To Call It Quits”
September 8, 2015, 9 years ago
In an interview for Morning Sun Music, Gary Graff asks AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson about the talk that Rock Or Bust and the current world tour will be the band’s last hurrah, but Johnson prefers to be circumspect about what the future holds.
“Y’know, retirement is like anything,” explains Johnson, who also sang on the companion album to Sting’s 2014 musical The Last Ship. “A good footballer, a good ice hockey player, they don’t want to retire, but unfortunately sometimes there’s a time when you have to call it quits. So it’s an ongoing thing with us; we never say no, and we never say never.
“The thing about the boys in AC/DC, you’ve got to remember, is we’re constantly surprised and amazed at how we keep the success going. We don’t know what we’re doing — I mean, we literally don’t know what we’re doing except what we’re doing is we just play 100 percent every night and give it everything we’ve got. If that’s the secret of success, we’ll pass it on.
“But we never expect the crowds. We never take anything for granted. How can you? Times change. You’ve just got to keep doing what you’re doing, basically, and just hope they come back for more.”
