Brian Johnson - Pre AC/DC
[Info taken from the Christian Graf Rock Lexicon, Taurus Press, Hamburg Germany, and updated by me Peter Gormley]In the early 1970's, Brian Johnson was the singer for a Newcastle, England band that started out as U.S.A., but soon changed their name to Geordie. Geordie released several albums, including: "Hope You Like It" (1973), "Don't Be Fooled By The Name" (1974), and "Save The World" (1976). The band was popular in Europe during that time period, but that popularity soon ended. Geordie broke up, and then a few years later Brian, with a new Geordie lineup, released the album "Featuring Brian Johnson" (1980), which had reworkings of Geordie songs. Brian also ran a vinyl car roofing business until 1980.
