And lead singer, Brian Johnson is one of us: he vintage races a Royale sports-racer and a Pilbeam.

...and don't forget his wife too
I have to admit I hadn't a clue who either of them were, or what AC/DC was when I took the pictures but they were nice enough

Agree Scott. I knew of <span style="font-style: italic">AC/DC</span> but never listened to them. Cool that he's a car guy. Forgot about the Missus.
Nick Mason (drummer from the band, <span style="font-style: italic">Pink Floyd</span>....a group I <span style="text-decoration: underline">do</span> like) is also a vintage racer with a Ferrari GTO.
And Mark Knopfler (from the band <span style="font-style: italic">Dire Straits</span>) has a nice vintage cars collection too. There's others too, I'm sure.

While not exactly my first choice, I do respect them musically.
But I have <span style="font-style: italic">huge </span>respect for Brian Johnson, personally.
Here's a couple excerpts from a <span style="font-style: italic">Motor Trend</span> interview:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:]When asked about their influence on soldiers, Johnson gets emotional. They get many letters from soldiers and invite them backstage. "I love the soldiers. I used to be in the airborne myself, so I'm there with them. I used to jump out of airplanes, but I was never fired at. I was never in a real war and believe you me, it was scary enough fighting in pretendy wars."[/QUOTE]
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:]Michael Durant, who wrote "In the Company of Heroes" about his time in Mogadishu, asked if he could use the lyrics of "Hells Bells" in his book. "I said, 'Surely, but why would you do that?' 'Brian, they threw me in prison, my legs were broken, and they kept opening the door and shooting at me. That was terrifying. I sat there thinking, I'm going to die. My buddies back in the helicopter squadron hooked some huge speakers to the skids of the helicopter and flew over the city, playing 'Bambababam! ['Hells Bells']. They knew it was my favorite song. I crawled to the window, ripped my shirt off, waved it out the window. That's how they found me.' I still get goosebumps when I think about it," Johnson says.[/QUOTE]
