Summary
By night, Brian Johnson sings in the biggest rock 'n' roll band on the planet. But by day, AC/DC's charismatic, flat-capped frontman gets to indulge his passion for all things automotive. Cars and rock 'n'roll - they were made for each other.
Car racer, car collector, and all-round car enthusiast, Johnson is an incurable, certifiable petrolhead who can't remember a time when four wheels didn't feature as large in his life as music.
Starting, as a young boy growing up in Tyneside, with an old steering wheel and his imagination, a lifelong passion took root early. And through cramped teenage fumbles in an old mini and clapped-out, hygienically challenged tour vans, to chauffeur-driven, leather-trimmed limos and a sideline as a successful racing driver, it's been there ever since.
By turns, surprising, joyful, poignant, and usually laugh-out-loud funny, Rockers and Rollers is the story of man with an insatiable appetite for life and a glimpse into the extraordinary world of AC/DC, set soon to overtake the Beatles as the biggest-selling band in history.
Packed with hair-raising anecdotes and revealing a God-given talent for comic writing on every page, Brian Johnson has written the most unique, entertaining autobiography of the year. And essential reading for car nuts and rock fans. Well that'll be most of us then....
Assistant producer, Ben Jones.

Absolutely fantastic book. Brian Johnson owes me for a new set of shorts and jeans after laughing so much at his fabulous sense of humour. Cheers Brian ✌🏻🇬🇧✌🏻

Geordie Legend.
Absolutely brilliant the way Brian folds his life and stories between the cars, good to hear about his younger days especially the street he lived in shields where he lived next door to my mam and dad in there first flat.

Stopped listening midway
Expected more AC DC stuff . More cover about cars and motors etc . I expected a personal biography of Brian start in music buisness and his account of joining the band and Ani side perspective of the band dynamics .

A great follow up to Lives of Brian
I grew up listening to AC/DC and now I’m enjoying Brian’s audiobooks to the same degree. He’s a terrific storyteller. I’d love to share a few beers with him and shoot the breeze

super funny
I must admit, I did not give Brian a chance as singer in ACDC for some years, being a biased Bonite.
But the guy is a gem, a gentleman, a hell of a singer and an excellent story teller.

A great book for Petrol heads
I'm not much of a AC/DC fan, But i listened to Brian's first book as it was on sale and enjoyed it. It's ready by Brian himself which is a great start, and it's genuinely funny, so funny at times you can hear Brian and his sound engineer laughing in the background.
Chapters are short, so it's almost bite sized. I listened to it in a full, 5 hour single sitting while doing some work on my own car and enjoyed it very much.
