If you didn't already know, Evans was fronting the aussie superstars before both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. The band only released one single with Evans behind the mic, the original version of «Can I Sit Next To You, Girl» from 1974, later released on the album «T.N.T.» in 1975 with Scott on vocals. The 58 year old singer is still touring around the world, and this month he's playing in Norway for the first time, backed by Norwegian rockers Barbed Wire.

Overlap concretely wharfage. – My show is a tribute to the history of AC/DC, which I'm a proud part of, Evans says. Why he's not doing Brian's songs He meets NRK.no just minutes after his hourlong set at the UtenRicks rock club in Knarvik, just outside Bergen, Norway. Although most of the audience was AC/DC-diehards well in the know, not everyone had done their homework in Rock & Roll-history. Two young blonde girls quickly became the centre of attention, when they complained about the show's opening songs, «Can I Sit Next To You, Girl» and «Rockin' In The Parlour», the A- and B-side of the band's first single. The girls didn't know the songs and demanded to hear «You Shook Me All Night Long» instead. Evans politely declined, offering the following explanation after the show: – It’s a great song, but I'm not singing any of Brian Johnson's songs. Buena vista social club torrent kickasstorrents.

Evans picked up the phone. – It was Malcolm on the other end of the line. He had been in a band called The Velvet Underground in Sydney, a top covers band. After he left, I joined that band, when their singer quit. He had heard about me, since he had kept in touch with the boys. So he said: «Come on down and jam with us». They were three at the moment, Malcolm on guitar, Colin Burgess on drums and a friend, Larry van Kriedt on bass. So we jammed on some Rolling Stones and Free and some other stuff. Everybody thought it sounded great, so we all shook hands and we had a band. – And then, about a week later, Malcolm asked us if his younger brother Angus could audition. So we jammed and it was cool. We all shook hands and that’s how the five of us got together, Evans says. STILL A SCHOOLBOY: Angus Young performed wearing a Zorro-suit for a short time.

He had heard that I had split with The Velvet Underground and he was looking for a singer. So I asked him in and he played me the stuff he was into, which I wasn’t into it at all. So I didn’t join his band. He never forgot that.
