I've been able to do some not very good watercolour pantings and some cooking which has turned out to be surprisingly edible. The 1988 album Blow Up Your Video was the last AC/DC album to feature lyrics from Johnson. Starting with The Razors Edge in 1990, guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young have written all of AC/DC's material. When asked by a fan during a radio interview why he stopped contributing lyrics, he laughed, "I ran out of words" and went on to explain that during recording he did not always enjoy the pressure of having to come up with an album's worth of lyrics and was relieved when the Young brothers filled in during The Razors Edge. The band has since continued in that tradition for every album since. Forget Ashley! AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson almost bought Newcastle!". Tribal football. Retrieved 13 September 2015

Lives of Brian" - по мое скромно мнение една от най-великите автобиографии на всички времена. И понеже съм на темата за заглавието, не разбирам избраното такова за българското издание - "Лицата на Брайън". Може би има някакво обяснение, но мисля, че то е меко казано "неподходящо" както в прекия, така и в преносния си смисъл. В книгата аз не видях "лица", видях само едно-единствено лице. Четейки, слушайки и гледайки през годините много интервюта на Брайън, си бях изградил един свой образ за него, един свой Брайън. Представях си го като добряк със скъсани дънки, голямо сърце, невероятно чувство за хум��р и отдаденост на това, което прави. Това лице открих и във всяка една страница на тази толкова истинска и откровена книга, която така и не ме остави на мира, докато не я прочета докрая.Kreps, Daniel (16 April 2016).
