In a recent conversation with José Luis Mata Sanchez, original AC/DC frontman Dave Evans finally addressed the age-old debate of whether Brian Johnson or Bon Scott was the top AC/DC singer.
Scott propelled AC/DC to fame in the ’70s, while Johnson has been an integral part of the band for over four decades. Evans shared his perspective on who he believes was the superior frontman:
“Well, first, Dave Evans is the best, of course. That’s me, okay? Of course. And most of my fans will tell you exactly that, too. I’m not just making it up. After concerts, if you come to one of my concerts, you can make up your own mind, okay? But they call me maestro, which I love. So it’s nice to be called maestro.”
However, Evans emphasized the distinctiveness of each vocalist’s style:
“But they’re both completely different. And you can’t compare them. You can’t compare me either with Bon Scott or Brian Johnson. So that’s an unfair question. You’ll only get a Bon or a Brian from someone who’s biased.”
