About this listen
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.
Recording engineers, Ben Jones, Sam Navel and George Harris
Recorded at Eastcote Studios, London, One Golden Square, London and Panda Productions Recording Studio, Florida.

A laugh a minute
A great snap shot into the thoughts of a rock and rolling petrol head. A great mix of cars, life growing up in the north east and rock & roll. His geordie accent makes for easy listening and a laugh a minute with the way he tells the stories of his life. Please bring out more books Mr Johnson

Brilliant audio book
As well as being a legend Brian Johnson reads this book with a great sense of humour, some great tales to tell his voice is fantastic to listen to with his Geordie accent. It’s one of my top books and would thoroughly recommend it fo any one.

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.
