Brian Johnson calls Chuck Berry 'an asshole'

AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson has called rock and roll legend Chuck Berry “the biggest piece of shit I ever met in me life”.HoundsTV.com has uncovered footage from Brian Johnson in 2003 signing autographs for fans.

When one fan asked if he has ever asked anyone for an autograph, Brian responded: “I asked Chuck Berry once in 1975. The rudest man I ever met.”

In 1975, Brian was still five years away from becoming AC/DC’s lead lungs and was still fronting his own band Geordie.

When asked if Chuck’s reaction was the reason Johnson signs so many autographs today, Brian answered: “Well, I don’t want to be an asshole like he was.”

As much as I love Chuck’s music, I have to believe Brian. I’ve heard things like this before and have seen how he has treated reporters. Still love ya though Chuck!
