I have never been more confused as to why Brian Johnson was forced out of AC/DC than I am right now. The legendary frontman was said to have irreversible hearing loss, but this video of him performing “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66” with Mick Fleetwood and his band suggests that he can hear just fine and that his voice is still in excellent shape. Maybe I’d buy that he can still play this kinda material because it’s not nearly as aggro as AC/DC, except that he covered AC/DC live with Muse last summer. So it increasingly feels like we’re not getting the whole story. I never thought I’d say it, but Jim Breuer was right.

Watch the video below. It was filmed at Fleetwood’s On Front St. in Maui, “A Mick Fleetwood Restaurant & Bar.” Mm-hm.
