AC/DC Vocalist Brian Johnson tells us
that Angus is more than ready. "Me lad Angus is at the top
of his game. He and Malcolm outdid themselves on this album. They
had such fun with this one. The lucky winner is sure to learn a
thing or two before it’s all over."
Says Angus: "You never know, the winner might be able to
give me a tip or two. If they’re too good, of course, I
might have to tape their fingers together."
The auction for the Angus guitar lesson will begin on February
21, with the winner announced on MTV’s Total Request Live on
February 29, (the day Stiff Upper Lip arrives in stores) live
from the band’s first in-store appearance ever, at New York
City’s Virgin Megastore, in Times Square.
