AC/DC Singer Slams Reality TV Talent Shows

. A lot of rock veterans have problems with TV talent shows for various reasons, when AC/DC frontman laid out his reasons that became the No 9 story in our Top 11 Feuds of 11 countdown. Here it is:

(RockAAA) AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson has hit out at reality shows which turn wannabes into overnight music stars and claimed the format is chewing up and spitting out young hopefuls.

In an interview with the Belfast Telegraph the legendary AC/DC singer insists the only road to glory is the old fashioned graft to the top method. He said: "There's only one way to do it.

"You get on the stage, you learn your trade and you get out and play in front of people. You serve your apprenticeship just like anybody else. The shortcut ways leads to tears at the end of the day. It's all hype. And it's not fair on the kids to make them famous one week and then nobodies the next. It's just not right."
