From Brazil, country in which he gave 16 concerts, The musician gave a press conference in which he also performed a small set of three songs at the Dorian Theater on Avenida Pueyrredón.

Even though the public was the media, Evans was energetic when performing some of AC/DC's early classics, like “TNT” or “Rock & roll Singer” and then expressed his joy for being in our country for the first time. “We will do songs from my solo career and part of the repertoire that the band recorded during the Bon Scott era”, anticipated regarding his show on Saturday at Gier Music.

His time with the Australian band left a single that included the songs “Can I sit next to you girl” and “Rockin’ in the parlor.”, in times when the group was just starting out and was looking for its way, by producers Harry Vanda and George Young (older brother of Malcolm and Angus). “I have wonderful memories from that time., we were very young. I had never heard those songs and when I saw the lyrics, Malcolm and George were singing it. “They sounded very different from the songs we had been making.”.

Another thing that the singer mentioned was the difficulty that the group had in those days in getting a record company.. “Not all bands had the possibility of making an album like it can be done today.”, “We were fortunate to have two good producers”.

“Going through all that and managing to capture those songs on an album changed my life forever.”, and it is to this day that I am grateful and excited”, he concluded.

On the other hand, and when asked about his departure from AC/DC, Evans maintained that they were “very difficult times, in which the band did not receive the necessary money in accordance with what was being achieved”. In this context he emphasized that the group was consolidating itself on the Australian charts and the concerts were increasingly.

He also made reference to the “number of changes in members and representatives throughout the year.”, especially with the drummers and bassists and a fight with one of the managers that resulted in his departure from the group..

Regarding its current, Evans maintained that he has a great relationship with AC/DC fans and assures that they love their concerts.. “I always propose that those who don't like any of my concerts or my albums, I return the money. Do you know how many times that happened?? Zero".

When asked about the departure of Brian Johnson, the inclusion of Axl Rose and the news of the Australian group, Evans was forceful and expressed that “AC/DC is a necessary brand within rock.”. Especially nowadays when there are not many references, but whoever sings, They need to record an album because otherwise they will be a cover band and nothing more.. I recorded, “Bon recorded and Brian too… today there is only Angus and he must introduce the group again”.

By last, and in case you are invited to a possible final meeting with the band, Evans said he would be “delighted” but the two original members of the group in the early 1970s would have to be part of it., with bassist Larry Van Kriedt and drummer Colin Burgess.

In our country, Evans will be accompanied by local musicians Germán Catelli and Matías Perracca on guitars, Julián Acuña on bass and Andrelo Larroque on drums.
