In a hilarious throwback, AC/DC’s frontman Brian Johnson shared a memorable night spent with the late Malcolm Young, where the duo attempted to lure the legendary Loch Ness monster out of hiding. This escapade took place during a trip around Scotland, where the two rock legends, fueled by a few drinks, decided to embark on a rather unconventional adventure.

Johnson recounted how they found themselves at a hotel by the loch, with Young armed with a box of fireworks. “Mal said, ‘C’mon, let’s go and find the Loch Ness monster! I’ve got fireworks and it might attract it!'” The night turned into a comical scene as they waded into the freezing water, drinks in hand, determined to spark some mythical magic.

Despite their enthusiasm, AC/DC never immortalized this wild night in song, unlike their past hits inspired by real-life events. However, fellow rockers Judas Priest have paid homage to the mythical creature with their epic track ‘Lochness,’ proving that the spirit of rock and adventure lives on.
