I realize that AC/DC is originally from Australia but Brian was born in the UK. Most of the current members of AC/DC were also born in the UK. So I don't get how this Article is very related to Australia.
There seems to be a bit of an edit war going on the subject of Brian's place of birth. I've corrected it myself with notes a few times and had those revisions undone - so I thought I'd put a note here instead of contributing to the aforementioned edit war! Place of birth is Dunston, (which is a neighbourhood in the town of) Gateshead, (which in 1947 was in) County Durham, England - this can be confirmed on the 1947 OS map of Gateshead, should you so wish. I have no idea why people are trying to either remove Gateshead or substitute Tyne & Wear for County Durham - both of those things were correct at the time of his birth. 82.4.226.211 (talk) 22:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
