This may not be the ear-melting metal onslaught most AC/DC fans expect from seeing Brian Johnson live, but it may prove to be just as entertaining.

The Pabst Theater announced today that the AC/DC front man will appear Feb. 22 at 8 p.m. in support of his new book "Rockers and Rollers: A Full-Throttle Memoir."

Surprisingly, the book doesn't take the well-worn rock 'n' roll tell-all path – it's a series of humorous vignettes involving Johnson's love of cars, some music and the occasional groupie – but mostly focused on cars. The book has received very good reviews and Johnson is known to be a gregarious storyteller.

The Pabst folks promise both stories and music at Johnson's show – plus the ever-dreaded "special guest" appearance. I dunno, maybe Ernie Von Schledorn?

Tickets are $35 or $49.50 for special "gold circle" seating and go on sale to the general public Friday – although Pabst e-members can buy tickets through a special pre-sale starting Wednesday at noon.
