Speaking to ONE News for the first time since his arrest, the veteran musician says the charges against him are "ludicrous"."This has just been a big ball of cheese and all the rats are gathering and having a piece, that's just life, but that's not who I am." Rudd says he's not one to let court charges get in the way. His plans for the day?"I'm going fishing, flying this afternoon and lots of fornicating tonight.""I'm going back to work with AC/DC, I don't care who likes it or who doesn't."Everyone listens to the wrong people, they should listen to me, I'm a good guy, and I'm a pretty good drummer by the way - ask Angus he'll tell you."

"ask Angus he'll tell you" would make a great bootleg title, as would "Fishing...Flying...and Fornicating Tonight"

No Rudd on the Grammys last night; drummer was Chris Slade. No swing, just plod (but Slade is apparently ambidextrous, which is kind of interesting).
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 9 February 2015 13:26 (nine years ago) link
I saw a story somewhere on FB that Slade is probably in for the tour as well, because Rudd has to stay in New Zealand for his trial, which has been pushed back to sometime in the spring (or I guess the fall down there).

lol at the idea that having not stopped for the mental unavailability of one of their two founding members, that they'd subsequently sit around for two or three years after album release to see if the drummer who won't talk to them clears his meth-fuelled criminal charges and decides to tour

Thing is, Phil's playing is actually probably the reason I would go, even sans Malcolm. No Phil, no dice, not for $100.

As the judge dressed Phil Rudd down, perhaps the most stinging rebuke was that the former AC/DC drummer's playing wasn't anything special.
Judge Ingram said there was no evidence he had an offer from the band and he was not convinced that Rudd's drumming was integral to the AC/DC sound.
"Queen replaced Freddie Mercury," he said.

I could totally imagine some hip band sounding like this.
Oh also Phil Rudd got arrested again. For some reason I always thought of that dude as their respectable anchor. Maybe it was all just the glasses. Why did he take that long hiatus the first time?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 03:34 (eight years ago) link
I depped in an DC covers band last year for a couple of months and had to learn 24 songs in short order, 20 of which were in A and at least 5 started exactly the same, the hardest part by miles ( let's face it, the basslines weren't very taxing) was remembering what the hell song you were playing.

...because he was fired for being an unreasonable, drunken, violent dickhole?

Takes a lot to be fired from AC/DC for that! Like Adler getting canned from gnr.
If yr drummer is too smacked out to keep a beat, it makes sense to not employ them
(nb GnR have been 100% terrible since firing Adler)
Never heard of any other members of the Dacca assaulting Malcolm, but tbh I was too young to be aware of any gossip back then

It's really insane, isn't it? Has there ever been another band that lost so many members in such quick, unrelated succession, and not by death, firing or quitting? Phil Rudd in legal limbo, Malcolm committed, and now Brian told to stop? It's just crazy. If I were Cliff or Angus I'd sleep with one eye open.
