This is just too weird for the “nice guys of rock”, AC/DC. It’s way too early for me to comment. This may explain, however, why Phil was absent from AC/DC’s new lineup band photo.
Some quotes from the article:
“The veteran rocker apparently tried to have two men killed.”
“He was also charged with possession of meth and cannabis.”
“He faces up to 10 years in prison.”
Rudd is currently out on bail, with a hearing on November 27. The new AC/DC album Rock Or Bust is out on November 28.

Any word on who he was (allegedly) trying to have murdered? I heard he was having troubles with his High-School Head. He was giving him the blues.

They really do. I just had a thought that they could re-write their new single as “Let’s pay bail”
Sigh.

I would have liked to have been a Fly on the Wall when Phil Rudd told his band mates that he could not go on tour with them because he was about to be arrested for hiring a hitman.
But I would like it much more to be the Manager for Simon Wright and Chris Slade.

Yes indeed, well said Brian. Those guys could get phone calls for sure. I bet AC/DC are already in rehearsal with potential drummers.

The hitman was apparently hired to take out Phil’s next door neighbour Howard. Apparently Howard would not get his fuckin’ jumbo jet off Phil’s airport.

Okay, not one of my best. Anyway, this is one of those “it can’t really be true, right?” stories. I wonder who will take his place when they tour in support of the new album.

Are you a drummer as well? Perhaps we could do a co-drumming thing with them, adding a much-needed Allmans/Genesis/Grateful Dead vibe to AC/DC’s music. Haha.

Sure am, I love playing the drums. I don’t have a kit right now but I am working on my lovely wife to let me get one so I can teach the kids!
Sure, we’ll trade off mid-gig. The Bald Head Brothers, on drums!

It’s such a head scratcher, for sure. I’d be happy with Chris Slade on drums, but I think they would go for someone younger. Possibly someone from a name band.

It’s Shoot to Thrill, Phil. Not kill. Sounds like some one got him by the balls and Phil has gone shootin. Gotta have some big balls to do something like this. Hopefully he has a good lawyer or he’s going to be shot down in flames for the next tour. If he does go down for murder hopefully he can just be a fly on the wall and wont be a whole lot of Rosie for some ballreaker.
But hey, Money talks right?
