PHIL RUDD ‘ THE VERY DEFINITION OF ROCK DRUMMING’ Modern Drummer
Malcolm Young co-founder of AC/DC described Phil Rudd as “ the real deal”
Drumming peers from Kenny Aronoff (drummer for John Mellencamp) describes him as “the rock drummer” to Eric Singer of Kiss singing Phil Rudd’s praises “ the heart and soul of AC/DC.”
The Australian drummer played in several Melbourne bands, such as Buster Brown and the Coloured Balls, before joining up with rock giants AC/DC in 1975.
Over the next four years Rudd powered the band to superstardom with his dogged consistency and unshakeable backbeat on classics like “It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock ’N’ Roll)” “T.N.T” and “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” Phil Rudd is an indelible part of AC/DC history.
Rudd said he ‘‘went straight down the road to buy my first Ferrari’’ after the block busting epic album Highway to Hell went multi-platinum Worldwide.
To the inexperienced, Phil Rudd’s drumming may seem rudimentary. But his unselfish style and humongous groove have earned him the adoration of generations of drummers. Rammstein’s Christoph Schneider said in the October 2010 Modern Drummer, “AC/DC were my absolute heroes because they are simple and easy to copy-though soon you find they are not so easy to copy.” The magazine’s May 2010 issue also chimed in on the timeless rocker with the feature “ 50 Reasons To Love Phil Rudd “
The veteran musician has appeared on all but three of AC/DC’s 18 studio albums, which have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide.
"You couldn't find a more solid person or drummer than Phil Rudd" said AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson.
Phil Rudd during 2014 recorded and released his first debut album Head Job with Kiwi musicians Allan Badger and Geoffrey Martin . The release of Head Job via Universal Music Group only took place in Australia & New Zealand. However the promotion plans for Head Job were scuppered by well publicised legal problems in New Zealand.
"I couldn't be bloody happier with Head Job , to tell you the truth" Phil told Libel Music. "I'm so proud of the album, everything I had to do with it. The guys played really well on it, it's just too good. Really great, mate… I'm pretty happy with the drum sound “
With recent well publicised problems ( which ended up in Phil Rudd serving a 8 month home detention sentence ) naturally thwarted the 2014 release of Head Job . Phil is determined to leave all his problems behind him and is very focused on a positive life style . He will be visiting the UK and Europe on promotion for the Head Job re-release.
“ My hell raising days are over” [ Inspired by Sir John Kirwan the All Black Rugby Legend ] “ I see a psychiatrist once a week and I'm closer than ever to my children. I still have all my flash all his cars but now I want to grow chillies “
Phil Rudd showcased 11 of his luxury cars in a Christchurch ( New Zealand ) earthquake appeal fundraiser including a rare 1991 Ferrari F40 and a brand new Ferrari 599. Other cars on display included two Lamborghinis, a 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost, 2011 Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley super sport, Audi R8 V10, a 2011 Aston Martin DBS, 2010 Mercedes SLS AMG .The 11 cars have a combined worth of approximately$3m (USD).
Rudd’s airport hangar is also home to his MD 520N helicopter.
Phil Rudd has turned a corner and completely dedicated his life to the more important things in his life including family , friends and music.
In 2020 PHIL RUDD has re-united with AC/DC .

@@andrewfrancis7272who would have thought that Phil would turn out to be the wildest member of AC/DC? “Head Job” is a name that he definitely lives up to 😂 you go producing a record for Phil and it bombs… EXPECT A PRICE ON YOUR HEAD BY THE FOLLOWING MORNING… Head Job!!! 😂😂😂😂 The guys in AC/DC have to be “strictly business” when it comes to their relationships with each other. The fact that Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams both live in completely areas of Florida, and with Angus living between Britain, Amsterdam, Australia, and wherever else he has houses… and Phil in New Zealand… that alone tells me that they likely only talk to each other whenever Angus and when Malcolm was alive… whenever those two have material laid out for a record followed by concert dates. They’re also probably still feeling the effects of burnout from the 80s when they were at it non-stop. I was stunned to later learn that Brian Johnson was having major difficulties because of that, nearly putting him on the brink of suicide
Phil has sucha solid drumming. No gimmicks or crazy show off stuff. Just solid hard rock drums.

In this video, Phil reminds me so much of my late drummer, Dave. He has the same mannerisms and facial expressions that says " Oh,fuck it all. I just want to drum and none of that fancy bullshit, but nice hard hitting rock n roll." I haven't found a drummer that can fill his shoes or his demeanor. RIP Dave, miss ya bud!

SO TRUE, you can have all the fancy licks you want BUT if you've not good good timing then you shouldn't be a drummer and I'm saying that to half of you dicks on this page lol, good luck mate it's damn hard been there!
Phil's drumming is as integral to AC/DC's sound as the Young's guitar music. Good to see him. And better when he puts his teeth in.
Tahnk you, Phil for this video. I´m glad you got through your hard time. Please look for your health, I need your playing and music, I have been to 39 AC/DC concerts, most of them with you. I wrote the "Phil´s got Rhythm bannar" in 1996, when you had come back to the band. These years were great years. Malcolm came back in 1990 (I was the heppiest young man you can think of), and then you returned, these were great times. Thank you for this and keep playing. I bought all AC/DC records of the band in 1983 of a friend, and this was new and special thing for me, at first "Diry deeds" and then I felt, what a special record "Power age" was. Heard it till I knew each note, the riffs on guitar of course. And YOU play on all these albums, be proud as you can.

this is the man who put and kept that 'Swing' in the AC/DC beat and gave them that very rhythmic groove.
I like this kind of sound. Big Fan from Phil since the time begin with AC/DC. I miss that fucking great time,now, but im also thankful i could enjoy that with a lot of live concerts. I greet Phil and all Fans of him. Nice greetings from Germany. Long live Rock'n Roll.
Can never get enough of the Human Metronome, Mr.Phil Rudd,..Thanks from all the Drummers in 🇨🇦 🍁
I was today years old when I discovered this. How the hell has this slipped past me? This rocked Phil, absolutely blown away.....fabulous.....and thank you.....
Sounds great to me. I love it.
Not bad at all. Better than I expected it might be. The riff is catchy enough that it had me playing it over in my head for a couple of days until I had to hear it again. I like how the video is a mix of ego/pomp and then just regular guy-ism. The line about they understand my pain…at the grand hotel…kinda says it all. And the jamming out in some random bedroom in his house like any teenager might have it set up, only to be followed by getting in a helicopter and taking off also says something about Phil’s dual-life and personality as an Everyman Aussie Rockstar. Even the girl points to his dual-life. She’s young and hot as hell, even when she’s yelling at him - wirh rollers in her hair also being a nice touch - about some stupid every day bullshit I’m sure, just like every man has to deal with. Yeah overall really catchy tune great riff great playing..

I knew who Phil was back in the 70's when ACDC first got big so he's not a new strange name to me. All these years later here he is, in a great rock trio of what are clearly friends and it's awesome, love this ! Found this today, Nov 28 2022 for the first time, didn't know he'd done this. Gotta have this, it's heading my way soon as I hear it once more.

Great tune. Well done lads! We're waiting to see you in Ireland. Trust me. If you come here its gona be a full house. I'll be spreading the word too. We'll also be travelling for the other shows. See yas soon. Will done Phil.

cool band, great pure rock n roll man!
Didn't expect to be this impressed. Great material.
I might listen to the album after hearing this track. I’m pleasantly surprised
Have been jamming on AC/DC since High Voltage in about 1975. Phil's drumming is tight and he always looked like he was having fun doing it. Awesome that he is putting problems behind him and kicking ass again! Odd that you can tell a person is getting older when they wear white sneakers...my wife will NOT let me buy a pair. 🤘🤘🤘
