DEAN DELRAY’S LET THERE BE TALK (EP 561): PHIL RUDD OF AC/DC & BILL BURR (FULL PODCAST AUDIO)

Well it's another dream come true. Today I sit down with the greatest drummer ever Mr. Phil Rudd of AC/DC
It's been an honor to talk to the original 4 who made the Biggest Selling Rock record of all time BACK IN BLACK.
Phil is a Drummers Drummer. There is no better compliment than that.
Phil and I sit down and talk about how he got his start on the Drums, His Audition with AC/DC, His Drum Sets and of Course the brand new record Power Up out on Nov 13th.
The last 15 mins of the conversation I invited my friend Bill Burr to join us for some Helicopter and Drum Geeking.
Thank you so much Jay and Kim and Columbia Records for making my dreams come true.

Its good to hear Phil sounding like his old self again. Im glad you didn't press him on the drama from 2014-2015. As a hard-core Phil fan that was a dark time for him and us.

[@DanielThompsonSongs]

I voted today...for Phil Rudd as greatest drummer of all time

[@srose40]

Phil Rudd is great but......I voted the orange nightmare out of office

[@westerling8436]

I prefer meg white

[@MikeF0024]

This is the big one .. dude hasn't spoken more than 5 words in his AC/DC career. Always wanted to get inside his head He's the man

[@dupersuper6516]

@Goosecore Yea, from the small bit he said, it sounded like he'd have been inclined to come back during the Simon Wright/ Chris Slade eras. I wonder if that was just him not pressing the other guys, or the guys not pressing him, and if so, how much sooner we could have had him back in the throne

[@ratface324]

Hehe spot on, what a scoop. ⚡️

[@ratso1963mikel]

And 3 of those words were in airports!

[@blckmesa8978]

Phil Rudd is indeed the best drummer in history, and he truly is THE AC/DC drummer

[@costasspartan1894]

AC/DC is one of my fav Bands and i enjoy basic style of drumming like Phils however, No disrespect But I wouldn't say he's the "Greatest drummer of all time" but everyone has there own opinion.

[@garyh987]

Absolutely love Phil Rudd, but of course we can't forget about Neil Peart as one of the greatest in history

[@Luiszanahoria]

Neil Peart is by far way better than Phil Rudd

[@dominiccomer8263]

Never clicked on anything faster. Phil Rudd and Ol' Billy Bonham!

Dude same. Two of my biggest idols on a podcast together

[@mufflersponge8969]

The greatest and tightest drummer of all time

[@mufflersponge8969]

One of the rarest interviews

[@hellraiser_9261]

Seriously. Cliff and Phil were always the quiet guys in AC/DC for me. At least, when it comes to interviews, lol

[@markachord9014]

Legendary interview. Dean, can’t thank you enough. This is probably the most in depth Phil Rudd interview I’ve ever heard. (I’m not sure anyone has done it before.) Dean is really proving himself to be the new king of rock interviews. Well done!

[@leshgooo1016]

When people tell Phil how great he is, he is just like “ oh yeah whatever “ lol The greatest drummer. No stupid fills just pure swing. Great to see him back AC⚡️DC FOREVER

[@xMTLKx]

He's a fuc**** hard hitting metronome, nobody can play simple beats as good as he does

[@adamconey11]

Phil and Cliff now have said Powerage is their favorite album, it is without question the hidden gem of AC/DC! Classic hits through out

[@blackdog9951]

I bought the CD over 25 years ago in the discounted bin of the music store. Best music purchase I ever made. Just wish I had on vinyl.

[@robleach7085]

Killer, ballsy riff, "what's next to the moon"...

[@loc81]

Not sure if you’re Aussie but we have a national tour called “Bon but not forgotten” with some sensational musicians every year or so. This years was naturally canned but mid next year they will be doing Powerage and let there be rock in entirety. Going to be fantastic!

OMG, I got ecstatic when I saw Phil Rudd doing an interview, I literally can’t believe it!!!!!!, Also everyone needs to subscribe to Phil’s KZbin channel!!!!!

[@bradyfry8031]

At least now we have 2 thirds of the greatest rhythm section of all time reunited again, Malcolm would be proud.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

Phill Rudd and Brian Downey are criminally underrated and not mentioned enough.

[@tommyquirk7468]

You know what makes you a good dude Dean? You brought in fuckin' Bill Burr to geek out with you for a few questions (and he killed it too). That's what real friends do for each other. Mad props to you my friend!

[@johari3945]

Hey Tommy, well spotted mate

[@deanweedon]

My favourite drummer of all time and I set up my drumkit exactly the same way he does and use the same drumsticks as Phil too! I'm also a Melbourne boy like him. Amazing to hear an interview with Phil ⚡

[@johari3945]

Well said, Melbourne definitely a drummer's place

[@TheDukeOfPannekoeken]

You can tell Phil doesn't like interviews but this was amazing! Thank you!!

[@chrispitman3882]

Malcolm, Phil and Cliff the GREATEST rock n roll rhythm section ever!!!!!

[@thomasbailey3511]

Another great interview with the best drummer/ timekeeper for the best rock and roll band ever. "Let There Be Rock" favorite album. Total masterpiece from beginning to end. AC⚡DC & Dean Delray 2 of the Best ever. Loved you on Joey Diaz podcast appearances you both go deep with the music and one episode you went deep with the "24 karat" sativa.It was hilarious 😁 Take care! Peace out brother☮✌

[@Flapperdame16]

Please now interview Stevie Young! We got Phil, we need the whole band (really psyched to listen to this btw)

[@BeAGoodDoga]

You’re damn right dude! Phil Rudd is the best drummer of all time! Thanks Mr. Delray!

[@donalddodds9471]

WELCOME BACK PHIL

[@SuperClarky666]

Now go full the full set STEVIE YOUNG where are you?

[@REP300]

He'd be a great guest and I'd love to hear his perspective.

[@AutisticBeautyQueen]

My thoughts exactly, I hope Stevie does an interview.

[@dirty-thunder-struck5]

I would love to listen to an interview from Stevie Young, especially with his Scottish accent!

[@madcrabber1113]

Phil and Malcolm made the ACDC sound IMHO. Phil was my inspiration to learn how to play although not very good. Can't wait to see them live again with Phil!

[@MLBa636]

Man, Dean. This is epic. Love the band. Phil is a badass human metronome who knows exactly how to let a song breathe.

[@EduFirenze]

When I pressed play on an acdc record for the first time it felt like I found something that was missing from my life. Never felt anything like that ever since. Thank you for getting these guys to talk. Means a lot.

[@matthewhirt6092]

Holy shit!! You liked my comment last week asking for this, little did i know! Awesome man!

[@jordandean3998]

Phil Rudd is my favorite drummer of all time, I started playing drums earlier this year and he's my main influence, he's a machine. Again fantastic interview Dean🤘rock on

Phil Rudd for president!!

[@robertknutar1803]

Thank you for sharing these Ac/Dc interviews. It's really great stuff. After this i will listen to Riff Riff from the If You Want Blood live album. I don't really have just one favourite song of theirs, but the drumming on that one... Wow!

[@jedtyler2739]

Wow Phil still owns the back in black drum kit from the music videos.. That's cool

[@TheHenHouseStudios]

oh my god...so great. GREAT QUESTIONS, nailed it

[@deandelray]

Thank You so much

[@jimmypage9198]

This is Vernon from Massachusetts. God damn Dean..... I'm happy as hell for you brother!! You did it man! These ACDC interviews are a landmark moment for us as fans as well as you. My above praise is also for Bill Burr as well. I'm very happy to see this opportunity happen for you guys. It couldn't happen to nicer people. Also Dean on a side note I want to thank you personally for your interview with Jake E Lee. I'm 52 years old and Jake has been one of my biggest inspirations and heroes of my guitar playing life. You also did the best interview with Jake I have ever heard. Many thanks!

[@kristofferseppanen]

Phil Rudd is one of the best drummers in the history of rock and roll. I’m happy that he reunited with the AC/DC!

[@bluespig1]

Great to see you back Phil, your a massive force in music.

I think it feels wear to Phil how much he means to many people and how they like his drumming. It's so good to hear him talking in good shape. Thanks Dean again!

[@codyostertag8831]

Phil is THE smoothest/best drummer in the world! There is no AC/DC without Phil. He’s just as important to the band as Angus!

So happy that ACDC is back with this lineup. Can’t wait for the album to come out.

Thanks so much Dean for this historic interview! BTW, FTATR have for me, the biggest drum sound in all rock history. The way Phil plays Night of the Long Knives blows my mind away, although few people speak of this specific epic song.

[@CrenJay]

Hey Dean! I'd never heard of you before, I found your podcast through all of our common love of ACDC and the new album and you've done such an amazing job with the interviews!! I hope you get on Neil Fallon from Clutch, he seems like a great guy (and his cover of Riff Raff from Powerage helped get me through this year!) So happy how good the album is, can't stop listening!
