[@jonesy2111]

He is THE drummer of AC/DC

[@elliottmayer-yeager8087]

Exactly I feel like the only good drummer other than Phil is Chris slade. But no one hits those skins as good.

[@fornlexx]

and when did you find out about it?

[@kylestiller1035]

He’s been the drummer in all their best albums. He’s back in the band anyway. He’s the man.

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

100%

[@reasonrally6658]

Phil deserves another chance to reunite with AC/DC. Phil will always be a part of the AC/DC legacy. I see a humble side of Phil in this interview..glad he got clean, good luck Phil we're looking forward to seeing you unite with your band mates!!

[@mariuszw9665]

What are you talking about? What band mates? Axl Rose and Stevie Young are not his band mates. AC/DC has ended in april 2016 when voice of AC/DC for 36 years left. Now it's only Angus, but 1 guy is not a band. In 2 years (2014-2016) Malcolm, Phil, Cliff and Brian left AC/DC, this band is over...and I'm the biggest fan since I was 14 so this is half of my life, I don't cry but when I found Malcolm passed away I cried like a little wimp. AC/DC 1973-2016 R.I.P.

[@Xxwill55xX]

well I guess our dreams are true Phil and Brian are BACK!!!

[@alexscott730]

Done.I made it happen for you bro☝️🤓

[@musicM0VESme]

The human metronome, with all respect. Love you Phil.

[@karlfromtas]

Rudd is and always has been AC/DC s best drummer even the others said he has a instinct and can read the music better than anyone he deserves another go

[@layman1194]

chris slade

[@RobCavalloMusic]

Chris Slade, Simon Wright...good guys. Phil is "the" AC/DC beat.

[@moniquedouglas2448]

Phil is definitely the best drummer for AC/DC but that is because he is an excellent drummer. He is first class. That's a fact.

[@angus4463]

@@layman1194 nt even close.. Slade plays "stiffer and more technically

[@casemercer6729]

@@layman1194 Dude I have seen you in about 50 different comment sections. Why are you watching a Rudd interview if you don't appreciate his drumming? Just shut the fuck up you god damn fanboy. Nobody gives a shit about Chris, even though he was a halfway decent REPLACEMENT. He is not THE drummer for AC/DC and never will be. If he was so good then why do AC/DC keep dropping him? Because he drums like old people fuck that's why. So how about you just shut your damn mouth.

[@jnrchi3753]

Phil Rudd you are a legend & a gentleman. Don't go having another heart attack on us. The world of rock & beyond needs you to stick around for many years to come. Great interview. Great questions.

[@chaoszine]

Thank you sir. :)

[@mattyboywalker9094]

im glad hes back on his feet

[@jazsm5385]

And on his teeth too!

[@marchensbergen3249]

it's good to have him Back in Black !!

[@mattyboywalker9094]

JasjotSingh Malhotra yeah what happened there. just before head job and rock or bust came out he could hardly talk ?

[@johnarundell7951]

"Bon was a great guy, he's a legend, so we really want to honour Bon and do a great job with those songs."

[@gheffz]

@psycho' si Carter Coz he was agreeing ... what's the problem?

[@rohnakp2396]

Phil is also a legend.....and Angus, Stevie, Malcolm, Cliff, Brian they all are legends

[@them3ssageman748]

I'm glad he cleaned up & fixed himself up & I can FINALLY understand him again! Hopefully Angus will get him back in

[@ZeroTheHeroGOAT]

He looks human again, thank god. Good luck, Phil. We need your groove for many, many more years!

[@MariUSukulele]

PHIL RUDD. legend!

[@metalmadtom]

He sounds and looks great!

[@chaoszine]

metalmadtom tom he was in good shape. Cool guy =)

[@michaelstephen819]

Phil should be back in AC DC - he's their best drummer. Anyone who says he should still be out because of his court appearances doesn't understand the rock'n'roll lifestyle.

[@kerryyelle1120]

congratulations Phil. glad to see you doing well. you are an inspiration and absolutely the best rock and roll drummer. thanks for rocking and rolling my life for 40 years

[@mrblue8439]

Great to see him in a new interview

[@mrblue8439]

I hope he returns to AC/DC soon

[@elliottmayer-yeager8087]

@@mrblue8439 he did

[@gheffz]

"I'm just the drummer" ... incredible quote!

[@buddyseals8911]

Best wishes for Rudd on his come back. Like to see him back with AC_DC

[@Blackscorpion1963]

4:54 - 5:08 - I don't believe I had ever heard such honesty from any of the remaining original members of AC/DC as to their feelings of Bon and his influence in the band. Only now it seems the world is understanding that Bon Scott was actually a rock music genius. Not only in Australian rock music, more so the entire world. I'd also like to add Bon Scott was way much more than a rock genius. Only those who knew him on a more personal level can ever attest to his true nature and characteristics. The man was highly intelligent and had a real genuine empathy towards people few peers ever had. Bon Scott was genuine Australian salt of the earth. 100% NO FRILLS. No B.S. with Bon Scott. He was so straight up. No hidden agendas with Bon Scott. He didn't suffer fools and I bet he came across more than a few of them in his short but full life. I believe the world needs to be told the truth about Bon's death other than the repeated B.S. that it was primarily alcohol. So not true!

[@LeroyKinkade]

Angus knows as we all know Phil is the man with the Sticks, nobody comes close.

[@yeshuahharmasheyah8522]

YOUR ONE OF THE BEST DRUMMERS IVE HEARD PHILL, THE IF YOU WANT BLOOD LIVE ALBUM WITH BON WAS HOT CAUSE OF YOUR DRUMMING FRIEND.!!! ALL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE PHILL.

[@rockmusik1721]

Thank you, Phil for this interview. I was in Flensburg and had much fun there.

[@mairimillar8866]

Incredible drummer. Was such a looker back in the day :(. Weird to see him playing guitar. This guy interviewed him well, respectful.

[@nicholaswilkinson6126]

Miss him in AC/DC

[@italianstallion9148]

Phil Rudd; One of the best rock n roll drummers of all time along side John Bonham. Phil's got great timing & a tasteful groove to his playing. May God bless Mr. Rudd.

[@bodhi9464]

Great interview - good questions - Phil Rudd true legend of drumming and inspiration to many of us. 🥁 🇦🇺 ⚡️ 🎸 🎵

Nice to hear The Human Metronome speak.

thanks Mr Rudd.

[@angrytroll27]

looks a bit healthier

[@normanchamings8156]

I remember an interview with Phil a few years ago. He said it would only take a phone call to Angus and he would be back in ACDC. I'm glad he picked up the phone.

[@powerage477]

Phil, the metronome!

[@clinteastwood5299]

Greetings from a fan in Norway Kaaos Tv is Great

[@chaoszine]

Pepito Delospalotes thanks man! Kippis!

[@journeyintothebible]

I could care less about what he does in his personal life. He's Ac/dc's fuckin drummer since the TNT album, and who are we to judge? Hope they can tour one more time!

[@timnowell3060]

Good luck Phil i hope you can make a tour with your band in the United States soon you always rock my friend.

[@tacoblend3246]

Phil got some teeth. Thank god lol

[@NeoTesla]

There actually false teeth. He lost all his teeth from all the smoking.

[@michaelblumann9000]

Phil est un grand monument du rock et LE batteur d'AC/DC !

PHIL WILL ALWAYS BE A BIG PART OF AC/DC

[@MrAxe-ij4gq]

Phil is AC/DC !!!

[@johnmcleish8460]

good to see ya phil, all the best with your music and kicking the drugs mate

[@thehop639]

Nobody grooves like Rudd... you realise how good he is when you hear Slade on the latest tour..... far to quick which puts all the songs out..

[@dogsy5150]

Couldn't agree more mate. I never liked Slade in AC/DC. The double live album 'Live at Donington' was terrible due to Slade's inability to keep time. Harsh words, I know... It just highlights how important Rudd's impeccable timing and swing is to the overall machine that is/was AC/DC.

[@collectivismkills]

Phil-the greatest.

[@SimonHallMelbs]

All the best to you Phil 🖒

[@davidshaffer4664]

Phil Rudd is the sound of acdc

[@musicffan1863]

Would love to see Phil smile 😁

[@laurentmarquet1989]

Mon batteur préféré

[@AndrewGrey22]

Phil always looks sad or bummed out even when he's trying to look happy. Must have had a real tough life in spite of being in the greatest band of all time and probably THE most solid rock drummer of ALL TIME. I've always enjoyed what he did with his drum parts. He made simplicity on drums fun and he was excellent at writing drum parts while at the same keeping Malcolm happy with what he was doing. Malcolm I am sure, told him to keep it simple. But Phil did it with the ultimate coolness. Dirty Deeds verse part comes to mind.

[@jvc.swedenjj.artisteri9334]

RockOn....

[@WearySteerer]

Maybe the way forward for ACDC as well. No 18 month tours. Just the occasional BIG show. Thank you Phil.

Great to see that he can SPEAK again ... he was soo fucked up 2 years ago -it was hard to understand him speaking at all at the time ... now he is doing better - god bless ... Meth is a f.... dangerous thing - I hope he learned something of it ... stay well Phil

[@tonytutaki]

Hey phill I would love it if you and head job can come to Cambridge and play do a gig

[@keitharcher548]

come on guys, DC need him back? No other drummer has the groove? Find me one that does. Guys make mistakes, OK, but give the guy a chance.

[@mattyboywalker9094]

wow what a really nice down to.earth guy back to hos normal self hard to believe it all went wrong I just wish he could be back In DC along with angus Stevie cliff and Brian obv Malcolm can't anymore but if brian gets better who knows to see Phil back would be brilliant but I'm.so.glad he's doing what he's doing now and I know it has been said he's shy privatr and.don't like interviews but wow he seems absolutely sound

[@iwantmycountrybackkg4482]

Thank fuck he's back

[@djizzah]

glad to see you're well from a fan in your hometown melbourne, ac/dc seems not the same with out your groove in the drum department. best wishes mate

[@MideosVideos]

Ya man

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

Phil sometimes gives slight insights into AC/DC that you don’t hear in interviews with the other members.

[@mickmangles8000]

Lucky Phil

[@colleenmcdonough4432]

People need too let him alone..

[@leonardstone1537]

STAY CLEAN

[@leighfoulkes7297]

Sounds and looks like his former self, before the crazy years.

[@freddagg8329]

im a kiwi good on ya mate

[@erowal1]

I want to see Phil rejoin AC/DC and take the lead vocals on Dirty Deeds 😂

[@IkeReedy]

At least get the date right....

[@jackyblue67same10]

Looks much better with his teeth in than without looks younger .

[@honestcommenterseany441]

What do u x pect thr lifestyle he’s had. Handled it really good. Give him a break everyone fucks up once in a while but no phill no AC/DC for me to many bands members gone. Angus you need him more now than anything. Get him back else it’s highway to the end. I liked phill good drummer.

[@papapoodo6685]

"So you had some difficulties around that time?"...Interviewer did a good job keeping a straight face! LOL

[@geraldwaldrop5131]

I would see Phils band before I would see fucking Axle show....Shame on you Angus !

[@michaelbarlanti7412]

with out Phil it's not ACDC

[@donrainey]

If your outta the band....then ITS TIME to set the world record straight about BON"S complete involvement in B&B....we all know that YOU know the deal as is real! The Young camp cant touch you any longer my man....Tell the TRUTH

[@sydney11ification]

BringntheRain I totally agree bon wrote most of the back and black lyrics his trademark is all over it.

[@donrainey]

Right on brother! Ain’t that the Real Truth Of The matter

[@marcos_music_channel]

"axaly"

[@paulaeden5934]

What's up with head job? I have it..!and gotta say..there's only a few tracks that sound good..the sound production I mean..some tracks sound mono! No treble at all! and one track near the end..speeds up and slows down lol! Wtf??!!! C'mon Phil..maybe you could call the next album 'better job' ! Lol!

[@TheMichaelseymour]

rock or bust - ironic title ...the bloody band fell apart !!! Malcolm , gone - cliff - gone - phil - gone - brian -gone ......jeezuz !!!

[@moedasramone2406]

Michael Seymour But...Angus stay...tank you Axl.

[@6622cowboy]

Axl is not ac/dc! Never been and never will be!

[@JokersWild70]

Well, I have bad news for you: Angus and Axl are talking about making an AC/DC album together. It was on Blabbermouth or Google news. I guess that it would be Axl, Angus, Stevie Young, Chris Slade and they'd have to find a bassist. But I'm with you: without at least Brian, Cliff and Phil, it ain't AC/DC for me. Even having Malcolm gone is a stretch for me.

[@6622cowboy]

Yeah, I heard about it too... I only hope that ,they releas album under another name. It would be a great pity to ruin such a big name

[@mattyboywalker9094]

JokersWild45 is it true that Angus and brain have fallen out ? I cant believe that in space of a few months and a yesr the band fell.apart these guys are my hero's. I could handle when Mal went steveies a great player and OK Phil got.in to bother Chris also a very good player but when BRIan went that was it for.Me and then cliff went. in my eyes acdc died when Brian went. shame.a real shame.now. if brisn and cliff came back and brought Phil back that would be bloody amazing

[@paul7t5]

He's consciously being careful that his teeth don't fall out there. No sudden movements.

[@gunlean7738]

Did Rudd say ur Watching Gay FTV?

[@user-tk3be3lc6j]

WTF!?!? PLEASE FIGURE IT OUT AND BRING PHIL BACK ANGUS!?!?!

[@Bacala57]

They can all reminisce about their careers in the nursing home. They were all great. Time to hang it up and rest on your laurels boys.

[@alexscott730]

I wonder how his Head Job band mates feel when they get to the gig by taxi and Phil pulls up to the gig in a ferrari🤔🤣

[@chaoszine]

wasted? He was drinking coffee :D

[@porqueundiaesundia.6609]

With that face, he can`t be in the band anymore.Anyone deserves a second opportunity but...not yet.It`d be a shame for both.

[@layman1194]

I shall say this......I'm not a fan of Rudd in AC/DC...I'm a huge Chris Slade fan...Chris plays wonderful in that band, and it was a disgrace that Rudd came back.. With my honesty said, Phil seems to be a nice guy here unlike some of the crazy youtube videos we have seen....Glad to see him back on his feet, but hoping to see SLADE stay on the drum seat in AC/DC

[@Thomas-qg5iz]

nah get Rudd on drums, Angus lead G, Stevie rhythm G, Mark Evans on Bass, Brian on lead V (with a lot of ear protection)

[@them3ssageman748]

anthony lay I love Chris & his playing, but on the RoB Tour it seems he became a bite more off & had a struggle keeping up with Angus & Stevie, Phil still has a lot to offer

[@them3ssageman748]

I love either candidate, Larry Van or Dave Evans that would be amazing! I'm glad Angus doesn't really wanna go looking for new faces except with Axl

[@them3ssageman748]

Spencer Gregory oh yeah Mark, sorry & who knows hopefully he was

[@layman1194]

chris stomps phils ass so bad on drums....chris is a drum machine......70 or not, he is still kicking phils ass hole
