Phil Rudd - Backstage Rehearsal (Head Job)

[@jeffrp14]

As a life long AC/DC fan, when Phil Rudd is not with them they lack something only he can give. He is THE rock and roll drummer.

[@leonardobautista2647]

Even mal said it

[@daveweed2765]

Yeah ya know Cliff Williams ain't with them anymore either. ACDC is changing way too much. OK Bon died and it happens. Malcolm got achievers and that happens too. Thr only one left is Brian ND Angus Brian Johnson is good but not Bon Scott. But still ACDC. So maybe it's time for that real last farewell tour and let the legend live on. I hate the Ten thousandth last concerts from any band.

[@ikigai47]

As a life long AC/DC fan who also plays drums, let's not get crazy; Phil is expendable. There's a reason no great drummer ever cites him an an influence.

[@daveweed2765]

@@ikigai47 Whos a great drummer? What makes a good drummer? The best drum line i have ever heard that impresses me is Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath. That is bad ass. I used to play guitar and now play bass. I am more than happy to lay back and pump out 1/8th notes with some fill ins and walk ups and downs or some triplets every now and then. Even tried country but damn. I have played with quite a few drummers that tried to do way too much to "stand out" and it sucks because I become percussion and keeping the beat. Guitar doesnt matter too much. Bass matters more than guitar but drums? Everyone can tell the screw up. I am like Lemmy on this one. Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, 20 second solo (if that long) chorus and outro and end it.

Phil Rudd in my opinion is the only drummer for ACDC. Despite his issues in the past. It’s awesome he still loves to play and obviously appreciates his ACDC years by his walls

[@TheDeev]

At this point, we can say AC/DC agrees with you, especially Brian. Chris Slade is the best stand-in, but Rudd is AC/DC's drummer.

[@lucasaxl13]

chris slade is million times better, but, rudd is history

[@scampking23]

Slade is way better, and a better rep for them, but AC/DC 4 life either way

[@jimkostuk9332]

@@scampking23 Slade is great for sure. I agree.. And as Bango McCrash said. The best stand in. Everyone has their opinions ( If we’re allowed these days?? Hahaha). In my opinion...Phil Rudd just has that feel/ Groove and emotion that makes ACDC

Phil Rudd is a fucking hard hitting, time keeping powerhouse of pure thunder. He's rock n' roll in every way. People critical of his shit cannot duplicate it with Phil's flavor and precision. So simple, yet so complex.

[@Thecoolman1]

Sums up AC/DC pretty well

[@hectortellez4251]

Absolutely right!

[@CastleHassall]

yeah it's the FEEL he gives to it all.. I'm not sure if that's the best word but you know what i mean

[@toddlavigne6441]

are you kidding? I've heard many drummers do exactly what he does after a couple years of playing. I do think his simplistic approach works really in AC/DC

[@freepressright]

@toddlavigne6441 no, not kidding. Groove and feel is something that either you have, by nature, or you grow into. 30 years of playing out in more cover bands and tribute bands than I can count, you have a lot of "good" drummers who still don't understand the nuances of driving a groove. Having a meter that's in touch with feel at all times is an attribute of a seasoned/mature musician, in many cases. It's more than playing a 4/4. Rudd managed to have a certain swagger and feel -- one thar was noticeably absent or vastly different when Simon Wright and Chris Slade were in the band. Slade had a fast meter. A lot of those songs lost their feel. Slade's strength though was how he could carry or push a shuffle groove. There's far more to playing than just playing the song outright. Mastering feel is something some musicians who have been playing for years and years still don't understand. It took me pairing up with a Vic Wooten trained bassist about 15 years ago to really teach me just how much groove matters. In everything.

[@GibsonASMR]

You can tell this man is proud of what he's achieved in his career, and rightfully so!

[@kentucky8494]

The Master. Phil i don't care what other People say about you......You are still the best

[@toddlavigne6441]

that is silly, he gets the job done but he's no master, but ACDC drumming needs to be simple thats part of it's magic.

[@thomasdaniels6824]

@@toddlavigne6441 I know it's been two years but I want to add in the Chris Slade was no slouch. There's a video of him and the band keeping a rhythm for like 10 straight minutes while Angus was working out some guitar problems. His endurance was amazing

[@toddlavigne6441]

@@thomasdaniels6824 I have to admit I think I have a negative bias against Phil Rudd because I don't like him as a human being. Chris Slade, I think is a good, good drummer. What a gig to play with a band like AC/DC What an accomplishment. But when people call Phil Rudd, the best?? That's a relative thing I suppose. He got the job with AC/DC and stuck with it. Good decision. He did a good job as their drummer. Kudos to them both. Living their dream.

[@charlesl8162]

Just living the dream...

[@charlesl8162]

Never feel bad for Chris Slade. Most people never get to play with AC/DC once. But he got to play with them twice.

[@straightsix1]

thank you for showing this . Seeing all those awards for album sales should tell the world Phil is the greatest drummer of all time. Like Mal said he is the sound of ACDC .

[@rockmusik1721]

It's great to see this professionell drummer exercising. You always see AC/DC performing, but they exercise a lot. Thank you Michelle.

[@ianowen9717]

1:22 Interesting to see him practising with a traditional grip which you would never see him play in a 'Live' setting. Perhaps there is more 'finesse' to Phil's playing than many previous contributors have given him credit for.

Let me tell you this. He put a straight groove down the middle for the rest of the band to hang off. It blows you away the perfect timing of the beat. The frills and sugar candy is what Angus puts on it. Phill earnt his corn by doing that. People like me (drummer for 30 years I need to hit stuff it's in my make up) bonham and buddy and most have the same mental issue they gotta hit. It's just sad that Phil blew the gig. That's all.
