April 23, 2017, 7 years ago
Former AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd performed on April 21st with his solo band at L'Empreinte in Savigny-le-Temple, France. His set included the AC/DC classics "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation", "Up To My Neck In You" and "Shot Down In Flames". Fan-filmed video is available below.
Supporting his debut solo album, Head Job, Rudd was interviewed by KaaosTV at the Rantasipi hotel in Vaasa, Finland on April 14th prior to his solo show at WS Arena.
When asked about reuniting with his old bandmates he says: “I'd like to be involved with Angus (Young) again, maybe on the next album or something. I have a few travel restrictions, so I'm not even sure if I can get into America. So I have some limitations on what I can do. I'm just making the best of my situation at the moment.”
And is he in contact with any members of AC/DC? “Yes I am. I talk to Brian (Johnson) and we just talk about cars. And I sperak to Cliff (Williams) and we just talk about anything. It's just old friends talking. But I'm sure Angus has a few ideas. He did a great job on the Rock Or Bust album. I was really impressed with that one. It's one of the best ones we've done for sure. It was really well produced by Brendan O'Brien who understands guitars and so forth."
And Rudd pipes in about Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose replacing Brian Johnson as frontman in AC/DC: “That’s obviously to for fill a contractual obligation.”
