AC/DC Drummer Phil Rudd Wants His Job Back

Despite facing drug possession and threatening to kill charges in New Zealand, AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd wants his job back. Rudd spoke with TVNZ as per Rolling Stone and exclaimed, “I’m going back to work with AC/DC, and I don’t care who likes it and who doesn’t. I want my job back, I want my reputation back and I’m gonna get it back. I’m gonna fucking take it back.”

AC/DC went on a promotional tour for the recently-released Rock or Bust without Rudd, but the drummer wants to take his seat back for the band’s 2015 world tour. Rudd feels the charges against him are “ludicrous” and added, “This has just been a big ball of cheese, and all the rats are gathering and having a piece. That’s just life. But that’s not who I am. Everyone listens to the wrong people. They should listen to me. I’m a good guy – and a pretty good drummer, by the way. Ask Angus [Young], he’ll tell you.” Next up for Phil Rudd on the legal side is a court appearance for a review hearing on February 10.

But what’s first for Phil? Rudd told TVNZ, “he plans to spend his day fishing in the morning, flying in the afternoon and having sex at night.” Sex, fishing and flying is the new sex, drugs and rock and roll. Stay tuned to see who’s on drums for AC/DC when they kick off their tour in May.
