The greatest rock drummers all have that "swing" My favorites are the ones who learned jazz rudiments before playing rock like Bill Ward and Bonham. When heavy music swings like that it's irresistible!
As much as i love Angus and Brian - when Phil, Mal and Cliff played together, i could sometimes start crying… The sound that came out then was the heart and soul of the AC/DC that i grew to like… It was the same for ”A Shot in the Dark” except that Mal’s absence is visible… The moment i heard Phil starting to play, all the piece’s that i missed so badly at the ”Rock or Bust Tour” was suddenly there again…. The man is irreplacable
Yep, saw the boys in 2009 at the Xcel Center on the Black Ice tour. Among other things burnt into my memory is Phil somehow perpetually smoking throughout the entire gig lmao. How the fuck was he lighting all these cigarettes? Absolutely solid drummer.
The reason i started playing 30 years ago, the reason I still do. Chris and Simon were great drummers, but Phil has a feel that can't be matched for ACDC.
I’ll always adore Chris Slade for his brute energy and passion, as well as how much he cares for the band and the fans. But Phil is a terrific drummer who has something most other drummers never grasp, and that’s sheer timing, feel and groove
RIP Malcolm Young 1953-2017!! 😀 😀 🙏🙏 Always the heart and soul of AC /DC, gone, never forgotten!! Great to see Phil Rudd back in the band, one of the greatest drummers ever in my opinion, now the boys are back with the amazing album PWR /UP, Australia's favourite pensioners are back rockin better than ever!! RIP Bon Scott too!! 😀 😀 🙏🙏
The drumming on razors edge could have just as well been programmed.. its soo stiff and not in the pocket the hihat fell is very staccato and the sounds are over compressed to death.. but he played great on the tour, can't say he played great on the rock or bust tour though that was sad guys tempos were soo off it sounded like they couldn't hear each other
Best drummer on earth bar none. Never no stupid silly unnecessary fill ins, just punch, punch, punch, punch punch. Yep, the best timekeeper who ever lived!! God bless ya bonny lad!!
Ringo was as good a timekeeper. Phil suits ACDC brilliantly. Dunno how old this vid is ,but Phil looks so knackered through substance abuse, I presume, now.
This must be 1995, the first time Phil came back in the band. It's hard to find interviews with Phil Rudd on YT. No one played drums for AC/DC like him. Not slighting Chris Slade, but Rudd IS their drummer. Rock steady, dependable backbeat and hard hitting. And in his younger days I reckon the best looking of them!
This is actually in 2001 on stiff upper lip tour but phil returned in 1994, so your righr on that, either way thank God he came back both times, ballbreaker and for power ip
Till Cliff joined the band.....Phil was the best looking.......I always felt that Malcolm looked great till his late 50s where his health began to deteriorate:(
When all that Phil stuff was going on , I remember an interviewer asked Angus who he thought Phil had taken a hit out on . Without blinking Angus said " It'd have to be his dentist " ! Still makes me laugh . I love him !
Malcolm has a cool speaking voice as well as being a brilliant Guitarist Back up Vocalist & song writer. If Mal. Had ever did or released a Audio book with Mal's voice reading the entire book I would Definitely go buy a copy of Mal's book immediately
Hes Been in And out with them Twice But What Shocked me Was First time as Well as Second ,Simon Wright Did a Great Job for 6 years and Walked Away Due To Having a Chance With Ronnie James Dio ,Then Came Chris Slade Who Was Great But Seemed To Add Something Extra When Not Really Needed But Did A Great Job in 90/91 by 95 Phil On Advertising For Ballbreaker Surprised Me But I Was Very Happy To See His Return Hes A Simple Drummer But Straight To The Point Which is Why He Fits Always So Well
I'm not a drummer so I don't know the right terms but I woulda liked Simon better if he had some looser high hat play. It was always tick tick tick with him.
Chris and Simon are both excellent drummers but Phil really is the heartbeat of AC/DC I remember when i started playing drums all those years ago I just learned so much from just listening to Phil play like it's not all fancy tricks and other such stuff it's the point to make the song you're playing have a stone solid foundation that just keeps bouncing along and Phil is the king of that
Phil is the back bone rock solid on the button driving force of the world's greatest rock n roll band on this planet we all live on thank the universe for acdc Boston drummer .
Es el mejor sin duda. Marca y mide tiempos que otro no puede hacer. Con esto tampoco le quito merito a slade ni a writh pero phill es el mejor y el de toda lamvida de ac dc
Im Aussie, i always loved Phil as the drummer, never looked like he was trying hard or anything, so quiet just sitting at the back unassuming with those gorgeous blue eyes.❤ I watched the live at Donnington Concert with Chris Slade playing drums, and i loved his playing, not that im a drummer, and i really enjoyed his rapport he had with Angus on stage. He was very charismatic and they both just had so much fun together. I wish Phil hadn't fkd up all those years with heavy drugs, he looks shocking now, ancient. 😢
Mr. Rudd may I suggest to you sir...fuck what others say about being 'technical' this or that! You sir are a badass drummer with out question. What I'm trying to say is ya got nothin to apologize for lad...Nothin! Tank you for your efforts with such an awesome Rock N Roll Band..in case yer wondering I'm 65, and I have seen many many legendary bands in my day...you boys are in the upper class without question. My apologies to the thread.
Nobody is going to confuse Phil Rudd for Neil Peart. He was a different kind of drummer, but great in his own way, and perfect for AC/DC's type of ballsy, in-your-face rock and roll. He had a driving, on-the-beat, percussive style of playing that drove the band like a locomotive engine.
Phil looked really good here ...unfortunately drugs took him for a ride for awhile & he got himself into some trouble ...but all seems well now & I wish him the best with the new album & hopefully a tour after all this covid mess gets straightened out..
Phil Rudd is the ONLY drummer that belongs on that stool behind the drums. Yes, he did need a time out, even before Bon died, but his death certainly accelerated Phil's decline. The guy is a metronome and has that swing with his right hand that maybe only Charlie Watts and Ringo Starr (living) have. I've been drumming for 30 years, and I don't have it and I grew up on AC/DC. My first album was "Back in Black" purchased in 1980 with my allowance when I was 10 years old.
Charlies my fav but i instantly realized rudds drumming is up there with him once i started listeningto acdc. Its deceptively simple but hes one of the guys that makes every note count. Two very different sounds but theres a lot of parallels in how they play. Swing and negative space is key
I’ve thought about how Phil would interpret those songs. That would be really interesting. Actually, I like how he plays a few of them live after he returned.
The secret to Phil’s sound is in the hi hats, just that perfect balance between tightness and slush. Example, compare to Phil’s hats on Let There Be Rock to Chris’ on Thunderstruck, ‘nuff said. JMHOP.
They should be thankful to Chris Slade who always came through when first Rudd was fired and then his numerous other issues that kept him out of the band.
Can someone please tell me if Malcolm has an Aussie accent? Cause I have not enough experience to understand that. It sounds to me more like a British accent
I've always wondered how fans managed to listen to AC/DC for 12 long years without Phil in the band! AC/DC was still good for the time being, but they were missing the feel.
Phil Rudd never needs to defend his drumming as far as I'm concerned. Drummers can play all the technical stuff they want but it takes real discipline to sit in the pocket and hold down a groove for 2 hours. For that there's nobody better than Phil Rudd.
I had the pleasure of watching Phil Rudd and the boys 3 times in the 70s. Nobody bangs the skins like phil Rudd and I didn't care for simon wright or chris slade. My heart broken off after bondage. I wanted to keep all the original band members together.. I do realize they had Mark Evans. And his brother was the singer and there was a different drummer who now owns a pizzeria in Australia, but that's another story.
"Defend the way I play drums"..., I laugh so much, one of the greatest beat Rock'nRoll bands. .., if not thee Best , don't need to defend sh-t. Ah ha, Love It, Sounds so Good. Ewe, that's good Party Music.. Great Video, Thanks.. Thanks alot. Bells
Yep Flick of the Switch Album Recordings Phil went off the rails with Drugs and got into a fight with Malcom he did complete the sessions then Mal sacked him until he got his shot together
Phil Rudd (Melbourne, 19 de mayo de 1954) es un baterista australiano de hard rock. Conocido por ser el baterista de AC/DC, es considerado el baterista original de la banda; junto con Cliff Williams y los hermanos Young conforma la formación clásica del grupo. Su etapa en AC/DC comprende desde 1975 a 1983, posteriormente desde 1994 hasta 2014 y Desde octubre de 2020 a día de hoy. Desde la salida del grupo por parte de Mark Evans, se convirtió en el único integrante australiano del grupo. Junto con los hermanos Young, Cliff Williams y Brian Johnson, ingresó al Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, en 2003. La revista Rolling Stone, lo ubicó en el puesto N°86 en la lista de Los 100 Mejores Bateristas de la Historia. Ha vuelto oficialmente a AC/DC con el anuncio del álbum Power Up que fue lanzado el 13 de noviembre de 2020.
Chris Slade was devastated when Malcolm told him we don't need u to come to rehearse for the new songs yet. Somebody at the studio told Chris that Phil Rudd was there playing drums. Chris called the studio and Angus was like we don't need u anymore cause Phil is back in the band. U can watch interviews of Chris Slade and he will tell u what really happened.
It was more like the boys said they wanted to give Phil a try and Chris decided that was a blow to his ego and wasn't going to be an understudy. That's literally what Chris himself said. Then he said he regretted it.
@@dupersuper6516 Chris Slade told me that they was about to start recording for the new Album. And next thing he said management call's and he said my wife answered the phone. And they told her that we no longer need Chris that Angus and Malcolm are bringing Phil back. And he goes i was like stunned had to sitdown and he said i was not happy. He said i told management to pay me for what they owed me and they did. And i tried to reach out to Angus and Malcolm and they declined to talk. Ok then why did Chris play drum's again for them after Phil was busted on charge's. And then they kicked Chris out to bring Phil back in. And then Phil can't leave his location due to his charge. And they contacted Chris and i guess his wife told them to tell Angus no.
In the mid late 70s Phil broke his arm! And one of the drummers that filled in was it not a American named JOE B. WIMORE? PLEASE DISCUSS THIS FOR Joe was on a video : Girls got Rhythm
There's a clip of ACDC doing a sound check for some (MTV?) show.. i think the song was "gone shooting". Anyway, in the first part, you just hear Phil playing (soloed), and I tell ya... I never realised how essential he is to the ACDC sound. Just him alone playing = the spirit/groove/feel of AC/DC. [edit: here it is! ruclips.net/video/1d6dum-m2w0/видео.html ]
I got into AC/DC back in 90/91 after seeing the video for "Are You Ready" so after buying "The Razor's Edge" album I must admit I really did like Chris Slade's drumming, especially on the "Live At Donington" video. I still like Phil's drumming on the earlier albums, but I'm not a hater of Chris Slade either like a lot of fans. Check out the live black and white performance of Tom Jones singing "Chills and Fever" from the 1960's and you'll see a young Chris Slade (with hair) drumming for him. He's really good. ruclips.net/video/DmA-mczzN3Q/видео.html
It's kinda hard to feel sorry for Chris Slade. He's a guy who once got calls from Jimmy Page and David Gilmour on the same day , both offering him a job. And he wound up doing both gigs - and then afterward joined ACDC. Not exactly a pitiful life for a rock musician. With all respect to Phil , and I think he's great in ACDC , I couldn't see those kinds of gigs being offered to him .
rip Malcolm but i gotta Admit I love Phil Rudd but as weird as this might be to some people Simon Wrights my favorite AC/DC drummer ik ik unpopular opinion
Young musicians can't appreciate the value of a straight-forward drummers like PR. However, once you've played with guys who try to play beyond their abilities while not being able to keep the time, locking in with a cat like Phil becomes a must have.

Malcolm said it himself, Phil is the true AC/DC drummer.
Phil said it himself, too. It was really simple. Yeah...🙄
Yes he is!
Phil is the Heartbeat of ACDC. One huge reason why Powerup is a success
Right!! ❤
Amen
This band will never cease to amaze me. They are so human and yet so out of this world. Apex musicians. Otherwordly fee
ling.
Yea
Demons Fire as Phil And Mal all the way, that's the only song for me really it's got Balls.
I can see why they want Phil back as he is just a phenomenal drummer who fits right in to their style
Miss Malcolm, such a nice bloke.
What a Band, the classic AC/DC with Bon are just Gold.
Not to take anything from Simon Wright or Chris Slade but Phil has that swing in his drumming that no one can replicate. It just is...
Masterful
I saw Phil Rudd with AC/DC and completely understand where Malcolm is coming from
No one can replicate Phil’s groove and swing. I can tell the difference between he, Slade and Wright. It’s easy to pick them out.
The greatest rock drummers all have that "swing" My favorites are the ones who learned jazz rudiments before playing rock like Bill Ward and Bonham. When heavy music swings like that it's irresistible!
Chris apparently still thinks he's in the band
@@bradwest4821 ikr. He definitely had a good fast groove for the band if you listen to the Live at Riverplate album

The man is irreplacable
This!🔥🤘👍
Even with Mark Evans on bass you still get the authentic AC/DC sound - as long as Phil Rudd is drumming behind the Young brothers.
Phil pounding the drums with a cig hanging in his mouth is priceless just another day at the office :-)
Yep, saw the boys in 2009 at the Xcel Center on the Black Ice tour. Among other things burnt into my memory is Phil somehow perpetually smoking throughout the entire gig lmao. How the fuck was he lighting all these cigarettes?
Absolutely solid drummer.
All the greats produce their sound so effortlessly, seems without even trying. Thanks Phill.
The reason i started playing 30 years ago, the reason I still do. Chris and Simon were great drummers, but Phil has a feel that can't be matched for ACDC.
Chris is a showpony always trying to take the attention away from Angus.
I'm glad Phil is back, it was never the same when he wasn't the drummer!
Completely true. Makes me laugh when people say Chris is better. He’s good.... but Phil is the only true AC/DC percussionist
That's true
It was pretty much the same. Really, it was.
@@nomadnomad9517 No it was all together different...... really, it is.

I couldn’t agree more with Ian’s comment......... Long life to Mr Phil Rud....
I'm so glad I grew up listening to Phil's playing with them because he taught me how to play drums... and about getting a good feel to the music.

Only drummer for this band. Fits like a glove.
Like a hand in a velvet glove
He’s not fancy but he’s solid. He’s got fashion! I like Chris too but Phil is the drummer for ACDC!
Fashion??? That's def one thing I don't see here..OR a concert 😂😂
Pocket player. And adds the jive
I am a huge Phil fan, but Chris Slade's drumming on The Razor's Edge album is flat out fantastic and he deserves some serious props.
Simon wright on who made who too
The drumming on razors edge could have just as well been programmed.. its soo stiff and not in the pocket the hihat fell is very staccato and the sounds are over compressed to death.. but he played great on the tour, can't say he played great on the rock or bust tour though that was sad guys tempos were soo off it sounded like they couldn't hear each other
I agree 100%
Nobody wants to see Phil not being in AC/DC, he's the guy that backed them in those early albums.
Malcom came back to life to do this interview.
Lmao this was 20 years ago
Best drummer on earth bar none.
Never no stupid silly unnecessary fill ins, just punch, punch, punch, punch punch.
Yep, the best timekeeper who ever lived!!
God bless ya bonny lad!!
Yep, you got it right on the 'timekeeper' bit.....he's like a metronome!
@@stevemurrell6167 I once read metronomes are calibrated by Phils rhythm
Ringo was as good a timekeeper. Phil suits ACDC brilliantly. Dunno how old this vid is ,but Phil looks so knackered through substance abuse, I presume, now.

He is for sure, Simon Wright was good too, Slade I did not care for
Pack of cigarettes. 5 minutes for Phil.
It’s not just about musicianship it’s about loyalty 👍🏼
Phil is a great drummer his timekeeping is amazing!👍
I've never seen anyone so calmly beat the living hell out of a drum kit like Phil. He was the best. He was ACDC.
So glad that Malcolm said this so true
Phil is this band's lifeline. His work is priceless.
Phil’s been through some fucked up shit, but it ain’t AC/DC without him.
When all that Phil stuff was going on , I remember an interviewer asked Angus who he thought Phil had taken a hit out on .
Without blinking Angus said " It'd have to be his dentist " !
Still makes me laugh . I love him !
Human metronome 👍
Metronomes sound cold, mechanical and lifeless. Phil has swing and boogie...
@@corrections9957 He's a mix of both.
Almost every Hardrock or Heavy Metal drummer has a clock signal on his earphones in studio. Not Phil. He's his own metronome. An Atomic clock
Human metronome: perfect analogy and description of Rudd's playing.
@@VNeto94 YES!!
Phil is the best!😊
Malcolm has a cool speaking voice as well as being a brilliant Guitarist Back up Vocalist & song writer.

I'm not a drummer so I don't know the right terms but I woulda liked Simon better if he had some looser high hat play. It was always tick tick tick with him.
Plus once Malcolm got sober, he really didn't like Simon's drumming any longer.
He is probably the most underrated drummer in rock music! As a guitar player I wish more drummers would learn from his style!!😊
Just listened to Back in Black in the car yesterday. Phil is an absolute monster.
That mix of bear-trap tightness and monstruous swagger. Damn...
I saw AC DC I think in 1981. I was blown away by the whole show. Totally awesome!👍
Chris and Simon are both excellent drummers but Phil really is the heartbeat of AC/DC
I remember when i started playing drums all those years ago I just learned so much from just listening to Phil play like it's not all fancy tricks and other such stuff it's the point to make the song you're playing have a stone solid foundation that just keeps bouncing along and Phil is the king of that

He said i told management to pay me for what they owed me and they did. And i tried to reach out to Angus and Malcolm and they declined to talk. Ok then why did Chris play drum's again for them after Phil was busted on charge's. And then they kicked Chris out to bring Phil back in. And then Phil can't leave his location due to his charge. And they contacted Chris and i guess his wife told them to tell Angus no.
kick, snare, kick, snare. That pretty much sums up his drumming.
YEAH 😂 RITE ON MAN!!! OH YOU FORGOT HI HAT LOL LOL😂 😂 WOW WHO NEEDS TOMS AND FLOOR TOMS!!!!!! YOU ONLY GOT 2 HANDS!!
You don't to defend anything Phil. Great player.
In the mid late 70s Phil broke his arm! And one of the drummers that filled in was it not a American named JOE B. WIMORE? PLEASE DISCUSS THIS FOR Joe was on a video : Girls got Rhythm
He has the swing with Mal playing ahead Phil plays slightly behind the beat and makes AcDc magic that way
Phil talks like he plays the drums: straightforwardly, no bullshit....he's the best ❤️🙏🏻
There's a clip of ACDC doing a sound check for some (MTV?) show.. i think the song was "gone shooting". Anyway, in the first part, you just hear Phil playing (soloed), and I tell ya... I never realised how essential he is to the ACDC sound. Just him alone playing = the spirit/groove/feel of AC/DC. [edit: here it is! ruclips.net/video/1d6dum-m2w0/видео.html ]
I got into AC/DC back in 90/91 after seeing the video for "Are You Ready" so after buying "The Razor's Edge" album I must admit I really did like Chris Slade's drumming, especially on the "Live At Donington" video.
I still like Phil's drumming on the earlier albums, but I'm not a hater of Chris Slade either like a lot of fans.
Check out the live black and white performance of Tom Jones singing "Chills and Fever" from the 1960's and you'll see a young Chris Slade (with hair) drumming for him. He's really good.

With you ,i feel the same way
Chris Slade is unreal. Hits me hard and with passion. Simon Wright would have been better in a military marching band he was so boring.
@@jonginder5494 yeah I'm not a fan of Simon Wright's drumming either.
@@dobbo4596 Cheers mate
Phil Rudd’s drumming is without a doubt at its best in Shot of Love and Fire Your Guns. 2 very underrated numbers.
The rumours say that it was not as simple as that, they struggled and Ballbreker recording was the hardest and longest sessions they ever did
It's kinda hard to feel sorry for Chris Slade. He's a guy who once got calls from Jimmy Page and David Gilmour on the same day , both offering him a job. And he wound up doing both gigs - and then afterward joined ACDC. Not exactly a pitiful life for a rock musician. With all respect to Phil , and I think he's great in ACDC , I couldn't see those kinds of gigs being offered to him .
This is his return about 15 years ago !
And before a 10 year drug binge!
More like 25 years ago.
rip Malcolm but i gotta Admit I love Phil Rudd but as weird as this might be to some people Simon Wrights my favorite AC/DC drummer ik ik unpopular opinion
Young musicians can't appreciate the value of a straight-forward drummers like PR. However, once you've played with guys who try to play beyond their abilities while not being able to keep the time, locking in with a cat like Phil becomes a must have.
How come phil wers glasses
