    I believe so but it will not include Malcolm Young, who is not doing too well health-wise (dementia I believe).

    smh...really...I guess that might slow down the tour of circuit of the new album (why are they still calling these albums?)

    AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd charged with attempting to have two men killed
    Phil Rudd, the drummer for legendary hard rock band AC/DC, has been charged with attempting to have two men killed.

    The 60-year-old appeared in a New Zealand court Thursday afternoon facing a count of attempting to procure the murder of two men, said Bay of Plenty district's police spokesperson, Kim Perks.

    He was also charged with threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis, Perks said.

    The names of the men he allegedly wanted killed and the name of the alleged potential hitman are suppressed, CNN affiliate TVNZ reported.

    Rudd entered no plea to the charges at the Tauranga District Court, and was bailed until November 27, local media reported.

    Police searched Rudd's waterfront home in Tauranga on Thursday morning, TVNZ reported.

    The Australian-born drummer moved to New Zealand in 1983, after being sacked by the group. He rejoined the group years later.

    AC/DC are one of the world's biggest-selling musical acts, and in 2003 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    Their latest album, Rock or Bust, is scheduled for release later this month.

    Hear about this on the radio this morning. They were playing Highway to Hell in the background.

    My question is, why wouldn't they play Dirty Deeds? :confused:

    Looks like AC/DC has a decision to make there...either tour without their original drummer (who left the band once and came back) or cancel the tour. Maybe the drummer has a cousin who could fill in?

    I doubt anyone much cares who is playing drums for AC/DC except maybe the band mates. I'd notice Malcom missing before I noticed a new drummer. I couldn't even tell you what he looks like. Is it a bald guy?

    I think the band could survive if Angus were the only original member left. It doesn't work without Angus.

    I'm not a drummer...I'm a guitarist. lol

    Those are serious charges. He done gone and f-ed up his life. I guess he could be innocent but it's pretty specific what he was accused of. It's hard to make something like that up and stick it on a person.

    If the drummer is that big of a deal to the band, then maybe they should call it a day? Or, all drummers don't attend the concerts because you'll will be complaining the whole time. lol

    Ok, Ima let it slide this one time! :grin: Yeah, he's *ucked. But it's ACDC so it's not like the drumming is that difficult..

    In other words, it's not like replacing the drummer of Rush...which would be a bit harder to do (lyric writing not included). Am I right? ;)

    It looks like the charge for "attempting to procure murder" has been dropped. The only charges that remain are for "threatening to kill", of which it appears he will fight, and minor possession of drug charges.

    Looks like they may not need a replacement drummer after all.

    This thread is for those that actually have a taste in music. Go back to listening to Drake or whatever garbage that's popular.
