Malcolm Young co-founder of AC/DC describes Phil Rudd as 'the real deal'
Drumming peers from Kenny Aronoff (drummer for John Mellencamp) describes him as 'the rock drummer' to Eric Singer of Kiss singing Phil Rudd’s praises 'the heart and soul of AC/DC.'
The Australian drummer played in several Melbourne bands, such as Buster Brown and the Coloured Balls, before joining up with rock giants AC/DC in 1975.
The veteran musician has appeared on all but three of AC/DC’s 18 studio albums, which have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide.
