For the glory of Bon Scott-era AC/DC

[surfndestroy]

I wonder how many musicians I admire have paid to have people killed.

Look on the bright side, Malcolm's already forgotten about this.

Paying to kill people is irresponsible.

Nice.

I really want this shirt.

I love Bon Iver but this shirt is awesome.

You know, this reminds me that I'd been meaning to check out Phil Rudd's new solo album, Head Job.

Not the Bon Scott era - but this happened today over here

Yeah, pretty sad stuff since they've got the new album and tour next year now.

Yeah he really should have hired a hit man at a more opportune time.

Talking about the apparent Hitman

In an exclusive interview with Stuff, the man, whose name is suppressed, said Rudd had wanted him to become his bodyguard because of a number of threats he was receiving.


Stuff is aware that Rudd has had bodyguards stationed outside his waterfront mansion for the past several weeks, and the man said that was because of disputes with "working girls".

"The girls that he gets, working girls and that, their partners get pissed off, he tells them ‘nah I'm not paying you' and then the partners come and say they want their money."

The man said Rudd had been planning on travelling to London to record with AC/DC and had asked him to come along as his bodyguard.

He said Rudd had "done a lot for the community", single-handedly keeping some businesses afloat.

"The amount he spends on company is like someone's yearly wage . . . he's the Hugh Hefner of Tauranga.

Geez, the rock stars really have it tough. There should be a charity or something so we can help them with their troubles.

You don't have a bodyguard who fights off angry pimps?

Sounds like a jerk. Who likes a good jerk.

Trying hard not to comment on the people I've met from Tauranga.

[LetMeSleep]

Btw this is fantastic publicity for the new album. Everyone knows about it now and a fair amount of their fans would approve of his hedonistic lifestyle and outlaw choices.

My parents now live in Tauranga. I wonder if they were on the hit list? My sister photographed a wedding reception at Phil's place too.

All up though - Tauranga is pretty filled with posers.....and a lot of old people

[LetMeSleep]

A mate from school was from Tauranga. Said its a cracking place. Current footage shows lots of new money.

There's a lot of new development going on up there - and there's an average surf beach there. I like the place, but it's hell around New Years

Rock band AC/DC has expressed surprise at drummer Phil Rudd's arrest over an alleged murder plot, but said it will not affect their plans for a new album or world tour.

A brief statement on the Australian band's official website said they had no prior knowledge of the stunning allegations against Rudd.

"We've only become aware of Phil's arrest as the news was breaking. We have no further comment," it said.

"Phil's absence will not affect the release of our new album Rock or Bust and upcoming tour next year."

[Rangi Guy]

Huh.....

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd's charge of attempting to procure murder has been withdrawn.

Obviously he had the key witnesses killed
