Yeah Phil can keep time. What else can he do?
Count his millions?

Or maybe he can set back and reflect on how he has the easiest and best gig in the world playing the same couple of patterns over and over againCount his millions?

Yeah i agree there, more power to him, no disrespect to Phil or AC/DC, im just saying Phil, PLAY SOMETHING ELSE. I know you do play what the songs need but some more fills or different patterns wouldn't hurt if you can use them in a good way.More power to him.

I was a teen listening to David Garibaldi, Nigel Olssen, BUDDY RICH, Neal Peart, Tommy Aldridge etcccccccccccccccccc.................
When I saw Phil Rudd LIVE in 1978 he put the G in groove!

This argument really could be extended to the whole band. They haven't changed musically since '74. Don't get me wrong....I love 'em...saw them at the start of the year and was blown away. But diverse they ain't....and that's cool. it's what they do and why their die hard fans love 'em.
Yeah dude, you are right. If they were to change anything i dont think their die hard fans would be very happy.

From Mr. Rudd:
"We didn't put anything on there that we didn't like. There's no filler."
Rudd has delivered a very personal album “about the s*** that goes on.
Honestly I dont see any difference at all when Simon Wright or Chris Slade plays the original Rudd songs.....all in pocket deal.
They all pull and push in different places, and Chris Slade's sound in particular is very distinctive because he plays a remote hihat where a ride would normally be and tends to push quite hard both live and on record. The uptempo songs Razor's Edge are a good example of this and the Donington live DVD. Simon Wright also uses a number of quite specific fills that the others don't. As a result the feel isn't the same. Phil's a slightly more laid back player than the other two.
It isn't necessarily better or worse, it's just different. The Young brothers are on record as saying that Chris Slade is the best musician to have ever played in AC/DC and I think they're right to be honest, but Phil fits better.
