MrWorldwide Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Not sure if this has already been reported, but it hasnt been a good year for Acker-Dacker - http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29439423 Angus aka the World's Oldest Schoolboy, still seems healthy despite a chain-smoking habit that doesnt seem to stop for anything other than sleep and onstage aerobics. I liked the live album they put out with Bon all those years ago, but now it's a bit like U2 or the Stones - far too predictable for my tastes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 AC/DC drummer charged with murder plot in New ZealandWELLINGTON (AFP) - The drummer with legendary rock band AC/DC, Phil Rudd, was accused Thursday of trying to hire a hitman to kill two men after police raided his luxury New Zealand home.Police swooped on the veteran rocker’s waterfront house at Tauranga in the North Island in the early hours and charged him with "attempting to procure murder" and threatening to kill.They also charged the 60-year-old with possessing methamphetamine and cannabis after allegedly finding the drugs in his property, Tauranga District Court was told.Court officials confirmed Rudd, a long-time member of one of the world’s highest grossing bands, was granted bail and ordered to reappear on November 27.He looked tired and tousled as he appeared in court shoeless and wearing a baggy grey jumper, with his lawyer unsuccessfully arguing that media should not be allowed to take images of him because they just wanted to capture his client "at his worst".He was not required to enter a plea during his brief appearance but court documents reveal he is accused of trying to organise a hitman to kill two men in late September, although judge Louis Bidois suppressed the identities of those involved.Rudd, who has played on hits including "Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap" and "Highway to Hell", refused to comment after leaving court and was driven away in a silver Mercedes Benz.Under New Zealand law, attempting "to procure any person to murder any other person" is punishable by up to 10 years in jail, while threatening to kill can attract a seven-year sentence. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2014-11-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
