Phil Rudd Arrested - attempted to procure murder?!!

"cop this" basically just means "check this out" or "understand this". I think....

Yep.

It's more like 'take that' or 'have this'. You might say 'cop this' before punching someone in the face.

It's also used as 'look at this'

Some people take their bad-assery too seriously. Good thing he hasn't ended up like that guy from As I Lay Dying. That was seriously 'wtf'.

AC DC guitar riffs rule !
Add Bon Scott's lyrics scribbled in a notebook -
and he has an actual statue - Cop This !

Cool interview with Phil in Classic Rock Magazine.

Gotta be the first time I ever heard of an AC/DC member changing their groove.

Has anybody else checked out his solo album? A few gems in a dung heap I'm afraid!

I do quite like this though



Sounds like Motorhead trying to sound like AC/DC

Is the Repo man = the devil -
Some of these lyrics could be directed towards Brian Johnson !
Here is a triva question for you hardcore fans - what AC DC song HAS a swear word in it ?

Does "Damn" count as a swear word? (Rock and Roll Damnation, Damned)

Damn is only a swear word if it's still 1939.

They need to get this guy back.



Oh, I mean THIS guy



Chris Slade did a fine job.

Awesome drummer! He would be a good choice..I think he almost 70 now. I saw him back when he had hair in the late 70's, lol.

He did play a few shows MSG a couple of years ago.. He would get my vote.

Chris Slade ws an awesome drummer fort AC/DC.

Hey Fat Freddy - concerning AC DC songs with a swear word :
I recently bought Highway To Hell CD -
was driving and listening to " If you want Blood " song -
there's a swear in that one too -

Apparently Phil has been out for a while...

Angus Young of AC/DC says his bandmates have not been in touch with Phil Rudd since he was charged with threatening to kill and possessing methamphetamine and marijuana last week.
Young, 59, said in an interview Thursday (Nov. 13) that Rudd's behavior had been somewhat erratic during the recording of their new album.

"Well, we had a few problems. The situation he's in -- that took everyone by surprise. We had a few issues before with him, even when we were recording it was hard even to get to him to do the recording," Young said, sitting in a room with bassist Cliff Williams.
"And then he was supposed to show up to do promos with us, to do video shoots and a few shoots and a few other things, and he never showed up for that either. So, at this stage, it's a pretty tough call for us."

Rudd, who has been with the band on and off for nearly three decades, was released last week. He is expected to appear in court in New Zealand on Nov. 27.
"We haven't had contact," Young said in New York City. "But he has his people that represent him. He's got himself in a pickle."

Phil better get his sh*t together...

AC/DC drummer gets another arrest warrant after arriving late for hearing, enters no plea on threatening to kill charge, then nearly causes road accident
AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd faced a new arrest warrant after arriving at court late to answer a charge of threatening to kill today.

He’d been accused of attempting to procure a murder earlier this month, although that charge was dropped by New Zealand authorities the following day. He could spend up to seven years in jail if found guilty of the charges that remain, including possession of methamphetamine and cannabis.

Rudd, 60, had been ordered to appear at Tauranga High Court at 9am, but failed to arrive in time. Justice Timothy Brewer was in the process of issuing an arrest warrant when the drummer entered the room. The warrant was then dropped.

He entered no plea via attorney Paul Mabey and Justice Brewer ordered the case to be sent down to a lower court, since the most serious charge had been dropped.

On leaving the court, Rudd gestured towards media, jumped on the back of his security guard, then got into his car, which he reversed into the path of an oncoming truck. No collision took place

While they haven't made an "official" statement yet, I can't imagine Phil continuing on with the band at this point. He won't be allowed to leave the country (or enter others I imagine) to tour while all this is going on, right?

I am sure he is fired at this point, thou Brian Johnson made the joke, maybe they won't have to!!

I don't understand how Rudd can get a lengthy sentence for meth when that is a huge business in New Zealand and helping drive their economy right now.
New Zealand is becoming known as the "go-to" place for drugs in that area of the planet.

It's still illegal to possess it, no matter how profitable it may be.

New Zealand
Methamphetamine is a Class "A" or Schedule 1 controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975.[14] The maximum penalty for production and distribution is imprisonment for life. While in theory a doctor could prescribe it for an appropriate indication, this would require case-by-case approval by the director-general of public health. High purity methamphetamine is most commonly referred to by the uniquely New Zealand street name of P, for "pure"

Quote :

Class A:
First Schedule: Very high risk of harm and illegal:
LSD
Heroin
Cocaine
Methamphetamine
Psilocin and psilocybin

Guess it will depend on how much Phil had on him and how badly they want to persecute. Will they give him a slap on the wrist because he's famous or make an example of him and lock him up?

Phil can't seem to stay out of trouble...

According to 3 News, AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd was placed in handcuffs and put into the back of a police car early Thursday morning (December 4) following an incident outside a coffee shop in a shopping center in Gate Pa, New Zealand.

Leo Rojas, the owner of Columbus Coffee in Tauranga, said he witnessed an altercation between Rudd and a unidentified man at about 10:20 a.m.

"I saw him following a taller, bigger guy and trying to punch the guy," Rojas told NZ Newswire.

Rojas said the man was trying to get away from Rudd, telling the drummer, "Look, I don't want to break your face."

He said the man eventually got tired of Rudd's aggressive behavior and pushed the musician away. "[Rudd] literally fell away like a fly," said Rojas.

A third man, believed to be Rudd's bodyguard, tried to break up the fight between the rocker and the taller man by holding the drummer back.

"That's when Phil started punching and kicking his own bodyguard, which I found funny," said Rojas.

Rudd was taken to court where his lawyer acknowledged that the rocker breached his bail agreement by having contact with complainants and police witnesses named in the police charge sheets in his upcoming trial. The judge set a new bail that called for a new condition in which Rudd is not allowed to consume illegal drugs. Crown solicitor Greg Hollister-Jones said he sought this extra condition because Rudd's behavior had been erratic and it would help to manage his complacence with all his bail conditions.

The musician's lawyer said of the Thursday morning incident: "It was a meeting with somebody he wasn't meant to associate with in a shop. It was a chance meeting and then there was contact from that."
