  Phil Rudd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phillip Hugh Norman Rudd (born Phillip Hugh Norman Witschke Rudzevecuis on May 19, 1954 in Melbourne, Australia) played drums in the rock band AC/DC from 1975 until 1983, and again from 1994 until the present.
Rudd played in several bands in Melbourne before joining The Colored Balls with future Rose Tattoo vocalist Angry Anderson.
AC/DC's former bassist Mark Evans (1975-1977) was recently quoted comparing Rudd to the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, in that they were both born to play for their respective bands.

 Phil Rudd - Drum Solo Artist
Phil made his name with The Colored Balls, a skinhead band formed by guitarist Lobby Lloyd and singer Angry Anderson (who went on to form Rose Tatoo), which terrorised the club circuit during the early Seventies with a ferocious brand of yob-rock.
Two singles ('Liberate Rock' and 'Mess Of Blues') were the only recognised fruits of Phil Rudd's time with Colored Balls who, in 1974, changed their name to Buster Brown and went on to record one album ('Something To Say') for the indie Mushroom Records later the same year.
His style of drumming is the most equivalent to the style of the rest the band members, which makes their reasons for asking him to rejoin after his violent struggle with drugs and alcohol obvious.
