It could well be both. I think he mentioned that nobody checked up on him and I guess they are mad for having to cancel in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAU3R Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Band is reported to be rehearsing in London, this is Angus on Wednesday. First public appearance since the last Power Up interviews in early 2021! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAU3R Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 There’s talk on the AC/DC forum that for some reason (maybe health, maybe visa issues) Phil won’t be able to make the Power Trip show. The rumour is fueled by the band picture being removed from the PT website. Simon Wright is rumored to stand in for Phil. would be a bummer and I hope that it’s just visa issues and nothing health related so IF they come to Europe the Rudd will be in the chair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Brian being back is a big thing obviously and the casuals won’t care who’s on drums, but the whole idea of the reunion after Mal passed was getting the OG boys back together one more time to honor Malcolm. If there a show or even a small tour without Phil it’s just like ROB tour all over again… Also will Cliff be there if Phil isn’t? He retired after ROB because he said it was a different animal… And from a musical standpoint no one comes close to Phil in terms of swing and feeling, even though Simon would probably be a better fit than Chris Slade imo Anyways let’s see what Power Trip brings I’m still excited that they will be performing again even though this rumour diminished my excitement a bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I feel the the AC/DC forum is always rolling with some sort of "Simon Wright is returning!" rhetoric. I thought that place was going to implode when Slade showed up at the Grammy's in 2015. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny Simon was on what I consider to be AC/DC's weakest album (Fly On The Wall), and Blow Up Your Video, which is a mid-to-decent record, while Chris got in when AC/DC got back in the spotlight with Razor's Edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I won't get mad if Simon shows up to perform at the Power Trip festival. As for the future, Angus could divide AC/DC into a studio band and a live band. The studio band would include all members from the ROB line-up while the live band would have a different drummer or bassist.

Chris was great in the 90s but didn’t sound that good on ROB tour (imo at least). Since then he’s had a stroke and he’s 76 now. There’s recent videos of him playing drums showing, that he’s just not capable of playing with AC/DC anymore. Simon is only 60 so he might bring a bit more energy to the band. Also his groove is similar to Phil. If Phil can’t make it, Simon would be the right choice imo. Also I don’t believe the drummers in AC/DC have any say when it comes to songwriting, recording or producing. That’s all up to the Youngs (or just Angus these days) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Matt Laug (who played with Slash's Snakepit) will be the drummer - confirmed by AC/DC on their Instagram rehearsal clip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
