Phil Rudd, the drummer for legendary hard rock band AC/DC, has been charged with attempting to have two men killed.

The 60-year-old appeared in a New Zealand court Thursday afternoon facing a count of attempting to procure the murder of two men, said Bay of Plenty Police District representative Kim Perks.

For some reason their song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" comes to mind. :>}

I’m guessing these aren’t the first two...

[Tigerized]

Well.

Did these two guys NEED killin’?

[Charles Martel]

"He was also charged with threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis"

The weed I would expect, but playing with meth at age 60?

Makes sense. By 60, your energy is flagging and your teeth aren't in such great shape either. What's to lose? /S

He’s on the Highway to Hell........................

If Meth is involved, he’ll probably get off lightly.

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap....

[DJ Frisat]

Never been a fan, but not really anti-AC/DC, either. In any case, this hasn’t been a good year for them. First, Malcolm Young stops performing due to dementia, now this.

Tough way to end a band...

Shoot to Thrill

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap....

Sounds like Dirty Deeds and the Dunder Chiefs.

cyanide, TNT, high voltage,Dunder Chiefs.

Always though that although they could rock, AC/DC was
always a little “cheeseball” simpleton garage rock band
who accidentally blundered on to the scene.

[henkster]

How much you want to bet that his plot involved concrete shoes, cyanide, TNT, neckties and high voltage?

[CMS]

If he had to hire someone else to do his Dirty Deeds, I guess he does not have Big Balls

[Boogieman]

I continually amazed that ordinary people think they will get away with “murder for hire”.

If you’re not a career criminal, then you don’t know any “hitmen”, and nobody you hang out with can “hook you up with one”. You’re only going to end up plotting the crime with a police officer and going to jail.

The guy’s a lowlife - thank God they caught him...

Thank God this jerk was caught... may he rot in prison before he rots in hell...

“Back in Orange” just doesn’t have the same ring to it ...
