Keeping On, Keeping On - ACDC

Keeping On, Keeping On
ACDC

ACDC kept an increasingly relaxed performance schedule through the 80's, only touring to promote each new album release. There were also some unforseen circumstances. In 1983, drummer Phil Rudd left the band to become a helicopter pilot in New Zealand and was replaced by Simon Wright who was shortly replaced by Chris Slade. Phil Rudd returned to the line-up in 1994. When Malcolm Young was unable to tour with the band in 1988 his cousin, Steve Young stepped in. Paul Greg also filled in for Cliff Williams on the US leg of their 1991 tour.
Post Back in Black hit albums are as follows.. 1981 - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, 1990 - The Razor's Edge, 1995 - Ballbreaker and their first release of the 21st century, Stiff Upper Lip.
Thirty years on, AC/DC continues to give the fans what they want. Through it all, they’ve never lost the common touch - the sense that the band and their audience were interchangeable, and that both were celebrating the joyful jolt of electricity provided by good, hard, uncompromising rock and roll.
