AC/DC Stand-In Only Had Hour To Learn Songs


. (hennemusic) AC/DC brought in Welsh drummer Bob Richards to stand-in for the absent Phil Rudd when they filmed videos in London in early October for the band's latest album, "Rock Or Bust."

The sessions at Black Island Studios in Middlesex saw the group film the lead single, "Play Ball", on their own on October 3 before being joined the next day by about 500 fans from around the globe for the title track.

Richards explains how he became involved in the video shoot. "I received a call on the Thursday evening asking if I could step in as Phil was unavailable, so I filled in at the last minute," Richards tells Rhythm magazine. "It was all hands on deck. I got my kit sorted out and then an early start to London. I heard the songs an hour or so before we went on to the set to start the filming. I played it over several times and did a bit of air drumming to it."

"The band were fantastic," he continues. "They made me so welcome and we had a great time shooting the videos. They were very encouraging. I could just enjoy the experience." Read more and watch the videos here.
