Phil Rudd Escapes Assault Charges

I met Phil once in 1990 at a BBQ on a farm next door to his home in New Zealand. He said he considered Led Zep to be the best band of all time. But that AC/DC were definatly 2nd.
Life wasn't going to well for Phil at the time. He wasn't used to not making money and was virtually bankrupt by the time he rejoined the band. I think a big reason for rejoining was the need for serious cash. His neighbour told me they had towed all his cars away.
Regarding allegedly beating his (ex)wife. Hey, it goes with the lifestyle.Drugs and booze played a big part in their lives. It wasn't the first time. It's common knowledge where he lives that he one chased her down the road in his car and tried to run her over.
She is a Kiwi girl and apparently once played netball for the national team. So...Seriously great legs!
I'm pleased to see him back in the band. It was a shame to see him going to wrack and ruin. He is definately the best drummer they had.

From what I understand he bumped her with his chest, and put his fist in her face and threatened her. They were arguing about money after she she came to pick the kids up. Sounds like it got blown way out of proportion for him to have charges filed against him, unless there is a history of this kind of behavior from him.

All that matters to me is how he plays. Plus everyone does sh#t like this so why do we pay so much attention to when a famous guy does it. Like if I say A$$ no one cares then The President says it and everyone start losing their minds. It's a strange world out here. Remember famous people are just like us.
