He played on 3 albums in the mid to late 1980s.

@Bovidae cool, seemed pretty down to earth. Told a cool story about when he auditioned, he answered an ad in a music mag. It said "if you dont hit hard, don't apply".
He turned up, was told to play 3 songs, an ACDC one plus 2 non-ACDC ones. Had no idea who he was auditioning for.
Got a call 3 hours later, saying could he come back tmrw. He said no, had no cash to get back. The dude said don't worry, get a cab, we'll cover it.
Got to the studio, saw a bunch of kit labelled ACDC amd freaked out a bit. Got shown into the recording room where the band was chatting. He said to Malcolm "hey, does this mean I'm in the band?". Malcolm shrugs and says to him "I guess so".
Good stuff that.

ACDC have great audition stories. Didn't Brian Johnson actually miss his because he was too busy down stairs in the waiting area drinking beers and playing pool with the crew guys? And that pretty much cemented him getting the gig

Went to one of the best gigs I've ever seen last night - Shonen Knife at the Whammy Bar in Auckland.
Been listening to a bunch of their newer stuff all day, like this

@Machpants I'm sure it'a direct contradiction to earlier top 5 posts, but this song is one my fave evers.
Made famous by the covers band "Mama Said" which played at the JBC bar opposite the outback in Hamilton ... usually played right after "Same in the end" by Sublime
Good times.
