AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd was arrested in New Zealand yesterday, on the charges that he hired a hit man to kill two innocent people. We're just wondering … was that Dirty Deed Done Dirt Cheap? Sorry, had to. Had to. 

Phil was About to Rock on his murder plans when police raided his house early yesterday morn' after an anonymous person tipped them off that he was up to something shady. Police were Thunderstruck when the raid also revealed he was in possession of meth and weed.

The legendary drummer was arraigned and released to a blonde woman who drove him away in a silver Mercedes convertible … probably in slow motion … probably while "Jailbreak" played over the din of passing cars. He received no more penance other than a hearty suggestion from the judge that he not communicate with anyone involved in the hit.

That same judge  is refusing to release the names of the people he tried to whack until there's a trial, so for now, we'll just have to be content thinking it was Angus Young and Brian Johnson. Or Harry an Lloyd from Dum and Dummer. Or both the cat and the dog that make up CatDog. Who knows. Meth, amiright?

It's also unclear whether Phil arranged for the hit man to Shoot to Thrill with a Big Gun, or if he had planned something a little more old school like strangling or High Voltage to do the job.

The other members of AC/DC issued a statement about the incident saying that all the Phil drama was weird, but it wouldn't affect their plans to release their forthcoming album, Rock or Bust next month.

Phil was part of the original AC/DC lineup, but moved to New Zealand when the band dumped him in 1983. Although he made amends and rejoined the band in 1994, and recorded on Rock or Bust, he was conspicuously absent from a recent video shoot and wasn't pictured in a recent promotional photo released by AC/DC.

But whether his sudden disappearance from the band is related to his murderous plot or not, one thing's clear though … Phil definitely has Big Balls.

Here he is in 1977, a whole bunch of years before he tried to kill everyone!
