Former AC/DC Drummer Chris Slade Gives Matt Laug His Stamp Of Approval

Former AC/DC drummer Chris Slade has taken to social media to voice his support for the band’s new live drummer Matt Laug. Slade described Laug as a “very capable, teetotal drummer.”

Slade said the following:

“I know Matt as a very nice guy from my days of living in California. He is a very capable, teetotal drummer and will put the drums exactly where Angus [Young] wants them….. At the back of the stage. I wish him the best of luck!”

He later added:

“An update to my last post and in answer to some people who seem to have misunderstood and made comments which have inferred the contrary. I am not bitter or ‘whining’ and neither did I expect a call from ACDC. I merely wanted to say that I know Matt well and he will do an admirable job, because I knew alot of you would ask me!! Apologies for my stupid sense of humour, which some of you didn’t get ….. My position in any band in 60 years has always been sitting down at the back of the stage…… CHEERS! Slade”
