10 Best Replacement Members In Hard Rock Bands

10. Phil Rudd (AC/DC)

The only Australian-born member of the veteran Australian hard rock outfit for many years, the drummer's motoring presence beneath the riffs of the Young brothers and the wails of both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson was the bedrock for many years - but he isn't the man behind the kit on their first domestic album.

The original version of High Voltage was instead laid down with then-member Peter Clack - at least for one track, before the rest of the record was completed with session player Tony Currenti. Rudd has spent time out of the band since his arrival too, most recently sitting out their Rock or Bust Tour when he was replaced by Welshman Chris Slade.
