We didn’t party together much. AC/DC left the venue as soon as their set was over, to drive to the next town. But I do remember the first time I met Malcolm Young. He came into our dressing room looking for beer, as they’d gotten through their rider in about five minutes. He never said hello, just: ‘Where’s the beer?’ I recall Jimmy Bain muttering something under his breath. The next thing you knew, Jimmy had gone to sit down, and Mal had pulled the chair from under him! But that’s what they were like. Young and brash. They’d had to learn to survive in Australia, and that means you fight for everything.
