His book, Rockers And Rollers: An Automotive Autobiography, is out now Dont drive when youre listening to Shoot To Thrill from the Back In Black album. You will get a ticket. Its vicious... I heard a story that once you drove nine miles backwards... Absolutely true. It was bloody awful, I couldnt even think about doing it today. It was in a sit-up-and-beg Ford Popular. My girlfriend lived in a cul-de-sac. I had to back out and the bloody thing wouldnt get out of reverse, it was jammed solid. I drove through Newcastle, down to the quayside, across a bridge and took every little back alley I knew. It was getting dark and I couldnt see a thing; my neck was knackered. Whats the fastest youve gone on a race track? On the back straight of Sebring [in Florida], you can get up to about 180 or 190mph. Youd do yourself a lot of damage if you didnt stop in time, mate. Whats the worst crash youve had? At Road Atlanta [a racetrack] in Georgia. I had a Cortina Mark One, I had slick tyres on and no windscreen wipers and we had a downpour of monumental proportions. I went straight into the bridge. And it hurt. What was going through your mind? Ive had a good life, I cant complain. A strange calmness came over me you wouldnt think so if you saw the video filmed inside the car. Im spinning the wheel, but nothing happens when youre aquaplaning. I remember my ass was going like a rabbits nose. Whats been your best placing in a race? First! Weve had a few visits to the podium and I enjoyed it a lot. I like to shake the champagne and give it a spray. Theres a thing in racing called DFL thats dead f***ing last, Ive never been that, thank Christ. In a race at Silverstone, I went into the gravel trying to avoid Sir Les Ferdinand. That was the only race I didnt finish. Whats your favourite car? The Bentley 4.5litre. When you climb in, you know youre one of the very few men who have been lucky Is it true you wouldnt have got the job with AC/DC if you hadnt got appendicitis? I didnt have appendicitis, it was something else. Bon saw me in either Grimsby or Hull and I went down kicking and screaming. He thought it was part of the act and reported it to the boys. So youre right in a way it did help. Did you once call Chuck Berry the biggest piece of s*** youd met in your life? No I called him a c*** thats different. I did change it cos it was a bit rude, but he wasnt a very nice person. Wed been with him all week and, as he was leaving, I asked him for his autograph and he said no. Then he told someone I was Scottish and that really did it. Im a Geordie so thats kinda English, even if not fully English. Is this your last tour with AC/DC? I dont know, ask my body. I dont want to go on if I am not fit. I dont want people feeling sorry for me thinking: Are you going to finish the show or are you going to drop? enough to get their hands on one. The driving is so special, it gives you fulfilment cos its a hard bugger double de-clutch and bang away like an old tart doing the weekly wash. Whats the best driving rock anthem? Whatever you do, dont drive when youre listening to Shoot To Thrill from the Back In Black album. You will get a ticket. Its vicious a great driving song. Where is the Highway To Hell? It was written about being on the bus on the road where it takes forever to get from Melbourne or Sydney to Perth across the Nullarbor Plain. When the Suns setting in the west and youre driving towards it, it is like a fire ball. There is nothing to do, except have a quick one off the wrist or a game of cards, so thats where Bon [Scott] came up with the lyrics. The Christians in America think it means something else, but theyre just f***ing dumb. 14 metrolife Thursday, October 29, 2009 index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
