 Ex-AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has told Bay Of Plenty Times that he is open to returning to his former band but that he is currently focusing on his solo career.

 
"If Angus [Young, AC/DC guitarist] wanted me to play, then that is up to him... but I don't really want to play with Axl Rose [current AC/DC touring vocalist]... I don't really rate him."
 
Rudd added: "Geoffrey [Spencer, who plays in Phil's solo band] is a great guitarist, just as good as Malcolm [Young, retired AC/DC guitarist], [and even] better than [him], if you ask me."
 
The 62-year-old rocker, who lives in Tauranga, New Zealand, also revealed that he recently suffered a heart attack but that he is "good now, got a stent inside.''
 
"I was just at home walking around at home, and I started feel, well, just funny," he said. "You know how you can feel funny? I had a strange pain in my chest. So my housekeeper took me to the hospital, when they hooked me up and did all these tests turned out I had a big heart attack...my artery was all blocked up, and they said I had to stay in and have an operation.
 
"I sneaked out to the shop to get some cigarettes, then I realized I had no car, so I walked home to get the Ferrari, and drove back to the hospital."
