In an appearance on the podcast “Talk is Jericho,” hosted by professional wrestler and musician Chris Jericho, Rubin talked about his time working on music with the Australian rock band AC/DC. Despite being a huge fan of the band, Rubin told Jericho that he didn’t have the best time working on AC/DC’s 1995 album “Ballbreaker.”
“My favorite group post-Beatles was AC/DC, and I think they’re the best rock band in the world, of all time. They’re a perfect band. They don’t have the breadth and depth of songwriting that the Beatles have, but for straight-up rock, AC/DC is perfection. So it was another dream-come-true scenario that, I will say, was a difficult process.”
Rubin’s first experience with the Brian Johnson and Angus Young-fronted outfit came during recording sessions for the single “Big Gun,” which was included on the soundtrack for the 1993 movie “Last Action Hero,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both parties were happy with the experiences and decided that the next logical step was to work together on a full-length album. However, it didn’t turn out to be the dream relationship both sides had hoped for.
