Rob Bailey (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rob Bailey was a bassist with rock band AC/DC. He joined the band in April 1974, joining Malcolm Young (Rhythm Guitar), Angus Young (Lead Guitar), Dave Evans (Lead Vocals) and Peter Clack (Drums).
He was one of the more regular members of the band's rhythm section during 1974, continuing until January 1975 when he was sacked. He appeared in the earliest video footage of AC/DC that has so far emerged, the Last Picture Show Theatre video of "Can I Sit Next To You Girl". After his departure, AC/DC did not have a regular bassist until the arrival of Mark Evans in March 1975; during this time the position was filled by Larry Van Kriedt, Malcolm Young, his older brother George Young, and occasionally by Paul Matters.
Bailey was a member of the band during the recording of their debut album High Voltage, but most, if not all of the bass on the album was played by George Young.
