Ex-AC/DC Singer Claims He Got Kicked Out For Being Too Good With The Ladies

Dave Evans

AC/DC's original frontman Dave Evans says being too popular with the ladies got him kicked out of the rock band.

Evans recently went public with the excuse after curious fans were left pondering his 1974 dismissal for decades.

The former frontman told the Blasting Zone that band members were not talking to him and he even beat up the band manager to find out how their money was being drained. But he says jealousy was the real reason behind his termination.

"Some guys get jealous if you're getting too many girls and the other guys are missing out," Evans said. "I didn't really pay too much attention to it, but is just started getting worse and worse until the end where I was virtually going out without them."

He says after a scrap with the band's manager and being snubbed by his bandmates, he decided to leave the band. A band meeting was called one night after a gig, "I really didn't have to say anything, really. They just decided that I was out and said 'Here's your ticket back to Melbourne for tomorrow morning.'"

Evans nursed his ego by becoming lead singer of the band Rabbit. He knows this band's attire of tights boots and braces came before Kiss' costuming. He also knows that he was just as popular with the ladies as a member of Rabbit.

"When we first started playing, a lot of the young girls... and I'm talkin' about the young ones... used to come to the shows with the biggest, bright orange carrots you've ever seen," Evans boasted. " I'm tellin' ya... if that isn't phallic, then I don't know what is."
