STEPHEN Inglis is ready for AC/DC to shake him all night long when they perform in Perth next weekend.
Mr Inglis’s Belmont home is a shrine to the Aussie rockers.
Every room is heaving with band paraphernalia, including branded jigsaw puzzles, stools, cushions, signed records, banners and plaques. A signed drum set takes pride of place in his kitchen.
“I’ve collected ever since I was a kid,” Mr Inglis, 48, said.
A removalist and self-confessed “bogan”, he wears AC/DC labelled clothing every day.
And he is amped to attend two of their shows in Perth and two in Melbourne, after already seeing the band perform in Sydney this month.
“After seeing them in Sydney, I’m jumping out of my skin for the Perth show,” he said.
“It’s all old stuff they played and a couple of the new songs, but mainly the old stuff because that’s what people want to see.”
Mr Inglis has previously attended nine AC/DC concerts.
He has taken his cardboard guitar, which he made in the late 80s, to most of the concerts.
Held together with sticky tape, it has seen better days.
Mr Inglis was an extra in the 2004 movie Thunderstruck, filmed in WA about some AC/DC fans, after gatecrashing the set dressed as guitarist Angus Young.
“Once the production crew saw me they said ‘you’re exactly what we’re looking for’,” he said.
Mr Inglis said he met AC/DC backstage at the Burswood Superdome in 1996.
