He was one of the more regular members of the band's rhythm section during 1974, continuing until January 1975 when he was sacked along with Bailey. 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". He was a member of the band during the recording of their debut album [[High Voltage (Australian album)|High Voltage]] but apparently did not contribute much to it, most of the drum parts being recorded by session man [[Past members of AC/DC|Tony Currenti]]. Clack's permanent replacement was [[Phil Rudd]].
