Chris Slade - Drum solo

[@eg4752]

73 and still beating the drums amazing glad I saw him on tour hes a beast

[@davestratton460]

I like the way you make them drums talk. Thanks Chris.

[@timn6864]

I challenge anyone who doubts Slade to watch Let there be Rock live at donington. Absolutely amazing .. he's a metronome

[@arnaudm4898]

i just watched it for the 10000 time :). Crazy performance

[@MasterChief37]

He’s a hell of a lot better than Rudd

[@dukenukem5197]

He was a great drummer back then, before the 2000's, but his age cought him.. maybe even health issues. Have seen him live solo recently.. absolute catastrophy :( The rock or bust tour already was not good anymore but now.. he obviously doesn't care about ruin his legacy.

[@bbjazzmanjazzman7721]

BBjazzman (50 +yrs various percussion and drumming):"Any Hard Rock drummer can slap the hell outta the drum for 15 minutes without swing or feel and keep time, most of the listeners aren't musicians , they won't really know or care ".. IMHO..Chris Slade Sounds like a Trainwreck every time I've heard and seen him, wasted my time and my concert ticket money.. someone here posted better than Rudd??? YEAH right.. he's so great he was permanently canned from ACDC.. Angus: yes well,sometimes things happen ya know.. it's what we're do for the time being.. Malcolm:..Phil has that swing and feel.. that's what's missing with other drummers we've played with.. he's just always been the perfect drummer.. he's like a machine..

[@missfittrr]

AWESTRUCK!

Glad he's back. Love him since 1991. Thunderstruck my favorite (the power in that theme is overwhelming)

El sonido que le imprime es fantastico , el mejor baterista que tuvo acdc. CHRIS UNA LEYENDA.

[@tonyburton4656]

I remember seeing him at st. George's hall in Bradford with Manfred mann's earth band. And I have been a fan ever since he is magic as far as I am concerned that was way back in the seventies.

[@SGMKnight]

Glad he is back with AC/DC

[@guesthouse4992]

he is like Angus he really feel the rock inside him

[@malcolmlongaker580]

not anymore, lol. PHIL IS BACK

[@olivierv.1675]

J'adore. A 68 ans, il repart avec AC/DC. Une merveille !

[@marieasurvivor6104]

I just love him❤

[@sampasierb9428]

Cut him some slack he is in his 70s I think and he is doing that good damn

[@wesyale2887]

Oh my God, guys; just because this isn't Neil Peart, it doesn't mean it is not a good solo. Slade doesn't need a spinning drumset and electric pads. He's a classic jazz and rock drummer and it a legend in his own style and right.

[@iBaraban]

that's hell lot of rock in one solo! me likey!

[@IvanVonPRAG]

Great drummer! Welcome back to AC/DC!

[@85Aheadstix]

damn.. he's actually better than i thought with dynamics.

[@nathanjoerndt8804]

you should look up let there be rock! no way i could keep up like he did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

[@apieceofdirt4681]

Chris Slade may not be flashy or technically proficient but he’s a good solid, powerful player. If I had to choose between Phil Rudd or Chris Slade as an AC/DC drummer I’d choose Chris because his drumming style isn’t lazy. Chris knows how to add some extra spice here and there without overplaying or tampering with AC/DC’s simplistic yet steady formula. Aside from the fact that he’s almost 74 years old and he plays (played?) for one of the best rock bands in the history of the planet, from what I’ve read about him I like the guy. He’s a genuinely good person who doesn’t blow off fans like a lot of other famous artists do so he’s cool in my book.

[@basscourband]

I met him twice and going to see him tonight live... he's a really nice simple guy. And he rocks the place when you give him sticks and a drumkit...

[@Sk8Vader]

He has a big presence.

[@johnnycammo2605]

fantastic, what a great guy too

[@antoniomiguelvilchezgarcia6943]

BRUTAL !! 👌✌🤘

[@klistarf]

Despite what some here might think, that was a great solo. Very rudimentary but, hey, aren't they all, one way or the other. A helluva lot of 'feel' in this, which is what really makes it, for me anyway. Nice one, Chris! Good work... \m/ (:o)

[@JohnBraman413]

didn't he also play in the firm with jimmy page and paul rodgers?

[@rickshortridge494]

Even after the stick drop still fucking amazing

[@tejaml]

this guy is soooo smooth........!!!!!

[@RoryLynott]

Drumming isn't always about speed and double bass. I certainy dig Slade. Lots of power, precision and an unreal sense of rhythm.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Check him out doing chills and fever in 1965 with Tom Jones, he was brilliant back then too.

[@sergiymatis]

Best Drummer in the world!

[@keithfinsley330]

Troy oo, I totally agree! Not bad for a 65 year old man that I'm sure has seen more drumming action than the likes of ShaZAM514.

[@ccrvzztop1994]

ENORME !!!!!!!!!! Chris Slade

[@totigerus]

Are those Gretsch toms with Pearl mounts?

[@aswedishtributetoacdc]

The toms are Pearl Masters customs, i think he got those drums when he was with ASIA.

[@frettamohetta7326]

I love all of these comments about how he is a great drummer LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First off, to be a great drummer, you have to be very versatile, play any genre, have great technique, be able to perform RUDIMENTS instead of just throwing off singles everywhere, have a great meter and have some creativity and/or originality. Chris Slade is an AVERAGE ROCK DRUMMER AT BEST. That's it. For the amount of time he's been playing, the experience he has, the time and money he has at his expense to practice and hone his craft, I wouldn't even say that he's good, never mind great. Session drummers and the best drummers of today have raised the bar to such levels that Chris sounds like a 3 year old just picking up the sticks. No offense to any Chris Slade fans but that solo was fucking brutal.

[@ahstij4628]

Do you know that he has played with variety of artists including Asia and Tom Jones?

[@rickdavis3593]

+Fretta Mohetta What band are you touring with?

[@frettamohetta7326]

Rick Davis I'm retired now. I was touring from 2001 to 2007. I had a full endorsement with Sabian and Tama. Things didn't work out because of irreconcilable differences and I didn't have it in me to start over at 33 when I worked my whole life to get to that point (deal with BMG, endorsements, working with Steve Thompson and other big name producers, touring independently and with festivals such as The Warped Tour, playing to 30,000 people). Now, I realize that I didn't achieve the success that Slade did but that does not mean that he is a great drummer, just a great businessman. I would drum circles around him with one hand. That solo was ridiculously basic, boring, lacking technique and originality and it actually sounds like the first solo I ever did when I first picked up the sticks at age 11. For someone with his money and resources, he should be honing his craft and taking pride in it. That solo sounded like he was just doing his job, predictable and fucking lame. Like he almost hates going to work. No passion, no emotion. He's terrible and whoever thinks that he's amazing clearly have never heard of drummers like Felix Lehrmann, Gergo Borlai, Benny Greb, Ramon Samson and Eric Moore.

[@themasterress]

nobody cares about you even if you played drums at the bottom of the Mariana Trench nobody would still care about you

[@whathappenedtoandrae5676]

[@PeterHBne1]

I saw him with acdc in the 90s up close. He is a shit hot drummer and served acdc very well.

[@firstmusic00]

Didn't Chris play opened handed with the hat on the right side at one time?

[@acdcportugal]

Yes, when he was with AC/DC

[@firstmusic00]

Francisco Faria Thanks. I didn't think I was losing my mind!

[@steveglasscock]

[@srenjohansen1592]

Playing drums in AC/DC is not that hard. Okay there are many tempos in their song, but you don't need to be Mike Portnoy. Phil Ruud plays the grooves so tight and that is his signature. No need for multiple fills. Chris Slade has been a stand in for Phil many times, but he does basically the same thing as Phil.

[@traviswoodall6547]

This guy sure likes those singles doesn't he? I mean he really has that down. Proof that if u can keep time you don't have to be good to find a band.

[@devilinc.6640]

Nobody cares about what you saying either. He is a part of AC/DC, so just accept it. Show me Phil Rudd's solo

[@johnbrown8740]

Solos don't mean shit if you can't lay it down steady like a frieght train for and extended period behind a song as part of a good rhythm section like Phil is flawlss at doing. He has that swing and groove that is part of the guts of the ACDC sound. Brian himself said in an interview a long time ago after one of Phils absences from the band that when he came back he said, yeagh with Phil back... That's ACDC. Unless there's some kind of intelligent reflection and reasoning behind what you have to say... Shut the fuck up. Have a nice day : D
