Chris Slade (AC/DC) playing drums

[@skateordie9628]

what i respect the most is he's doing this show for fun, probably has enough money to last him until the end of the world. The whole AC/DC crew are such humble and genuinely nice people. My favorite Angus quote: "If you play one of our songs and think it's too difficult, you're probably playing it wrong." My favorite Brian quote: "It doesn't bother me at all if you want to call our music 'soft rock', you can call it whatever you like, we will keep doing what we like best"

Watch Chris Slade play "let there be rock" live at Donington 91´. He plays 8´th notes in 15 minutes, at a tempo out of this world. Then you´ll all shut up in here. Music/drumming isn´t all about technic, but timing certainly is! - especially the drums.

[@Diesel0807]

Well he had a very solid tempo on the razor's edge tour, albeit a bit rushed and with no pocket or swung groove, the rock or bust tour the tempos were off and not steady and he played flourishes and shit that doesn't work with acdc the band swings and sounds locked and tight with phil

[@dougieboosterseat2087]

Well said. Drummers sure are cunts aren't we. Don't know why so many drummers go around calling other drummers shit all the damn time. Everyone's got an opinion, but everyone can shove it just the same. Drums are beautiful. Let them be played. Don't be jealous.

[@stevesansum3504]

This man is a powerhouse. Was at donnington 1991.He redeemed AC/DC after Simon Wright.Seeing his smile just from playing 16th’s on the hi -hat for Thunderstruck to over60’000 people and they all jump in unison is one of my all time greatest life moments 💪🤘🥁 Not disrespecting Simon at all, just a time frame reference! Love Fly on the Wall and his snare sound is Brutal That's the way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll😎

[@natashagething1054]

Was simon wright a good drummer for acdc?

[@joseguillermoquiroz4883]

Simon Wright was not the problem, it was a mistake by Angus and Malcolm for becoming producers without previous experience, Simon came just at a bad time that the band simply stopped, it is very unfair to speak as if the fault was his, to me It seems there is not a song that has played badly, Rudd and Slade maybe are better but Simon is not a bad drummer either, not at all.

[@fearthebeard722]

Jose Guillermo Quiroz hate all the flack Simon Wright gets, he was a damn good drummer, far better than Slade. He just came at a bad time when the young brothers took over everything, even the drum scores!

[@GibsonVienna]

@@natashagething1054 Simon was a little bit too fast Drummer for AC/DC. But I think, Simon himself thought he was not the right Drummer for the Band and left the Band for drumming with Dio.

People criticising smh. Say what you like but he was AC/DC's drummer and you were not. Enjoy playing like Vinnie Colaiuta in front of 6 drunks in your local bar.

[@Manuelrost]

That he was the drummer of AC / DC doesn't make him a better drummer either and his Solo is just bad. Look at Eric Moor. Then you know what a good Drummer and a good drumm Solo is!!!

[@ChristopherSackett]

@@Manuelrost Eric Moore is a great drummer. Just because he is doesn't mean Chris Slade isn't.

[@peacefulbliss1]

That's not a good analogy. I doubt Vinnie Colaiuta is playing in front of 6 drunks at your local bar. There are many reasons why a certain guy gets a gig. I will say regardless of how bad this is, (and it is), I have to respect anyone that can get up there and do their thing and he seems like a nice enough fellow.

[@iamnhdrummer0833]

Hey dumbass HE'S PLAYING IN FRONT OF 6 DRUNKS AT A BAR.... AND TERRIBLY

[@fearthebeard722]

Chris slade is terrible, always thought his cymbals at donnington 91 sounded like saucepan lids. And why was he so fast? And by the way, last time I played was in front of 7 drunks and a smackhead, so there!

To those not impressed or to those mindlessly defending him like he was on the top of his game: AGE NATURALLY DESTROYS SKILLS. It's just a sad fact of life. When people get older, they lose much of what made them great when they were younger. Unless you tirelessly keep at it like Vinnie Colaiuta every day (which most professionals simply don't do when they get older), your technique will suffer. The musicality will still be there, but actually doing what you want to do becomes much, much harder. There will come a time when Colaiuta won't sound very good either. He'll know what he wants to play, but won't be able to do it properly. These legends may not have the skills to compete with young musicians today, but they sure had those skills back in their day.

[@christianmartin8992]

Sorry but he was never good

[@QUANTUMMUSIC101]

You are 100% right with your oservation if your talking about players who are using the same principals, drum set ups and regular drum sticks. But there is always something more - more places you can look at to keep fresh and efficient in drumming. Chris Slade is a very influential drummer in my book, but not as much as Steve Gadd or Stewart Copleand. First time I heard Chris Slade is on Manfred Mann's "Nightingales and Bombers" - about 40 years ago. I was very impressedwith his clean drum sound and playing on that album. His ACDC years where quite good too! Check out my KZbin channel - I am constantly working on my set ups and techniques - depending on task and mood of the music. Thank you for your wonderful comment and hope to see you around again!

[@x8nis]

Thank you! Someone actually makes sense around here!

[@BENJIR2D2]

Chris is my favorite person who played in AC/DC. Stand up guy for sure and amazing drummer. I have to give the nod to Rudd but just barely. Slade rocks every time he picks up the sticks.

[@alejandro.isaacg]

@@echeverria1674 You are right about that, and I'm sure you can play, but I'm just pointing out that even if he is not being a "great" drummer in this clip, he still made something that anyone would be proud about; he brought life back to AC/DC back in '89 with his drumming and filled in for them again to play their last tour. I mean, just watch his performance in the Live at Donington DVD; it was outstanding. People have a lot of respect for him, and that is what makes him great.
