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"
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😎
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.
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!
@@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.
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.
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
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.
I grinned the whole time watching this.. he may not be Larnell Lewis but he embodied the joy of playing that got me into the drums in the first place back in the early 70's. The dude is rock solid! ..and THAT is EXACLTY what AC/DC needed from a drummer to be one of the TOP stadium rock bands of all time !
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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 UA-cam 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!
Have to remember he's in his 70's now. He does have a persona about him when he plays in band. Notice he has double bass pedal. He's not a double bass original. First time I saw chris was pebble mill BBC 1982/ 3 with gary numan. Looked the part there with the new stoccata kit and his hat on. Love you chris
@Hemanth RVN Jesus christ are you as drunk as he is???? This is horrible look as his technique!!! And their happy cause they have no idea what drums are lol
No musician is inspired to play their best 24/7. Much harder for a drumner or bass player, than other instruments. With a harmonic instrument, a guitar for instance, you always have a no brainer standard to fall back on.
@@echeverria1674 Still, no one knows about you; the guy in the video? Chris Slade, AC/DC's drummer from 1989 to 1994, one studio album, one live album, and Phil Rudd's replacement for the Rock or Bust tour... You get it now?
@@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.
He played straight 8th notes on a hit hat for nearly 20 minutes when playing let there be rock, no, these other people would never be able to do better
Bah oui un grand batteur Avec ce frise tribal qui nous plaît tant dans ACDC et qui a plu tout de suite aux frères Young après avoir auditionné plus de 100 batteurs Donc respect ! Que demander de plus

WOW 🥰 WOW🥰 HE PLAYS THE WHOLE DRUM KIT!!! HOT STUFF!!
Keep in mind that this guy was the drummer of the best bands in the world.
still is
Hes got a pretty decent resume'. David Gilmour and Jimmy Page both wanted him for their bands. At the same time. Ha
*is
i would say rush is the best band of all time
@@AL3X1KUS agreed
You are a machine, you are a machine! Chris is for me the best Drummer Acdc ever hat.

Johnny sins of drums
Best comment 👍

What is that supposed to mean
😂😂😂
Haha you just won the internet
I thought he was trying to do the 20th Century Fox theme at one point! XD

King of the single stroke 8ths🤣
I was thinking the same
chris man ur awesome
I respect the Man, hes had a lifetime of dealing with the shit Rock n. Roll brings him, his solo was magnificient.
his hands move so fuckin fast it looks like he has 10 hands!!! he is the best of the fucking world
Cool uncle, I like such drummers and power and conciseness!
I love this man!
crazy..this guy is a legend
Chris plays for the firm. Great 1st lp. Getting to play for page and young. Top notch
I love how he just goes for it
Ok he’s gonna be good. Lamp tapping moment told me everything.
Chris Is Awesome
Samsung 9505 78 Nicholas
Super Mad 5000 yeah fuck the negative jealous critics chris is awsome and yes he looks like he is having fun
oh yeah is an awesome drummer!!
He sucks! No wonder AC/DC music was so easy to play!
Eu adoro esse cara, deveria ter estado em uma banda que realmente tivesse dado o devido valor, baterista maravilhoso!!!
Impressive, thanks Chris.
The best drummer in ACDC band
Молодец! Дай Бог здоровья! Люблю смотреть концерты с его участием.
Hi, Chris, you magnificent beast.
In ALL his AWESOMENESS!
I LOVE this! Wish I could rip up the drums like this. So much fun!
You can. Just go bang on ANY drum set right now and you'll do this lol
Bravo, Chris, Bravo!!!
He's great!
For someone who knows jack about drumming, just wished I could do that! good to watch 👍🏻
What a beast!
Chris-super drummer!
Of the thousands of drummers I have seen Chris Slade is definitely one of them.
Now, close your eyes. How many drummmers do you hear? As many as your imagination can handle.
В 71 ой как не просто играть на ударных! Уважение Крису!
Легендарный мужик. Особенно поражает его энергия в клипе thunderstruck
This guy can play!
The boy can play that was sick
Like his earlier work with Manfred Mann's Earth Band, and The Firm.
Todo-poderoso Chris Slade!!! 3:40 a 3:59 ele mostra o que poucos podem fazer!!!
hes so fucking fast the sticks look like a blurr amazing
Cute red head in the plaid shirt
He sold 1000 records for each hit with the drumsticks, haters shut up
IDOLOOO...

What I like about Chris Slade is he looks like he is having fun./
Awesome
This guy has good feel and can play rock and roll, keep him out of the solo business, not for everyone.
@Hemanth RVN Jesus christ are you as drunk as he is???? This is horrible look as his technique!!! And their happy cause they have no idea what drums are lol
@Hemanth RVN look at his snare rolls. Fingers off sticks... this is beginner shit.
Agreed..
All drum solos suck Imo. Drums only sound good when played in a proper song.
@@rockista4195 there only used by some bands to give the singer a break but I don't like them.
Chris, SEI IL NUMERO 1,CIAO DALL'ITALIA... MAESTRO👍👍👍
He's the best drummer ACDC ever had.
Donington 91 stated that
Nope
Phil rudd is better
Phil rudd was/is/will be the best drummer for ACDC. As my great drum teacher said..."The best 2 and 4 in the world"
Chris Slade made the band song like a thrash metal band. AC/DC is and will always remain a rock band.
@@alertecobra27 cant say trash ı mean they did razors edge whit him but ı love phil rudd more
This got to be one of the best drum solos that I have ever heard.
Rescuer 41 Haha best comment
Haha
Troll much ??
Chris still rocks
Besides being an amazing drummer, He would make an excellent character in a future MAD MAX movie....
Как здорово, до мурашек.
Nice performance. Much more than meets the eye.
Insane!!!!!
No musician is inspired to play their best 24/7.
Much harder for a drumner or bass player, than other instruments.
With a harmonic instrument, a guitar for instance, you always have a no brainer standard to fall back on.
Proud to be able to play his songs
Chris Slad the best drumer
Un grande Chris slade !
Chris Slade, you bloody rock !!!@

This is real talent
The force is strong in him
Fantástico 👻
Genio!!
Chris is a master player, reminds me of me, same enthusiasm
What a machine
m.man.earth band..the roaring silen album he is a legent drummer.
Whoa what did not know that Slade could dmyse double kicks wow!!!! 😍
Да чего же он хорош. Гениально.
Great
Bah oui un grand batteur
Avec ce frise tribal qui nous plaît tant dans ACDC et qui a plu tout de suite aux frères Young après avoir auditionné plus de 100 batteurs
Donc respect !
Que demander de plus
Fue el mejor baterista d acdc d lejos ...
O cara é bom, ac/dc
love this guy all the way back to manfred manns earth band!!
Un grand músico.
The Best of the World
Oldschool!!!!!! \m/
Wow 😎🤘
Cara esse é mestre na batera faz falta ac DC
saw him with the firm in austin texas......around 86-87
Агонь помню его молодыМ!
Yo tengo el disco en vinyl de Manfred Mann "Glorified Magnified" donde Chris Slade toca la bateria
that girl watching is funny ! Shes so interested
She's probably a great drummer.👍
Chris slade looks like the drummer from AC/DC
Chris was so good that Jimmy Page and Paul Rogers had him join The Firm to kick some ass.
Chris played with Tom Jones so he is not a young man however he has a special attitude
Look at how old he is smh. He killed it🔥
крис лучший,это легенда
Chris Slade played with Gilmour and AC/DC among many other greats. Was also asked to play for Elvis.
В 90-е он был лучший!!!
Chris Slade 👉 Simply Monster On 👉 "Drums"🎼🎶🎵😎👊
not to shabby.
