Popular Post James Bond Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 Seriously. He'll be 71 this year and could easily be taking some much needed rest after the Rock Or Bust Tour. Instead, he's out doing shows with his Timeline band (which he also sings backing vocals). I don't think he's going anywhere. This man will be in the road until he drops. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADDOGJONES Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 He's great anyway, but for 71, fuck me, he's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Chris Slade is the best drummer AC/DC has ever had. I know I was campaigning hard for Simon Wright to come back when it was clear Phil was out, but that was more for setlist reasons - I can honestly say it would've fallen far below the standard Slade has set, again. Both his stints in the band have produced some of the very best AC/DC live performances ever. Bring it Phil fans - he ain't as good as Slade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 It is a very inspiring thing, I often wonder that what the hell will happen to me when I am 70 and I look at Slade and go WOW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both his stints in the band have produced some of the very best AC/DC live performances ever. Bring it Phil fans - he ain't as good as Slade. He is an excellent drummer, very clever how he puts his spin on the songs, more bpm, and he's always busy on the kit! I play drums myself, and there is something to be said for letting the songs breathe though, Rudd stays in 4x4 time, as a drummer you want to progress, speed up / slow down, throw in Tom rolls. It's not that he cant do that, but his discipline in that is amazing. I'm glad Chris has a second chance, was rooting for him! The breathing in the songs is also causing uproar at the moment in Guns, Frank adds fills that are not there on Estranged for example. Sorum let the song flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Don't get me wrong, Slade is fucking awesome too but I could never say I prefer him over Rudd in ACDC. It's great he's got another go and it's the one sunny bit of news in the recent list of ACDC tragedies, but Phil is the man for ACDC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexC Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Really? I think he's really sloppy at times. Also he abuses that hi-hat like fuck. Seriously, once you notice that it's all you can fucking hear it's so annoying. Phil "the human metronome" Rudd was super tight. Slade is good and of course yes he's 71 so there is that. But I don't think there's many mistakes to be made in the simplicity of AC/DC's drumming but he seems to be making them on at least a few songs. He's still great though and doesn't ruin the band or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slade has been a very sought after studio musician as well as playing in several well known bands. we all have our preferences though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Machine. Love him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
