Chris Slade launched the band ‘THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE’ in 2012 to mark 50+ years as a professional rock drummer.
For this project, Slade took on phenomenal vocalists STEVE GLASSCOCK and PAUL “BUN” DAVIS with the added stunning musical talents of guitarist JAMES CORNFORD and keyboard and guitar player MICHAEL J. CLARK. This lineup comprises a band to be reckoned with and is a worthy collaboration to mark Slade’s illustrious musical career.
“After all these years recording and playing with some of the world’s greatest rock musicians such as Tom Jones, Manfred Mann’s Earthband, Gary Moore, Gary Numan, Denny Laine, Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers, David Gilmour, Uriah Heep, Asia and of course AC/DC, I am pleased to be including some of my own versions of songs by a few of these legendary artists,” says Slade.
About Chris Slade:
Slade started his career at the age of 16 with Tom Jones before he changed his name to Tom Jones. Chris contributed significantly to Jones’s world tours and recordings throughout the 60s.
Slade was a founding member of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band in January, 1971. He was to spend seven years with the band, recording eight albums and achieving three UK Top Ten singles in the process: ‘Joybringer‘ (No. 9, October 1973), ‘Blinded By The Light’ (No. 6, September 1976 & a multimillion selling #1 in the USA) and ‘Davy’s On The Road Again’ (No.6, June 1978).
After Earthband he spent two years with Uriah Heep, one year with Gary Numan and one year with David Gilmour in 1984.
He later teamed up with Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers and bassist Tony Franklin to form The Firm . They produced two excellent albums for Atlantic in 1985 and 1986 that earned them chart andradio hits including ‘Radioactive’ and ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed.’
Chris went on to join Gary Moore, taking over from Cozy Powell just four days before the start of the 1989 After The War tour. It was at one of Moore’s gigs in The UK that Malcolm Young saw Slade play. After the tour it was Chris’s intention to put together a band with ex-Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay. But the call from AC/DC changed those plans as he was destined to tour and record with them over the course of the next five years, playing on their acclaimed ‘Razors Edge’ Album, and giving a killer performance on their concert DVD “Live from Donington.”
After his stint with AC/DC, Chris joined the prog-rock band Asia, who (even with the many personnel changes over the years) had still been managing to churn out some excellent music. Chris recorded with them on their 2000-2004 studio recordings, ‘Aura’ and ‘Silent Nation’ , and put forth his trademark energy-filled live performances on all the subsequent tours that ensued over the next five years.
Between 2005 and 2010, Slade played drums for German guitarist Michael Schenker before forming THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE in 2012.
