Let There Be Drums!!! On February 14th 2020 in Bergamo, Italy, yours truly BARBARA CASERTA was more than happy to celebrate Valentine’s day interviewing for LINEA ROCK none other than Mr CHRIS SLADE! Chris was in Bergamo with his solo project THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE to play a show which took us pleasantly across his 55 years career as a professional and versatile rock drummer: Uriah Heep, Asia, The Firm (with Jimmy Page & Paul Rodgers), David Gilmour, Michael Schenker, Gary Moore, Tom Jones (in the 60s), Manfred Mann’s Rare Earth… and of course the gig that gave him the big fame as the “bald banger” of AC/DC, in crucial moments of their long history: “The Razors Edge / Live at Donington” days plus "The Rock Or Bust Tour" after Phil Rudd was suddenly fired again… a gig so big, than surprisingly can turn to a double edged sword! We discussed it all… past present, and even future since he never stops… with juicy anecdotes, including his memories of a certain audition, of recording such a huge hit as "Thunderstruck" and also about saying “NO!” to Mr Jimmy Page himself! His attraction to the drums, emotions, sacrifices, music, style, being a pro and solid player but not only on stage, the pros and cons of always been available of everyone and anyone… basically the life of a hard working musician… and as a drummer myself as well, of my AC/DC female tribute band (PUSSY/DC) just imagine how many questions I prepared and also came out spontaneously during the chat… like the questions of all questions: how is the situation in AC/DC right now? Is Chris still the official drummer?! Check it out! Very Special Thanks to Carlo of Good Music.
Enjoy & Share!
