Thanks for checking out episode 53 with legendary drummer, Chris Slade. Chris has had the most tremendous careers having played drums for fellow Welsh legend, Tom Jones, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, AC/DC, The Firm, Toomorrow, Uriah Heep, David Gilmore and Asia but is still touring and recording with his current project, The Chris Slade Timeline.


In this episode, we chat about Chris' early life and career, touring with Tom Jones, autioning for AC/DC and touring in private jets, receiving calls from David Gilmore and Jimmy Page on the same day, his questionable warm up routine, drum sticks and much more.
