POWERPOINTS: 10 – Powerplay Magazine:
“This is a must have album that documents an incredible career.”
Steve Swift’s Rambling Music Reviews:
“t’s an absolute delight to hear so many different kinds of music… good god it’s great!”
Defenders of the Faith:
“For the headbangers, there’s plenty to enjoy in heavy rockers like ‘Sundance’, ‘We Will Survive’, and the strongest of the bunch, ‘Back with a Vengeance’, which shines with its uptempo drive and shrill Brian Johnson-esque vocals.”
Progressor.net:
“If you tend to enjoy hard rock and a little bit of metal in general, and hard rock explored with an orientation towards progressive rock ideals and ethos in particular, then this is an album that will be of interest. Especially if you also enjoy hearing the skills of a quality, veteran drummer.”

THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE recently released a performance video for the single ‘Back With A Vengeance’ from the recently released new album ‘Timescape’ on BraveWords Records.
The band is on the road in support of their new album ‘Timescape’.
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 techniques of guitarist JAMES CORNFORD along with keyboard and guitar player MICHAEL J. CLARK.
This is a concept for Slade that will include performances from a varied set list from Tom Jones, Manfred Mann’s Earthband, Uriah Heep, The Firm, ASIA, MSG, David Gilmour, Gary Moore along with a fair degree of AC/DC numbers and many surprises to be unwrapped along the way.
“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 you must certainly have a band to be reckoned with.”
Slade started his career at the age of 16 with Tom Jones before he changed his name to Tom Jones, this included World tours and recording throughout the 60’s.
Chris Slade was a founding member of ‘Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’ in January of 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 multi million selling #1 in the USA) and ‘Davy’s On The Road Again’ (No.6, June 1978).
After ‘Earthband’ he spent 2 years with Uriah Heep.
A Year with Gary Numan and a 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 gave them a few radio hits including ‘Radioactive’ and ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’.
Then Chris joined 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 Gary Moore’s gigs in The UK that Malcolm Young saw Chris 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 scuppered 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 five years in total.
In the 21st Century, for a period of 5 years, Slade played drums for German guitarist Michael Schenker before forming THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE in 2012.
