    I first heard "Slide" back in '77, and I said, "who are these brothers jammin' like this?" That was my intro to a band called Slave, still 1 of my all-time favorites, and Mark "Drac" Hicks became one of my tavorite guitar players and still is. RIP brother you eill never be forgotten.

    Proud and happy to say, Amazing masterful talented musical groups from the "Gem City", Dayton, Ohio! The Ohio Players, Zapp featuring Roger, Heatwave, Slave, Sun, Shirley Murdock, Steve Arrington, Mel'sa Morgan and of course, Lakeside.
    Welcome to the "Land of Funk!"

  • @DeeNice681

    Drac was pissed of about Starleana and Curt coming in and doing lead vocals, and that he didn't get to do his patened guitar solos anymore in 1980-81. I think they could have still incorporated Drac's solo in the their 80's synth R&B sound. It didn't completely hurt the group when he left because Mark Adams was the man on the bass. His bass drove the group along with Steve Arrington's vocals. R.I.P. Mark Adams, one of the greatest bass guitarist ever.

    Regardless to the weight gain, they were jamming and they sounded good to me!!
    A party, birthday or otherwise was NOT jumping until "Slide" was played at least once. It is so good to see the old schoolers out there showing the young ones how its done!!

    @stevi1955 - No doubt. Mad props to Dayton!! These were some ass whoopin' bands you listed. Great production on all those LPs of the groups you named as well. Unreal how a small city in Ohio can turn into the hotbed of the best music of the 70's and 80's.

  • @maxfrenzi
    @maxfrenzi 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If there ever was an axe slinger it was Mark "Drac" Hicks. R.I.P. Your music will be missed.

  • @BIGBUCK20
    @BIGBUCK20 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    The original bass player was Mark Adams if I rember right. This group was another of Dayton Ohio's finest in the late 70's!!!

    The guys can jam. I listened to this song when I was teenager. Watching them still jam like this makes me proud to be from my generation the musicians of today pale in comparison.

  • @maxfrenzi
    @maxfrenzi 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is "SLAVE"!!! Mark Hicks A.K.A. Drac from the early, early years on the guitar. He's gone now too. R.I.P. Drac. Type in Slave Interview and you'll see him and Mark Adams being interviewed.

  • @maxfrenzi
    @maxfrenzi 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The brother in the black cape was inimitable Mark Hicks AKA Drac from the old Slave... Arguably one of the baddest (meaning the best) axemen of the last 35 years. I give him credit for keeping the dream of SLAVE alive. Gone way too soon along with Mark L. Adams AKA The Hansolar. May they R.I.P.

  • @sda1225

    There can NEVER be Slave without Steve Arrington-PERIOD

  • @defmaster88
    @defmaster88 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    There was a Steve Washington & Steve Arrington. Washington was the unsung leader of the group & trumpet player. Arrington joined the group after "Slide" came out and was it's lead singer & drummer.... I may be late on the response, but this is the facts.

  • @maxfrenzi
    @maxfrenzi 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    My son's are learning how to play the bass and the lead and rhythm guitar. I got 'em listening to Mark Adams and Mark Hicks A.K.A The Hansolar and Drac. No better musicians could have been chosen.

  • @defmaster88
    @defmaster88 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Verdine White from Earth, Wind & Fire.. Maurice White's brother.... You are totally right about the list of bass players.... Don't forget: Michael Henderson, Keni Burke, Rick James, Byron Miller (George Duke), and of course the almighty Larry Graham.

  • @maxfrenzi
    @maxfrenzi 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Guess 30 years may have taken it's took it's toll on the brothers, like it did to all of us who were young in the late 70's, but Drac and his Fender Stratocaster are still holding it down... check him out from 5:35 to 6:00... brother still got some skills

  • @proonah
    @proonah 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Man these guys got off. Funk is played with Brass, Pounding bass and guitar shred. It is sad in today's world nobody understand this music. If they do they are obscure. LONG LIVE FUNK!!!

  • @ronpc
    @ronpc 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    For those who think Slave is washed up don't ever forget they already been their done that, yeah I know they are not like the Police who can get back together after twenty five years and sell out every venue in an hour, but Slave just like The Bar Kays, Cameo ,Con Funk Shun, Dazz Band and the list goes on, made so many house parties, bbq's, clubs and radio stations rockin and those who were their to remember that era knows what im talkin about. Peace.

  • @MagMusic
    @MagMusic 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Preach. There were apparently two bands performing under the Slave banner, this one led by Drac (Mark Hicks) and the other led by Mark Adams and Danny Webster. There's a video here on YT of Adams' and Webster's version. This was more professionally performed and recorded. Adams was clearly playing in a dive, his best playing days behind him, but Adams is Slave, plain and simple. Without him, it's just another funk band. This isn't even close.

  • @defmaster88

  • @wmdbassplayer
    @wmdbassplayer 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    This am the SHIT!!! Mark Adams was a big influence on me in my early days of learning the bass. "YOU CAN SLIDE MY FINGER ON IT!" Today's shit just can't compare. The thing about funk that a lot of people don't get is that it's inherently very simple music, but the pocket is soooo tight, you can't help but move. If your head starts boppin' without you thinkin' about it, then it's FUNKY!

  • @brocam
    @brocam 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    They inspired me and so many others to pick up the bass or guitar. The song was so accessible and the energy so pure. It is almost tantric . You go into a trance state. By the way, the audio is not synced with the video.
    Around 78 my band used to practice across the street from Steve's (fearless leader) mother's house in East Orange, NJ . We would drool when they unloaded the huge silver painted speaker cabinets off the truck. It's important for poor black kids to see success. Super heros.

  • @MagMusic
    @MagMusic 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If I'm correct, and I believe I am, the only original member of Slave in this video is guitarist Marc "Drac" Hicks (the guy in the cape), and I'm sorry for all the Drac loyalists out there, but the guitar was not the distinguishing element of their sound. Adams' bass and Arrington's vocals were.

  • @defmaster88
    @defmaster88 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, Mark Adams did admit that he was influenced by Larry Graham from the Sly & The Family Stone days & Graham is the pure legend & one of my favorites ("Release Yourself" is playin' on my computer now.) but he wasn't the only one..... But i'mma check da page.......

    You're talking about Steve Arrington, who was singing with them. He's a minister in Kettering, OH. I can't recall the name of the church, I think something with Full of Love. They got older and started eating, I guess.

  • @mitzlerdub
    @mitzlerdub 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is DRAC and his version of slave..He is the only original member in this video.. Music is a harsh business, Drac left slave after the stone jam album, and returned with the group in 1988..And now acts like he played in all the hits when he really didn't.. The group kinda fazed him out, thats why he left.. In the late 70's and early 80's music was going in a different direction. He still wanted to do rock solo's....If anything Mark Adams, Danny Webster, and Floyd Miller should be doing this.

Come see me after the fights are over and you and I can go to work on those breaks. Oh and by the way, nothing personal. Oh and great channel too. Is definitely doesn't reflect the mindset you are directing towards myself right now. Maybe after you "whip my ass", we can become the brothers we are suppose to be. Hotep

    2black2day:
    I can understand why you feel the way that you do, and I can agree. If and only "if" this is true then something needs to be done to help the brother. The group is still tight though. To the person that refers the solo to the original cut: I think that drac has grown musically since that time.

  • @ohioplayer

    @zzzddd7 agreed, some of his chops aren't as sharp as 30 years ago! i don't doubt that some can outplay him now! i'm just saying there's always a balance!! and a lot of the younger players now have had more gadgets that have given them ops for more finger and wrist control as a daily living function, not just with playing, like we did back in the day! but, ya gotta give Drac his props! it's the silence in between the beats that brings on the funk! MAA'T ONE LOVE!!!

    None of us are hating, dude. If you know anything about the original Slave, this is actually sad. R. I. P. Drac (and I posted here before he died, you can still find it) but none of the bands out there calling themselves any version of Slave measure up. Period. I wouldn't check any of them out for free. You want to perform their songs, fine. But don't use the name Slave.

  • @discoAL
    @discoAL 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    yeah Drac (RIP) has had too many line-up changes for my taste. Adams, Webster, and Arrington were such an integral part of the identity of Slave. when Adams passed that pretty much sealed it for me. i would pay to see Arrington, Starleana Young, Danny Webster, and Steve Washington get together, which is highly unlikely. so to me its pretty much official.
