Greenslade is an English progressive rock band. It was originally formed in the autumn of 1972 (making its live debut at Frankfurt's Zoom Club in November) with the following line-up:
Longtime musical associates, with a common background in jazz, Greenslade and Reeves had been original members of Colosseum. Lawson was previously a member of The Alan Bown Set, Web and Samurai, whilst McCulloch was briefly a member of King Crimson, playing drums on that band's third album, Lizard (1970), and Fields, the band formed by ex-Rare Bird keyboardist Graham Field.
Dave Clempson (ex Humble Pie) guested on Greenslade's third album, playing guitar on two tracks. Reeves left around that time and was replaced on the U.S. tour and subsequent fourth album, Time And Tide, by Martin Briley who also contributed on guitar and backing vocals.
Greenslade announced their disbandment in early 1976. Dave Greenslade went on to record his debut solo album, Cactus Choir, and in late 1976 and early 1977 put together a new band line-up with ex-Manfred Mann's Earth Band frontman Mick Rogers. Initially the rhythm section consisted of Dave Markee and Simon Phillips, who had played on the album, but they were replaced by Tony Reeves (who had in the meantime joined the final line-up of Curved Air) and Jon Hiseman (then concurrently leading his own Colosseum II) for the 1977 dates.

So tell me
(Newsworth)
What's really news after all
The king broke a string, did that warrant five curtain calls
(Newsworth)
Excuse me
(Newsworth)
Your news has taken a dive
The artists are gone
Now who is the fastest alive
Your pretence is there
But your envy's showing its face
You dropped your guitar
The ball point's taking its place
Your ego suffered a blow
When your idol showed his disdain
You say that you're unbiased well you must think that we're green
(Newsworth)
I've heard that
(Newsworth)
A newsworth lives in his pen
May I suggest
It's likely that he lives in one then
(Newsworth)
What happens
(Newsworth)
After you lie down at night
In your case the lying's not reclining you can lie best upright
We quite understand
You can't always be kind
Please take extra care
And think before you malign
You've come a long way
Since the broom and the tea bag days
So drop the Sunday paper stuff
One page of ads is one too much
When it comes to slagging, we play rough
Did you think we were green
Well we're not
You're a
(Newsworth)
You're a
(Newsworth)
You're a
