"Slave" is first known to have been demoed by [[Weezer]] at [[Cello Studios]] in early November of [[2001]]. The song first came to the attention of Weezer fans as a recording from the [[November 14]] [[Glenn Sound Demos|sessions at Glenn Sound Studios]], originally intended for the Seattle-area radio station 107.7 The End. When it became apparent that the songs would not be aired on the radio, the band released them for free online. Numerous in-progress recordings of the song were released during the [[Maladroit_demos#Maladroit_sessions|sessions for ''Maladroit'']] from late [[2001]] through early [[2002]]. | ||
