"Slave" first came to the attention of Weezer fans | "Slave" is first known to have been demoed by the band [[Cello Demos|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|sessions for ''Maladroit'']] from late [[2001]] through early [[2002]]. | ||
In [[2016]] the song | Original sticker on pressings of ''Maladroit'' touted the song: "Featuring '[[Dope Nose]]' and 'Slave'". It is unknown if this indicates that the song was considered for release as a single. | ||
"Slave" has been played live only a handful of times, including only four performances in 2002 during the band's tours in support of ''Maladroit''. Rivers Cuomo played a partial rendition of the song acoustically via webcam during a [[USTREAM]] session online on [[September 10]], [[2011]]. In [[2016]], the song had a brief resurgence when a poll on the band's official [[fan club]] asked what deep-cut song fans would like to see on a [[Spotify Sessions]] release. "Slave" won and made an acoustic appearance as the final track on the EP. It was also played live and acoustic at Rough Trade records on [[April 1]], [[2016]], and again that December at [[Weezer concert: 12/02/2016 - Boston, MA|an acoustic concert in Boston, MA]] for the radio station Alt 92.9, wherein the band was accompanied by members of the Harvard Orchestra. | |||
