Slade are from Wolverhampton, which is Birmingham's neighbour, and were good friends with Ozzy and Black Sabbath. Their most notable tracks include 'Cum on Feel the Noize', 'Far, Far Away', 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now', 'Merry Xmas Everybody', 'Cuz I Luv You', my personal favourite 'Im For A Penny', and so many more.

Not just early rock but Glam Rock. Noddy Holder, the lead singer, is a British institution. Slade have a Christmas song (Merry Xmas Everybody) that I can't believe you've not reacted to, it's played to death over here in the UK during the festive period, but it's a classic!!! I think the other song you refer to that I'm sure has still be mentioned it's Cum On Feel The Noise, I definitely want to see you react to this, it's another song most people of a certain age, if not everybody, will have heard at some time. As for Slade, they are from Wolverhampton (close to Birmingham, England's second city and the former industrial powerhouse of the country). Big in the 70s, and had a revival when they stood in for Ozzy Osbourne, another Brummie (resident of Birmingham), at the Reading Festival in 1980, when he pulled out at the last minute. Love a bit of Glam Rock from time to time, other artists from genre T-Rex, Mud, and Wizard amongst others.

Slade were massive in Australia in the early 70's. They had multiple albums and singles in our charts simultaneously. They also had some hit songs in the 80's as well. "Gudby T'Jane" was the 3rd single I bought with my pocket money, I still own it and cherish it. Don Powell's opening Drumming is still one of the most impressive intros to a song that I've heard. The reason that Don is sitting in that type of chair is to give him the physical support he needed after his near fatal car accident. Slade and Status Quo on the same bill in the 70's was mind blowing for me as a young Australian teenager.

Slade rose to fame at the beginning of '70s once they had got Chass Chandler (who had played bass in The Animals in '60s) as a manager. Compared to other main glam rock bands of the era - T. Rex and The Sweet - Slade's fan base was more masculine. A typical Slade fan was a young working class male who's main interests were girls, beer and football (the European kind, of course). My own favorite Slade hit is Coz I Luv You, which has Jim Lea (arguably the musically most talented member of the band) playing violin. Other notable Slade hits from their most successful period include Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Cum On Fell The Noize, and Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me.

I was 12 or 13 when I first heard them (in '72 or '73), and I was immediately entranced by singer Noddy Holder's voice. A song suggestion: "Get down and get with it" - which is old fashioned rock n' roll. Then perhaps later follow with "Cum on feel the noize" and "Mama we're all crazee now".

Slade were an awesome band! One of my faves, growing up, the other main band being T.Rex. They hail from Wolverhampton in the UK. They were managed by Chas Chandler, bassist from the 60's band The Animals. He also managed Jimi Hendrix. The lead singer is Noddy Holder. The crazee glam boy (Super Yob) is Dave Hill. Jimmy Lea on bass was classically trained. And then you have Don Powell on drums. Other great songs to check out include Coz I Luv You, Mama Weer all Crazee Now, Look Wot You Dun, Take Me Bak 'Ome, Get Down and Get With It, Cum on Feel the Noize, etc. (Too many to mention!) Their biggest hit is probably Merry Xmas Everybody, which, you'll notice, has no deliberate spelling errors. 😉

They get slotted as a 'glam rock' band because of some of the costumes and make-up, but they're really just a good time blues bar band, much like T. Rex was, really.

Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley saw Slade back when they were still plying their trade as a New York bar band called Wicked Lester. Impressed by the big chorus, foot stomping, sing-a-long Rock n Roll that was Slade's trademark they decided that was the direction to go in - but very American. A prototype Cheap Trick saw Slade live & bassist Tom Petersson remarked that they had used "every cheap trick in the book" during their set. Overlooked & dismissed as a joke band by people who didn't recognise the talented musicians behind the outlandish clothes - it's stood the test of time & their critics have been proved wrong. & dare I say it aren't fit to lick the Dog sh*t from their Platform Boots.

Saw Slade only once but it was unforgettable. They played the Schaeffer Festival in NYs Central Park in blazing 90+ heat. Got the crowd absolutely crazy and by end of show the crowd had stomped the rows of metal foldup chairs flat in about 3/4 of the orchestra!! In the middle of the show people in the audience were throwing crushed ice and any water they could get on fellow viewers to help cool people off and the security grabbed 1 guy and tried to drag him out and Noddy Holder stopped in mid song and demanded they release him or they'd walk off stage(which might have caused a riot-no kidding). As a result they removed Schaeffer as a sponsor (booze didn't help things lol) and banned hard rock groups for 2 years and returned as the Dr. Pepper Festival. The Slade Alive album is one of rocks great bangers. On the live version of Get Down, Get With It you will get a rough idea what it was like to be among the crowd. You've been warned lol.

The Slade are from England, the part of England called Wolverhampton and they started in 1966, but were more prominent in the 70s of the Glam Rock era. They achieved 17 consecutive top 20 hits and six number one's on the uk charts. The lead singer he is known as Noddy Holder, but his real name is Neville John Holder. Other songs of theirs you should also react to are, Come feel the noise, Mama we're all crazy now, Keep on Rocking.

They had so many no1 records in the U.K. They were great fun at the inception of “ glam rock” wearing outrageous flares and platform soled shoes…which we the ordinary folk copied and wore to school too. But with lead singer Noddy Holders raspy rock vocals you will be shocked and amazed at just how good their reflective emotional ballads were too, they still sound so good today. Songs like “far far away” are still emotional to listen to and a complete contrast to their belt out rock numbers. Enjoy!❤

In England, Slade were contemporaries of Bowie, T. Rex and Sweet. Slade were pretty huge in the UK for a few years. I always liked this particular song. For some reason, Slade never caught on in a big way in the US. The Bay City Rollers, who were like a watered-down Slade, actually had more success in America. I think Slade should have done what The Sex Pistols did when they hit America, which is to play in the more working-class areas of the country like Texas and the South. They should have also focused on Mexico and South America. I should have been their manager.

@@gypsyroadhog I can't see the San Francisco music scene embracing Slade, but for some reason I can see people in the more "working class" parts of America enjoying them, kind of the same audience that supported KISS. I always thought that KISS sounded like a wimpier version of Slade.

Slade were another great Glam Band. Had a truckload of influence on other bands - including Quiet Riot. Slade are an English rock band formed in Wolverhampton in 1966. They rose to prominence during the glam rock era in the early 1970s,[1] achieving 17 consecutive top 20 hits and six number ones on the UK Singles Chart. The British Hit Singles & Albums names them the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter the charts at number one; all six of the band's chart-toppers were penned by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea. As of 2006, total UK sales stood at over 6,500,000. Their best-selling single, "Merry Xmas Everybody", sold in excess of one million copies.[2] According to the 1999 BBC documentary It's Slade, the band have sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Fun fact - Drummer Don Powell has done some recording with Andy Scott (guitarist from Sweet) and Suzi Quatro under the banner of QSP - a self titled Album QSP was released in 2017 and is very, very good.

One of my favourite Noddy Holder stories is that he used to go to a market near London's art college to buy flamboyant clothes and accessories for his Glamrock look. One of the students selling his creations was fan-boying all over him, telling him, he was in a band that was gonna be as big as Slade! It was only Freddie Mercury!

Slade were part of the Glam Rock era in the early 70's. They had many hits in their native UK including, 'Coz I Luv You', 'Look Wot You Dun', 'My Friend Stan', 'Take Me Bak 'ome', 'Get Down And Get With It', and, ' 'Skweeze Me Pleeze Me.' As well as the most well known, (Stateside as least), 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now', and, 'Cum On Feel The Noize.' They had a bit of a resurgence in the 80's with, 'Run Runaway', too! Dave Hill, (he of the shiney suit and glittery hair), loved to go out of his way to do unusual things whenever they appeared on TV or made promotional videos. A way of expressing that it was all meant to be fun and not taken at all seriously. Noddy Holder, of course, was the voice of Slade. The mis-spellings of their songs was a reflection of their black country accent, (coming from Wolverhampton, which is close to Birmingham.)

Slade are one of the most successful singles bands of the early 70s glam rock era in the UK. In their time they've played everything from rock ballads to a more folky rock style to fast paced heavy rock. Regardless of the style of music though, they always had a great sense of fun in their performances. They have practically legendary status here in the UK, and comedy duo Reeves and Mortimer only added to the legend with their "Slade and their Cuppa Soups" sketches. I love all of their music, but one of my favourites is their come back single in 1981 after a long hiatus, "We'll Bring the House Down".
