"Whatever Happened To Slade?"

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Yea, I saw that. Didn't play many big citys, it was like Morecome and stuff like that.

A few years ago they played Butlins...sad, isn't it?

COME BACK JIM AND NODDY

[Atomic_Rob]

Unfortunately Noddy is more content with being a TV personality than a rocker, I guess you gotta move on its just a shame a great band like Slade has kinda gone to the dogs when Hoddy isn't really doing anything worth writing home about.

Obviously hes gotten older but there are bands and artists out there in the same boat that keep going [Rolling Stones, Status Quo, Bob Dylan, David Bowie etc]

The main problem is there isn't the demand for bands like Slade anymore, even if they re-issue Merry X-Mas Everyone every bleeding year.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

To be honest, I think they would do relatively good business with Noddy and Jim back in the saddle. They have enough instantly recognisable hits. Most people who have never bought a SLADE album in their life know Merry Xmas, Feel The Noize, Mama Weer All Crazee Now and Coz I Luv U, some know more. The perfect time to do it would have been when The Darkness hit it big a few years ago.

I find it odd that Noddy is more concerned with being a TV personality, cos he's never on the fookin' TV. Surley he'd find more work doing what he (undoubtedly) does best.
