"Whatever Happened To Slade?"

[Shaun Ponsonby]

It's a shame SLADE aren't more recognised then they actually are. They were so much more than the McFly of the 70s...they were a GRATE rock & roll band. Recently bought the new box set and the 3 live albums + live at reading ep (boxed together). Anyone who dismisses them as a teeny-boppers band have NO idea.

GRATE band, even if they were slightly dyslexic.

[MAPRamone]

Really underrated band, glam for the working classes. And they influenced punk.

[Mr. Vengeance]

I still say their best album was Get Your Hands Off My Power Supply, which was only released after Quiet Riot had a huge hit with their cover of Come On Feel The Noize. I LOVED that album!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I like the "Slade in Flame" soundtrack, personally.

[Matt White]

HA!!!

Imagine if ROBERT PLANT had actually become their lead singer....

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I'm GLAD he never did. I've always thought Noddy was the BEST frontman from the Birmingham/Wolverhampton area.

He can fookin' sing better too.

Well...that's a stretch....but Plant & Noddy are good friends...to this day

They share the same sense of humor:p

[Shaun Ponsonby]

No, seriously, the 3 Slade live albums more than prove it.

But, yea, I can imagine them being friends. Growing up in a shitty place like Wolverhampton (it's worse than Liverpool...and THAT's saying something) is enough to keep 2 celebrities from the area to be long-time friends.

I thought The Sweet were a great under rated rock band.
Their albums were fucking killer.

Mick Tucker = Fantastic drummer,

You know that is actually true from a technique point of view, that guy could hit any note, anytime, anywhere he fucking wanted to. INCREDIBLE singer, totally underated. Classic Rock had a great article lastr year on Slade and interviewd Noddy, great read.

Slade Aive rocked my world.

Another band that never recieved true acknoledgement for thier influence on Rock.

Mick Tucker died a few years back from Lukemia. He had the whole double kick thing down bigtime.

Loved his drum solo track 'The Man With The golden Arm' fantastic double bass playing awesome triplets & quads, why ahead of his time by rock drumming standards also a big infl..on Tommy Lee
