Ha ha. I did get the joke, I know I must sound like an agro prick in here but I honestly laugh my ass off when typing. My agro with Brett being an example, he is an awesome guy who I admire alot. It's kinda like playing golf or something, releaves the stress.

I think I'm gonna go to see VH4 so keep in touch and if you go we should hook up. But yes, I know us ex footyheads have a deserved reputation as being thick but I'm not that thick, I did get the joke and it did make me laugh so no worries about that.

I dont think you are a thickhead at all ! Its not like you played
Rugby League ! heheheheh
Ive heard your musical abilities, know your sporting accomplishments
and dont think you are an agro prick at all. Seem like a good
bloke to me...

Vh4 in OZ would be awesome, we would have to have some
sort of Army representation !! I think in all likelyhood we will
have to chase them, though..

Fark, I hate that flight !! SOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Its good shootin the breeze with ya, Im actually looking forward
to the footy this year, and the various reunions... Could be
a good year all round !

Slade? The only song I have have heard from them was back in the 80's, 'Run Run Away', and the gay video, cant say they made a good impression....

Don't judge bands by one song.


If you judged Queen by Radio Ga Ga...

Or the mighty Van Halen by Dreams...

Exactly, exactly

Great band, and so were The Sweet. Both bands still tour, over Christmas Slade did a tour with some of the remaining members of Mud and T-Rextasy. Unfortunately the tour didnt come anywhere near the south of England so couldnt get there.

Andy Todd [guitarist in The Sweet] still gigs and that with various people, they did a London show a year or 2 ago

[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.
