wow ! what we had in the 70 's was as good as anything that happened in the 60's,,, for me , it was the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!! , I'm 59, but Slade are still my band..
They are still in my collection. I'am 57 and I understand my parents when they used to listen to rock n roll when I was a kid. When I put Slade on now my kids say exactly the same as I did. What the hell is that lol.
One of my regrets in life I never managed to see them live when they were in their prime. Listening to Slade as a teenager in the '70s - it didn't get much better.
This has literally everything that's currently missing from 99% of rock music today: FUN and CATCHINESS. I asked this on another Slade post but its relevant here too: when was the last time you saw a band smile as much as Slade does in this video? Outstanding. Music never got any better than this.
Slade were such a brilliant band and should be inaugarated into the rock n roll of fame the 70's was the best decade ever the music was light years ahead of todays music crap
mate.... you have been missing some special music.... try THE SWEET.....T TREX....SPARKS.. so many more 70's legends....but SLAYED(as in true tradition of Slade mispelling) are top of the tree!!!!
☆☆☆SLADE ROCKS☆☆☆ fantastically! One of the legendary "Glamrock music groups". They were huge and extremely successfull in Europe. I was a teenager in the 70´s and might experience the best music tape of all times, as for example: Sweet, T-Rex, MUD, Suzie Q. of course also pink Floyd, Led zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath. Unforgettably - I miss them!
ER.. Me too and i love all those bands as well. The same can be said for motorcycles in these eras from Kwacker triples , Lc 350s through blades ,zx7rs, etc plus 1991/2 oldskool rave. This vid is great.
Robert H. Take Me Back ´Ome. Slade performed this song in 1972? There I still was too young for motorcycles. My motorbike time began middle of the 70th. A subject where I could discuss now for hours. With the Kwacker it concerns a water-cooled Kawa? I believe, at that time it was one quickest in the cbm/m³ class. A cult bike! ☆☆☆ Happy new year 2017!
I m only 41 but love rock music from every decade from 50s till now. I wonder if anyone else noticed recently that Slade are having a kind of revival at the moment. I hear their songs on all the rock stations plant rock absolute rock ect. I must heard them 40 times in last week alone on radio. They are also get a lot of videos played on music stations on TV aswell. It just goes to show people out there still appreciate good music and they might be recognising Slade were and still are one of the top rock acts in the world.
Not only having one of the greatest voices in rock, Noddy Holder and the lads from SLADE are one of the greatest UK bands form the 70's - LEGENDS! \m/ A major influence!!
Awesome song & tune. If this video doesn't put a huge smile on your face, you should get back in your coffin!!! Slade were one of Britains biggest ever bands who sold millions. Didn't do squat in the U.S. buts that their loss. They influenced lots of U.S. bands though like Kiss, Cheap Trick & the Replacements. In the U.K. they are a national treasure.
It's always been a mystery why they weren't big here in the states. Slade is still very rare to hear on classic rock radio. Even when Quiet Riot covered them they still remained unseen. They're amazing.
Daniel H No mystery really. The sound was awesome. Holders voice was un-earthly. The guitarist was a clown. Couldn't play to save his life in an era when we were seeing Alvin, Jimi, Jimmy, Jeff, Peter, Eric, Ted etc.The guy in Slade was really to put it nicely, not up to the current standards. To that point, I saw them at Cobo Hall in Detroit maybe 1973?. They got boo'd off the stage.. I was there. It was all because of their guitar player who was a complete ass. Slade is one of my favorite bands of all time but everytime I see that jerk lead guitarist I cringe and I'll wager that's the reason that they never hit it big in the States. IMO.
+Bryan Mclellan They sold millions of records, were huge everywhere but the States; who cares. The USA never understood glamrock (Sweet, Slade, Mud, Marc Bolan, etc.), it has nothing to do with Dave Hill.
Dave Hill was one of many the reasons why they were so loved here in Britain and the rest of the world.Americans are trapped in a bubble,their loss not ours!
I was once dragged along to a Slade concert,at Liverpool Stadium in November 1972 much against my will, as I considered myself above their style of 'pop rock'. Well shame on me, as it turned out to be one of the best concerts I'd ever seen,they were brilliant. During the concert, Dave Hill broke his ankle, when he fell off his platform boots during the performance. I can't remember whether he went to hospital to have it put in plaster or whether he carried on. Slade were the headliners, but the show was opened by Suzi Quatro,followed by Think Lizzy.
This was my introduction to Slade as a 5 year old! Kept hearing it on the radio, didn't know who the hell it was, but that voice totally captivated me! Never heard a singer 'shout' before! Totally original and unique sound, and a massive influence on many to come.
I will admit, back in 1974 I made the mistake of listening to some classmates, who said " Slade Sucks". Here I am 50 years later. Rockin out to Slade. Better late than never.
Back at a time when we wanted and had fun and Slade & the other groups of the time gave us great music. Much better than the crap that’s around today. And the girls were naturally beautiful & didn’t mind us lads whistling at them . They knew it was a compliment. Now you are called sexist. 👍👍
It doesn't matter if the band is 100+. Slade are one of the only major rock bands where all the members are still with us. Get it back together and rock the joint!!
This is one of my favorite SLADE songs, and the video is killer. the little blonde cutie dancing with Noddy Holder is a knock out. and the girl dancing with Dave Hill is having a hell of time trying to keep up with him. Dave is a wild man, you have to remember he is playing a guitar and doing all those wild moves. he is a very under rated guitarist. Yeah these guys are AWESOME!!!!! the mighty SLADE no doubt.
My first single bought when I was a young teen, great, fun band. Wish they had re-grouped at some point. I still consider "Slade Alive" to be one of the best heaviest live rock albums ever.
One of the most iconic bands of the 70s. They may have never cracked the USA in the way other British bands did, but they left a legacy, for the metal bands of the 80s, the back to basic punching rock of the 00's. To say they were just a "glam rock" band is disingenuous, they could do the lot. Absolute legends all, with Noddys vocals being among the very best of any artist.
Awesome video....In 1971 I was 15, I liked all sorts of music but nothing before or since ever grabbed me like Slade. The day I heard Cos I Luv You changed everything....these were the band for me, it was me, it felt like me & I still love em to this day. Seeing Noddy with his mirrored top hat blew my mind, his voice is unique, I think someone once described it as a cut throat razor. Watching their old videos & listening to their songs now give me goose bumps, it's like I'm 16 again...Slade were awesome & I'm so thankful they came along when they did, for me they're the best rock band ever, I love the Stones, ACDC, Def Leppard & others but Slade are just it.....thanks Noddy, Jim, Dave & Don.
Love the fact that each member of the band is being shadowed by a dancer dressed the same as him. The poor girl trying to ape Dave's odd dancing definitely got the shot straw.
This song has such a great groove to it. The guitar lead is just great, simple and easy, but does exactly what it needs to for the song. Second song I can recall (the other being come on feel the noise) where the drummer doesn't really touch the hats and just uses tambourine, crashes and toms/snare. Really gives the song a chugging/pumping feeling though and I think it only enhances the groove. And what can be said of Noddy's vocals. What a peculiar voice he has. I wouldn't even call it pleasant, but man does it cut through a mix like butter and it lends itself to Slade's brand of rabble rousing rebel sound. Great song. My Dads favorite band. Every once in a while I listen to it and remember us blasting down the road in the old camper going fishing, good times.
