Noddy Holder is such a lovely bloke ,absolutely no ‘rockstar’ airs and graces.During the late 70’s the band I was in supported Slade at a British university summer ball.our dressing rooms were adjacent and after we had performed Noddy came into ours and introduced himself ( as if we didn’t know who he was !) complimented us on our performance and invited us all to their dressing room for a drink .We imagined bottles of spirits on every surface , scantily clad women ..no ,in his thick Brummie accent “How do you like yer tea lads ? “ …they were all having a brew ! So friendly and down to earth ,treated us like equals and gave us a memory to cherish

@pianoboogieman7290 Got to ask how was Slade ?

[@pianoboogieman7290]

@@gypsyroadhog at the time I was playing piano with a not very well know spoof rock n roll band called the Stan Arnold Combo .Stan was a comedian/ singer songwriter on the folk circuit who decided he could combine his particular zany ( and often quite rude !) humour with a rock n roll backing which proved quite popular on the university / college circuit at the time.There are clips on KZbin of the band before the then pianist Jerry left and I replaced him .Unfortunately no clips with me !

[@pianoboogieman7290]

@@paulweston285 Brilliantly entertaining , hard rocking , great at working the audience, no doubt aided by the fact that the gig was in their hometown and by the time they came on probably at least half the audience were very ‘merry’ to put it politely !

[@paulweston285]

@pianoboogieman7290 Great to hear, i was lucky enough to see them in 1974 in Melbourne Australia during a string of hits, the support act was British band " Home " featuring a young Cliff Williams on bass.

Slade were the biggest band in Europe in the 70s glam era. They have a wealth of music for you to listen to. Try " Skweeze me please me" or " Run run away"

[@BlueBarchetta67]

Slade are from my home town, and have the most amazing back catalogue of songs. Noddy Holger, the singer, has the most underrated voice in rock and roll history, Christmas is coming, make sure you check out 'Merry Xmas Everybody',it's a classic.

[@flamestergirl]

I saw Slade in concert in the early 70's as a young teenager and WOW the memories have stayed with me, they were awesome and were one of my fave bands in my teens. There is a huge Slade rabbit hole to dive into, enjoy Ladies :)

[@madjock-ig5bv]

Slade were one of the best bands I ever saw live. Noddy as a frontman was captivating and brilliant. He had a great personality and could work a crowd even at festivals where not everyone was there to see them. In fact on the day they played Monsters Of Rock festival they stole the day for most folk (AC/DC headlined and other bands included Whitesnake and Blue Oyster Cult). The interaction of Noddy and the guys with 60,000 wet and muddy people was outstanding. Guitarist Dave Hill was known for wearing some outrageously over the top outfits (glam gear). Apparently he often didn't tell the band what he was planning to wear and they would go "you must be joking"😀. Dave would tell the rest of the band about the songs "you write them, and I'll sell them"😂 The drummer Don Powell was in a car crash at one point (he ended up in a coma for a while) but the band waited on his recovery to get out and about again. Don had memory issues and often had to be given a reminder of the beat before they hit a song to allow him to get to the rest of it! One other little thing about them is their song title's spellings were often hilarious. The band come from an area in England known as the "black country" which has quite a thick accent so they wrote the titles phonetically as it was written as it sounded as they said them! If I may recommend a song to you called "My Oh My" as it is one of the most brilliant and emotive ballads I have ever heard. I will share the link, even just for your own enjoyment (you don't need to react if you haven't time). Have a great day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d53acmh9gaeggK8

[@lemmy9809]

I'm a old git from Yorkshire and I love your accents ..you sound like proper Americans ...go girls yeah ❤

[@chrismcdonagh688]

This was my band growing up and this was the first record I ever bought. Noddy Holder had one of the best rock voices ever and was asked to audition for AC/DC when Bon Scott died but he turned it down out of loyalty to his own band. Gene Simmons said that Slade were one of the biggest influences for Kiss. This is actually a cover of an older song but Slade does the best version. Try Gudbuy T' Jane, Mama Weer All Crazee Now, The Bangin Man, Merry Xmas Everybody, How Does It Feel, Them Kinda Monkees Can't Swing, Cum On Feel The Noize, Thanks For The Memories, How Can It Be, Standin On The Corner, Run Run Away, We'll Bring The House Down and so many others.

[@chrisbanks5925]

Slade were huge in the UK.

[@thereunionparty]

For some reason Slade never really caught on in the U.S. Maybe it was because of their wacky, over the top and irreverent attitude at a time when U.S. groups were more serious/earnest.

Slade never really made it in USA but lots of American bands covered their songs.

[@hrothgar64]

You should check out the live version, filmed in front of an audience of mainly teeny-bopper girls for a TV show. This is actually a cover of a song made famous by Little Richard. They finished almost every show with this song. They were hugely successful everywhere in the World except America. If you remember Quiet Riot doing Cum On Feel The Noize and Mama Weer All Crazee Now, they were Slade songs written by bassist Jim Lea and singer/guitarist Neville "Noddy" Holder. Slade were one of the best live bands around. Every show was a party.

In the late sixties noddy drove Robert plant to gigs before he joined led zeppelin in his dad's window cleaning van according to his autobiography his dad was a good singer and noddy(his real names neville) sang for the first time on stage when he was five years old in working men's clubs in walsall.

[@gypsyroadhog]

Their first uk chart entry then what followed was huge. 6 No.1’s with 3 entering at the top spot, biggest selling singles artist in the 70’s, came back with a bang in the 80’s by standing in for Ozzy Osbourne (who said Noddy had one of the best voices in rock) at the Reading festival and were stars of the show. Nearly another No.1 followed but held off top spot by a novelty act and now 51yrs later their Christmas record is a festive staple and still charts in the uk

[@Jones9guitars]

Back in the day I lived in a "hippy house" with 5 other people. We had an 8 track tape player and only 2 tapes. Ones was Carol Kings "Tapestry" (a great album itself) and "Slade Live". 8 track tape players played tapes on a loop over and over and over again until somebody shuts it off. To this day I still never tire of hearing either of these artists. Thanks for the memory!

[@simonlitten]

Thank you, such a treat to watch Kathy and Donna chair dancing from the start and Lulu sitting there stone faced until Noddy Holder asked everyone to clap their hands. Slade were part of the British "glam rock" movement, which included early David Bowie e.g. Diamond Dogs. They were also from a part of Britain known as "the Black Country", which used to be based on sooty industries. The band's songs were a lot of fun. My favourites are: Mama Weer All Crazee Now; Cum On Feel The Noize; and My Friend Stan.

[@samleigh7817]

You may remember in the 1980s Quiet Riot did a song called 'Come on Feel the Noise'. Noddy Holder (the singer) and Jim Lea from Slade wrote the song and released it about ten years before them. Got to number one in Britain in 1973. Another song of theirs that I like is 'Cuz I luv you' which was their first number one in 1971. Also already mentioned is 'Merry Xmas everybody' which was the Christmas number one in Britain in 1973.

This came out about May 1971. I saw them on TV in November 1971, and I was blown away. They were huge in the UK, but around 1975, they toured the USA for two years, and the UK forgot them. They became popular again in the 1980s. Sad as they do not play their songs on radio apart from their Christmas song, which virtually everyone knows.
