Slade ~ Noddy Holder Takes On Jonathan King ~ Slade In England

Old bit of footage from the dustbin at Castle Greywolf featuring various luminaries from the sixties and seventies. Here holder dismisses Kiddie Fiddler Jonathan King's assertion that bands like Slade and mega stars like Rod Stewart, Elton John et al were talentless pieces of shite....discuss.

[@kurtsherrick2066]

Slade was a great band. Pure Entertainment and fun. Loved them!

[@sladeippie5841]

"None of Jonathan Kings i might add" You tell 'em straight Nod 💖🎩

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

Truth spoken !

[@MarkAtkin]

I think that Bob Harris gave the most balanced view here, but then I'm a fan of 60s and 70s music.

[@robharding5345]

Well put Nod ! think you made your point perfectly.

[@1alsturgeon]

Funny the first one he mentioned was Gary. Probably good mates to this day.

[@armymatters8042]

J King a nobody sitting there judging talent that time has proved what Noddy said. Great songs and music stands on its own.

[@GunCollector007]

Noddy is great 👍

[@donnataylor5673]

Well said noddy!!!! Creepy predator makes my blood boil

[@heggy_69]

More like super-nonce johnaton king lmao

[@robhavock9434]

These people are are the Kings of the generation as they are sadly passing away, nothing is coming these days in comparison, it is very sad.

[@jackdawson5731]

I can’t stand Jonathan king never liked him

[@daweshorizon]

Noddy 1. King nil. Go Slade!

[@KayEl58]

Well done, Noddy. Is Jonathan King out of prison yet?

[@Themanyfacesofego]

Johnathan King gave a distorted view... with a grain of truth about 70's music. For a while it was fashionable to bash the 70's and compare them negatively to other eras ( which he was doing.) Now things have changed, and we view the 1970's as a great era.

[@andrewscott1253]

I would go as far to say the great era cannot be tied to one decade, it was 1966-1978 which I think had the greatest quantity of really good and new (then) sounding creative output.

[@robharding4028]

Noddy put that creep right in his place !

[@MrThecarebear]

Jonathan King. Talking a load of horse ordure - as usual.

[@kurtsherrick2066]

Love Slade. The funniest Band in History. The Seventies Music is much better than sixties. The Beatles were great but Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and a few others are still on the Radio and the young people love those Bands. I love sixties music also but it was the Early Seventies that was the best period in Rock in my Period. I love Elvis also.

[@ttealeaf5]

What year was this?

[@WesW3187]

I’ve never heard of Jonathan King. I’ve heard of all the bands he mentioned, but not him.

[@dlamiss]

He was a big star both in music and on tv until the late 80s then he went to jail

[@BigSky1]

He was the founder of UK records and he signed and named 10cc to his label. He’s also an arrogant Pratt.

[@matty6878]

@@BigSky1 had no idea! Loved Rubber Bullets for all these years.

[@donnataylor5673]

Creepy predator

[@careyparker2673]

A failed mime artist. Yeah right. Thats like calling Jonathan king a failed cub scout leader, errr?

[@kennethgiles8375]

We all love king secretly

[@WendywdjnyJ]

🤔 who's Jonathan King??? 🤔 👎 & 🤙 to Noddy

[@wotdoesthisbuttondo]

Gee what a working class hero Noddy is zzzzz

[@artvanwag3257]

It didn't even up well for Jonathan King in the end 😅😅

[@matty6878]

when he mentioned gary glitter... yeesh 😬 but he got all the acquittals so who really knows

[@saxongreen78]

The early 1970s can't be touched, musically...forget the charts - listen to _albums!_

[@CB-xr1eg]

"forget the charts - listen to albums!" Albums that were in the *_charts_* ?

[@ryetim32]

He tells it like it is so they tried to destroy him and you sir are a liar. He is completely innocent.

[@the-np4mr]

"then along came punk" wrong way around, glan was a musical achievement. Punk was a mistake and a crime

[@matty6878]

british punk (sans Clash). Ramones are still a gem. hardcore punk in the 80s was when it all fell apart.

[@reubination]

Good Lord don’t they have dentists over there?

[@michaelgrace1298]

Come and find out

[@kiwiowl]

I don't know what you mean by 'over there' but I find the English have wonderful personalities as opposed to hiding behind a fake smile.

[@PERFECTGINGERBASTARD]

i still got this show on vhs, what a great get together. tony slatery was on there as well taking the piss out of aspel who in turn gave his own dry wit back to him. 1991 i think it was

[@jackdawson5731]

I can’t stand Jonathan king
