[@lambd5578]

It’s a pretty sad and sorry story that Noddy and Jim Lea got the vast amount of money Slade ever made. It’s all down to songwriting eh. Jim and Nod wrote most of their music so got, and still get the royalties. They must love Christmas more than the rest of us eh? About £600k every year for Merry Christmas in royalties. Don Powell and Dave have had to keep working for twenty years as Slade just to make a living. Shame on Noddy and Jim ( both multi millionaires)for not assisting their two former band mates. Rock on Dave👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@toppertruthio]

That's greed for you

[@derekstocker6661]

Great to see Dave doing well. Slade made some of the very best music at the time and still hear them quite often and at Christmas of course, see Noddy in the press as well and so pleased to see this video, well done Dave, keep up the great work matey!

It's great he's still doing it, and what a shock he's 77. I thought he'd be about 70 by now. Not 77. Amazing.

Great to hear that Dave is still doing shows. He's always been a natural on stage, with a larger than life personality up there.

[@chap666ish]

I still have the 7" single of Merry Xmas Everybody from when it first came out. Wonderful to see Dave Hill acting 30 years younger than he is.

[@alanbryant3016]

Our band stayed with the N between before slade in Germany for a month in 1965 and Dave was a quiet person and very nice with it!

[@finjay21fj]

Noddy always said "I can't imagine me doing this in me 40's" I thinks that's why he quit basically 🤔

[@deejohn1659]

Great to see Dave. Just hope Noddy is okay and getting through his current throat cancer scare.

[@harwoods11]

Does Dave have to still gig cos of the way the monies were (weren't) divided out when Slade split or is it really " the music"?

[@shauncorless8965]

Didn't he sack the drummer after over 50 years ,,together by text ,look wot u done 😮

[@SISU889]

Cum’on feel the noise, was the first single I ever bought.

[@bluetopguitar1104]

What a great thing. Still playing music. Dave is a trip. What a great person.

[@ProudtobeEnglish]

I was born in '64. Slade were the Beatles of my generation. I was lucky enough to see them in Manchester 1975. I'd love to see them reunite but it won't happen. More chance of The Jam reforming!

[@timothylynskey9224]

Great guy Dave and what a sense of humour with that haircut but still a top man

[@michaelwaugh4299]

Is it true that it's just noddy and him that get the royalties from merry Christmas.

[@angusbabb4913]

No it’s just Noddy and and Jim and Jim Lea who receive royalties from Merry Xmas Everybody as they wrote the song …however Dave and Don should still be receiving their percentage in sales,/downloads / streams from their original record deal so he should still be getting something every year, just nowhere near as much as the writers

[@kryztofkowalski4628]

OMG - aging is not pleasant!

[@raymondvaughan6262]
