Slade - Universe (Official Music Video 1991)

Slade's music video for their last single Universe, released in 1991. The single failed to crack the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart, stalling at number 76, and the band split in early 1992.

This song should have become a worldwide Nr. 1!! It's stunningly beautiful...

I am 66 years old and not ashamed to say that rain falls from my eyes every damn time I hear this song. This band was such a part of the fabric of my life that I hold them reverently in my heart. Thank You SLADE. You guys made my Universe better, and my memories richer. Much love to ya…

Truly one of the greatest bands of all time along with T.Rex, Hush, And Sweet. Slades music will never die in my house, Noddy Holder is one of the greatest lead singers of all time without a doubt. LONG LIVE SLADE.

To all commercial radio stations and companies. Slade never needed you. We the fans know why you never gave them respect. Slade played by their own rules.

[@GuyTunes]

Having followed Slade since Cuz I Luv U, I never fail to be overjoyed about the fact that everyone now acknowledges what a superb foursome they were, and yes, vastly underrated in their later years. Not though, by genuine music fans and supporters, who abound here on KZbin, but by music business insiders mainly. Their objective was to give record buyers and concert-goers a great time and they did that as only Slade can.

[@KanalReinerAwos]

Great, great song!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@alanreilly5162]

Never understood WHY this song was never in the top 40,a belter of a song.and a great year,bring back 1991.

[@swetomboy]

I've said it before and I say it again, this is the Worlds most underrated band in the History of Music. They never got their well-deserved recognition from the World, the journalists and You and Me, and thats just a pure shame because they were always under the development with their music and they evolved all the time. They put not only the beginning of Glam Rock , but also the standard and the posthumous afterwards. Slade keeps many times higher class than the RS , LZ and many other bands. To me , you are number 1, AMEN.

[@colinlatham7905]

I may only be 24 years old, but have grown up with slade all my life. Love them and their music. It's a shame there's nothing as good quality as them now. One of my favourite songs.

[@samquintin2425]

THE BEST song Slade could end with. One knows, from this number, that the group loved what they did, and who they were, for their audience. I'm amazed this wasn't a smash hit... It wasn't even a hit single. But it's pure perfect pop. Beautiful. All Around.

[@Derwentcub]

This is truly a masterpiece.. Let's do all we can to get it into the charts. It is timeless stuff. I will see that this gets played by friends and contacts I have. It just needs some airplay!

[@domingoruedaalcazar2769]

Mi banda favorita desde los años 70

[@azapro911]

Slade's final two singles were among the best songs they ever did. Charts don't always reward the deserving and real fans know that Slade couldn't have bowed out more brilliantly than with "Radio Wall of Sound" and "Universe". They are unfairly remembered mostly for a fairly cheesy (and by now overplayed) 1973 Christmas song - hey, it was good, but they did so much more quality material than that. They weren't the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, but I feel they deserved more cred than they got.

[@mikepretorius555]

They were much more versatile then the Stones/Beatles and Queen together

[@user-zl3jt6nq8u]

I think so. They ware the only band who could play the hard rock beautifully.

[@kramernaylor7810]

Better than the Stones and Zeppelin

I spent the time to listen to about 15 albums from them. Some of the best time I've ever spent. It took about two - three weeks. I typed in "cum on feel the noize" because I wanted to play along to Quiet Riot. And I found a real band, Slade.

Works better when heard for a second time....suddenly what they were doing just slides effortlessly into place.

[@hectorsalinasisback]

Not politics, we're talking about the people who control the big record company which dictated whether or not Slade would continue. The record company refused to spend the amount of money needed for Slade to have hits and maintain an international fanbase like other popular artists. The end result was Slade dissolving and Noddy left music altogether. Sadly, Slade didn't receive the support they needed from the record company, which had the ability and financial means to boost the band's stature

[@aliengrey6052]

Great band. They could have been another Stones they were that good. The the thing was, Noddy Holder wanted his life back and rightly so. People who’ve never been in a band don’t understand, forget the money touring is an awful existence, from town to town, city to city, country to country. Noddy is a normal happy bloke who was tired of the bullshite side of the music business. Good on you Noddy! Buddy Holley was the same, he wanted to be with his wife and child and that dance party tour was to be his last and it’s a shame he didn’t finish it. He would have probably been alive today. So so sad.

We were bopping to slade in the early 70's and for a change me an the mates went to see Queen, In queens park Bolton as an up coming group ! Simple fact though is Slade were huge in the UK back then ! Queen never quite reached that level They were BIG true but to quote Brian May "slade ARE the biggest as Freddy was trying to tell Nod how to become a success ! " ... ahh great days !

[@ajsmith311]

Frustratingly it very nearly cracked the top 75 twice in its chart run. It debuted at 76, dropped to 84 the following week, back up to 76 again in its third week then dropped back down to 91. Perhaps Polydor would have commissioned a new studio album had it charted just a little higher.
