The SLADE Series: Episode 1 w/the Parish of Rock

[@Sirdamienfrost]

Great episode, the right guest for the band. I'm Australian, and adults would always say to me as a teen "You like rock and metal, check out Slade".

[@SWEETFA24]

Awesome! Love it! 10 years ago I flew from the USA to see Slade and Sweet in Scotland.

best live band of the 70,s early 80,s in the UK, top top band" sadly never to be repeated

Fantastic band live.

Sladest album... good!

[@christianhaynes1954]

Good rocking band . Great vocalist 👍

[@parishofrock2963]

One of the best imo.

[@andywylie6784]

Fantastic chat! Love Slade! My band has been flying the Slade/Sweet appreciation flag for years. The world needs more stomping rock n roll bands these days!

[@GrantsRockWarehaus]

That would be awesome, but I'm afraid those days are gone (I hope not)

[@andywylie6784]

@@GrantsRockWarehaus there is still a scene for it, it just doesn’t get the same push these days. Check out Giuda from Italy when you have time. Excellent stuff!

@@andywylie6784 Not really into Giuda but some others who've put out good new Glam-type records in the past 2 years or so: Billy Tibbals The Hollywood Stars Velvet Insane

[@parishofrock2963]

That’s great to hear, what’s your band called? I’m sure stomping rock n roll will return!

[@jimekberg]

Slade Alive ! is the best album.

Great show

Thanks.

[@TScardoa]

I really dig “ Nobody’s Fool”. Solid mid 70s Lp .

[@parishofrock2963]

I agree really good album

Everyone out there---- Seek out and watch the "Slade in Flame" film.....dark, but fun. Great music.

[@parishofrock2963]

Such a great film. Pretty sure it’s on YT.

Big influence on Kiss. Love the version of Darling Be Home Soon on the live album.

[@parishofrock2963]

They did some great covers in the early years.

This is going to be a great series 😎👍👍👍👍🎼🔥🫵⚡🎵🎯

[@parishofrock2963]

I hope so, thanks for watching.

[@wolf1977]

A band I got into later on (like Grand Funk)...My three fave albums are Slayed, Slade In Flame & Beginnings. Old New Borrowed And Blue & Rogues Gallery are also good ones. Then kinda 'second tier' albums: Nobody's Fools, The New Victoria, Slade Alive! & Play It Loud. Live At The BBC is a quality live collection, and the collection B Sides for 'rarities'

[@GrantsRockWarehaus]

Wolf... totally bringing it! Thanks Wolf!

[@parishofrock2963]

Great choices Wolf. Good to see Rogues Gallery getting a mention.

[@gazfunk]

What about The Damned & Lemmy's version of Ballroom Blitz?

[@DocDoccus]

Lots of comparisons between Slade and Sweet. But when you combine Slade and Sweet, you get Sleet.

[@wolf1977]

Sleet = frozen Glam

[@parishofrock2963]

Sleet would be a great name for a Glam rock era tribute band!

[@GrantsRockWarehaus]

That's true!

[@wolf1977]

I'm actually not huge on Slade Alive! - it's OK (that's why I had it as a '2nd tier' Slade album). Pales in comparison to let's say Humble Pie's Performance Rockin' the Fillmore. "Hear Me Calling" is high energy but I prefer Ten Years After's live version. I actually prefer Live At The BBC (1969 - 1972) for live Slade. 1975's Live At The New Victoria is also not bad...The debut covers two Steppenwolf tracks & a Zappa tune. If I'm honest I knew absolutely nothing about this band until maybe a couple of years ago. Back in the day NOBODY I knew ever mentioned this band. Hendrix manager Chas Chandler also managed them...I don't really like many of the bands most influenced by Slade (like Kiss, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister) so this is one case where for me the 'original' is the best. I've seen some claim that The Stones' "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" 'borrows' from Slade...

[@parishofrock2963]

Whilst I really like Slade Alive, I know what you mean. For me the go to Slade live albums are Slade Alive 2 & Slade On Stage. Maybe because this is the era I saw them live. The recent Reading record is also pretty darn good.
