Slade

From UK

Listed under : Pop Rock 1970-1980

David : So many of todays bands would not exist had it not been for Slade paving the way. Oasis, The Who, Ozzy Osbourne all acknowledge Slade. Listen to 'Slade Alive' and then try and tell me Slade were not a great band.

How about Slade at Reading 1980? They blew the opposition off Stage. A band without a hit record for yonks, on the verge of splitting up, came and did what they did best, playing rock and enjoying it too. Between 1976 and 1980 Slade were having a rough time. Radio play was practically non-existant and guitarist Dave Hill was adamant at the time that he wanted nothing to do with Slade. He'd actually gone into the wedding car biz. Some sweet talking by then manager Chas Chandler, persuaded him to do Reading. The rest is history.What other band could get away with playing a Christmas song in the middle of summer? Never forget this band. There will never be another like it.

mick lemon : Met a guy in Lincolnshire some years ago who said his name was Slade & group was named after him but he left before the hits. I seem to remember a TV documentary about him. Have lost contact with him & can find no reference to him anywhere. Can anyone help with info?

kangy : Totally underrated, simply the best live band to come out of the early seventies ! If you were lucky enough to experience a SLADE concert you know what I mean. The atmosphere was like a football match where everybody was supporting the same team. Also they never seem to get the credit they deserve for all the great tunes they wrote including six no'1s. They were good time rock n` roll personified !
