Awesome group. I really love these guys music.

They were so much better than I ever realised, loads of great songs, and coming from Birmingham myself I feel so proud of them.

Saw them at the Odeon Birmingham - absolutely electric!!! One of the best live performances I've had the pleasure to witness - and I've seen some biggies over the years. Met Dave Hill in the Cotswolds shortly after his stroke, he was so down to earth and a real nice guy. I know they never will, but bloody hell they'd sell out everywhere if they did a few specials!!! 🤞

I'm 76 years old and I thought I was the only one who liked Slade. I would tell people about them and they would say "Who?" They are why I like AC/DC.

I've noticed that many Slade songs, even sound good when played by mediocre artists or amateurs. That's how good their songs are!

I'm 29. This video came into my recommendations a few months ago. Ever since I've been obsessed. I have always loved bands like ELO, Beatles, Queen, etc... but Slade is different. They are fun and unique. Wish I could have experienced this when it was happening.

They were my favorite band as a teen in the seventies. Lots of energy, driving guitar chords, and Noddy Holder with the perfect gravel voice for rock! Could never figure out why they weren’t bigger in America! Quiet Riot got famous doing exact replica covers of their songs! Great rock band!

I first heard them when that 1986 album was released, and every song a winner. An older guy said, "Man you gotta hear this!," and was he ever right! It is still one of my favorite hard rock albums to this very day. That song Dog House says it all. Yah, Ozzy was right about the lead singer's voice, and he ought to know. Thanks Slade for all the solid hours of excitement and fun! Keep up the good work.

Slade was better than a lot of famous bands in the US! Definitely better musically than Kiss! Should have been huge in the US!

I just discovered these guys thanks to quarantine and I am hooked! They were amazing!

SLADE--FOREVER!!!

Went to Slade concert in 1978 in Wroclaw, Poland. Greatest concert I've ever seen!

Ive been a huge fan since 1976. Could not imagine life without Slade.

Such a fantastic band. I was lucky enough to see them play the Paramount Theater in Seattle in 1973.

this band just put a smile on your face every time you listen to them-what more do you want ?

When they first appeared on TOTP someone from the BBC costume department asked Noddy did he want a kipper tie,and Noddy said "Yes ,with milk and two sugars"

Slade - из ряда вон выходящее явление, единение рока с юмором. Играли просто, легко и на лицах была улыбка. Мои дети (30+) заражены роком благодаря Slade. Slade - out of the ordinary phenomenon, the unity of rock with humor. They played simply, easily and had a smile on their faces. My children (30+) are infected with rock thanks to Slade.

I followed Noddy (and his minder) down Denmark Street one afternoon in 1985. He was obviously checking out guitars. Being from New Zealand, and a huge Slade fan, I was somewhat starstruck.. I went in to two different shops he was in, trying to pluck up the courage to ask for an autograph...when I saw them go into a third shop, I thought 'here;'s my chance'...the minder was standing at the doorway as I arrived and in no uncertain terms told me to 'f off'! So off I f'd!

To me they are the best ever. No one before or after made me rock as hard. If I were stranded in a little island far from the coast I would like to have with me Old New Borrowed and Blue, Nobody's Fool and Whatever Happened to Slade.

SLADE!!!! Я вырос на ваших хитах!!! Бравоооооо!!!!! ДОРОГИЕ СТАРИЧКИ!!!!

I remember watching Slade (the "house band") on ToTP regularly in 1973. I was only 5. My dad used to say "he's only shouting!" I'm currently reading Don's excellent autobiography, "Look Wot I Dun". Roller coaster ride! Oh, and they formed on March 19th, 1966 - not April 1st. Chas made that up years later, probably for the Nobody's Fools press release.

A great band, and nice memories of being a kid in the early 70s.

Good music... i'm amaze, i'm born 67, along my life you are in my day life on my hearth and radio....

Slade are the ultimate working class heroes rock band

As a sixties child who grew up on the Stones, Beatles and then the masters Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix. The Who and Pink Floyd at the time of Slade's success I was right hippy snob having been and helped set up the famous Isle of Wight Pop Festival. Reluctantly and keen to get a much younger lady than me (ie 18 and me 26) in bed I agreed to take her to the Slade Live at Finsbury Park Rainbow theatre and felt a right wally with all the little tweenies there. But I was absolutely gob smacked that their first number was Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf and it was bloody good, and then they did a perfect rendition of Darling Be Home Soon by The Loving Spoonfield and I was 'gone' man 'solid gone'. Five records later I had forgotten about the girl, lost her, at the front of the stage jumping up and down and clapping with all the screaming girls around me. I have been to many gigs and saw nearly every famous touring band in those days and I can truly say that apart from the WHO at about 2:30am at the Isle of Wight in the morning of very tired, wet and cold in the mud was galvanized with half a million others and the help of four bright wartime giant search lights that woke us up to Won't Get Fool Again and most of Tommy that we became 'alive' as I have never had or again - BUT !!! SLADE without doubt are the second best 'LIVE' rock band ever .

Мне было 15 ,74 год ,когда первый раз послушали эту музыку,чуть раньше Битлз, такая была необычная музыка....Очень нравился Диппперпл,Ледзеппелен, извините я не знаю английский,..Абба тоже слышали...

Couldn't stand them back in the 70's but as I've got older I definitely appreciate them more.

The most brilliant thing on posted in 45 years!

love this band,,

Noddy is offered the chance to do a reunion gig, but he's thrown all his old clothes away and he can't remember what clobber he used to wear onstage, so he goes to a charity shop in Wolverhampton that specialises in 70s gear, and says to the proprietor "Well, I've been offered this gig, lost all my old stuff, what do I need?" "You'll need some platform shoes" - "OK, fine, Give me a pair of those" "You always wore Oxford Bag trousers in tartan" - "Fantastic, a pair of them too then please" "And braces for the trousers, and a shirt with enormous lapels" - "Brilliant, put them on the pile" Noddy thinks for a while.... "Is there anything else?" "Kipper Tie?" "Aye thanks mate, milk and three sugars please"

The 70's were not all depressing, with strikes etc, But Slade blew the cobwebs away.

I saw these cats at the Masonic Temple in Detroit around 1975 I think. They were the warm up band for Robin Trower when his "bridge of sighs" album was rocking us all.

Thanks for adding those comments Dave - I saw them back in 74 and they were awesome - I always loved them

What surprises me after all these years is the secrecy around his first wife Leandra.

"We all got long hair, we all looked good. In fact we all had girlfriends back then" lol!

I had a ticket to see Slade and Kiss in Fresno Ca sometime in the mid-70s, then Slade canceled out and then Kiss did, never did see Slade, and that was who I really wanted to see. They had a sound that was all their own, some guys could sing. Holder had a voice.

Great memories...first saw SLADE at Melbourne Showgrounds in 1973...in those days video clips were few and far between in Australia and very few articles put name to face...so I assumed the lead singer was Dave Hill...got over the shock after five minutes and enjoyed that performance from then on even though it only clocked in around 70 minutes...Status Quo and Lindisfarne were the other acts on the bill.

Funny they mentioned playing Bournemouth in the skinhead days and finding the place full of...skinheads. I remember it well as my band Room were the support band...and we were "hairies". November 1969. We thought Slade were accepted by the audience...I know we weren't. But I'd brought along a water pistol...and used it on some of the mouthy skinheads at the front...for some reason (thankfully) they loved it. And so I carried on. Two of Slade (not gonna say who) were nice fellas and chatted to us as equals. Happy days.
