When I found sources that this song peaked at #49 in Germany via my wikipedia work on Slade, I was more sure than ever that this song would have been a big hit elsewhere if given the chance. I wonder if the UK would have taken to the song? Probably so. Slade at their loudest, most fun, with a great riff and some great vocal that promotes audience participation.
I remember Slade opening their set with this at Castle Donnington in front of 70,000 heavy metal heads and they were absolutely amazing. It was raining but they tore the place apart. B lue oyster cult who followed died a death. I have always loved heavy metal such as manowar, accept, but even Lemmy used to claim the only band louder was slade. Bless em.
@TheShotgunslade I was there Shotgun and yes it was a great and glorious day. They showed Reading wasn't a fluke, which all true fans knew ofcourse, and that they are and always will be the absolute guvnors.
I see the light...I see the light.....lordy lordy....hahaha The guy is very crazy...hey watermelon head.!!!..Who is your god???? He's into the fire? haha..But Slade is pretty cool.
saw slade in the 80s at shefield lyceum with this tour next day my bird finished with me several years later she had a kid with spinabifida thanks preacher things happen for a reason
They didn't crack the US themselves but influenced loads of US bands Kiss said they modeled themselves on a US version of Slade. Nirvans said they were an influence and Michael Stipe has said that they are the band that he would most like to see reform
saw this tour at sheffield lycium in 1981 with a bird next day she packed me in the next time i saw them i took a bird and now shes me wife of 24 years funny women
Like many glam rock bands of the 70's, Slade were excellent musicians, & this track proves it ! I wish a band would come along now, & be as much as fun as these boys....
@cbyam1300 Most Americans don't even know who Slade is. They were banned in the U.S. I was in the music industry in the 70's and knew who they were. I worked with the Godz and did lights and sound for Kiss. Every time Quiet Riot would put out a hit I recognized it as a remake of a Slade song. I had a copy of the Sladiest Slade alblum. Loved them the very first time I heard them.
@bmw120556 Thanks for your reply.....I am interested in why Slade were banned in the US..... were any other bands of this time banned too, such as The Sex Pistols, The Damned or The Clash ?
haha, thats in a german tv show for older people.... those ones know slade as old cool rockband... but that song the grandpas and grandmas in that show didnt really expect.
from the way it looks,shows back then were lame as far as the crowd goes. no movement.they just SIT there like fukking zombies. Get up & move your ass. especially the ladies ;)
I'll betcha this sparked a few arguments with the pissed off priests and ministers blaming rock n roll for everything that went wrong in everyone's life back then?
I remember Slade opening their gig in the Oxford Apollo in about 1982 with this number. Still is the BEST GIG ever!!!! Then I bought ALL of their albums.
This is a really cool song by SLADE - been a fan for years, this song has been ripped off by AC/DC the guitar riffs in the song "Fire your Guns" off the Razors Edge Album sound nearly the same !!!
Strange init... some bands from Britain were HUGE in America, some just couldn't make it. Cream - huge. Beatles - Huge. Stones - Huge. Slade, SAHB, Family just didn't make it. I can't see any patterm to it...
I think when Slade was happening, in America the glam rock scene started to happend and people like David Bowie were the people to follow because of the glam look.
How come I missed this one at the time? Brill. Don't think the yaks really got "Glam rock". they were still doing the Eagles, Beach Boys, Lynyrd Skynyrd et al. All fine bands, just not with the raucous rough edge of Slade or with glam. Hell it was good time.
It's only a sissy who can't handle listening to anything he doesn't consider 'masculine enough'. Slade ROCKED. If you're upset because they give you a hard-on, complain to someone else or don't watch.
HAHAHHAHA are you a fucking imbecile? He said "one of the reasons they couldn't have gotten popular was that they weren't sissy enough for glam rock"
And then look at my comment. I live for 80s rock and roll and slade/bowie/new york dolls/the sweet. So before you go insulting me, or my musical tastes which you know so much about, fucking learn the english language
