Slade - Radio wall of sound

[FIALAVLADA]

Krása.Starý dobrý Slejdi

[skintrade]

How come jimmy sung this? Were they going for a 'Def Leppard' Sound?

[mcp666]

@skintrade It was a Jim Lea solo project and then Polydor commissioned two tracks for The Very Best Of Slade but it wasn't in Noddy 's key.

[skintrade]

@mcp666 ah right... thats good to know.. I thought maybe there would be a new album and that they were trying somethin different

[imagination58]

Wow, the geat days of rock!!!

[onslokurgen1]

thanks for posting sladev

[MrWeekendoff]

haha....our thanks to Kim Appleby, Hulk Hogan and Slade!

[douglasgh2]

can we all chip in and get these boys back even for one last night what a dream i would even get a loan to see them live one more time best band eveeeeeer

[teddingtontcu]

@douglasgh2 you would need a loan to buy a bag of chips or a loaf of bread you scrounging scottish faggot

[douglasgh2]

@teddingtontcu stupid teddy can you tell me and the rest of of the listeners to this site what this has to do with the radio wall of sound or any other thing slade have done. as for the loan no i never have had one not even to buy my house my sons house or any of my cars so get it right up you looser

[khuorutstz]

what a great band.

[bigmagic96]

Great moment on TOTP when this was out. During the pause the camera was on Jim, he looked out and you could see he was thinking... we're Slade, twenty years after our first hit we're back on TOTP, back in the charts and we ----ing rule! Tell me I'm right Jim. Anybody else notice?

[HengistTheGreat]

@bigmagic96

I noticed it on our black and white telly mate!

[radiowallofsound]

wooo, what a great name for a song

*grin*

[soulthief1977]

Jim's vocals remind me a little bit of Joe Elliot from Def Leppard.

[ACDCFan15Swe]

Nod and Jim shouldnt have left, I know im not right to tell them what to do but they f..king rocked

[ACDCFan15Swe]

Never knew Jim sang ''Telegram Sam'' until I checked the lyrics a second ago, agree with them T.rex was excellent

[RocktorWho]

lol @ 1:43-1:47, like an uncle at a wedding!

[musicfreak1967]

great rocker and very good sung by Jimmy.

[mikeerowee]

I for got to tie my shoe...if I eat this mushroom, will I trip?

[BigAl709]

They still had it in spades in the 90's i loved Slade in the beginning and still do

[squo2002]

Not the best but one of the greatest I think so

[metalhorse0]

jimmy is playin the guitar

[macca63]

@metalhorse0

That's right Jim is a far better guitar player than Dave and Nod together,

[LOUDNESSrocks]

@macca63 I think that Slade are ALL great musicians!! I would love for this great band to reform with all 4 members: Noddy Holder, Jim Lea, Dave Hill, and Don Powell!! slade is one of the BEST hard-rock bands in the world!!

[Kevinulla]

@LOUDNESSrocks Sure Jimmy is for sure a better guitarist, bass, violin but that is pointless when you put them together, as you said and i agree ... the best.

[carlphone]

@LOUDNESSrocks Fully agreed, I would pay a fortune to see just one show with the original line up. Possible the best band ever!

[metalhorse0]

ya jimm lee

[abre01]

Jim Lea sounds a bit like alice cooper.

[radiowallofsound]

@abre01 sounds a lot like the 90's alice in this song

[PrinceKajuku]

@abre01 actually, it's the other way round

[abre01]

@PrinceKajuku I'm a Slade Fan as well but that's not true :) alice cooper sang like that primarily, for example in "clones" (1980)

[slanicka]

i love that record i love that noize!! hell yeah!-can't imagine this time they are on chart

[e8412561]

...I think Slade get labelled as a glam rock band when they where an out & out rock band.....much under rated...love Noddys voice...it's up there with the best of them....

[stealarocker]

i love that radio wall of sound

rock n roll for ever

acdc a paris france le 12 06 09 stade de france another band rocks

gash from france

[PED51]

Strange how some good songs just fail. Perhaps all the slade fans had grown up, got married, had kids and bills needed paying. Life is cruel when you get older you have to live by priority.

[nick3jags]

Great song but only got to number 21. Why did people buy all the other shit?

[Mercer1503]

they should make a come back

like a final tour or somethin

[MannaMachine69]

Superb track. Lovely little nod to Bolan too.

[tubelogin1]

diabolically awesome!

[samevans1122]

i luv at 1:23 - 1:28

[TheoinRio]

this is a tune and a half

[samevans1122]

this is a masterpiece. one of there best songs i think. i cant believe its only gt 19,000 views. beats me. o well, slade 4 ever

[colemann76]

Sounds like Turn up your radio by Autograph but just as good as it.

[alphadec007]

NODDY HOLDER WHY DID U QUIT ???

[lo06d]

the best slade song

[slavemale2]

Is this the first time that Jim & Noddy shared lead vocal duties?

[RocktorWho]

no, they also did "ready to explode" on The Amazing Kamakaze Syndrome in 83, a song about racing and was over 8 minutes long

[littlegordan]

if anyone has these tabs could u send them 2 me please and thanks u loving this sound

[banginman22]

Slade's last hit, wish they were still around. Sorry Slade 2 don't count. Keep on rockin

[CADAVERHUSK]

i think the lead vocal sounds like the singer from def lepard

[zepstox]

Yeah I thought it was like Joe Elliot, it's Jimmy Lea, the bassist and by far the most musically talented.

[spinaway]

You got that wrong these lads were out late 1969 many bands have tried to emulate there style

[3cwjua]

the guy you can see in the sillhouette at the begining of the song is one of the Motormouth presenters Andy Crane.

[pump35]

A little bit "Quo" esque with the shared vocals. Dosent detract from a good rock tune tho

[rockon1898]

To me, more like the Frampton Marriott partnership in Humble Pie, with Peter taking the lead vocal. Funnily enough this came out right after those last Steve-Pete sessions before Marriott died.

[Perranporth]

Considering that Slade were a firmly established group from the 70s and had gone out of the public eye by 1991, this song was remarkably good.

[Sweetfan78]

I think this was one of Slade's finest offerings. It made No.21 in the British charts & not No.24. Should've been a top tenner. Noddy also thought it was gonna be a smash as he told me when I was fortunate to meet him some years ago.

Although it's missed here on this VHS "Motormouth" tv clip the beginning bit "This is rockin' radio the wall of sound..." is done by DJ Mike Read 'case you didn't know

[RylClown]

thos rocks!!

[Collbo72]

i love this song

[valentynesuite]

bullshit

[carlphone]
