This is my favourite Slade song and this is a truly magnificent live performance for the first minute but then it became the Jim Lea show, complete with lousy seventies special effects that allowed us to watch a violin being played through the transparency window of a superimposed close-up of a violin bein played.
I could hear Dave Hill thumping out a good bass line - would've liked to see a bit of it though.
@Syndicate93 Your profile says that you are from Sweden......hmmmmm. Is it common that people from Sweden know what a typical "Wolverhampton accent" is? Did or do you live there? Or are you some kind of self made genius on accents? Gee, I wonder!
@proslade Well, let's say I've been to Brittain a couple of times, and I have always admired languages and have been able to learn new languages and accents rather easy. Not least by listening to recordings and interviews with Beatles, Stones, Small faces, and of course Slade etc. So I have learned to recognize some of the brittish accents and can tell where they are from, but to be honest I know more english accents than the swedish ones. Most of them sound terrible anyway.
@proslade I'm also from sweden and hear that he has a diffrent accent. But i'm not like other swedes with the horrible sweden accent, I speak american.
All Slade fans! The Official Online Slade Shop is open and it's great! Got all the albums aaaand it has a couple of special podcasts detailing the Slade Story... if you're a fan like me, check it out! Spread the word.... SLADE!!! sladeshop . com
That violin just fitted into this song like a glove, impossible to imagine it without it. What a classic. I was just a tiny kid but I remember this coming out of me mother's radio daily.
@paul054 Yeah live and learn. Try Slade s Kill em at the hot club tonite, Pity the mother or Dapple Rose if you think the musical genius Jim Lea could not play violin. Or his fantastic solo album "Therapy". Don t be fooled by misleading images of this magnificent and once in a generation band.
You are into an overhyped wanker marc Ronson. What else? Beatles I suppose. Well, they could not play violin, the 5th Beatle, George Martin played all the violin parts. Anything non-prejudiced to say Sir?
Noddy Holder is incredibly tough.
