Oh you Naysayers all of you calm down you guys all think Noddy Holders grow on trees they don,t this guys tryin his ass off and few give em credit can,t you see it for what it is a tribute only thing that can wreck your memory is whiskey and speed.
Why is it other bands can have new members and carry on but Slade get criticised? Mal is NOT trying to be Noddy Holder. Go and actually see the band and see the enjoyment of the crowd. Who knows what they would sound like these days if Nod and Jim had stayed? If they sounded crap then they would be Slaughtered.Nods voice went which is why he does fuck all singing wise. Slade were Dave and Dons band from the beginning. Have a chat to Mal McNulty and you will see he is not trying to be Noddy
I know the members need the money & dont we all!... But this is going to give todays generation a false impression of what the band sounded like. All that work that was put into the SLADE band from the begining will be for nothin. Oh well... the origianl LP's will always remain to really show the world what they sounded like one time back in 1972.
So, why did Noddy leave and why is everyone so sure he will never sing again?
He sure can't keep off the tele for long...
Bottom line is Noddy and Jim refuse to play so Dave and Don have to play with other guys. Good luck to 'em. People keep making out like they're the bad guys. If Noddy and Jim are missing then surely that is down to Noddy and Jim. Give Dave and Don a break.
yes i agree here in North Carolina USA. if noddy dont want to do it then thats that. im glad dave and don are at least keeping slade rock and roll ALIVE. and also daves playing is better than ever and so is the equip they use now. so noddy and jim are missing out but they aint dead yet... just look at the fans they love it. bottom line.
Noddy left because he was bored doing it.Lots of in band arguements too.
Having just seen Slade in Torquay I got to say they were great.Don Powell always has a chat at the stage door and the whole show was full of fun.
Not is gone.His voice is shot to hell after years of singing like he did.He is also a grumpy git who on one hand plays down his Slade days whilst still using it for fame. Leave it there.
I have seen them live and they are great. The singer is actually very good. Not as good as Noddy, but Noddy is a hard act to follow! The problem here is the sound quality of this recording is poor and the vocals are distorted as hell and you can hear more of the audience (who are not exactly in tune) than you can of the singer!
Dave Hill and Don Powell were spot on. The bass player even plays the violin like Jim Lea did.
they have mal mcnulty singing with them now i believe, this guy departed. yes he seems like a poor noddy imitator. new guy sang with sweet for a while!
Slade were one of my fave early 70`s Glam Rockers who should have made it big then in the USA. But this is like watching The Stones without Mick Jagger or Motorhead without Lemmy!Didn`t they make enuff munny to retyre cumfatably on? Without having to find a sound alike? Only band this ever worked for were ACDC. And I like them better without Bon! But Slade without Noddy is not a go.
does everyone here just bang on about "wheres noddy n jim" this sounds ok to me and i saw the origonal line up 3 times in the early 80s, Dave n Don still need to make a living and have a purpose in life and listening to their guitar and drums they still do it very well.
yes i do agree with you noddy was the voice of sladewe still keep in touch but he is never coming back same with jim i agree the singer aint the best but there will never be another NODDY OR JIMMY LEA
ok thats settled then i didnt mean to insult you with the first comment,i once gave some people myself ahard time on my tube as some guy had put together his own compilation on jimmy paige and people just ripped him apart cos it wasnt factuel correct,so it bugged me as people put a lot of energie and time into putting things together so peace abd a happy new year,ps still a geat band .
Just remember all, if Noddy was still keen, you wouldn't have the 'old' Noddy back, you'd have the 61year old Noddy, which might not be quite the same ;-)
Check out the singer of Darkcide on youtube- hes Australias Noddy..well he was.its a long time ago, but he sounded a lot like Nod, but nobody sounds like Noddy, hes a one off. the best ever.
If you were lucky enough to have seen the "ORIGINAL" SLADE in concert back in the 70's you would have to agree with out a doubt that there was a fantastic surge in Sound & energy "THEN" that is missing in the slade of today. But the slade of today still can kick some serious ass to any band that stands in thier way. MAY YOUR MEMORY LIVE FOREVER! & KEEP ON ROCKIN! THE SNAZZ,California--USA
thats total dogs droopy bits m8. NODDY wasnt the one to start Slade that was Dave hill and Don powell ( best drummer in the world)
if noddy was the ONE why he leave?? ( i know the REAL reason) and NO i wont say it top you or anyone else cos its a private and deeply personal reason.
Apart from that noddy had a great voice and was a great singer but he cant do it anymore so its time to let him go and appreciate the new voice of SLADE Mal Mc Nulty
its a GREAT video and regardless of your pitiful views mal is the only replacement for Noddy, SLADE wasnt made on one person it was a group thing, and when Noddy left someone else had to take over the mantle and MAL is the only one who ever came close to noddy`s voice.
he isnt straining to sing he has to get over the noise of the music as well.
And for all those who thing SLADE was all NODDy your sad and very delusional.
i was backstage m8 keeping an eye on the gear cos of some shady peeps in the vicinity i also drove Don to/from Stanstead to blackpool to make sure he arrived safely and that he could get home again quickly.
I have to agree with Monsterpop. The heart of the band is no longer there. Jim was the musician, and Noddy had a unique voice. To see, or rather hear,what they've lost check out Jim's new album THERAPY.
I watch this and cringe. There really is no replacement for Noddy. I know Don & Dave have to make a living but have they ever listened to the playback ? Its awfull. Shame really. Best wishes to all the old fans out there, like me still living with their old memories of better and more tunefull days......
This is only half of Slade. The singer is better than the last clown they had but still sounds nothing like the real Noddy Holder and the Bass player only plays a quarter of the notes Jim Lea did.
Saw Slade in Louisville in 71 or 72. Loved the show, actually sat on the edge of the stage in front of Noddy in his top hat. Marshall Tucker was the warm up band.
i need another slade fix lol.. these make me want to be back at bilston ... oh well easter will be here eventualy an then got newark and clumber to look forward to an then maybe lincoln .. then the xmas tour .... oh well 2007 aint gonna be so bad lol

Personally?
I think if the "ORIGINAL" members
Slade dont want to play with each
other again for what ever reason,
They should with respect RETIRE
the name SLADE & go under a
diff name.
thesnazz 2 years ago
When I saw slade hit the stage
back in 1972 in S.F the whole
place went wild & they had a
super powerful kick you right
in the chest sound. Thats
because they were thee
origianl "SLADE" and
they were fresh & ready
to take on the world!.
thesnazz 2 years ago
With all due respects to everyone....
But i saw slade when they came
to San Francisco,Calif and I have
to tell you that the way the band
sounds now with out thee original
lineup?....
It just sounds like a wanna be Slade
garage band. Thats just the truth.
