One of Black Country’s finest (besides Lenny Henry), glam rock band Slade from Walsalll, England brought us the 1973 Christmas classic “Merry Xmas Everybody” which certified platinum, becoming their biggest selling single to date.
Initially known as Ambrose Slade, the band formed in 1966 with the original line up comprising of vocalist Noddy Holder, guitarist Dave Hill, Jim Lea on bass and Don Powell on percussion. Releasing their debut album “Beginnings” in 1969 although with little chart success, it demonstrated the band’s diversity with the inclusion of covers by Marvin Gaye, The Beatles, Steppenwolf and Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes.
The seventies saw Slade dominate the UK chart with a string of number one singles including: “Coz I Luv You”, “Take Me Bak ‘Ome” and “Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me”. Slade’s success continued with the 1972 album “Slayed” and “Old New Borrowed and Blue” (1974) which also saw them clinch the number one spot in the UK charts.
On an incredible high, in the mid-seventies Slade made another attempt to crack the USA touring relentlessly for two years sharing the stage with the likes of Black Sabbath, Aerosmith and ZZ Top. In 1977 the band were invited to perform the track “Gyspy Roadhog” on an episode of Blue Peter, instead it resulted in a flurry of complaints due to the song’s reference to drug and alcohol abuse which subsequently led to the song being banned from the BBC altogether. Struggling to maintain precedence in the charts left Slade back at square one during the late seventies.
Thanks to a spot of luck in 1980, Slade re-entered the spotlight when they replaced Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osborne at Reading Rock Festival which steered them back onto the road of success, releasing the albums “We’ll Bring the House Down” (1981) and “The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome” (1985).
Aside from providing the eternal Christmas classic and a string of hit singles, Slade will forever be one of those band’s whose influence is everlasting, with tracks that soundtrack scores of generations who have inspired instrumental contemporary rock bands such as: Smashing Pumpkins, Motley Crue, Cheap Trick and The Sex Pistols.
Leer másSometimes, you just need a good, old-fashioned dose of glam rock. The thing you have to recognize when watching an “older” act in concert is that you’re not really there for the performance, you’re there for the nostalgia. And while Slade may have abandoned a lot of that glam rock couture that marked its heyday, the attitude is still all there.
You see it on the stage. This British rock band has aged well, and in a strange twist of time, you can hear the people they influenced in the music. Your mom, your dad? They were right when they said that the old songs were better. Perhaps the best part of concerts like these is the audience. They, like you, hopefully, are there for the artist. They’re there for the experience and the nostalgia too. So they’re into it, they’re grooving, in a way that a more halting, timid audience seeing a newer act for the first time just can’t manage.
There’s a certain swell of belonging, a nice feeling of coming home after a long trip gone that newer acts can’t manage either. It’s a combination of an act that knows what they’re doing and an audience that’s getting off on it. It’s the best kind of feedback loop.
For the fair-weather music fan, Wolverhampton rock outfit Slade are nothing more than the Noddy Holder fronted band famed for their festive hit 'Merry Xmas Everybody'. For everybody else they are considered one of the Midlands most celebrated and iconic exports who have gone on to diversely influence the likes of Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Kiss and The Sex Pistols to name a few.
Now performing without Noddy, the current quartet is headed up by Dave Hill. They remain regulars on the live circuit, having performed over a thousand times since their incarnation in the late 60s. The fans have not come to hear new material which is handy as the band has not released an original album in over 25 years, they are here for the classics including 'Cum On Feel the Noize' and 'Mama Were All Crazee Now'. Despite the grammatical inaccuracy of the titles, there was no denying these tracks were some of the biggest rock singles of the 70s and they are still held fondly by the fans. It is a brief gig yet it is one of great skill, nostalgia and music overall.
A rip roaring hang on to your pants A-Z trip of the greatest hits of Slade. No pretentiousness just a rockin good time. By the way, Dave and his pals can really play and do so with energy, passion and fun. A must see gig stil up there with the current crop of new British bands. They stand the test of time, sounding as fresh and energetic as the days when we were dreamers, schemers and wannabees. ROCK ON SLADE!
great night having been to many Slade gigs over the years this was one of the best great line up I did think that Don Powell would have been back behind the drums after his year off but the stand in drummer was as good hope to see them again next year keep on rocking
Excellent band, they really know how to Rock. 2nd time I’ve seen them in the last four years, would definitely recommend getting to a gig to see them. Took my son both times, he also enjoys the concerts.
