Overview
Slade are from Wolverhampton in the West Midlands. The West Midlands is a Metropolitan county in western central England with a population of 2591300 Don Powell and Jimmy Lea were both born and raised there, although Dave Hill was actually born in Devon and moved to Wolverhampton as a child. Noddy Holder was born and raised in the nearby town of Walsall. Walsall ( is a large industrial town in the West Midlands of England. In writings by and about Slade, the Trumpet public house in Bilston is mentioned frequently as a band meeting place, especially in their early days. Bilston is a town in England 's West Midlands region ( Wolverhampton)
One of the most acclaimed British Rock bands of the 1970s, Slade are especially remembered for their brash songwriting and energetic live performances. Today, the band is often regarded as an obvious pre-cursor to late 1970s British Punk (Sex Pistols, The Clash). The Sex Pistols are an English Punk rock band that formed in London in 1975 For the debut album by The Clash see The Clash (album The Clash were
The group dominated the British charts during the early 1970s. During the height of their success, Slade out-performed their chart rivals Wizzard, Sweet, T.Rex, Suzi Quatro, Mud, Smokie, Gary Glitter, Roxy Music and David Bowie. Wizzard were a Birmingham -based band formed by Roy Wood, former member of The Move and co-founder of Electric Light Orchestra Sweet (referred to as The Sweet on albums before 1974 and singles before 1975 were a popular 1970s British band. TRex (occasionally spelled T Rex or T-Rex) were an English rock band fronted by guitarist singer and songwriter Marc Bolan. Suzi Quatro (born Susan Kay Quatronella, June 3 1950, Detroit, Michigan) is an American Singer-songwriter, Mud were an English Glam rock band, formed in 1968 best remembered for their single "Tiger Feet" which was the UK 's best-selling Smokie are an English Glam rock band from Bradford who found success in Europe in the 1970s Paul Francis Gadd (born 8 May 1944 is an English Glam rock Singer and Songwriter, and is better known by his Stage name Gary Roxy Music is an English Art rock group founded in the early 1970s by art school graduate Bryan Ferry ( vocals and keyboards) David Bowie (ˈboʊiː born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947 is an English Musician, actor producer, and arranger. In the UK, they achieved 12 top five hits from 1971 to 1974, six of which topped the charts. In total, Slade had 17 top 20 hits between 1971 and 1976 including six #1s, three #2s and two #3s. No other UK act of the period enjoyed such consistency in the UK top 40 and Slade actually came the closest to emulating The Beatles' 22 top ten records in a single decade (1960s). The Top Forty or Top 40 is a music industry shorthand for the currently most-popular songs in a particular genre. The Beatles were a pop and rock band from Liverpool, England formed in 1960 Three of their singles entered the charts at #1 and they sold more singles in the UK than any other group of the 1970s.
While Slade's attempts at cracking the United States market were largely unsuccessful, they left their mark on several US bands who cite Slade as an influence. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Kiss bassist Gene Simmons readily admits that his band's early songwriting ethos and stage performance style was influenced by Slade. Kiss (also typeset as KISS) is an American rock band formed in New York City in December 1972 Gene Simmons (born Chaim Witz (pronounced Haium on August 25, 1949) is an Israeli -born American Hard rock Bass In his book "Kiss and Make-Up," Simmons writes on page 85, "the one we kept returning to was Slade," and "we liked the way they connected with the crowd, and the way they wrote anthems. . . we wanted that same energy, that same irresistible simplicity. but we wanted it American-style. " Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick has said that his band went to see Slade perform, and that they used "every cheap trick in the book", thus inadvertently coining his group's name. Tom Petersson ( 9 May 1950, Rockford, Illinois) is the bassist for the Rock band Cheap Trick. Cheap Trick is an American rock band from Rockford Illinois, that gained popularity in the late 1970s Quiet Riot had a U. Quiet Riot was an American heavy metal band whose 1983 & 1984 success contributed to launching the 1980s Glam S. hit with their cover of Cum on Feel the Noize. "Cum On Feel the Noize" is a Hard rock song originally released by Slade in 1973.
The original band's memory was kept alive by comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, who respectfully sent up the band in a number of what the band called 'hysterically accurate' 'Slade in residence' and 'Slade on holiday' sketches in their The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer TV show in the early 1990s - these are available on DVD. Vic Reeves (b 24 January 1959 as James "Jim" Roderick Moir) is an English Comedian, best known for his Double act with Bob Mortimer Robert "Bob" Renwick Mortimer (born 23 May, 1959 in Middlesbrough, England) is a British Comedian and Actor The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer was a BBC TV sketch show written by and starring double act Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer.
It has been said that Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer based their fictional band Spinal Tap, in the film This is Spinal Tap, on Slade. Christopher Guest (born February 5 1948 is an Emmy Award-winning writer Grammy Award-winning composer/musician director and comic actor Harry Julius Shearer (born December 23, 1943) is an American comedic Actor, Writer, Musician, and radio host Spın̈al Tap is a semi-fictional heavy metal band the subject of the 1984 Rockumentary / Mockumentary film This Is {{Unicode|Spın̈al This Is Spın̈al Tap (officially spelled with a non-functional umlaut over the letter 'n' and dotless 'i' is a 1984 mock Rockumentary However, the comedians have since confirmed that the band in the film was based on the "tour diaries" of numerous UK "heavy metal" and "glam" bands. The events occurring to Spinal Tap in the film are based on the real exploits of not only Slade but also Deep Purple, Saxon, Led Zeppelin and Ozzy Osbourne.

While doing research for the film, Shearer and his fellow writers and cast-mates interviewed a number of 70s Rock stalwarts requesting their greatest "road stories". Slade happily contributed several. One of the film's primary plot-points revolves around Spinal Tap attempting to "break America".

The story of Slade's bewildered (and sometimes misguided) tries at U. S. audiences resulted in the film's primary concept; thus, their frequent association with the movie.
In fact, at one point in the film, Spinal Tap is listed on a marquee as playing second billing to a Puppet Show. Noddy Holder tells a similar story regarding Slade's "low phase" in his autobiography, "Who's Crazee Now?!".
Career history
The band started out as the N'Betweens in 1966 with Noddy Holder and amongst others were Tony Taylor (aka Big T), formed from members of two Midlands bands, The Vendors and Steve Brett & The Mavericks. They initially had little success, apart from on the local club circuit, where they were extremely busy and in the late 1960s the band changed its name to Ambrose Slade and hooked up with manager Chas Chandler. Bryan James "Chas" Chandler ( 18 December 1938 — 17 July 1996) was an English Musician, Record producer Their name was eventually shortened to Slade, and the band adopted a skinhead look, as an attempt to gain publicity from what was a newsworthy youth fashion trend. A skinhead is a member of a Subculture that originated among Working class youths in the United Kingdom in the 1960s and then spread to other parts of They later abandoned this look, due to the unwelcome association with football hooliganism. Football hooliganism such as brawls vandalism and intimidation carried out by Association football club supporters and fans They grew their hair long again, in time to become a leading part of the glam rock movement, releasing songs with deliberately Black Country-style mis-spelled titles which made them stand out. Glam rock (also known as glitter rock) is a sub-genre of Rock music that developed in the UK in the post- Hippie early 1970s which was "performed by The Black Country is a loosely defined area of the English West Midlands conurbation, to the north and west of Birmingham, and to the south and east of Wolverhampton
From 1971 to 1975, the band scored many huge-selling consecutive hit albums and singles. Their most noted Christmas anthem has resurfaced seasonally and formed one of a successions of singles that entered the charts at number one - a feat unheard of since the days of The Beatles. The Beatles were a pop and rock band from Liverpool, England formed in 1960 After dominating the chart in 1973, 1974 saw a slight change in musical direction for the band. The soundtrack album to their only film, Slade In Flame (1974) contained a more mature sound and perhaps remains to this day their most influential album, with clever use of brass and piano, somewhat forerunning bands such as the Jam and Oasis. Their concerts were all automatic sellouts, and the band was the first to take the risk of booking the massive Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London for a couple of nights (although David Bowie promptly booked the venue for a couple of dates before Slade were due to perform). The Earls Court Exhibition Centre (also known as Earls Court Arena or often simply Earls Court) is an entertainment venue located in West London, London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. David Bowie (ˈboʊiː born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947 is an English Musician, actor producer, and arranger. Following the ground-breaking shows, Don Powell was critically injured in a car crash and with his life in danger, the band's future was left in the balance. Powell eventually recovered, although he still suffers with acute short-term memory and sensory problems.
Partly due to changes in music trends and the advent of punk rock and New Wave music, Slade's success faded somewhat by the late 1970s, although the group continued to release records and punk bands were not afraid to cite them as an influence. New Wave is a Rock music genre that existed during the late 1970s and the 1980s
In August 1980, Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard Of Ozz cancelled their set at the Reading Festival with very short notice. John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born December 3 1948) is a British singer Slade, who had all but disbanded, were recommended to replace them. A demoralised Dave Hill had effectively left the band and initially refused to do the show when asked by the other band members, but manager Chas Chandler convinced Hill to play what could very well have been their last ever live show in front of a huge crowd rather than in a small club. Bryan James "Chas" Chandler ( 18 December 1938 — 17 July 1996) was an English Musician, Record producer To Hill's utter astonishment, the band were well-received at the festival (highlights of their performance were also broadcast on BBC Radio 1's Friday Rock Show Reading special), and quickly became darlings of the music press again — despite doing nothing at all differently at Reading than they had done onstage in recent years. The Friday Rock Show was a Radio show in the United Kingdom that was broadcast on BBC Radio 1 from 2200 to 0000 on Friday nights from 1978 to
A new run of chart success followed, though not on the large scale of their 1970s heights. In 1980, the heavy rocking "We'll Bring the House Down" reached #10 in The UK, and an album of the same name got to #25. Holder and Lea became in-demand for production and songwriting duties for other acts for a while, including Girlschool. Girlschool are a long-running British all-female Heavy metal band originating out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene Slade had two UK top 10 hits in 1984, with "My Oh My" (#2) and "Run Runaway" (#7). These singles also reached the US top-40, with "Run Runaway" peaking at #20. Interestingly enough, these hits happened despite Slade not touring to support the releases. A year after the triumph of "My Oh My", the band reached the UK top-20 with "All Join Hands", another vaguely Christmas-styled song.
They later returned to the UK Singles Chart in 1991 with the song "Radio Wall of Sound". The UK Singles Chart is compiled by The Official UK Charts Company (OCC on behalf of the British record industry
Holder became weary of constant touring, effectively managing the band and of the music business and left the band in late 1991 after 25 years. The remainder of the band were given a period of notice in which to consider their options. Rather than take on another singer, Lea effectively retired from live work, preferring to work quietly, at his own pace, alone in the studio.
Lea had released a solitary low-profile solo single under his own name and three others, plus an album as The Dummies, during the latter years of his tenure with Slade. After Slade split, Lea remained resolutely silent, save for the rather sporadic release of a few singles under pseudonyms such as The Clout, Greenfields Of Tong and also as Whild.
In 2007, however, he finally released an album of mainly unheard new original material, credited with his full name, James Whild Lea, entitled Therapy. He has recently said that he has amassed a large number of finished recordings that could be made available in the near future. Lea has no plans to tour to promote future releases, which are available via his own internet retail outlet.
Powell and Hill (the band's founder members) formed Slade II with three other local musicians at that point. The suggestion to call the group Slade II came from Noddy Holder. The group name was once again shortened to Slade after a period and over the years a number of new members have come and gone with only Hill and Powell remaining constant throughout. The group work solidly on the UK theatre circuit in the winter months and throughout Europe during the rest of the year. They have released one album, which has been retitled a number of times and a few singles in Europe.
Slade's Influence
"Slade was certainly our greatest influence; not only in the crafting of rock songs but also as performers. Before Slade, no one really knew shit about how to make an audience riot. We really got off on that. There would probably never have been us without them. " - Gene Simmons (Kiss)
"I spent most of the early 70s listening to Slade Alive thinking to myself, "Wow - this is what I want to do. Gene Simmons (born Chaim Witz (pronounced Haium on August 25, 1949) is an Israeli -born American Hard rock Bass Kiss (also typeset as KISS) is an American rock band formed in New York City in December 1972 I want to make that kind of intensity for myself. A couple of years later I was at CBGB's doing my best Noddy Holder. " - Joey Ramone (The Ramones)
"Slade never compromised. Joey Ramone ( May 19 1951 – April 15 2001) born as Jeffrey Ross Hyman, was a vocalist and Songwriter best The Ramones were an American rock band often regarded as the first Punk rock group We always had the feeling that they were on our side. I don't know but I think we were right. " - Steve Jones (Sex Pistols)
"They are a good group. Stephen Phillip Jones (born 3 September, 1955 in Shepherds Bush, London) is an English rock Guitarist The Sex Pistols are an English Punk rock band that formed in London in 1975 I wanted to join them!" - Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Blackmore's Night)
"I couldn't do the heavy rock thing anymore. For the rugby league footballer of the same name see Richie Blackmore (rugby league Richard Hugh "Ritchie" Blackmore (born Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertfordshire in 1968 A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of Light to appear in the Sky when the Sun Blackmore's Night is a Renaissance -inspired Folk rock band led by Ritchie Blackmore ( Electric guitar and acoustic guitar) and Noddy Holder was around kicking every singer in the ass. I never wanted to be a pop singer. Christ, how I hated Noddy!" - Tom Jones
"Slade was the coolest band in England. Sir Thomas John Woodward, (born 7 June 1940 known by his stage name Tom Jones, is a Welsh pop music singer particularly noted for his powerful voice They were the kind of guys that would push your car out of a ditch. " - Alice Cooper
"Slade was never pretentious. Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American rock singer songwriter and musician whose career spans five It was just music to them. Pop, rock, soul. . . . it was all the same to Slade. They wrote great songs. And, besides, I'd like to raid their wardrobe. " - Noel Gallagher (Oasis)
"The whole punk rock thing really happened because of bands such as Slade and the like; rock bands that wouldn't back off. Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born 29 May 1967 in Manchester, England is the lead guitarist backing vocalist and occasional lead vocalist of British rock band Oasis Oasis are an English rock band that formed in Manchester in 1991 " - Paul Weller (The Jam/The Style Council)
"Absolutely. Paul Weller (born John William Weller 25 May 1958 in Sheerwater near Woking, Surrey) is an English Singer-songwriter. The Jam were an English Mod revival band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s The Style Council were an English musical group formed in 1983 by ex- The Jam singer and guitarist Paul Weller with keyboardist Mick Talbot. Slade! A band that would never bend over. " - Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
"Slade was pretty much the only thing metal about glam rock in the 70s. Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20 1967 – c April 5 1994 was an American musician who served as lead singer, Guitarist, and songwriter for the Seattle Nirvana was an American rock band that was formed by singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen Washington. " - Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe)Ironically, Slade would replace Motley Crue as the opening act for Ozzy Osbourne. Nikki Sixx (born Frank Carlton Serafino Feranna Jr December 11, 1958, San Jose California) is an American bassist, Mötley Crüe ( IPA pronunciation: /'mɒtliː John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born December 3 1948) is a British singer
"Whatever happened to bands that rocked liked Slade? Y'know, that no-bullshit, fuck you, in your face, we're bad-as-hell-and-we-know-it kind of band?" - David Coverdale (Whitesnake)
"All right? You look like Dave Hill from Slade" - Karl Pilkington, referring to his girlfriend's abysmal haircut, on the Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant & Karl Pilkington XFM Radio show, 08 November 2003 (transcript [1])
