Neville "Noddy" Holder is the lead singer. They had 17 consecutive top 20 hits, of which 6 reached #1 on the UK Singles Charts all between 1971and 1973. A fun fact: Noddy Holder was a roadie for Robert Plant. He used to run him to gigs using his dad's window cleaning van. More Slade please ❤
@ Thanks, that's interesting! Must be something magical about that riff. Or maybe people just mixed them up.😀 I had both those singles and never noticed! Pitiful ear, huh?! But I was only 11!
Quiet Riot covered this song on their second album "Condition Critical" .Metal Health was their first album"Bang Your Head" & "Come On Feel The Noise".i hope you listen to their version Jay More Slade "My Oh My" is a great song too
You need to do "How does it feel", one of the great under appreciated masterpieces from the 70's. Maybe a movie reaction of Flame which is a fantastic movie with several great songs including "Them kind of monkeys can't swing", an absolute banger and another underappreciated masterpiece.
Fabulous guys, real gentleman, brilliant musicians, Noddys’ voice is incredible. I wish I could go back in time they were better days for music, atmosphere and a simpler life!
You really need to listen to their album 'Slade Alive' which is probably one of the greatest live recordings. This album was recorded during 2 nights of one of their tours.
LOVE Slade, they were ridiculously British. Lead singer is Noddy Holder, Dave Hill is lead guitar with the long hair with the short fringe!! Try "Cum on Feel the Noize" another Slade early 70's classic , and at Christmas "Merry Christmas Everybody" which has been played religiously every Christmas in the UK since 1973, it's not Christmas until you have heard that!!!
Glam Rock was just plain old good fun! Slade, Sweet, T-Rex, etc. It was great to let your hair down, no talented dancing or singing required. Just join with the band, jump around, sing your head off and get loud! What a release. Should be prescribed by psychologists!
When Bon Scott passed away in 1980 Noddy Holder was asked to join AC/DC such was his high regard as a lead vocal - one of the best rock vocalists - Noddy turned them down as he was still in Slade and believed in Slade even though Slade were struggling - no major record deal and playing in small clubs/universities at the time. Would have been interesting if Noddy did join AC/DC as Noddy was also a very good guitarist and song writer with Jimmy Lea. Asked by Wyatt if it was just an urban myth that he was lined to replace Bon Scott, Noddy confirmed that it was indeed true, however he doesn’t regret saying ‘no’ despite AC/DC’s gargantuan success with Brian Johnson. “I was asked (to join AC/DC),” Noddy said. “They did approach me - not directly to me but they approached my management - whether I’d like to join AC/DC. I think they probably heard that Slade was sort of on the verge of breaking up and apparently, I was approached to join them. “I said I’d turn it down, y’know, I still got in my head that Slade was still a force to be reckoned with and that we’d still be carrying on. But I would have turned it down anyway because Slade was my baby; it was the thing that I worked with for years, worked hard with for years.” Noddy continued: “I knew Brian (Johnson) from the band Geordie and Geordie had played with (Slade) a few times. So, I knew Brian - I thought Brian was the perfect choice for them anyway. He's great. They became obviously a huge, huge band and produced probably some of the greatest rock music that's ever been - and still are! I mean I just loved AC/DC as a band Wyatt then asked whether knowing what he knows now about AC/DC’s all-conquering success, would Noddy join the band if he could turn the clocks back? Noddy replied: “No I wouldn't. I don't look back with regret on things like that. Not at all. At the time, you know, it was an offer that I had - I’ve had an offer to join many bands over the years - but no, I don't regret not joining AC/DC. I was quite happy with my own band (Slade). As I said, Brian was a perfect choice for them and it worked for them perfectly well. “No, I don't regret it at all. If I was to go back in time, I'd have probably made exactly the same decision.”
Noddy Holder is apparently a British treasure. I 1st heard Slade in jr high & am now in my 60s. I read his autobiography and was surprised to read about their 1st US tour. They were used to 🇬🇧 audiences who danced, drank, fought, and basically rocked along with the band. Holder mused that American audiences sat waiting for a show and he couldn't figure out how to get them enthused (hard to believe right?) Then they opened for Humble Pie and witnessed Steve Marriot at his frontman best. Said Marriott had them eating out of his hand. Of course! I love "The Pie" and Marriot and understand entirely. Maybe you give a listen to Humble Pie's Hot & Nasty? The title alone should get your attention 😊 (DO NOT Google the song title or you'll get sites pop up that you'll regret.😮 Find it on TH-cam) As for Slade, I've never liked the American hair band covers. Without Noddy Holder, it isn't as good. ❤❤
Boy, does this bring back memories! Sixteen years old, riding around with my best friend. Wearing our hip huggers and halter tops thinking we're all that, lol, and blasting Slade in her car while riding around town. Such fun times!
Back in the day, when glam rock was in its hay day, there were many bands trying to take the charts. Bands like Mud, Sweet, Glitter Band & Slade. Every band had their one member that always Glammed it up, and Dave Hill (guitarist with the long hair) was Slades, the rest of the never knew what he was gonna wear before a performance. There is a weekly show that we had here that was a half hour music show every Thursday called TOP OF THE POPS and one occasion all the glam rock bands were on this show, it's was hilarious because everyone was trying to out stage everyone, it was all friendly rivals. It's on TH-cam and most definitely is worth a watch.
Whenever these guys are shown, I have to watch every single second of it, Slade bossed the charts here in England back in the early 70's.And I'm still a big fan.
Def leppard were influenced by the glam rock scene from the uk in the 70’s. Slade were one of the those bands. Dave hill was the guitarist, noddy holder was the lead singer
Acording to music critics this band was incredible important for the development of rock music in the UK and from there to the whole world. Without them there probably won't be any Sweet, Queen, Suzie Quatro, Status Quo, T Rex - and the whole myrad of glam rockers including David Bowie and Elton John. And yes, you mixed up the band members :D
Most of the early 70s Glam Rock era in the UK was pure fun and not to be taken seriously at all. Bands like Slade, The Sweet, Wizzard and The Glitter band were all about entertainment. The Glam scene also had a few serious artists, like David Bowie and Roxy Music, who managed to include some intellect amongst the glitter.
I met Noddy Holder (the singer) in a record shop about twenty years ago. Talked for over half an hour. A real gentleman. By the way look out for him in 'Max and Paddy' Superb. 😂
Weer All Crazee for sure, lol. Make your Crazee light shine bright, so other Crazees know where to find you. I’m one of those Crazee people. I may be Crazee, but it keeps me from going insane. Thanx so much, take care, Peace
"My Oh My" by Slade, thats the one you need to hear next! By the way, some of your info is incorrect. Noddy Holder is the lead singer and Dave Hill is the lead guitarist. Also, it was released in 1972, not 1966.
@NoahBarzel being from the US, I got ripped off of the whole Slade invasion. They only became popular in the 80s, and we lost a whole decade of great music. Thankfully we have the internet and TH-cam to keep us up-to-date.
"EVERYDAY" please. A great slow song. Drummer Don Powell was in a severe car accident that killed his fiance. He had a very bad head injury with memory loss and had to relearn everything.
All of Slade's early singles had "eccentric" spellings. It was a gimmick of the band at that time. Noddy's voice can strip paint - have you listened to their version of "Get Down Get With It"?
If you want a Slade song where you can shout...Get Down and Get With It. You won't be sorry. The 70's said Glam Rock...Dave Hill understood the assignment. 👍😊
I have found four versions of this song. Original by Slade and covered by the Runaways, Mama’s Boys and Quiet Riot. All a little different but all very good.
Can't wait for you to come across the very fun Slade song 'Lock up your Daughters'! Although Far far away & 'Cum on feel the noize' are major bangers from them
Seen Slade concert in Sydney one of my first concerts! love love. However someone threw a cooked chicken from the grand stand landed on my head covered in chicken the whole concert lol
Neville "Noddy" Holder is the lead singer. They had 17 consecutive top 20 hits, of which 6 reached #1 on the UK Singles Charts all between 1971and 1973. A fun fact: Noddy Holder was a roadie for Robert Plant. He used to run him to gigs using his dad's window cleaning van. More Slade please ❤
Dave hill is the guitarist, Noddy Holder is the singer
Who gives a shit?
@@jamesrowley3825 yes that’s it!!!
I'm sure you did Merry Xmas Everybody as well
@@winchy162 cant do slade without merry xmas everybody
Noddy Holder - vocals, guitar and writer.
Jim Lea - bass, keyboards, violin, vocals and writer.
Dave Hill - guitar, vocals.
Don Powell - drums.
Hey Jay, you made a LOT of people happy today. ✌️
@@andymageen5308 this made me smile thank you Andy!
@@RobSquadReactions Hi Jay, the familiar guitar riff may be reminiscent of Hot Blooded by Foreigner. 👍
@@chriswood3252 Yes! I was thinking of Jean Jeanie by Bowie too.
@@eclectrickery8077 Jean Genie made no.2 in the UK, held off the top by Sweet's Blockbuster. Both had near identical guitar riffs. 🎸
@ Thanks, that's interesting! Must be something magical about that riff. Or maybe people just mixed them up.😀 I had both those singles and never noticed! Pitiful ear, huh?! But I was only 11!
One of the greatest rock voices of all time.
Magnificently raucous. Noddy's voice fits their music perfectly.
So said Ozzy Osbourne
John Lennon once said Noddy had the best voice in Rock. Noddy was offered to join AC/DC after Bon Scott passed away.
"Every Day" and "How does it Feel" are great songs and show Slades' versatility
Quiet Riot covered this song on their second album "Condition Critical" .Metal Health was their first album"Bang Your Head" & "Come On Feel The Noise".i hope you listen to their version Jay More Slade "My Oh My" is a great song too
I prefer the Quiet Riot cover myself but not by a lot.
they did not one, but two slade covers?!? wow
Mamas Boys cover is better than Quiet Riots in my opinion
I think The Runaways also covered this.
@@jp3813 They did and it was one of their better tracks.
Far Far Away is another great song by Slade
YES!
Mine and Noddy’s fav
This song was released in 1972,I was 15 at the time and loved the many genres of music in the UK charts.😊
I was about 6 months old so didn't hear it till a bit later but I agree with your statement.
I was only born in 1972 . Grew up with Slade ❤
Slade is just great...1st heard as a 10yo in 1973...still love 'em. 😊
"Blockbuster" by the Sweet. Simple chords, but a great tune.
Maybe he can do Blockbuster and David Bowie - The Jean Genie back to back. lol
One of the best live bands ever ..reading rock festival 1980 ..I was there..Slades rebirth it was unbelievable ❤
Slade the sounds of my youth along with Sweet and Mud ahhh great days indeed
You need to do "How does it feel", one of the great under appreciated masterpieces from the 70's. Maybe a movie reaction of Flame which is a fantastic movie with several great songs including "Them kind of monkeys can't swing", an absolute banger and another underappreciated masterpiece.
Finally back to 70s Slade this is their best period❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh man! Have not heard this since forever! And yes we are!! Thanks!!
Fabulous guys, real gentleman, brilliant musicians, Noddys’ voice is incredible. I wish I could go back in time they were better days for music, atmosphere and a simpler life!
You really need to listen to their album 'Slade Alive' which is probably one of the greatest live recordings. This album was recorded during 2 nights of one of their tours.
No worries Jay, this is the studio version; this was a performance/promotional video for broadcast T.V.! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Get Down and Get With it!!! Killer tune! BTW Noddy Holders is throat here!!
LOVE Slade, they were ridiculously British. Lead singer is Noddy Holder, Dave Hill is lead guitar with the long hair with the short fringe!! Try "Cum on Feel the Noize" another Slade early 70's classic , and at Christmas "Merry Christmas Everybody" which has been played religiously every Christmas in the UK since 1973, it's not Christmas until you have heard that!!!
Been a fan of there’s for years, they were the first group I saw in concert in 1976, god I’m old.
I saw them in the summer of 1970 in glasgow. Absolutely fabulous live. Never forgot it ❤
Thanks!
I saw them several times and they were often billed as the loudest band in the UK. Your ears were ringing for days after going to one of their gigs!
Noddy Holder's autobiography, "We're all crazy now" is the most fun music book you'll ever read!😂
Glam Rock was just plain old good fun! Slade, Sweet, T-Rex, etc. It was great to let your hair down, no talented dancing or singing required. Just join with the band, jump around, sing your head off and get loud! What a release. Should be prescribed by psychologists!

Asked by Wyatt if it was just an urban myth that he was lined to replace Bon Scott, Noddy confirmed that it was indeed true, however he doesn’t regret saying ‘no’ despite AC/DC’s gargantuan success with Brian Johnson.
“I was asked (to join AC/DC),” Noddy said. “They did approach me - not directly to me but they approached my management - whether I’d like to join AC/DC. I think they probably heard that Slade was sort of on the verge of breaking up and apparently, I was approached to join them.
“I said I’d turn it down, y’know, I still got in my head that Slade was still a force to be reckoned with and that we’d still be carrying on. But I would have turned it down anyway because Slade was my baby; it was the thing that I worked with for years, worked hard with for years.”
Noddy continued: “I knew Brian (Johnson) from the band Geordie and Geordie had played with (Slade) a few times. So, I knew Brian - I thought Brian was the perfect choice for them anyway. He's great.

I saw them on that tour in SF at the Winterland. I was a fan but most of the audience didn't know them and they did not go over big.
@389383 so who opened for them?
Noddy Holder...he's a freakin legend !!!! No one does it like him
Absolutely massive in the UK in the early to mid 70s. Such a great fun band and awesome live
Boy, does this bring back memories! Sixteen years old, riding around with my best friend. Wearing our hip huggers and halter tops thinking we're all that, lol, and blasting Slade in her car while riding around town. Such fun times!
'Coz I love you is a beauty by Slade.
Noddy Holder is the lead singer, Dave hill is lead Guitarist
First Album I ever bought 'Sladest' in 1974, I was 10 years old...

Started in 66 as The Inbetweens, changed to Ambrose Slade then Slade, managed by animals guitarist and former Jimi Hendrix manager Chas Chandler
Try Slade Hallelujah Rock and Roll Preacher……..Til Deaf Us Do Part……..oh, and turn it up!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎸🎸🎸
Whenever these guys are shown, I have to watch every single second of it, Slade bossed the charts here in England back in the early 70's.And I'm still a big fan.
Get down and get with it. .
Noddys voice is amazing. Takes Raucous into an art form.
Their ballad My Oh My is one of my favorite songs!
Noddy Holder bought his hats from an unheard of then Freddie Mercury of Queen.
One of my favourite Slade songs. The lead singer is Noddy Holder BTW, Dave Hill is the lead guitarist in gold.
I absolutely adored this band back in the seventies, Noddy Holder, what a voice! Thanks J, let’s have more please👍🏻
I've spent my whole life listening to Slade, it's hard to get my head around people hearing them for the first time.
Love these guys …opened for Johnny Winter in US ….crowds hated them … Everyone but the singer are very active musicians…
Misspeling in the song title was one of their trademarks.
Been a Slade fan since I was 11 in 1971 what brilliant memories this band have gave me
American bands copied Slade rather than them copying American bands.
1966-1992
Noddy Holder - Lead vocals, guitar
Dave Hill - guitar, vocals
Jim Lea - bass, keyboards, violin, vocals
Don Powell - drums
Noddy Holder and Dave Hill earn around £500,000 every year from royalties for the song "Merry Christms Everbody" !
NODDY HOLDER , THE LEAD SINGER ,, LOVELY HUMAN ❤❤💕
Another Great band from the era is “Sweet”. Amazing band like Slade with tons of Great Music!!
One of the best rock band🤘
Saw these guys at Donington MoR in the UK; they weren’t headlining but their performance was as good as the headliners; incredible band!
You can see why Kevin DuBrow/Quiet Riot covered it. They sound similar in vocal stylings.
Brilliant! Need more! Try “Coz I luv you”.
Def leppard were influenced by the glam rock scene from the uk in the 70’s. Slade were one of the those bands. Dave hill was the guitarist, noddy holder was the lead singer
Def Leppard also covered Action by Sweet
Still going 👏👏👏👍🇬🇧💕
Gudbye t Jane is the slade song I was named after and caroline as a middle name from the mighty Quo
Acording to music critics this band was incredible important for the development of rock music in the UK and from there to the whole world. Without them there probably won't be any Sweet, Queen, Suzie Quatro, Status Quo, T Rex - and the whole myrad of glam rockers including David Bowie and Elton John.
And yes, you mixed up the band members :D
Slade were as big as the Beatles in the 70's
Not in the US, most UK glam bands had a hard time here.
Yes for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A group would play this all the time growing up in school . Singing this in the halls . What a flash back.
Most of the early 70s Glam Rock era in the UK was pure fun and not to be taken seriously at all. Bands like Slade, The Sweet, Wizzard and The Glitter band were all about entertainment.

I met Noddy Holder (the singer) in a record shop about twenty years ago. Talked for over half an hour. A real gentleman. By the way look out for him in 'Max and Paddy' Superb. 😂
Noddy Holder is the lead singer
This is their best song!!! First heard it when my Brother was playing it on record!!!
Weer All Crazee for sure, lol. Make your Crazee light shine bright, so other Crazees know where to find you. I’m one of those Crazee people. I may be Crazee, but it keeps me from going insane. Thanx so much, take care, Peace
More Shinedown, monsters, bully, enemies, a symptom of being human ❤❤ big fan
They have an excellent live LP. Slade Alive. Awesome listen
"My Oh My" by Slade, thats the one you need to hear next! By the way, some of your info is incorrect. Noddy Holder is the lead singer and Dave Hill is the lead guitarist. Also, it was released in 1972, not 1966.
Technically I think the band started in 1966 but didn't get their big break till like 71
@NoahBarzel being from the US, I got ripped off of the whole Slade invasion. They only became popular in the 80s, and we lost a whole decade of great music. Thankfully we have the internet and TH-cam to keep us up-to-date.
"EVERYDAY" please. A great slow song. Drummer Don Powell was in a severe car accident that killed his fiance. He had a very bad head injury with memory loss and had to relearn everything.
The lead singer is Noddy Holder!!! Dave Hill is the guitarist with the really short fringe (bangs)
Another great song of theirs to listen to is Come on Feel the Noise. You won't be disappointed.
All of Slade's early singles had "eccentric" spellings. It was a gimmick of the band at that time. Noddy's voice can strip paint - have you listened to their version of "Get Down Get With It"?
1966? you sure? early to mid 70's I think
This is the other song that Quit Riot did as a cover as well as Come Feel the Noise.
They are the mutts nuts live in concert
Slade Alive is a fantastic live album.
This is from 1972. When I was 19yrs old. Great days in the uk.😂🏴
Noddy holder
lead singer
From Walsall england
Thank you, this is an overlooked gem!
You wouldn't have that old time US Rock sound if it wasn't for the British Invasion coming to the US
The very first record I bought ..love Noddy's Voice.. love Slade.. more please
Noddy Holder is lead
Love slade!
The first "single" I bought 😊 Slade are awesome!
Killing it with your reactions Jay. I am enjoying the more laid back feeling you’re bringing back to the channel. Keep it real. 🎶🎶
Noddy Holder is the singer 😂
If you want a Slade song where you can shout...Get Down and Get With It. You won't be sorry. The 70's said Glam Rock...Dave Hill understood the assignment. 👍😊
I have found four versions of this song. Original by Slade and covered by the Runaways, Mama’s Boys and Quiet Riot. All a little different but all very good.
While a bit late I suggest reacting to their Xmas song this upcoming Christmas
Theirs is my favorite rockin' Christmas song!
Can't wait for you to come across the very fun Slade song 'Lock up your Daughters'!
Although Far far away & 'Cum on feel the noize' are major bangers from them
Check out Far Far Away by Slade.
Slade was formed in 1966, but this song is from 1972.
Noddy holder is the singer
In the outro of this song, you can hear the riff of Beatles Day Tripper. Just when it fades.
Bangin man is also a great song.
So much better than Quiet Riot covers
Seen Slade concert in Sydney one of my first concerts! love love. However someone threw a cooked chicken from the grand stand landed on my head covered in chicken the whole concert lol
Was that the tour when Status Quo opened?
