@@martybgoodmartybgood9809 Slade, which is considerably more awesome, wrote Quiet Riot's cover of Come on feel the noise. I believe Mama we're all crazee now. Kevin Dubrow, (Fun fact, his brother is the doctor on Botched) I believe was a photographer when he saw them.
Saw them live in 1974. I was 17. Front row center…. Tossed my baseball cap up on the stage, Jim Lea (bassist) caught and wore it for several songs. He then tossed it perfectly back to me. I was and still am such a fan. That was special and now at 66 I would give anything if I could just find that hat… Thank You Jimmy Lea.
Your memories are more important. To hear about their incredible live shows by someone who was there. This chic from USA is jealous as hell. Thanks for sharing your story!
Iwakuni Japan, 74. There was a bar that had a bunch of t.v.s. Like a sports bar but they played rock videos. Buddy was a fan and had them playing Slade. Never heard them before
This played this morning in the Lowe's while I shopped for a new trash can. I bopped up and down the aisles pushing the wheeled trash can. It was awesome.
Last night's Top Of The Pops on BBC4 from 1984 brought me here, Absolutely loved this tune growing up. Oh the days of Tiswas, Swap Shop & Superstore on Saturday mornings. Great Times.
Same here,heard it for the first time last night,I was too young in 84 to remember this but I am here now and I love this song. Heres to simpler times! Cheers.
This was one of the first opening videos to MTV upon it's creation in the early 80s. I remember it well because my father hated me glued to MTV when it was free in the beginning on public TV in Danville IL. He said it would rot my brain. He passed that year and he was right and wrong about MTV. It became commercialized, less videos of artists and more about money. It did however drive my ambition, song writing and music. Slade Will always be my inspiration
This was for sure in heavy rotation! I was a kid and remember it well! Don't worry, MTV rotted my brain in such a good way. It turned me on to a lot of great music I would've never discovered otherwise=)
My next door neighbour's brother was Rab Wilson. He was Slade's roadie. In 1972 he gave me a signed copy of Slade Alive. Still have that album to this day.
This group brings back memories have there albums also, your right about Music today I'm a Metal Head, However I never ever liked Rap but this guy Tom Macdonald has the best meaning lyrics in today's World..Here's a sample you should check out his playlist... th-cam.com/video/OshNahVo9-c/w-d-xo.html Stay Safe
#1: Everything's money, has been for a long time. Writing, painting, poetry doesn't have the payoff music has. Nor the mass appeal. Banksy (who I actually like) is art now. An anonymous vandal.
I'm grateful for this song. It only took them a decade to finally be heard in the US, then you rewind and find out that they were a damn good band that we missed out on. Thank God for internet and TH-cam!
Noddy Holder - one of the most iconic rock singers ever, up there with Bon Scott (AC/DC wanted to approach Noddy after Bon died but Noddy made it clear he’d never leave Slade) and the best vocal shredders ever
Such a great fun band. I'm obsessed with Noddy's voice, it's simply one of the best hardrock voices ever. Their 80s stuff was superb and should've been bigger.
Another gread Song from Slade, im still missing the 70 tes, oh man we hat so much Fun and the best Time of of my live. I will never vorgot. We where so jung and hat no Problem after the Work.
It's difficult NOT to enjoy Slade,for one reason,or,another....never any big messages....not trying to change the world,with their music. Just loud,rambunctious,noisy fun than never hurt anybody.
I'm 61. I remember when this came out. However, it's just today when it popped into my head that the tune is from the sea shanty, "Heave Away, Haul Away."
Wish I had seen them in '75. But then, I was 8. However, I saw Jim Croce when I was 6. If you find the bootleg for @ Harper College, you can hear Jim acknowledge my presence while he was singing the ballad of kerrimur. He spots me and tells my mother he is editing the song on the fly because it's about an orgy. My own brush with fame. Yay, me!
It’s criminal that these guys weren’t superstars in the u.s. I have been buying their back catalogue for the last 5 years and bought power supply when it came out. Noddy is the man!
SLADE was the kind of band that wasn`t able to release a complete classic album. They sold lots of singles and radio stations loved playing them through two decades (70-80s). But SLADE often had long periods surfing on one hit single and when the time came to make another one, they often failed doing so. SLADE also didn`t have the sex appeal many other bands had. They were the underdogs, much like Cheap Trick was. It didn`t do them any favors when the shallow 80s came along with looks being more important than ever. SLADE became the symbol of the glammy, goofy 70s when rock was about having fun. It became the godfather of punk and glam metal, but wasn`t able to survive the early 90s. Glam Rock actually had a comeback in the late 90s with a psychedelic twist, but it faded away before the millennium and has never really come back from it.
it's not about lyrics making sense as much as finding words and phrases that fit the melody, which is why bands whose lyrics do make sense deserve so much more credit than they get
This is one of those songs that somehow escapes memory for so many years. Then one day it shows up like an old friend and brings you back in time flooding your mind with great memories and happiness at a point in your life when you need it the most. Thank you Slade! Thank you Universe!
For some reason youtube wanted me to see this. I was a Slade fan back in 1985. Thanks youtube for reminding me of football practice back in 1985. I had this cranked in my '55 Chevy when driving home from practice. Some memories, that's for sure!!! That '55 is still around, but not mine anymore.
It's criminal that they aren't as appreciated as they should be. Yes, I'm talking to you Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They have been eligible since 1991.
As a teen i had this song on a compilation album (tape) warped the tape so bad because i played this song over and over. Now it's 11/4/23 I still play this song over and over and do not care who complains about the best song from slade ever.
I hadn't heard this song since I was a little kid and then someone reminded me of it and I looked it up. Now I want to hear it all the time! It makes me happy 😊
I remember i found this song a few years ago when i was going through my dad's old vinyl collection. The album cover art was so cool, I immediately popped it onto the turntable and my 16 year old mind was blown away. Great tune, underappreciated band
OMG, I had completely forgotten about this awesome, classic, FUN song! How could that happen? But it just popped up in my "For You" feed ... thank you, TH-cam! And big thanks to Ganarly Films for restoring this video, which I now remember from MTV's golden era. A priceless classic.
1984.Being a 13 year old boy,born and raised here in the US of A,I had never heard a Slade song in my life.I had recently checked out a book from the library about British rock bands.I'm sure the main reason I checked it out was the inclusion of Queen.A few pages were devoted to Slade.They certainly looked colorful,but I had never heard of them. Less than 2 weeks after getting that book,one afternoon I turn on the radio to one of my favorite stations.The DJ introduces this very song and mentions that it's by Slade. I was very surprised indeed.
Found this on YT video of 80s hits. I wasn't familiar with it or Slade. Needless to say, I fell instantly in love with it, it's now in my Playlist and it gets played OFTEN! It's such a fun, upbeat song that is so catchy. You just can't be sad listening to it.
Still luv this song, as a kid I learned to not just dance to this song but I'm probably the only mixed race person who can play the spoons to this song and enjoy each minute of it something my neighbors don't know for but I make them hear this song cause it's one hella feel good song that should be played more than once. When I dance to this song I put my own twist to it that one of my kids keep telling me I should definitely upload it here on youtube I'm thinking about it as I mix two stepping, celtic and scottish with a bit of hip hop and jazz to it but I guess that's what some of us dancers do. Anyways everyone reading this hope this song makes u smile and makes u feel good inside for a pick me up inside from the day. Stay safe and blessed.
I’m late Gen X so I do not recall this at all; stumbled here via a FB post. Holy shit this rocks! I never like a song the first time I hear it and I’m loving this.
Thanks much for a good, proper upload of an awesome great tune! If this vid doesn't have 10 million views by April then there's something very wrong with society.
Finally!!!!!! After trying to find this song for like 20 years, I finally found it! I loved this song when I was a kid, my dad played this song all the time, one of his favorite songs when he was in high school.
I played this for my cousin, his dad was against all rock music and was not allowed to listen. After that, he became obsessed with good music. We were 10-12 years old at the time.
Thanks for giving us this one to rock once again........and me a new addition to my "Eclectic Karaoke Repertoire"!!! I remember this one from when it came out in the USA in the 1980's!!! I'm going to add my cheapest top hat to my "karaoke kit", so I can sing NODDY!!! (I own 3)
The idea that #4 could've had a family member who was even more eccentric and crazy?...Absolutely brilliant. If said person was Nod, that would have been the greatest casting decision in the history of television.
Slade has had influenced so many other artists. Group has a place in the history of rock music as one of the best rock bands ever. I was 9 years old and learning to play the violin, not really liking it much. It was my parents' idea. Then I saw Slade, Run Runaway on tv and suddenly I had hope and purpose in my life. There was a violinist in a rock band! And what a great tune! Since then I told myself if I ever make it as a violinist I want to play violin in a rock band. Almost 30 years later and working 15 years in symphony orchestras, I made my dream come true. After quitting classical music, I got an opportunity to play rock violin as a member of the rock country bands and solo rock violinist. From now on it never felt like work anymore, even though it is my full-time job now. Slade will always be my No.1 band and I'll always remember how much its music and this song had changed my life. And I listen to Slade on full in my car!!!
I think I understand you well. Me - twenty years working as a classical symphony orchestral conductor... And hating it....such hard & stressful work. Now in a studio as songwriter/producer....it's not work for me, but pure joy. Glad I found the courage to make the change of my life. And I can still listen to classical, when I feel like it. (That's not too often, tho....) Let's keep rocking! 😊
Found this song again in the oddest way. I work for a major insurer in PHX. We have various music channels that we rotate through that play in the break areas and bathrooms. Well, by adding a few comments to our online feedback board I was able to make it seem like the 80s channel was by far the most popular channel. Knowing what words, phrases and results HR would be looking for helped. Fast forward and we had the 80s on for an entire year. Twice I heard this song pop on but couldn't figure out who it was. So many of us live close to the office and the really nice Frys supermarket stayed on the 80s as well. Ended up catching the song one night and was able to get Google to ID it for me. All thanks to a little HR corporate manipulation.
They were a sight to behold live believe me. Fantastic stage craft with very limited props in the day . They made the most of the smoke and illusion and expert musicianship with noddy as the ringmaster at the helm they had the crowd in their palm of their hands in seconds… So tight and relentless onslaught of songs not they were magical together and well a massive wall of sound … Remarkable and I’ve seen loadsa top bands but Slade didn’t take themselves to seriously they just lifted everyone for a “night to Remember..” funny that’s another fab live song they did ! Keep in Rockin !!
Without Slade, no Quiet Riot. Literally.
Slade is far better than the cover band.
I always found it interesting Quiet Riot has the success Slade deserved. Slade was so much better.
How is that I don't know the story behind no Slade no Quiet Riot
@@martybgoodmartybgood9809 Slade, which is considerably more awesome, wrote Quiet Riot's cover of Come on feel the noise. I believe Mama we're all crazee now.

BEST!

Been trying to find this song for a couple decades!!! Back when M tv actually played songs.
Stumbled on this after not hearing it for decades. What an upbeat and cheery song! Hard to stay melancholy listening to this.
We need more rock songs like this. Most of what we have now is whiny garbage.
Makes me smile every time I hear it!
How, as still plays on radio etc
I just did the same thing. 😅
@@mikekaraoke I literally haven't listened to the radio in over a decade.
The joy and happiness that is missing from modern music.
This played this morning in the Lowe's while I shopped for a new trash can. I bopped up and down the aisles pushing the wheeled trash can. It was awesome.
This got played over the PA before the show started the last time I caught the Dropkick Murphys. Nice!
This is The Way
Lowe's has the best in-store music of the DIY stores for some reason.
1984-2024 40 year old song that rocks just as hard today!
GREAT SONG !!!!

Hate to break it to you brother, there is indeed something very wrong with society
Finally!!!!!! After trying to find this song for like 20 years, I finally found it! I loved this song when I was a kid, my dad played this song all the time, one of his favorite songs when he was in high school.
Thank you for this quality version. Love this song . Brought back fond memories of the 80's. That era rocked. We knew how to have fun!
7,0's.
I love this song, this group, and Scottish heritage.
SLADE have been with me over the best and worst times in my whole life. Glad, I could shake Dave's hand in gratitude.
Still listening in 2023! Fabulous band!
Who’s here in 2024????
Me and my neighbors
Me
Here here❤
There’s only 4 of us here. This song is pretty obscure and wasn’t played much when it came out but it’s catchy tune sticks with ya
Me and my neighbors lol
I played this for my cousin, his dad was against all rock music and was not allowed to listen. After that, he became obsessed with good music. We were 10-12 years old at the time.
Slade's tribute to the Scots!
Yep, especially the caber thrower part.
Thanks for giving us this one to rock once again........and me a new addition to my "Eclectic Karaoke Repertoire"!!! I remember this one from when it came out in the USA in the 1980's!!!
I'm going to add my cheapest top hat to my "karaoke kit", so I can sing NODDY!!! (I own 3)
If Doctor Who as portrayed by Tom Baker (the DEFINITE Doctor for us classic old farts) had a weird Timelord brother, it would be Noddy. :@)
Noddy for sure has those Four vibes. Because Kamelion was a character at the time, my young self always associated this song and Doctor Who!
@@procrastinet Yes! I like that a lot!😁
Spot on. This photo of myself I deemed my Time Lord shot. X-ray f/x is rad.
The idea that #4 could've had a family member who was even more eccentric and crazy?...Absolutely brilliant. If said person was Nod, that would have been the greatest casting decision in the history of television.
See the Dalek there, trying to ruin all our fun, push him down the stairs, then run run away!
Bought the 7" back when I was 13 in '84... couldn't get this song out of my head - so catchy.
Slade has had influenced so many other artists. Group has a place in the history of rock music as one of the best rock bands ever. I was 9 years old and learning to play the violin, not really liking it much. It was my parents' idea. Then I saw Slade, Run Runaway on tv and suddenly I had hope and purpose in my life. There was a violinist in a rock band! And what a great tune! Since then I told myself if I ever make it as a violinist I want to play violin in a rock band. Almost 30 years later and working 15 years in symphony orchestras, I made my dream come true. After quitting classical music, I got an opportunity to play rock violin as a member of the rock country bands and solo rock violinist. From now on it never felt like work anymore, even though it is my full-time job now. Slade will always be my No.1 band and I'll always remember how much its music and this song had changed my life. And I listen to Slade on full in my car!!!
I think I understand you well. Me - twenty years working as a classical symphony orchestral conductor... And hating it....such hard & stressful work. Now in a studio as songwriter/producer....it's not work for me, but pure joy. Glad I found the courage to make the change of my life. And I can still listen to classical, when I feel like it. (That's not too often, tho....)
Let's keep rocking! 😊
Big smile on my face now, the 80's was the best with good and happy music😊 love this great song🎸👍
I am having the most beautiful nostalgic moment of my life. NO LIE! JIVING
Was lucky enough to see Slade in 1981 @ Donnington while stationed in England. Loved the whole bloody rainy day.
Found this song again in the oddest way. I work for a major insurer in PHX. We have various music channels that we rotate through that play in the break areas and bathrooms. Well, by adding a few comments to our online feedback board I was able to make it seem like the 80s channel was by far the most popular channel. Knowing what words, phrases and results HR would be looking for helped. Fast forward and we had the 80s on for an entire year. Twice I heard this song pop on but couldn't figure out who it was. So many of us live close to the office and the really nice Frys supermarket stayed on the 80s as well. Ended up catching the song one night and was able to get Google to ID it for me. All thanks to a little HR corporate manipulation.
Hahahahaha that's a great story
First heard this circa, May, 1984. Brings me back. Thank you very much for posting! Cheers from Philly PA!
If you feel down, listen to Slade...greatest band
the kings of new wave. one of the best songs of all time from one of the best albums of all time. been a fan for 20+ years and its aged like fine wine
Slade did so many good rock songs...this being one of many🎸🥁🎤🎼🎸
Were meant to be very good live, but never got to see them.
They were a sight to behold live believe me. Fantastic stage craft with very limited props in the day .
They made the most of the smoke and illusion and expert musicianship with noddy as the ringmaster at the helm they had the crowd in their palm of their hands in seconds… So tight and relentless onslaught of songs not they were magical together and well a massive wall of sound … Remarkable and I’ve seen loadsa top bands but Slade didn’t take themselves to seriously they just lifted everyone for a “night to Remember..” funny that’s another fab live song they did ! Keep in Rockin !!
Loved this song 40 years ago, and not gonna lie, still love it now. Great memories...
2021 and still rocking this song as loud as I can!!!!
Doing the same in 2022!!! :-)
I heard this song about a week ago on the XM 80s channel. I probably hadn’t heard it since the 80s. Now I can’t get it out of my head.
This was pretty much the only Slade song that we ever heard in North America.
It got a lot of radio airplay in 1984. Good tune.
One of the best rock bands ever.
Badly overlooked!
