I'm trying to think of other bands that both xhuxk and Geir rate so highly. This must be a pretty rare convergence of taste.

So fucking classic, kinda Uk Cheap Trick― A Viking of Some Note (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, June 21, 2006 5:46 AM (6 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
You clown. Slade preceded Cheap Trick by a great deal re rock 'n' roll time. It would be vice versa if anything. And if you knew anything about Cheap Trick you'd know that on a DVD they put out a year ago one of 'em confessed to seeing a landmark Slade gig in the States, one I was at. "Geez, they use every cheap trick in the book," said the pre-Cheap Trick guy prior to forming Cheap Trick.― Urnst Kouch (Urnst Kouch), Wednesday, June 21, 2006 6:33 AM (6 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
That's not far from what I was thinking, fuckwit. Also Rick Nielsen/Bun E. were active from the mid60s or so, much like Slade, etc etc etc, "confessed"? What the fuck's that supposed to mean? Did Lemmy ever CONFESS to going to a Ramones show?― A Viking of Some Note (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, June 21, 2006 6:48 AM (6 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
Nice try, but your mind is tossing upon the ocean. You don't know what DVD I'm talking about, do ya? Was it a comedy? Come up with the title? Faking it is OK. I know you can.Cheap Trick was influenced by 60's/early 70's Brit hard rock, clown, and they've acknowledged it with some pride. So name 'em. Ouch, ouch.― Urnst Kouch (Urnst Kouch), Wednesday, June 21, 2006 7:23 AM (6 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

aww, man... why didn't anyone TELL ME when i was younger how great slade were (other than the fact that no one in the USA seems to have heard of them)? having only recently discovered their early stuff i am in total fucking awe.
this to the power of 100.
this band = everything i ever wanted from 70s rock-n-roll.
so many classics beyond the singles ..

i really loved them in the mid 70s. i had a couple of singles. but i don't remember one song by them.

i just listened to "cum on feel the noize" and i must say that it is really rubbish. it wasn't one of my singles though. i was about 13 when i was a fan, i also loved the sweet at the time. i think glam rock may have been fun at the time but most of it didn't age particularly well.

Been listening a lot to "Slayed?". Love that album. This performance is pretty great, I like how the lead singer has all these buttons stuck to his hat, so they catch the light and leave temporary glowing circles from blowing out the cameras.

Slade drummer Don Powell 'fired by email' after 57-year partnership. Drummer claims guitarist Dave Hill, a friend since 1963, fired him with ‘cold’ email, which Hill disputes.
