They weren't musically brilliant or technically impressive, their stage act was as simple as it got.

Luckily it wasn'...We were Slade daft as kids... Luckily it wasn't lost on my Dad... My first gig (tender age of 8) was at Blackburn King Georges Hall... June 13th 1973... Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me was riding high in the charts... We sat on the front row of the balcony looking on in wonderment... When Sladest came out we swore the back cover was taken in Blackburn! Kids you see, no idea of the fact that bands dress the same way for a whole tour... Within days Don was in hospital following a car crash, and a man who would become my pal for going on twenty five years plus (Frank Lea) was behind the drum kit in the Isle Of Man... Don of course returned... My Slade memorabilia collection is growing still... James was in my movie HELLO QUO! And I've seen the guys live through good times and bad... Having met them all personally lots... Still love them... A tattoo proves that... Underated... Way more than words can say....

(We didn't like "Imagine". Far too much of a downer). Great band, until the bacofoil top o' the pops hats proved too much a distraction.Ian Gordon Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745996447541753567noreply@blogger.com
