Slade pretty much owns over Quiet Riot.
QR basically made their fortune in America as a Slade cover band, but they lacked something crucial. Noddy Holder.
Good lord, I love the bassline of this song. It literally makes me happy.
A little better effort than on Mama Weer All Crazy, but still…I gotta say I prefer the Slade version.
Nothing at all to do with Quiet Riot. Just Slade, bein’ Slade, all plaid, loud, and rude, and dirty.
Last one for tonight.
Speaking of faux Slade, have you ever seen Reeves & Mortimer’s “Slade in Residence” sketches, envisioning the domestic life of the iconic glam-rockers? Mesmerising.

That is so brilliant I can’t even think straight after having watched it. Reeves & Mortimer are delightfully silly men.
