93. Cum on Feel the Noize by Slade 1973

Tonight I finally got to see Slade in Flame. It took me 35 years to hunt it down. A great rock and roll film. When I first heard about it I was a massive Slade fan. In 1971 they released a song called Coz I luv You and then kept having hit after hit. Bowie was still a few months off releasing Starman.
I loved Slade. They made prime singles. I had a poster of them on the back of my bedroom door for years. Later on when making the video clip for "Stuff Like That" in 1999 I had a poster of them behind me while I sang the song.
Of all their songs, this was the most exciting. It had number one written all over it. It begins Noddy wailing then a flurry of descending notes and a rush of drums. After that it's the song you know Noel Gallagher wished he could have written.

One night I went to church dance. It was rubbish until they started playing Slade songs. My mate from school was there. he had cut his hair like the guitarist Dave. Long hair, short fringe..looked cool. I tried the same haircut and lost my girlfriend.
