I saw Quo and Slade in '73 at the Melbourne Showgrounds (Australia) and it pissed down most of the day, but didn't stop the crowd from witnessing a kick arse concert!! been hooked on both bands ever since.. 🤘
I was there too !
Y'know... he's a lovely fella to listen to, there doesn't seem to be a bit of the 'do you know who I am?' crap about him, or big headedness, just a very sincere guy.
I`ve watched a few of these and I couldn`t agree more
Slade were the business live.
Always a great time.
Saw em at the marquee in the early eighties, there were punks, rockabillies, skins, rockers, casuals, teds, soul boys, ska, new romantics all people whose musical tastes had gone in different directions after the glam era, I thought it was going to go off big time....nah, one big party 👍
@@Lloyd1885 I saw them live 6 times. Never let us down. Well aaaaaaaalllllllrrriiiiiiigghtttttttttt everybody.....!
Great guy,met him through work a couple of times,so honest about his drug problems,he would talk all day 🎸
Gotta love Rick
Love these stories. Rick was obviously a really open fella, unlike Rossi who has a protective wall around him.
Yep. I flew from Dubai to Austria to see Quo. The management said I could meet them backstage. Rick said ok. Rossi said no. Rick came out pre show and met us in the seating area.
Another rocker who could really light up a stage . Total rock star. Irreplaceable.
Loved Slade on our side of the Pond. Imagine seeing them in a club that only held 200 and everyone was on top of each other enjoying the hell out of them in the mid 70s.
I smoked some Thai Stick in 1975…and watched Jeff Beck /Mahavisnu Orchestra..play in Detroit!
Had the pleasure of seeing Quo live and I bumped into Noddy in Manchester, rock n roll
If you never got to see Slade live you missed something very special, i have seen all the top bands live since the late 60s, and Slade were by far the best live band of the lot.
I saw them 5 times, all before they were famous. They were playing town halls and small clubs at that time. Realised then they were a great band and still think that today.
Ditto so did i, they were very big around the Black Country.@@vinegarjoe9706
Saw Slade towards the end, at Reading festival.. They went down a storm..
Blue Oyster Cult followed them and Jim told us the manager of BOC was absolutley livid as in Spinal Tap fashion....the crowd were still chanting Slade, Slade, & singing Merry Xmas Everybody...in August....when BOC took to the stage.
Me too
Rick’s memory is failing here. When Slade were skinheads they didn’t have any hits. When they grew their hair back they took England, and the rest of the world (except the US), by storm. Slade were the biggest band around for 3 years. That’s why Quo supported them when Slade went to Australia. Slade were the biggest selling band in Britain in the seventies. I love Quo, but Quo weren’t in the (big hits) picture really, until 1975 with Down Down etc. They were more of an albums band.
Sadly soon after that the band moved onto Coke,and destroyed all humour within the band
Great story!😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant but scary
I'm glad I never took drugs
Sounds like there is some other chemical involved in that thai stick. Sounds as though there may have been some LSD in it as well
I smoked a infused (legal) pre roll..almost 40% THC…..It was almost like tacking acid!
No, Thai weed was (maybe still is) much more powerful than your regular stuff. One hit and you could be in fairy land for a while. Those "bad trips" like Rick had happened to me from time to time. Hawaiian was even stronger.
Blow never did ANYTHING for me! Hits you like a sledgehammer and you fall fast asleep. DUH!! Needless to say, i never felt the urge to explore any of the other "substances"! BUT. I used to love my beer. A lot.
Different kinds of weed have different effects.. the laughing gear didn’t get round our way much..
Who's the interviewer? Kerrang's Phil Alexander? Cause it totally sounds like him.
Alan G Parker
when was this filmed?
2011
Before he died.

@@andydixon2980 No shit!
Had that experience with blow, all of a sudden it wasn't funny anymore, knocked it on the head for about 15 yrs. Have the odd toke now and then now
Blow is cocaine. Rick is talking about cannabis.
Blow is cannabis in the uk@@asw7696
Love these interviews - wish I could hear the questions though.
Turn on subtitles.....interviews were shor for documentary and unless its David Attenborough you can't sell the programme abroad
Killed by success❤
Wall of deaf 🤣

@@josephbuckley5961 Plasmatics in the early 80s was the loudest gig i've ever been to and í've been to hundreds rock, hardrock and punkrock concerts. They were dangerously loud, my hearing was affected for a few days after that gig. Motorhead was loud (seen Stokvishal Arnhem 1982) but not that loud.
