    Saw them live in 1974. I was 17. Front row center…. Tossed my baseball cap up on the stage, Jim Lea (bassist) caught and wore it for several songs. He then tossed it perfectly back to me. I was and still am such a fan. That was special and now at 66 I would give anything if I could just find that hat… Thank You Jimmy Lea.

    This was one of the first opening videos to MTV upon it's creation in the early 80s. I remember it well because my father hated me glued to MTV when it was free in the beginning on public TV in Danville IL. He said it would rot my brain. He passed that year and he was right and wrong about MTV. It became commercialized, less videos of artists and more about money. It did however drive my ambition, song writing and music. Slade Will always be my inspiration

      SLADE was the kind of band that wasn`t able to release a complete classic album. They sold lots of singles and radio stations loved playing them through two decades (70-80s). But SLADE often had long periods surfing on one hit single and when the time came to make another one, they often failed doing so.
      SLADE also didn`t have the sex appeal many other bands had. They were the underdogs, much like Cheap Trick was. It didn`t do them any favors when the shallow 80s came along with looks being more important than ever. SLADE became the symbol of the glammy, goofy 70s when rock was about having fun. It became the godfather of punk and glam metal, but wasn`t able to survive the early 90s. Glam Rock actually had a comeback in the late 90s with a psychedelic twist, but it faded away before the millennium and has never really come back from it.

    Slade has had influenced so many other artists. Group has a place in the history of rock music as one of the best rock bands ever. I was 9 years old and learning to play the violin, not really liking it much. It was my parents' idea. Then I saw Slade, Run Runaway on tv and suddenly I had hope and purpose in my life. There was a violinist in a rock band! And what a great tune! Since then I told myself if I ever make it as a violinist I want to play violin in a rock band. Almost 30 years later and working 15 years in symphony orchestras, I made my dream come true. After quitting classical music, I got an opportunity to play rock violin as a member of the rock country bands and solo rock violinist. From now on it never felt like work anymore, even though it is my full-time job now. Slade will always be my No.1 band and I'll always remember how much its music and this song had changed my life. And I listen to Slade on full in my car!!!

      I think I understand you well. Me - twenty years working as a classical symphony orchestral conductor... And hating it....such hard & stressful work. Now in a studio as songwriter/producer....it's not work for me, but pure joy. Glad I found the courage to make the change of my life. And I can still listen to classical, when I feel like it. (That's not too often, tho....)

When I dance to this song I put my own twist to it that one of my kids keep telling me I should definitely upload it here on youtube I'm thinking about it as I mix two stepping, celtic and scottish with a bit of hip hop and jazz to it but I guess that's what some of us dancers do. Anyways everyone reading this hope this song makes u smile and makes u feel good inside for a pick me up inside from the day. Stay safe and blessed.

    Less than 2 weeks after getting that book,one afternoon I turn on the radio to one of my favorite stations.The DJ introduces this very song and mentions that it's by Slade.
