Disco de Slade: “Slayed?”

I picked this up in a record shop in Benidorm, Spain and it turned out to be a great album. For a bunch of glam boys, they really could rock. There are some great cuts on there that have almost all shown up on other albums, to the point that I am not sure if this album is an original or was already a compilation even though it came out in their heyday. I was surprised to hear the nod from Quiet Riot, but they just couldn't compare to the fun and spirit of these four guys. I suppose for the metal or hard rock connoisseur, these guys were fluff but I saw a lot more in them than that. Sure wish I could have seen them live.

I still play Gudby' to Jane on the guitar. I'm glad to see that thirty some years later, they are still plugging away.

Highly recommended.
