View Full Version : Slade in flame
did anyone see slade in flame at the gaumont ? i dont know if its cos i was young at the time but it felt like a concert cheering etc
i also saw batman there must have been around 73-74 im sure some one ran across the front of the screen maybe my minds playin tricks lol
one thing i do rember about the gaumont was the fact you could stop in there all day
MARTINO 1 21-10-2003, 19:21 martino saw slade in flame i used to love that band also saw them a few times in concert at sheffield city hall great concerts great atmosphere i believe parts of flame were filmed in hillsboro.
PaulTansley 22-10-2003, 04:26 Far far away.............that was the hit single from the film if i am right from 1974.
Slade had lost there appeal by then and were on there way out.
Great band of the glam rock period though.
greennigel 22-10-2003, 05:55 Some of it was filmed in Kelvin flats.
Went to see Slade at the city hall in'76 as a surprise birthday present, still got the prog and book(The Slade Papers), was at junior school and thought it was great going to see a ROCK band (I was only 7!), still sing along when I hear them

amazingslade 25-11-2003, 13:24 Really nice to read about SLADE on this forum!!!
For those of you who are still Slade fans (I hope they are :-)) I'd like to confirm that Slade are still touring with original members and founders Dave Hill and Don Powell (they were of course acting in Slade In Flame).
SLADE's Merry Xmas Everybody Tour 2003 will begin on 28th November and there are 20 UK dates which you can find by visiting Slade's Official Website at:

All the best + Merry Xmas Everybody + Keep On Rockin'!!!

This brings back the memories. My first boyfriend took me, and bought me a box of matchmakers ... I thought that was really opulent (we were only 15). Aah young love, nothing like it :clap:
I was in the Slade fan club and had a signed photo of them when they had their Skin haircuts. Anyone else in the fan club? It cost a massive 30p a year and you got regular newsletters!

my mate was in the slade "perseverance" fan club in the eighties...we were the only fans around by then!
we even played loads of slade records on r.o.t.t. (the youth programme on radio sheffield), and invited listeners to ring into "sladeline" and confess that they were fans really!
nobody rang.....

thats a suprise as they had a big comback from 1980 up to around 85
pete_fcs 29-12-2005, 21:10 they did, but i think they were still the uncoolest band going....in the eighties everyone seemed to be into image :|
Barbarian 30-12-2005, 09:14 Reading through this thread and the pictures of the Kelvin brought back some memories. I watched Slade filming on the Kelvin and surrounding areas, allthough never got to meet them. I lived on the Kelvin from 69 to 75.
PaulTansley 30-12-2005, 10:34 Crikey who dug this old thread up.
Seeing that its back, Slade were recently on TVs Airport or at least Dave Hill was.
There still around minus the other 3 originals.
The new lead singer did a burst of the old Noddy tonsils and was quite impressive.
Dave Hill has not changed at all, neither has Noddy all that mush apart from looking older but don't we all.
Powell the drummer looked the oldest who was on at Christmas and Dave Lee looks youngest of them all.
Great band in there time.
Saw them at the City Hall about 73 with support group an unknown Alex Harvey Band.

i lived there '89 to '91 and have always been a huge slade fan. the thought of seeing slade and kelvin flats in real life at the same time is enough to make me wanna wee!
