It's so not like Slade, the bass isn't anything like what J. Lea is known for, letting him sing the majority of song, in some ways it's simplicity. I think they'd have had better fortune staying in the UK and just being true to themselves, likely their style would have evolved but maybe in a more natural fashion rather than something forced. Had they become more simplistic in the vein of ACDC who knows where they could have gone?
