 We had what I would call some pretty serious differences, we found that she was participating in what I would call alt-right hate groups (yes, think crooked crosses) and we dumped her on the spot. No room in my band or any part of my life for that.

Wait, what? It seems so antithetical to the core values of the band. Is she trans?

 Yes she is, but I can't explain how she rationalizes such matters, line in the sand for me. She's lucky I let get her gear out of my house in one piece.

That's highly surprising, considering... :o

Seems like there must be a lot of cognitive dissonance there - or at least you would hope there is.

I really find it incomprehensible.  So sorry, Veronica.

That reminds me of that documentary of a KKK guy who was a rabid Hendrix fan (and guitarist himself) and had his whole house decorated with either Hendrix memorabilia or Klan Krap. He didn't see a disconnect at all. In his mind, Hendrix wasn't black.  :o

Too bad this forum doesn't have the upside down smiley.  It would be perfect for that.

Moving on to nicer things, Jim Lea with a TBird is a rare sight, but here he is in the vid to Slade's last single before calling it a day. Noddy Holder is already relegated to only singing the chorus with Jim doing the verse. It sounds a bit like something Def Leppard would do.

No doubt, Scott will wish to thank me for this.  8)

I guess he had never heard the story of Hendrix once being chased across a field by some white guys just because he was black.  If I'm not mistaken, Billy Cox told that story.

 I'm thanking you for it - Having never heard it before, of course I like it - it's SLADE!

It was Slade's last attempt to crack Yank charts - at a time when they had already stopped being a touring entity due to both Lea and Holder having become road weary after 20 years of constant touring (and repeated failed attempts to break through in the States). And although it is tuneful and catchy, I wouldn't rank it among Jim Lea's more natural compositions, it's very "hit from the construction kit" (that is also why it sounds so Def Leppard'ish), a bit desperate. It went nowhere.

 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?

Jim has a very nice, almost Brit Pop voice, but of course it can't compare with Noddy's "fog horn" (yet tuneful) in its prime.



Here he's all beatlish (always a big influence in his writing):



I'd love to hear Noddy unplugged, he could still do that.
