I also noticed the video had the girl-next-door look to it.  It would be interesting to know the back story behind that video.

Nice Ric there.

Something which I think might have been more noticeable had it not been for the car wash-girls distraction.  I kept wondering if someone was going to make a Tawny Kitaen-like appearance on the video.  They did get pretty close.  But maybe it's time for new ideas for videos.

Rudy Sarzo is on the cover of the February Bass Player, although at this point the March issue may already be out.  I bought it several weeks ago, but still haven't had a chance to look at it very much.

Tale of a fake band with a fake fan base going on a "tour" with empty venues.

Some of the comments below the video are amusing, though.

I haven't watched this crap in years.  But it looks like it has even gotten worse than ever if that's even possible.

As an American, I never got much of a chance to hear Dr. Feelgood, but I do prefer them to the J. Geils Band.  Sometimes when it came to the J. Geils music, I kind of had a WTF reaction.

Indeed, both do well with the annual "Merry X-mas Everybody"-paycheck alone, which is always good for a higher six digit figure in Pound Sterling. And Jim Lea is a neighbour of Senora Ciccone in London, so likely not the worst part of town.

That's very good to hear.

QR took the ball and ran with it.  But if Slade didn't quite get the acclaim they deserved, at least Noddy Holder and Jim Lea got their well-deserved royalty checks.

It is still baffling that Slade found little success in the U.S., but Quiet Riot was successful with Slade songs, especially "Cum On Feel the Noize."  But Jim Lea was accurate in the article where he says Americans never got Slade and that's too bad  At the very least we could have been enriched by that Slade Christmas song.  I really like it.

Music critic who maintains that the Yardbirds were better than LZ.  He is basing a lot of this on the "Yardbirds '68" recording released fairly recently by Jimmy Page.  Something which most people (including me) haven't heard yet. I'd like to find it, though.

I just ran across this British site which looks pretty good.  Among many other things, they have a spot in which they review classic albums.  If you don't already have "Slade Alive!" this makes you want to get it.

Darryl Jones learned bass on a violin bass, though, a Hofner copy.
