I'm sorry but for me Slade should be categorised as a Heavy Rock band.
Why else did they Headline the Reading Festival in 1980 along with UFO, Whitesnake?
Why else were they headliners of the 1981 Monsters Of Rock Festival along with AC/DC, Whitesnake & Blue Öyster Cult?
Why else were they regulars of Radio 1's Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show throughout the 1980s and their records featured in the Rock Singles & Rock Albums Charts if they were not a Heavy Rock band?
by 1976 they were a spent force as regards the charts. they stayed together and altered their style of music, in the advent of punk opening doors and breaking down boundaries it became more acceptable to like more then 1 genre of music. i guess by then they were accepted as rock, but id suggest its only because their old fanbase grew and matured with the group... so the kids from 72 buying 'mama were all crazee now' were by 1980 buying rainbow, whitesnake, acdc etc... and were probably 'bait' to lure in fans to then listen to heavier(real) acts.
but when you talk about slade, you talk about their chart run in the early 70's... and that was pop... otherwise so many other acts would also qualify as heavy rock. i dont regard anything ive heard by slade to be especially 'heavy', and are certainly not 'heavier' then the stones, kinks, cream, busted, sweet, ...
id also add that in the early 70's you were strongly known by your taste in music which reflected your dress sense. heavy rockers were older and did not dress in the same clothes (outlined above) that slade fans did. it was very unusual for people to like more then 1 style of music... you couldnt! lol, thank god for punk breaking down those polarised stereotypes.

There could be innocent people sitting in jail cells this christmas who have been wrongly convicted using this technique, and that is a hundred times worse than a guilty person walking free
true.... but there could also be people walking around now enjoying life who may have been murdered by some serial killer, that is a hundered times better then letting someone off or ignoring potential evidence.
NO technique is without potential flaws, we have to go on what we believe at the time to be the best method. i have no doubt that when perfected dna will be pretty infalable.
however another day, another breech in security of data which only adds fuel to the 'anti database' ludites armoury.

Glam rock and leaning far more towards pop/glam rock as opposed to rock/glam rock
well yes.... 'glamrock' refers to the pop style characterised by sweet, slade, trex,... as opposed to that awful stuff the americans churned out in the 80's which also purported to be 'glamrock' (the yanks didnt have the real thing)... all that big hair ans spandex....

I am interested to hear from those people on this forum who believe DNA is the be all and end all, especially in the wake of the Omagh bombing where it has been suggested that some types of DNA evidence are unreliable.
Those of you who think DNA should be taken from all suspects at will, or from all members of the population, what is your opinion now when some types of DNA evidence could be fatally flawed and lead to convictions of innocent people.
Do you still support these draconain DNA gathering measures?
old topic..... but new light has been shed on the subject so ill let it go...
yep there have been flaws discovered in it, however the blokes got off on a technicality and if he hadnt been caught he could have done it again, or trained someone else too.
dna technology IS the be all and end all ONCE THEY HAVE GOT IT RIGHT. ive always said that it IS an invaluable tool to be used in conjunction with other forensics to prosecute crims. i would remind you of the two cases where dna trapped murderers who undetected could well have gone on to kill again. the parents of the victims are pushing for a national database and i agree.
there are many cases where dna alone would be enough to convict, but if its used in conjunction with forensics i see no problem if you arnt a criminal!

Yeah, pop definitely. Has anyone seen that great archive footage of when Dave Hill bought a house next to a girl's school? They were all hanging around outside and he popped his head out the door and they all screamed. Lord knows why - he was never a heart-throb now was he?
because he was in a successful pop group...
i must add that the 'flavour' of pop back in the early 70's was 'heavy' compared to 'pop' today... watertwat practically re-defined the genre making it a discription for 'manufactured' music.
people call busted and mcfly 'rock' or 'boyband'... they are neither, they are/were a good old fashioned 'pop group'.
SWEET were more accepted by the rock crowd then slade ever were, indeed they were much more suited to the term 'glam rock' then slade were. but glam rock was just noisy pop, it was never considered real rock.

We Australians are totally outraged by this totally inadequate and very sick outcome for this little girl.
Whats worse is that this little has been gang raped TWICE by members of her aboriginal community.
Another time when she was SEVEN years old. :cry:
Here is a bit of what happened to this poor child....
The girl was gang-raped at the age of seven in Aurukun on Cape York in 2002, and was later put into foster care with a non-indigenous family in Cairns. However, child safety officers in April 2006 returned her to Aurukun, where she was raped again at the age of 10.

Because of the public outcry a few heads have rolled. But I really want to see this judge pay big time for those disgusting comments that she made about this young girl. Talk about a heartless b**ch. :angry:
please keep us informed, its all died down here :)
7?... it gets worse....
though a couple of years ago some d!*kh**d raped a baby in blackpool... if ever there was a case for someone to get the kicking of his life.... that was it.

tbh i think theyd be derided in the same way busted were....its easy to look back on the past with rose coloured spectacles, but i never regarded them as 'hard rock', none of my m8s who were into hard rock rated slade as hard rock.. they were a glamrock pop group who in my generation wasnt refarded in the same light as deep purple, black sabbath, led zeppelin, hawkwind, golden earring, bad company etc etc etc...
slades fanbase was the young 'suedeheads' dressed in 'crombies' , ben sherman shirts, doc martens, sported 'feathered' haircuts. they were chart fodder and were not taken seriously by the 'hard rock fraternity'.
i dont think they can be placed in the same catagory at all as the inovative kinks... but slade were good, they were a good contemporary pop group, but as with other pop... disposable.
so yes, id liken them more now to busted then oasis, complete with their cheap disposable pop and teenage girl fanbase.
they were pure pop, and i was there at the time so :P
