Slade
[release] | Review on the new Slade DVD "INSIDE SLADE - THE SINGLES"
Classicrockproductions offers the second official Slade DVD ever. First was "Slade in Flame" as you already know. About 60 minutes of reviews on different Slade hits is presented as high quality video production. There are included a few very short original Slade clips from the archives of different TV shows (most owned by Granada TV like Supersonic and others).
It's is the best video quality ever we've seen in Slade. But the problem is that the clips are running a few seconds only! So don't expect a video compilation like "Wall of hits". Just expect some people talking about Slade - then you will not be disappointed.
Here's the direct link to the orderform orderform.

Slade
[release] | The DVD "Slade in Flame" will be released for the US market 23.3.2004. Here is the description from the website.
The early 1970s were very good to glam rockers Slade. In their native Britain, they invaded the charts with 17 Top 20 hits, including six at #1. Devoted fans couldn’t play Slade’s anthem-rock loud enough, and the band played to packed clubs and concert halls all across the country.
Like The Beatles and The Who before them, Slade too was seduced by the call of celluloid. In 1975, the band answered that call, starring in the critically lauded Flame. The film features the band starring as a fictitious version of themselves, while taking a dark and gritty look at the underbelly of the music industry, where hustlers, sharks and managers prey upon hot new bands.

[-other-] | Official statement by Dave Glover
(concerning the news from 22 Jan 2003)
I am not, and was not planning to marry Rosemary West.
I wrote to Rosemary West first in March 2002, after reading of her decision not to proceed with her appeal in the European Courts. I firmly believe that Rosemary West was wrongly convicted of murder and I wrote to tell her that I was sorry that she felt unable to proceed. Since then, we became good friends although press reports that we 'spoke every day and exchanged hundreds of love letters' are completely untrue. I am no longer in contact with Rosemary West.
The effect on my life of the publicity surrounding these reports has been completely devastating. I have lost my livelihood, a job that I loved and was proud to have. Most importantly, my family and friends have been caused untold distress. I would appreciate being left alone to try and rebuild my life.

Slade 2
[release] | A new article on Showbizzsite about Slade's release "Some exercise"
Een groep die wereldwijd al heel wat hits op hun palmares heeft staan, dat is Slade. Na een lange winterslaap reeds jaren terug een wereldwijd veelgevraagde act op festivals en in het clubcircuit. Hun ‘Best of’ stond onlangs nog in de Noorse Top 5. ‘Some Exercise’, geschreven door de Zweedse producer Tommy Lydell, is de eerste single van de band sinds ’94 ... Na een zeer gesmaakte performance op Schwung 2002, zijn ze op 26 juli te zien op het Kneistival in Knokke-Heist. Hun single ligt ondertussen in de platenhandel op U te wachten en is vaak te horen op Radio 2. Het is één van de zomerhits van 2002, wees daar maar zeker van.
So let's wait and see if that single is gonna be a summerhit in 2002?

[-other-] | Fan convention in Germany? Writte only in German language and brought to you by Slade fan Martin Kitz - watch this space for updates!
Wer hat Interesse an einem Fan-Treffen in Deutschland ?
Im vergangenen Jahr hatte Uwe Friedrich nach dem Konzert in Haltern, am 29.11.01, die Frage nach einem Slade-Fan-Treffen gestellt. Diese Frage ist wahrscheinlich unter den deutschen Fans schon öfter gestellt worden, wohlmöglich hat es ja auch schon das ein oder andere Treffen gegeben. Unabhängig davon haben wir uns nun gedacht, es wäre doch toll ein solches Fan-Treffen zu veranstalten, mit dem Ziel sich mal kennen zulernen, um Platten, CD's...zu tauschen oder verkaufen, usw...
Terminmäßig haben wir Ende Mai - Anf. Juli ins Auge gefasst. Was die übrige Planung angeht, da stehen wir noch am Anfang, weil wir erst einmal das Interesse an solch einem Fan-Treffen erfragen wollten.
Ein weiterer entscheidender Punkt ist die Frage, wo soll das Treffen stattfinden ?
Am günstigsten wäre es, wenn für alle die teilnehmen wollen, der Weg ungefähr gleich ist. Das ist aber schwer zu realisieren, weil man an diesem Ort auch jemanden haben müsste der das Treffen organisiert. Wenn ihr mit Mönchengladbach als Veranstaltungsort einverstanden seid, würde ich hier vor Ort versuchen die entsprechenden Dinge vorzubereiten (Raum für Treffen bereit stellen, Hotelsuche, event. Musikanlage, usw...)
Solltet ihr Interesse oder Vorschläge für das Treffen haben, meldet euch bei mir, ich bin für jede Idee dankbar. Ein Vorschlag, das Treffen mit einem Konzertbesuch (natürlich SLADE),
zu verbinden ist mangels Termine auch sehr schwer durchzuführen. Es ist zwar am 06. Juli 02 ein großes Oldie-Festival (Schalke-Arena) in relativer Nähe, aber dies an einem Tag durch-zuführen (Konzert u. Treffen), halte ich nicht für sinnvoll, zumal dieser Auftritt mit Sicherheit nur 20-30 min. dauern wird.
Bitte gebt unser Vorhaben an alle Slade-Fans weiter, meldet euch bitte bei mir.
