Glam rock (also known as glitter rock) is a style that developed in the UK in the post-hippie early 1970s that was "performed by singers and musicians wearing outrageous clothes, makeup, hairstyles, and platform-soled boots."


I think the evidence speaks for itself.

I always associated glam rock with people such as Bowie, Marc Bolan (TRex) and others that played more melodious pretty music.

Slade music was pure and simple 4/4 rock and roll and if anything they pushed the sharpie gang look down under in Oz with the Sharpie haircut, Noddy Cap, Braces, white shoes, no socks and Martin Jackets.

When Slade embarked upon their one and only movie in 1974, fans and critics alike were expecting something akin to a Glam rock update of The Beatles `A Hard Days Night, released a decade earlier. After all, in the dark days of a Britain beset by strikes, power cuts and a collective musical identity crisis, Slade were the ultimate good time band: irreverent, loud and armed with a terrific set of singalong stompers.

Clip from SLADE's "Flame" movie, this is probably where spinal tap got the idea from, or at least the same story, which obviously came from Screamin' Lord Sutch's stage act.

Here's Noddy (Stoker) singing with rival band The Undertakers doing a Screaming Lord Such thing..."Flame" allthough made in the early 70's was really a document of the realities of mid 60's band life. Check out their manager who is soooo Don Arden.

Another clip from Slade In Flame. Probably the best(or at least most realistic) Rock movie ever made. Great offshore Pirate Radio/Radio City/Radio London/Caroline/Seagull type thing...
