"Cum Feel the Noize" by the group "Quiet Riot" was indeed done by a British
group called "Slade" around 1974-75. Quiet Riot's version sounds very
similar to the original except for some flashier guitar work. The first
few times I heard this song I thought it actually was slade. I thought,
wow, Slade is finally going to make it in the states. No such luck. But
the lead singers of both groups, at least in this song, have very similar
voices. I had to go home and play my "Slade Smashes" (greatest hits) album
a few times before I could tell the differance. The next time I heard the
song on the radio I found out it was Quiet Riot and once again let Slade
slide off into oblivion. Too Bad!
