the guy on the right says "keep your hands off my power supply! i need to keep all the shinies on my outfit plugged in." the other three are held in a hypnotic spell by those shinies; green&seated only recently, the other two have resigned to their fate. the rhinestone cowboy is in charge as long as the electric bill is paid.

Noddy. Fucking. Holder. On yer left.

It Nobby, Nobby Holder...he's on the left.

The neck of his guitar says it all, and the paternal hand on the shoulder, plus these days I think he's the only one who can still form sentences. Though I'm sure they are still doing the rounds of student gigs. On their Zimmer frames.

Ditto Beckeye: Noddy. Fucking. Holder.

But: Strictly adhering to the spirit of WICH, I would have to say that from this photo the guy on the right looks like he is in charge. The stance, the outfit, the Napoleonesque shortness...he appears to be in charge in this pic.

My, oh my. Saying Noddy Fucking Holder is in charge of Slade is like saying Brian Fucking Johnson is in charge of AC/DC. It's Mr. Guitar on the right, per Hatless.

We'd all still be talking about Slade if they'd done the sensible thing and joined Ronnie James Dio in Hear'n Aid for the recording of "We're Stars" back in the '80s.

The guy front and center just hypnotized me to vote for him.

BeckEye said...

Ah, "We're Stars." That was a thing of beauty. From a bunch of primarily ugly guys. (George Lynch excluded.)
