5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating story from a glam rock legend, 20 Sep 2000
By A Customer
I received this book in the mail with Christmas-like anticipation. Slade was my favorite band during my teens in Boston and news about them and airplay were rarer than an understated Dave Hill outfit. I was usually reduced to the odd clip on In Concert to see them. Noddy writes with a generous and discreet spirit. He is aware of his good fortune to have lived his dreams and even seems at peace about the disparity between Slade's huge UK success and negligible US impact. His working class upbringing after the war, the band's early days on the club circuit, and his encounters with rising stars (e.g., Freddie Mercury selling togs in Kensington Market, a leather-clad Beatles at a Walsall youth center) are fascinating, as is the recounting of drummer Don Powell's Bentley accident that took his girlfriend's life and his memory and sense of smell and taste. I would have liked more background on their tours, though now I finally understand guitarist Dave Hill's stage persona (even they thought he was bonkers).

I finished the book wanting to hear more and thinking Noddy would be great company. I wish I could have seen them in England during their prime, though the two Providence, RI shows I saw when they were still trying to dent the US market were bliss. A must read for Slade and music fans and Anglophiles. Thanks for the memories, Noddy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unpretentious Auto Biography of a Great Singer, 21 Aug 2001
I purchased this book having seen a documentary on BBC1 about Slade. As I'm sure you are aware Noddy Holder was the front man/lead singer of the Glam Rock Group Slade. I found the book easy to read and gave a great insight into the writers' and the groups rise and full from fame. Refreshingly, the writer is not spouting on about how great he was or how great the group was, but he gave a well balanced full picture of youngsters growing up in the Midlands and then going on to become one of the most successful groups of the 70s. A great read. A must. I found it a hard book to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Noddy Holder - Who's Crazee Now, 1 Sep 2009
By Kenneth M. Rump "grumpy1069" (Sydney Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been a slade fan from way back in the early 1970's and it was a pleasure to read Noddy's recollections. It gave me an insight to what Slade were all about. Even though I feel that Noddy has alot more to say....particulary as the Aussie tour back in 1973 was hardly covered I am looking forward to a more extensive coverage if it is forth coming? And i'm sure there are a lot more "in between the lines" information to come. So c'mon Noddy "get down and get with it" and give us a little bit more!!!!!!!!!!!
