Although they never really caught on in America, Slade were a tremendously popular glam rock outfit in their native UK where they landed 11 top five hits from 1971 to 1974. Led by the guttural vocals of Noddy Holder, Slade were more akin to the drunken, balls-out pub rock sounds of Sweet and the New York Dolls than the campier posturing of Queen or David Bowie. Their trademark was purposely-misspelled song titles backed up by rowdy lyrics, thick bluesy guitars and driving rhythms. In the early 1980s, Quiet Riot covered two Slade compositions, "Cum on Feel the Noize" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now," but a North American fan base consistently eluded them.
When Slade agreed to star in a film, at the height of their popularity, they chose to buck the obvious trend. Taking a conscious step away from previous band films like Head and A Hard Day's Night, the lads instead offered a dark look behind the curtain of stardom in this fictional tale. Humorous and bittersweet, Slade in Flame was years ahead of its time, and is now rightly hailed as one of the strongest rock and roll films ever made.
Bassist Paul (Jim Lea), drummer Charlie (Don Powell), guitarist Barry (Dave Hill), and "I'm not the vocalist, I'm the singer" Stoker (Noddy Holder) first meet when they are playing in the unstable local rock scene around London. After their respective bands disintegrate, they decide to form Flame. The group clicks, but after playing a rollicking first show, they are confounded when their agent quits. What seems like a setback actually works out in their favor, as Flame soon find they have some new fans�at a major record label. The boys are brought in to meet with label honcho Robert Seymour (Tom Conti, Shirley Valentine), and begin recording an album.
As increasingly cheesy publicity stunts, orchestrated by the label's PR department, take precedence over the music, the members of Flame learn that rock stardom isn't all it's cracked up to be (surprise!). Worse, their old agent confronts Seymour and claims that Flame is still under his exclusive contract. Meanwhile, the members of Flame are getting tired of being treated like commodities and start to look for a way out.
