The Runaways also did a Slade cover.

Did you know Ballroom Blitz by Krokus was a Sweet cover?

How about 5-man Electric Band, writers & performers of Signs:



A lot of folks I know used to think Tesla wrote it.

I love Rock & Roll wasn't written by Joan Jett, & nor Crimson & Clover.

Higher Ground - Stevie Wonder

Even Tainted Love, by Soft Cell, is a cover.
 
We were big Slade fans back in the 70's. If you really want to see some "stage performance" watch their movie Slade in Flame.

They sure had a good time on stage and their bassist, Jim Lea wrote most of their music with Noddy Holder the singer writing the lyrics. Jim not only played the bass but also the piano and violin!

Here's one of my favorite early Slade songs:



For the Slade in Flame movie they wrote all new songs that were a little more pop to match the band in the movie. Here's one of my favorites from that album:



This is another good song performed in a clip from the movie:

 
Ahh, Slade. A bunch of lads that surely didn't take themselves too seriously.:D

Yep i gave Quiet Riot a chance after hearing their cover of Cum on Feel The Noise, but they didn't really rock that hard so i stuck with Slade.
I can't recall if that was around the same time i was trying on Starz or not but they didn't last long either. It was a time of big hair and attitude and i was looking for go to hell and amplitude.
