Happy 70th Birthday, Slade Lead Guitarist Dave Hill

I love glam.

Dave Hill

David John Hill (born 4 April 1946) is an English musician, who is the lead guitarist and backing vocalist in the English glam rock group, Slade. Hill is known for his flamboyant stage clothes and hairstyle. The music journalist, Stuart Maconie, commented "he usually wore a jumpsuit made of the foil that you baste your turkeys in and platforms of oil-rig-derrick height. All of this though paled in comparison with his coiffure, a sort of demented tonsure with a great scooping fringe. He even had one around 1973 outfit famously called his 'Metal Nun' suit but later styles were much toned down."

My dream in life is that some day I will show up at a yard sale or Salvation Army thrift store and find a metallic suit like the one Dave Hill is wearing in this video:

You can choose any video of that tune, and he'll be wearing something outrageous. This could be the same suit. Depending on the lighting, it can look gold or silver.

1. I was always a Slade fan

This version of Come on feel the Noize is so much better than the Quiet Riot version that was popular in the US it isn't funny.
