Slade was never pretentious. It was just music to them. Pop, rock, soul....it was all the same to Slade. They wrote great songs. And, besides, I'd like to raid their wardrobe.

A lot of these songs were written for our first album. One of them, Shuffle Your Feet, was from before we were a band even. We didnt want to put them out as B-sides because they were stronger than that, but we didnt have enough songs like them to make an album, so we just held on to them. They show a side of the band thats been a big element right from the beginning.

Music in general is very interpretative, isn’t it? It’s amazing how many songs in history have been misinterpreted but in an amazing way that means something to someone and that’s the beauty of music really, it’s what you make of it. And I think our songs are the same really, they’re no different, and if people pick out lines that mean something in their lives…it’s all we wanted to do: to mean something to people.
Adam Anderson
Hurts

She sings the songs without words Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard She knows more of love than the poets can say And her eyes are for something that won't go away.
Harry Chapin

I've always had this thing about it not really mattering where you're from, because there's always been this big cloud over America saying you have to live in L.A. or you have to live in New York to make it. I always knew it didn't matter as long as you had the songs.
Brandon Flowers

Whenever we do stuff with Die Antwoord, it's kind of like... I made a lot of music before this group that I'm kind of bored of and forgot about, and everything with Die Antwoord I really love. It's the first time I've made music where, even the first songs we made, I really adore all those songs, and I'm proud of them.
Watkin Tudor Jones

When we started this band, we always concentrated on the songs. If we had five good songs together, we wouldn't just slap four more 'okay' ones together just so we could go out and play. That's why we spent so much time in that spoon factory in Sheffield before we went out to play. We did that first gig only because Steve was so pissed off and threatening to quit if we didn't go and play a gig. But there was always that feeling there - that we have to do it right. Or we don't do it at all.
Rick Savage
Def Leppard
