"Cum Feel the Noize" by the group "Quiet Riot" was indeed done by a British
group called "Slade" around 1974-75.  Quiet Riot's version sounds very 
similar to the original except for some flashier guitar work.  The first
few times I heard this song I thought it actually was slade.  I thought,
wow, Slade is finally going to make it in the states.  No such luck.  But
the lead singers of both groups, at least in this song, have very similar
voices.  I had to go home and play my "Slade Smashes" (greatest hits) album
a few times before I could tell the differance.  The next time I heard the
song on the radio I found out it was Quiet Riot and once again let Slade
slide off into oblivion.  Too Bad!
