| This WAS the best song ever in 1983 (I was thirteen years old). _________________

True. In fact, Frankie Banali (QR drummer) sez that the reason that METAL HEALTH's producer, Spencer Proffer, wanted them to cover the song in the first place was cuz Kevin DuBrow's voice was very similar to Noddy Holder's (Slade's vocalist). None of the guys in the band were crazy about the song, they didn't want to cover it, but they did it and it turned out to be a huge hit. So go figure. If they'd stood their ground and didn't do the song, would QR have become as huge as they did, however briefly? Woooo, the mind boggles... _________________
