"Rock and Roll Preacher (Hallelujah I'm On Fire)" is a single from rock band Slade, released in 1982 from the album ''Till Deaf Do Us Part''. It was written by lead singer Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea. The single was released as a single in Germany only and peaked at #49 on the chart. == Background == The track replaced Slade's cover of Hear Me Calling as an opener for each live concert. The song opens the 1982 album Slade on Stage as a result. The track has been covered by Sapo and The Sirens.〔Slade's remastered album Till Deaf Do Us Part booklet〕 Although no promotional video was created for the track, it was mimed on German TV at the time of release. The single was released on 7 inch and 12 inch vinyl. Unlike the 7 inch, the 12 inch version is extended, using the album version of the track which features Holder delivering a mock ceremony of the communion of rock and roll. For the 7" single, Rock and Roll Preacher was edited down from 5:34 to 3:17, most likely in order to gain radio plays. The b-side Knuckle Sandwich Nancy was a single released in the UK earlier that year. In the September-December 1986 Slade fan club magazine, the poll results were announced for the 1986 opinion poll based on Slade’s material. For the best album track, Rock and Roll Preacher (Hallelujah I’m on Fire) placed at #1. In the same 1986 poll, for the best live song, Rock and Roll Preacher (Hallelujah I’m on Fire) placed at #2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rock and Roll Preacher (Hallelujah I'm On Fire)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
