Donald George Powell (born on 10 September 1946) is an English musician who was the drummer for glam rock and later style hard rock group, Slade for over twenty years.
Early life
As a child Powell joined the Boy Scouts where he became interested in the drums after being asked to join the band on a Sunday morning parade. After Etheridge Secondary Modern School he studied Metallurgy at Wednesbury Technical College. Powell then worked as a metallurgist in a small foundry before turning professional as a drummer. He was athletic and a keen amateur boxer, although an easy going personality, and apparently had his nose broken three times. It was he who was sent around with the hat money collection amongst early audiences.
Powell became a member of The Vendors, a band that guitarist Dave Hill later joined. The Vendors became the N'Betweens and bass guitarist / keyboard player / violinist / guitarist Jim Lea got in at an audition. Powell then spotted Noddy Holder playing with Steve Brett & The Mavericks and he and Hill got Holder to join the N'Betweens. They regrouped as Ambrose Slade, changed the name to Slade and the success began. It always amused them that they played their first rehearsal on 1 April.
somewhere a pen is busy with hate tonight jaded eyes and cynics bring me down somewhere a kid is playing his heart out tonight but he'll get nowhere with the Berkeley in-crowd well put-downs are so easy like a novel without a soul and every executioner wears a hood when it's time for heads to roll well they're just like new dictators trying to tell us what to love well their opinion they can take and shove somewhere young rebels will meet up tonight somewhere skateboarders and straightedgers will unite they don't need no magazine that's filled with hate and lies get enough from the world around them they're young but they are wise but negativity's easy you just fire and walk away and it's the armchair general who lives to fight another day well their opinion they can take and shove if this was 1944, they'd be pointing their guns at you cause every fascist, left or right, has a fucked-up set of rules but do they really think the kids are such fools?
