I absolutely love Diamond Head, they are amazing!!!!!! I saw em at Barcelona Rockfest this year and MAN HOW COOL!!! One of my favourite bands for sure!
For myself I can say that if not for British rock-n-roll, I would not be the complete musical junkie I am today. I cut my teeth on the Beatles (whom I still revere), moved on to the trio of Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Purple- and never looked back. Thank you Mother England for a lifetime of enjoyment. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
Saw them back in the day maybe four times - the last being at the Hammy-O in.. 82? Still have the tour book. Started looking out for them after they supported someone I can't remember which band now! I do remember travelling to Southsea IIRC with a camera loaded with 35mm slide film and still have some prints I think. I had the white label we referred to as Lightning To The Nations, which unfortunately I decide to sell years back.
Matlike1 .. Am I evil is the Diamond Head song you muppet! :p it makes me so fucking happy that there's a news article about 'our' kind of music nowadays, because it's dying out from the lack of publicity it gets in the media. This article pretty much gives it hope :)
Sean played a massive part of this band, and it annoyed me that he wasn't mentioned, but as he's no longer with them i guess they thought it was easier not to mention him, Also when i met Sean i sat down with him for about an hour before a gig backstage and he was telling me how Lars stayed at his nans house, and not at Brian's like he mentioned in this clip, so i guess that was easier too for the purpose of the news feature.
Diamond head. One of the worlds greatest bands.
As influential as Sabbath.

It’s a shame that so little people know about Diamond Head
Brian is an amazing man. Humble and talented. Love you buddy.
Thank you Brian. Your a genius

Should have been as big as Maiden or Sabbath even Metallica!
@@vids595 That's an interesting point.
Awesome 🤘
Man, awesome news clip, total respect to DIAMOND HEAD.
Brilliant!
Great band Diamond Head

I hope they got good amount of royalties from Metallica for Am I Evil and Helpless.
@@EasyZee69 they did, If I remember correctly the royalties basically paid for Brian Tatler's house.
Diamond head the originators!!
Great band.
To be fair, they're very famous to people that listen to metal.
@BFMV1500 I did, best live moment ever! Along side when I saw Megadeth play Rust In Peace in full at Download in 2010 :D
I knew I saw Nick Owen in the mosh pit during Seek and Destroy. No one believed me.
@BFMV1500 Right here! Oh man, the only way it could have been better was if I were closer to the stage!
nick owen....seen tallica.....loadsa times.... wtf.... i was there at sonisphere front row for about 10hrs
Nick Tart, you mean? Wasn't Nick Owen a Jurassic Park character?
@@hmpz36911 Nick Owen was the Anchor man at the end of the piece.
MY MOTHER WAS A WITCH, SHE WAS BURNED ALIVEEEEE!!!
What about Sean Harris? Guess he didn’t contribute.
Yeah, he's talking about the impact of DH and there's only Brian there.
Brian is the only original member still in the band.

@@LannyC Yeah Sean is awesome, he's on youtube and will respond to any message you give him.
Arkward moment @ 2:49 lol
Implied as a regular handshake except they were not facing but standing next to each other so had to use opposite hands
Am I Eviiiiiiiiiiil?
Уes I am!
** After the show **
“Alright James and Lars I’m off to my night shift at Walgreens be safe guys”
Haha he lives comfortably off the royalties from Garage Inc
@@AceCrickey and lightning, that thing sells.
lars aside... god bless lars
And, of course, Nick Owen used to present breakfast TV with Anne DIAMOND. Just saying...
Awseome band. Should've been massive but bad labels and management sealed their fate. Same with UFO and Tygers.
