Budgie is a Welsh band from the late 60's onward. They are considered to be a founder of Metal. They are very popular in my hometown of San Antonio Texas. They were formed in Cardiff. This song has been covered by Metallica. Be proud of your country and its musical heritage. Thank you so much. Really needed this today. This is one of those bands that were successful but never huge. I have seen them twice live. Thank you again. I will send you a female artist next. _YourBiggestFan
@@jphillipsjwp yeah, actually any song from Legs Diamond would be good. Even as far back as stage fright. And for Budgie songs to react to could be " turn to stone", "crime against the world", " im no mountain" and " parents". As Mr. Joe Anthony would say, " Rock n roll". "Lets pop the top with the home of rock n roll. 99.5 Kiss". I can almost hear him right now.
@@lawrencesantana7253 I miss KZEP I am no longer in S.A. but I used to listen to the mighty ZEP online. Kiss got to be a bit commercial for my taste. Not at all in the footsteps of Joe Anthony. San Antonio has a very unique rock history, I miss it. Sunken Gardens, Sneakers, Las Amone(Can't spell) I miss it all.
@@jphillipsjwp la semana allegre- the free week. During fiesta week. Yeah i know what you mean. 99.5 rock music has gone down in quality as far as new music is concerned. There is no more 104.5 kzep any more. I forget the classic rock channel, but even that one has gone down quite a bit. Just like any other station, they play the same songs. I dint hear early black Sabbath, hardly any ufo, once a year maybe some Edgar Winter or queensryche - the early years- by accident. But the good thing is there's always you tube. Try ricking out to the resurrection band " shadows" live and Darrell Mansfield " people get ready" live and Bloodgood "top of the mountain". Let me know what you think.
From your part of the world, Wales. Loved them back in the 70's and still love to listen to them now. They had a following down here in Australia. Rest in peace Burke Shelley.
@@fuzzycounsellor9147 To be honest I don't think Metalica could do the slow part. They just don't have anybody that can sing that way. the secret to that slow part is his melodic relaxing trance he puts you while listening to it and it's his unique voice that does it. I think Metalica realized that and decided to leave it out.
As well as those recommended already I would add Hot as a Docker's Armpit, Homicidal Suicidal, Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman, In the Grip of the Tyrefitter's Hand. Yes, Budgie had the best song titles :-)
Another underrated band that blew people's socks off, was Family. Try; Good News/Bad News (Anyway) Holding the Compass (Anyway) You'll love Roger Chapman's voice. Enjoy!
hmmm! nice little discovery! reminds me of a Deep Purple + "Early" Rush (Workin Man) vibes! (you should check Rush out! another BIG rabbit hole to fall in if you have not heard about them!!! mostly in the 80's and the 90's) the voice threw me off at first but then I SAW the light! not bad indeed! :)
budgie and BOC don't get much respect in Rick androll but they should when you put dolly Parton and enieum in the rock and roll hall of fame its a slap in the face srew the hall of famewhat are they thinking about aloha
Award shows are basically meaningless it all politics. Checkout Ricky Gervais 5 times hosting the Golden Globe award shows, he reveals a lot of inside info.
Apart from a "+1" to all the recommendations in these comments I've seen, if you want another hard rocker with a mellow bit in the middle, you might like Napoleon Bona Parts 1 and 2. And then I have to let you know about *Cardiacs* (from a bit further underground than Budgie). Sometimes they rock, sometimes they pop, sometimes they're fairly heavy, and often they're wild-crazy ("circus music" - best circus music your mind's bears ever rode their bicycles to). Maybe try *Nurses Whispering Verses* on your own time, and then if you think they might be worth reacting to (based on however you decide that), maybe consider something else to follow it up. (I'll put another link in a "reply" to this, so as not to clutter your "top thread" with my posts. th-cam.com/video/tiVOEHIHuzU/w-d-xo.html (It has a mellow section, too - almost ambient - but it's like a psychedelic jungle full of insects singing insect hymns.)
The band Dogma has a heavy metal tune called free yourself that has a jazz piece seamlessly wedged into the middle. Maybe they got the idea from Budgie? th-cam.com/video/KUyHVLJ3hWQ/w-d-xo.html
Yeah..I like how Metallica did this cover also..you should checkout diamond head...am I evil..Metallica did that cover also👍I would tell you to review Metallica doing a cover of so what..that one you can only play on headphones 🤣
Metallica covers songs and kinda makes them generic. This crash course in brain surgery(also by Budgie), Green Hell, Whiskey in the jar and TURN THE PAGE, just to start the list.
I used to watch Budgie live during the late seventies and eighties. This is from the album "Never turn your back on a friend".
Budgie, such an underrated band form the 70s and 80s! You should listen to their song Napoleon Bonaparts 1 and 2 🎸
Budgie are like the best parts of Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Rush combined! It's criminal that they aren’t better known.
Yes, but I kinda like being able to turn someone on to this band that never heard of them..
@@fuzzycounsellor9147 So that's 99.99% of people you meet then!
@@HolyCodzta Pretty much yep..

Being from San Antonio as well, Justin is 💯 correct about Budgie popularity.
@@nickgarcia8301 Need her to react to Legs Diamond Woman!

That mellow part is becoming my fav part of the song. His voice is so perfect so smooth and relaxing but not boring.
Agree, I was disappointed to hear Metallica's version that left that part out. I like the original better by a long shot.

Other great songs by Budgie is Parent´s, Baby please don´t go (a cover), Crash Course In Brain Surgery.
Young is a World from their 2nd album. Squawk.

Try;

You'll love Roger Chapman's voice.

This has been your Aunty Angela's ringtone for the past 2 years x
Budgie a great Welsh band, and saw them live at Birminghams Bingley Hall (now not there) in the mid 1970’s.
from Tiger Bay, Cardiff. they were the first band i saw live, at my school's Christmas dance, in Caerleon, 1970
Yes, damn good and hard for the 70's!
hmmm! nice little discovery! reminds me of a Deep Purple + "Early" Rush (Workin Man) vibes! (you should check Rush out! another BIG rabbit hole to fall in if you have not heard about them!!! mostly in the 80's and the 90's) the voice threw me off at first but then I SAW the light! not bad indeed! :)
Early Rush definitely.
Well Budgie can do the quiet stuff... Slipaway is quite brilliant.
Budgie are exclusively Welsh and are a early seventies and 80's metal band.
One of my first,gigs!birmingham Town Hall,brill!
Love me some Budgie, They're like a Welsh Rush though not as Proggy, more heavy, all good though.
Burke shelly the bassist died in January this year.....
R.I.P.
(rewatch new comment)
I love it!
What bands would you consider the intro to metal? I was too young then, but this song… 🎉
Budgie great band formed in Cardiff in late sixties
You know that this is one of the Songs METALLICA made a Tribute Cover Version of ?

Best thing to come out of Wales ever yes Gareth Bale better than you!
Metallica's version of this is Awesome :)
It's good but it's no budgie level of greatness.
