Excellent review, nothing more needs to be said about the greatest rock band in history. And yes, Tony could reproduce the guitar sounds live, I saw him do it.
Oh, my young friend (I'm 67), you've just discovered an absolute gold mine ................................................trust me. That Budgie catalog kills.
I can personally guarantee the 1970s Rock era was much more expansive in scope than today. From Abba to Zappa Baby!! I'm so glad to have lived in this moment of history...
Seen Budgie a few times ,,first time was At Cardiff castle with curved air,the strawbs,hawkwind,status quo,,compere was the great John Peel. 24th July 1976 tickets £3.50.
Never understood why Budgie never took off (forgive the pun) in North America. Great musicianship you never knew what you were going to get, sweet gentle acoustic or groundpounding metal. Burke Shelley was the face of Budgie sadly he passed ealier this year. Tony Bourge was also a great guitar player. Musically they were kind of all over the place BUT they did it well. There are all sort of comparisons between Burke and Geddy, they looked the same, both sang, played bass and keyboards however there some superficial differences, Geddy is from a Jewish background and Burke was very devout Christian and more importantly for you Burke played his bass using a Pick.
For me Budgie was one of those bands that got Heavy Metal early and I think were absolutely pioneers but somehow couldn’t quite convert completely into the something the masses (even heavy metal masses) would embrace. So, they stayed in a degree of obscurity although their talent should have resulted in something bigger for them. Worth checking out more of the songs.
I hear the "gallop" like early Metallica or Maiden but I think the very up front clean guitar sound is more like early Judas Priest, yeah I know "apples & oranges".
Not sure where you're coming from. Budgie were light years ahead of Metallica and Maiden. Metallica covered Budgies songs not the other way around. Budgie were the masters of rock for some of us 70's kids
Certainly an influence on Metalica as you can see on the album 'Garage Inc'. Most react to the track Breadfan as they can compare it with Metalica's version. This track, Guts (very early), In for the Kill and Parents are amongst their best. I saw them a few times in England in the seventies and eighties, even on a double bill with Ozzy's, Blizzard of Ozz, just after he left Sabbath.
Hell yeah! Born in the wrong generation. Haha yeah some of the mixing is wacky in the song. There's some beauty in the flaw of music, i think that's why a lot of my favorite bands are from that period
I saw this band in 1975/6 at the Winter Gardens Cleethorpes. Blew me away...Drawing my pension now and still rocking to this. :-)

Burke Shelley, the Welsh Geddy Lee, plays base, high vocals, goofy look, long hair and glasses!
For only 3 guys in the band, that is pretty heavy especially back in that time. I saw them live 3 times and that wasnt enough.

Well put, 100% agree
I saw them many times back in the day , they were one of the loudest bands I ever saw, your ears were always ringing after the show.
They're so underrated, love them really
Budgie was great. Very underrated band.
What a band see them many times live always brilliant, should have been bigger amazing band.
A great reaction video to a to a great band and a great song!
Awesome album, I Can't Help that Feeling is one of those guitar things you love to learn. Good live, saw them early 80's.
When i buy there first Albums I was hooked on them
Not surprisingly I have 3 or 4 Budgie albums. As I Rush and Yes fan you gotta have some Budgie...

I used to listen to some Budgie back in the 70s. Good stuff.

Love these guys, saw them a couple times on their American tour back in the day. . Got, I think everything they've put out... thanks for the reaction.
I Can't See My Feelings-Breadfan- In the Grip of the Tyrefitters Hand- Parents......all Budgie kickers.
And to think that this was released in 1975. A few years before Sound Garden. LOL.
Funny. "This is not very Heavy Metal." Wait for it... Also, Soundgarden covered Homicidal Suicidal (from Budgie's first album)
Great band - saw them several times including a small intimate gig in my home town and in an arena supporting Ozzy
Yes, same tour at St Albans City hall as it was back then. Couldn't imagine Ozzy playing a gig of that size a year or so later?
Hey maybe you should hear "don't dilute the water" off Budgie's Impeckable album......groovy rock blues🤟

Take a look at the band 'Groundhogs' too for a little British Classic Blues based Rock. 'Jokers Grave' or 'Cherry Red' may be options?
Great suggestion, 'Garden' is a favourite of mine
@@youreatoilet Split was their best work IMHO, Another great band I saw in the 70's. Agree... A superb suggestion. :-)
yeah, this is a great gallop
