Brian Tatler was a great riff and songwriter. He's like Tony Iommi and Michael Schenker rolled into one - awesome! You hear the Iommi in the riff and the Schenker in the solo. Brilliant!
Kirk took his whole early look from this guitarist. The hair, style of shirt & the flying V. Cliff had his own style but that Rickenbacker is here too.
@@kennyevans9166 I'm not denying the obvious Diamond Head influence on Metallica, but quite a few 70's rock musicians had similar hair styles and wore similar clothing, including one of Kirk's biggest influences, Michael Schenker, who also played a Flying V.
just discovered this band a few days ago. was jamming out to "helpless" and said to myself: "I bet these guys were GREAT live!" couldn't have been more right.
It pains me every time to know that this band did not reach its full potential due to poor management and other problems. It is as if the prince never found Cinderella after the ball.
This is an awesome song. I love almost all of Diamond Heads early stuff with the classic, Harris-Tatler-Kimberly-Scott line-up. I own a couple of their singles and albums on vinyl and it's just awesome stuff. Its fun to hear in the video that Brian Tatler actually at points play the riff a bit out of tempo and make some minor mistakes. It's understandable though because the riff is quite difficult to play perfect at that speed, I have a bit of trouble with it myself.
Sean Harris is one of my Fav singers, that's a big thing to say I know as a rock fan, but he can both sing and write songs that have stayed with us. They're still going but need Sean Harris back! They're the school band that made it big!
@SteveBurk what are you on about? Sean Harris and Brian Tatler made this band wat it is. Vocals and Guitar. Nevermind the fact that his voice is amazing without apparently having to try. Listen to BORROWED TIME.
No Harris actually played rythm guitar on a few tracks where one single guitar wasn't enought. An example is Am I Evil? where Harris plays in the intro but not in the song itself. Though the album cover of Borrowed Time (I own the vinyl LP) only say that Harris sing he does play some rythm guitar on some of the songs.
@yupthatsme27 Now you have your chance...Thursday in New York!!!! I'll be there for sure!! One of the most influential bands ever and the creators of new wave of British heavy metal...
Look at the audience...Diamond Head in front of them, ready to influence a wide range of Metal Bands afterwards and no one moves a single fucking head or feet 😛 a clear case of "pearls thrown before swine"...
saw diamond head july just gone in the wolverhampton slade rooms, smallest room in the world! right at the front and even met brian tatler and nick tart after the show, was an awesome gig!
I love Diamond Head! How many think I should get a Diamond Head tattoo on my right arm when I turn 15 or 16? Im 14 now but I cant fuckin wait to get one.
Diamond Head and The Ruts - yes The Ruts are a Punk band but these 2 British bands were so good that it's a pity they never went that far although Diamond Head did release more albums than The Ruts but then they didn't lose their vocalist to heroin and at least they made some money out of Metallica covering a few of their songs .Sorry i don't mean to compare the 2 bands i just happen to like both bands.
omg, both the left and right hand technique of tatler looks so similar to the way i'm playing. like the way he holds a pick. big difference though is that he can actually play kickass solos, not me :P
@TOMAS 9308 NWOBM is new wave of British metal. Part of the beginnings of metal as we know it. @ HATERS Compared to what else was happening in the music scene at the time, This was hugely cutting-edge. Many of the nwobm bands were Super amazing. To be brave and do what you want is cool. Have some respect your watching a part of history.
I thank Metallica for getting the names of same great forefathers of metal out there. And just pretty killer music in general. But these guys were definitely far too overlooked. Just tearing it up, like true badasses
Who on earth put them on this show, managers beware! This was such the wrong audience for them, the manager was clearly touting them for anything. DH were the most underrated NWOBHM band in my opinion. So there.
i guess in that perspective i'm more of a blues player. not that i care, Tatler plays really nice, i could only dream to be as good as him. thats all that matters to me, fuck all the super fast shredders out there, i prefer some soul in guitaristry...
maiden were awesome but u forgot this band never mad a bad song maiden made plenty maiden were more popular and never sold out, but they make music today which is no where near as good as there oldies
Saw them live a few times round this period - always thought that Brian Tatler needed to crank his guitar up a bit more on the rhythm parts although it sounds pretty good here. Sean Harris was too much of a poser though - lot of guys didn't really take too kindly to his posturing.

Led Zeppelin acelerado
sean harris - one of the finest singers ever.....
Sounds like a UFO wannabee
@@Frip36 no way
Brian Tattler invented James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine style !
Ernesto Galindo check out the bass too. Whole lotta cliff going on.
Kirk took his whole early look from this guitarist. The hair, style of shirt & the flying V.
Cliff had his own style but that Rickenbacker is here too.
Kenny Evans the hair

Yes, but there is the chance now - only pesky Covid in the way!
Before MTV !!!!!!!
The Denim & leather is back with Brian Tatler!!!!
STILL the best band the NWOBHM ever spawned.
Real metal. Love it.
The quality of this video is AMAZING for a 30+ year old recording. One of their best songs imo
this is a cornerstone of what influenceced james and co. i fully reconize tatler and harris' motives
God dam they rock. Tattler is busting it.

Brian Tatler is every bit as showman as Randy Rhoads! Top clip, Never seen this before!
damn all the way in good ol 2007
Sean Harris is one of my Fav singers, that's a big thing to say I know as a rock fan, but he can both sing and write songs that have stayed with us. They're still going but need Sean Harris back! They're the school band that made it big!
has to be one of the best riffs ever.
Feel the power surge!!
Love EM!!!
Mind blowing 😎👍
Saw 'em loads of times , the BEST nwobhm ever, better than Maiden even.
Pedaso de banda
El publico de esa epoca no estaba lista para ellos
Rock never die🤟
@yupthatsme27

Freakin' badass!
отличная команда.
Axуенная

Only one true metalhead in the audience.
2...... 1:05
Two
Headbanging was only just adopted by hm fans at this time, unlikely as it sounds
@@keithjackson1265 Ian Gillan did headbsnging in the early 70s..Deep Purple, Copenhagen concert from 72 for example
Now that’s a frontman!
Nice singer, i love this band even tough they aren't technically super , they are so imprtant for the NWOBH, great music.
Look at the audience...Diamond Head in front of them, ready to influence a wide range of Metal Bands afterwards and no one moves a single fucking head or feet 😛 a clear case of "pearls thrown before swine"...
1:04
and look at the kids at the end
Frickn frinkn frick thats frikn frikn frick!!!
greatest nwobhm band ever!! love this album. The band fails more than once on this video lol
saw diamond head july just gone in the wolverhampton slade rooms, smallest room in the world! right at the front and even met brian tatler and nick tart after the show, was an awesome gig!
Fuck yea.
👍👍👍
I love Diamond Head! How many think I should get a Diamond Head tattoo on my right arm when I turn 15 or 16? Im 14 now but I cant fuckin wait to get one.
I hope you got this tattoo my dude
Wowwww 15 years
Greatest NwOBhM band. nuff said
New Wawe Of British Heavy Metal
Toys in the Attic riff?
Budgie...
They were 20 years old here, just kids! Give them some slack in the comments...Jeezz!!!
Diamond Head and The Ruts - yes The Ruts are a Punk band but these 2 British bands were so good that it's a pity they never went that far although Diamond Head did release more albums than The Ruts but then they didn't lose their vocalist to heroin and at least they made some money out of Metallica covering a few of their songs .Sorry i don't mean to compare the 2 bands i just happen to like both bands.
FUUUCK YEAH

solo is better than the album version

Yep gotta agree, Greatest nwobhm band ever
with some adjustments in the band's sound they would have become very big
If punk is what you get when pub rock bands play faster and louder, Diamond Head is what you get when metal plays faster and louder.
Don't listen to this while driving. You may get a speeding ticket.
What size cymbles is this drumming using lool
Reminds me of montroes and sammy
@yupthatsme27 yeah underrated but its SHAMEFUL that most of the ignorant kids know Diamond Head just cos Metallica covered some of their tunes
@SteveBurk
Well thats your opinion but hey I think Diamond Head is kick ass and doesn't need to change anything haha
what's nwobhm ??
i agree with izabel! (sucking my love is the business!)
I see now why Hetfield played the White V
yeahh id say so
hardest song to learn without head banging
Who on earth put them on this show, managers beware! This was such the wrong audience for them, the manager was clearly touting them for anything.
DH were the most underrated NWOBHM band in my opinion.
So there.
i wonder why u can like not even hear the bass at all in this even with headphones the bassist might as well of stood up there n played nuthin
i can hear alot of jimmy page influence in his solo
Intro like amorphis..forgot what the name song..
actually. You really could say the same about diamond head.
Oof 😈💀💪
venom and mercyful fate are really black metal
...I find myself captivated somehow by their nostrils. strange, i know, but is it possible this band could have taken some influence from HAAAWKwind?
1:21 Its that the stupid guy in harry potter?
i guess in that perspective i'm more of a blues player. not that i care, Tatler plays really nice, i could only dream to be as good as him. thats all that matters to me, fuck all the super fast shredders out there, i prefer some soul in guitaristry...
maiden were awesome but u forgot this band never mad a bad song maiden made plenty maiden were more popular and never sold out, but they make music today which is no where near as good as there oldies
Brian Tatler, unless you want to sound like some rockabilly guy, turn yer f-ing guitar up!
that's one sloppy solo, but i like the riffs!
Saw them live a few times round this period - always thought that Brian Tatler needed to crank his guitar up a bit more on the rhythm parts although it sounds pretty good here. Sean Harris was too much of a poser though - lot of guys didn't really take too kindly to his posturing.
Uh !
thats right i'm much more better lookin :)
how many people are here because James Hetfield likes them? how many think James has horrible taste in music now?
Metallica teachers
Pretty much a ripoff of Judas Priest's "Call for the Priest" from '77.
Other than the main riff I don't hear it
@@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist Listen to the first verse of Street of Gold. Then listen to the 2nd verse of Judas Priest's "Call for the Priest", at 2:10.
