"Most underrated band" is the most common comment about Budgie. Still, I feel pride in my discovery of them early on and being able to turn my friends on has been a joy. Nothing too much wrong with being a large fish in a smaller pond. That is success, too.
Ja miałem 11 leżąc w szpitalu. Mój wujek słuchał i mnie zaraził. Cudowna płyta, brzmienie. Dla mnie zapach zimy. Moja pierwsza trójka wśród płyt. Pozdrawiam.
@@yogiguitar1 "the system" Which system? "but i remember" And that is all you need to beat "the system": forget what you want to forget, and remember what you want to remember!
I take long breaks from listening to Budgie and then rediscover them after the break and EVERY time I go, "man are these guys so good". I am amazed that they were not absolutely hugely successful. There are so many far worse bands that made it bigger. Love Budgie...always will. If you don't know who they are, you will be amazed if you give them a listen.
Nghtflight , is in my opinion a great example of an Anthem song. I can hear scorpions, Ronnie James Dio, and so many other familiaritys,to heavy metal industry. I am 50 years old and cannot believe that just today I have found budgie. I'm sure I've heard their music many times but did not know who they were. But it's never too late to be a fan.
Doubting you will read this but same is happening right now with me. Jaw dropped and first thought was how have I not heard these guys. Budgie was just a name on a notebook when I was a kid. My brothers and their friends whittled away school hours by writing band names all over their notebooks. I copied a lot of them not even knowing who some of the bands were. Budgie was one of those bands.
@@wasntme9578 Check out their catalogue if you've not already done so. I've been a fan for 45 years. Debut album is one of the best of records of all time.
One of the influential bands of ALL time ...ask the likes of metallica and so on ...so underrated it s beyond belief..they should of been multi millionaires..seen em shit loads of times and got most of what they ever produced..wake up people you don't know what you missing...❤❤❤❤
Super muzyka! Takich wykonawców chce się słuchać. Zawsze Budgie było u mnie w czołówce. Niedoceniony, nie miał szczęścia przebicia się na szczyty a należy się! Mocny bardzo dobry stary HARD ROCK!❤❤❤
Koncert lata 80 te..piękne wrażenia ze spodka-zawsze ich lubiłem i tak zostanie już po pięćdziesiątce gusta się nie zmieniają,a to co w mediach nie da się strawić..Pozdrawiam.
Budgie are a no nonsense rock group . I’ve seen them twice in Australia. Budgie fans are selected . You notice not many people have heard of Budgie. I like that because i listen to the lyrics as the riffs interlocking in every song . That’s why Budgie will be timeless. VLB
Miałem 12 lat gdy byli w komunistycznej Polsce'82. Nie byłem ma koncercie. Natomiast mój wujek, mający całkiem nieźle stereo, puszczał mi Pink Floyd, King Crimson i Tą płytę Budgie. Do dziś jest w mojej trójce najważniejszych albumów wszechczasów. Dzisiaj mam 52 lata i nadal czuję zapach zimy, śniegu ,powietrza z tamtych lat, bo w takim okresie ją słuchałem, będąc w szpitalu ma żółtaczkę zimą 81. Czasy smutne, muzyka ponadczasowa. Kocham tą płytę. I już.
Bought this LP way back in November 1981, premium price here in Canada as it was a British import, easily the last great Budgie album and might just have the best, biggest sound quality of any album up to that point. Sonic perfection!
I saw these guys supporting Gillan at Sheffield city hall in 81, Gillan were shit, but I loved Budgie so much I went and bought Nightflight the very next morning, still one of my most prized albums.
And it will be on Friday 29th March 2019....tune in to hear Budgie and loads more great rock music, classic to current on my 'Raised On Rock' show broadcast live in the UK on 10Radio 105.3 FM and also available to stream live www.10Radio.org live from 8.00 pm UK time....check out my Raised On Rock page on facebook....cheers!😎
The early 80s had great music. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio era Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Rush, Belew/Levin era King Crimson, Zappa, more punk/ new wave stuff like Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, Devo, Dead Milkmen, even Alice Cooper went new wave during his coke fuelled early 80s. Lots of killer party soundtrack music.
@@markrago5024 When people talk shit about '80s' music they miss all those bands you just mentioned. I think those cheesy Casio synths and drum machines ruined a lot of music in the early 80s. But AC/DC had their mega selling LP Back in Black in 1980, and even Mutt Lange couldn't ruin it! Mutt Lange and Bob Rock (of Bon Jovi and Metallica fame) kinda ruined hard rock/metal for me, trying to score arena rock hits and smoothing over too many rough edges (and what's rock with some rough edges?)
They became a different band post Bourge. I've never been able to completely warm up to JT but I can appreciate it. Most underrated band of all time in my opinion.
Płaczę!!! Nie płacz, mówię sam do siebie. Proszę, taki jest bezwzględny ten świat. Płaczę, bo????? Śmierć zabiera, tak wspaniałych ludzi, z tego świata. Stwórco, jak możesz??? Pozbawiać, nas tak, takich genialnych ludzi???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nie możesz, tego zaprzestać, tej zbrodni!!???????
budgie jest nieziemskie, genialna super grupa wszechszasow, ta plyta jest bardzowazna dla kazdego polaka , i turned to stone zaczela sie moja milosc do budgie
Urodziłem się wczoraj Problemy wydawały się tak odległe Teraz wygląda na to, że moi przyjaciele już nie dzwonią Wszystko było wtedy lepsze Cały czas pamiętam, jak widziałem przyszłość z blaskiem pewności Więc zamieniłem się w kamień Skoro nauczyłem się wiedzieć Kiedy zamieniam się w kamień, Ukrywam, że czuję się całkiem samotny Wiele dni minęło mi na celebrowaniu słonecznego nieba A nadal wiem, że potrzebuję pomocnej dłoni A przyjaciele, których myślałem, że znam - Widzę, jak zmieniają każdy mój pogląd Chyba teraz widzę ich takich, jakimi są naprawdę Więc zamieniłem się w kamień Skoro nauczyłem się wiedzieć Kiedy zamieniam się w kamień, Ukrywam, że czuję się całkiem samotny Urodziłem się wczoraj Problemy wydawały się tak odległe
I've always been a huge fan of British rock/metal/prog and finally hearing Budgie has been a real joy for me this past year. I'm an American and I know we "invented" rock-'n'-roll but damn, you Brits perfected it!!! I love ALL the British invasions and NWOBHM is a particular favorite of mine. I used to think Saxon was Britain's (Wales) best kept secret, not anymore, Budgie rocks!!!!!!! Although I prefer the 70s prog records, with the crazy song titles, hilarious album covers, and 9 min songs with 50 movements per. I wonder why they never released an album called "Smugglers" 😁
Ah, great band Saw them in 1980 in Gloucester - power trio rocked the venue and sounded damn awesome This isn't quite the same style as earlier material, but still rocks and my ears/head still love it
Steven Fairclough Gillan AND Budgie! Nice. I was born in 81 so I just missed it.LOL . I did see Purple with Gillan and Morse in 2k5 at Pittsburgh Rib Fest. They did a great set. I've never seen Budgie but was lucky enough to see Sabbath, Motorhead, Maiden, Priest, and Dio at one time or another.
Two years on from your passing Burke, may you be at one with the heavens. Welsh rock band Budgie ❤
i met Budgie in Portsmouth on this tour & the drummer let me have a go on his drums & gave me his sticks,I will never forget it & I was only 15 & I'm 47 now & still listen
Awesome!!! do you still have the sticks?
no i lost them,but i do have the memories & have met & played with a few of my idols since
that's a very cool story
envy you!
Great memories
Budgie. There is nothing better. My funeral will have Budgie's catalog played beginning to end. You are all invited.
Well, I hope you live a very long life! 😀
I'll be there with bells on!! (unless I go before you, ha.)
i love his voice
Let me know when you go ! 😅

Most underrated band ever. Love Budgie . From Spain.
I love the band Budgie. Have listened to them for 50 years.
Yes, your not alone brother.
This has to be better than 90% of the crap thats out there now and this was done in 81
+Gerwyn Davies That's exactly how music works. It doesn't expire... It's good forever or bad forever.

Yes,so underated band,but so many bands had stealing riffs from budgie,iron maiden and many more,shame..
How good is John Thomas man, incredible player, amazing tone, another hero who doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Amen to that!
A fantastic album... really stands the test of time 👍🇬🇧✌️
RIP master Burke!
RIP Burke, Your songs and albums are some of the best music this man has ever listened too, "Troubles seemed so far away" 🙏
Just a fucking banger of an album. Best one I've heard, easy.
'keeping a rendezvous' was the only budgie single to appear in the UK charts. criminally underrated band.
It's a crime against the world, one might say

They really did themselves no favours by having such a silly name. Who is going to check out a band called "Budgie"? It's a shame.

Budgie is one of the finest. The proof's in the pudding.
Can a band's music change your life? Yes. Yes it can.

Fan sense the80s I'm 62 and can still feel the metal on the pedal go Mfers long live rock &roll
Been a fan since 1976 and I still love this band, always will!
I went CRAZY when I heard Turned to Stone for the first time...

Love the sound of the drums on this album, pure eargasm.
I found this album in a Record/Bookstore in Warsaw. It was framed and hanging high upon the wall. A testament to how great this album is.
Just discovered Budgie. Amazing

I was at Reading festival 1982, best show ever!

Superb classic album: this and Bandolier my Budgie faves.All the albums are good though.Long live Budgie.
I saw these guys supporting Gillan at Sheffield city hall in 81, Gillan were shit, but I loved Budgie so much I went and bought Nightflight the very next morning, still one of my most prized albums.

I discovered Budgie only about 2 months ago. How the hell did they managed to go unnoticed for me for 42 years? :O
Ja w 1982 mialem 14 lat i widzialem Budgie na zywo w Hali Ludowej we Wroclawiu. Cztery lata temu bylem na ich koncercie juz z moim synem.
Nie wiem jak teraz, ale za moich młodzieńczych lat Budgie było najbardziej popularne w Polsce. Super muzyka, bardzo mi się podoba.
teras tesz jest super ta muza jest na wieki
very rarely air drum....but when I do, its to "Turned To Stone". This evening I am having a Budgie night...and my arms are knackered already :)
one of the best and underrated rock bands ever.
This album in particular is a forgotten treasure of awsomeness.

This is one of the most epic rock songs ever.
Brill! Haven’t played/heard this for years. Our gang used to follow them around our Welsh valleys back in the day. Good memories. R.I.P buddy.
Moja ulubiona płyta Budgie, chociaż najlepszy ich kawałek wg mnie to Napoleon Bona Parts 1 &2
+th3rion86 ...i tu się z Tobą zgadzam. Napoleon rządzi :)
Argus is a great album \m/

yet another amazing album by budgie
Ooooh man... Listening to first track... I turned to stone.... OMG !!!!
Been a fan since 2015 thank god for that breadfan cover. love budgie
Great tone and atmosphere on this album, very underrated

Top 5 Budgie album
not just the music, but the album cover art is also pretty sick..... not many records had such cool cover back in early 80's
Same artist for the cover as iron maiden
Oh my god. I worship this lost band. One of the greatest ever without doubt. Why they aren't better know I will never know
Fantastic album should be a classic

This group reminds me quite a bit of Triumph from the same era.

Urodziłem się wczoraj
Problemy wydawały się tak odległe
Teraz wygląda na to, że moi przyjaciele już nie dzwonią
Wszystko było wtedy lepsze
Cały czas pamiętam,
jak widziałem przyszłość z blaskiem pewności
Więc zamieniłem się w kamień
Skoro nauczyłem się wiedzieć
Kiedy zamieniam się w kamień,
Ukrywam, że czuję się całkiem samotny
Wiele dni minęło mi
na celebrowaniu słonecznego nieba
A nadal wiem, że potrzebuję pomocnej dłoni
A przyjaciele, których myślałem, że znam -
Widzę, jak zmieniają każdy mój pogląd
Chyba teraz widzę ich takich, jakimi są naprawdę
Więc zamieniłem się w kamień
Skoro nauczyłem się wiedzieć
Kiedy zamieniam się w kamień,
Ukrywam, że czuję się całkiem samotny
Urodziłem się wczoraj
Problemy wydawały się tak odległe
I love being on my own, iV turned to stone,57, what I haven't had I don't miss, cheers to the north Wales
Seen Budgie in 81 at the whisky a go go. They Rocked.
saw them in Loughborough town hall on this tour and what a night it was ,
This great album sounds so fresh now in 2022.
great band great ALBM
La mejor . Budgie es eterno.
Ooooh man, while listening to the first track... I turned to stone.... blizzard of HEAVY STORM... OMG !!!
awesome band...so underrated...!
My first ever gig in 1981, I was 15, The Macrobert Centre at Stirling University.
Loved it
Finally you get to hear how great a singer Burke Shelley was, the production on the earlier albums had him way down in the mix for some reason.
Úžasná muzika, úžasní muzikanti. Kapela je na hudební scéně víc jak 50 let a jejich hudba patří mezi nejlepší hardrockové skupiny.
Very, very good music!.
i like how this guy has his copyright on lockdown, only for the love of the music. good job man
This and Never Turn Your Back on a Friend are my favorite Budgie albums.
and Bandolier.....too

I saw them in 1980, at the Manchester Apollo, where they were supporting Gillan. The other support act was Nightwing. Awesome.
I saw them at the Caird Hall in Dundee, in 1980, Budgie should have been the main act, great gig, Big John Thomas was a true guitar hero.
Steven Fairclough Gillan AND Budgie! Nice. I was born in 81 so I just missed it.LOL . I did see Purple with Gillan and Morse in 2k5 at Pittsburgh Rib Fest. They did a great set. I've never seen Budgie but was lucky enough to see Sabbath, Motorhead, Maiden, Priest, and Dio at one time or another.
eeeeeeee wow Yes Leeds Uni 81 remember Nightwing canny mind Budgie tho. jeez they supported some buggers when I copped em
Saw them in Liverpool on the same tour although I wasn't particularly a fan at the time.
