this band should have been as popular as Sabbath, Rush, Zepplin, all the great seventies bands. maybe they were to lots of people, but in a worldwide sense, you don't hear Budgie in the same breath as those bands, but they were every bit as awesome.
Highly underrated band. Listened to them from their very first album and have their first 6. They should have been famous world wide. Not sure what stopped them.
I got into Budgie bc of Brütal Legend. As soon as I heard them, I was hooked and went so far as to back-order two of their albums through a local record shop bc I couldn't find them anywhere else. When my dad took me to go pick them up he was so shocked that I even knew who Budgie was. It was one of those rare moments where we really bonded over mutual intrest and since then he's gifted me several of his old Budgie vinyl records he had when he was a young man. I love them so much and I love that we share such a deep love for music and the power it has to bring people together.
It's ridiculous this band was not promoted in the US, if it weren't for Metallica and Jim Florentine I'd have never known about them. This song in particular is one of the greatest prog rock songs ever. Thank you Budgie! AKA: The Welsh Rush!!!!
RIP Burke Shelley, not all geniuses are recognised in their lifetime. One of many truly epic Budgie tracks (and the name of my first band) I was privileged to meet Tony Bourge several times in the 80's and saw one of Budgie's last gigs about 12 years ago. The first five albums are amongst the best rock albums ever and compare with anyone.
is it just me, or is budgie truely timeless? like led zeppelin? iv developed such an immense apprieciation for this band, and when i show it to my friends, they're like "they're pretty good" i say BULLSHIT they are one of the most diverse rock bands ever.
It's like they say "Budgie are the most underestimated band ever'' & we go "NOT BY THOSE WEHO KNOW BUDGIE IT ISN'T" LOL ZOOMING IN THE CLUB RIGHT NOW YAH!~~~ ZOOM ON THE DAY I DIE? YES INDEED!~ 1
Yes they were. No one can do it. Im from Sweden. 1974 I heard them. Love them since that. Its just like a swedish band, Neon Rose. No one can do it again. No offence. About compare with another band. But, if you want, youtube, and listen to a band Neon Rose, early 70th.
They never did and they never will but I love em. Friend of mine who was a rock star listened to this album with me. Afterward he said they were a piece of shit. I got up and left very pissed off.
Bought the first Budgie album while I was in high school and have been a lifelong fan. Heartening to see how many others are equally as enthused. Budgie Flies Forever!!
Back in the day. My mates and I would light up a big one, put this on the turntable and wait for the fireworks. Crank this fucker up. This is up there with any Sabs song.
@@anypoxynames.. I'm listening to this as of now.. Covid 19.. 6 creamy pints from cans into a pint glass.. A bottle of Kilbeggan just finished.. And so a starter on a bottle of Teeling.. And fuck the neighbours.
Such a splendid band - I feel so privileged to have seen them live a few times. Back home - wait for everyone to go out .. then turn up the volume ... life affirming stuff.
Such a catchy song from an extremely underrated band! More people need to listen to these guys. The mix of heavy metal and hard rock is absolutely great!!!
First album I bought after starting work at 16 in74, only bought it because of the cover, never heard their music before. Probably the best album I've ever bought, still gives me goosebumps. 😊👍
Check out Australia’s answer to Black Sabbath, Heavy Rock band of the early 70’s called Buffalo 3 Albums, Dead Forever, Volcanic Rock and We Only Want You For Your Body
I got this album approx. in 1976, and love it, my favourite Budgie album I bought when was living in communistic country for quite a bit of money. Still have in my property.
A pretty awesome listening experience. Wow! I was still a kid in the 70s, but lately, I have opted to listen to not-so-popular bands of the 70s and this song tops them all. Man, it's good!
Yeah man - I worked in a record store then and this was only available on vinyl as an import. I liked it and later a band called RUSH reminded me of them.
right, today's music is definitely sounds too inaccurate and the sound is horrible, they say though that this is the quality we were longing for, but, man, no, this reminds me a microscope technology, do you need to make photos with it? no. same thing with the audio Peace
First band ever saw live in 1973 with Judas Priest as support. Both bands played on the same stage for the encore. This is the best track from their 4th album, a heavy rock tour de force. Have a great live version from 1975 somewhere. Will have to dig it out sometime.
It was here in S.A. Tx. Along with Moxy , Frank Moreno and Mahogany Rush , Yesterday & Today( aka Y&T) , Rush, Triumph, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, and let's not forget DAVID BOWIE( R.I.P.) ,Queen, The Preist( Judas Priest), & so on. Great ROCK and ROLL!!!
First time I heard Zoom was in early 70's on an Underground Radio Station in West Palm Beach FL. Went out the next day and found the album. Very underrated rock group. Certainly in the race with bands like Deep Purple, etc.
Budgie - Anytime...everywere...forever. Great Band and those years. I was born in 1962 in eastern side of Iron Courtine. Thanks of some radio stations we had a chance know good rock music. Budgie was and still is very popular in my Country.
Robert Szymani - I'm a UK 1961's baby and with 3 older brothers who always had them playing somewhere so grew up with Budgie. 50 years later, I'm still listening to them. They never seem to get old unlike a lot of other, so called, "more popular" bands.
I was born in 1980, first time heard of them thanks to Metallica. And... internet. I love them ever since! And yes, I've discovered they were/are very popular in our country :) cheers
Wish there were more bands like this around now. Van Halen covered "In for the kill" when they were still playing high school gigs. They knew back then just how good this band was.
only by 3 years. Priest catched up (but had sisues with their label for not incl. the ripper and victim of changes and tyrant for rocka rolla 74. They did play those songs live in 74-75 before sad wings was even out.
Their greatest, most swaggering track, in my humble opinion. I know people will disagree, but it has everything Budgie had to offer, from Tony's lead to Burke;s rhythm. Rock at its best.
I'm a led zep fan through and through !!!. But now I'm a Budgie fan through and through ! How did these guys dip under the Greatest Rock Radar .British Rock wow we have to be proud of this band they are awesome.!!!!!
At my 20th birthday me and a friend of mine went for a car ride (smoking some pot) and he put this song on maximum volume. I remember this day as it was yesterday. One of the greatest rock songs EVER!

Thats why we are listening right now , It is a sad day but we are the people who know good music when we hear it rock on fellow budgie fan
NEVER! Here in Poland we love Budgie! Why this band and its music hadn't been as popular as other bands those days?
Criminally underrated band
In a way I prefer it like that, it's our secret weapon!
@@CS-zj8ex Well said
Criminally - very very correct ;-) A Dios from Poland ;-)
Not in Poland 😊
I literally just said that to my girl. It should be a crime that Budgie is so under appreciated

Budgie is another high-caliber hard-rock band! :-D
2018 and I still tell people how great a sound Budgie is!
I was just telling some young guys the other day that Metallica didn't write Breadfan. They were amazed.
Highly underrated band. Listened to them from their very first album and have their first 6. They should have been famous world wide. Not sure what stopped them.
@@andrearitchie6464 Very liked in Poland, in '70 and '80 almost the same as sabs or zeps.

Better than Zep. Bourge had more versatility than Page.
I don't think Budgie is diverse but they rock like 10000 MFs

I only know of three musical artists from Wales. Budgie is the one that matters most.
Well Burke has left for the Zoom Club ,great tune always loved this band raw and honest
Easily one of the best rock bands on the planet 70's n 80's.
If yr tuning in now ...well done
Such a splendid band - I feel so privileged to have seen them live a few times. Back home - wait for everyone to go out .. then turn up the volume ... life affirming stuff.
Gotta be one of my favorite bands of all time...✌👽👍👍👍 Glad to see there's more budgie fans out there....😁
More and more added daily because of TH-cam. Been a fan since 1978.
If it wasn't for this song there wouldn't be half of Gaskins earliest riffs. Totally inspired me. R.I.P. Burke ❤

Blows my mind how budgie isn't as big as zeppelin sabbath rush..
I used to own every single Budgie album. Love this band! There will never be anyone that quite compares.
Ten minutes of rock brilliance ! Budgie still rock and ,for me , always will !!
This song is insane...Tony Brouges Riff an solo are sick...Bass funk Metal....hell yahh!!
Deliciously lethal in the best possible way !!! Awesome band, love the way Tony´s guitar screams. . . It just doesn´t get better than this. . .
Wow Budgie are wicked. Another blast from the past.
A pretty awesome listening experience. Wow! I was still a kid in the 70s, but lately, I have opted to listen to not-so-popular bands of the 70s and this song tops them all. Man, it's good!
My favorite song
Its so alone in "hard rock". My favorite too.
Mine too !! I have vivid memories of bouncing off the walls of my bedroom, to this masterpiece!!
This might be the greatest rock song in history.
1974....and better production than the over compressed digital shite that gets churned out today. Budgie rocked.
Yeah man - I worked in a record store then and this was only available on vinyl as an import. I liked it and later a band called RUSH reminded me of them.

Absolutely...
One of my favourite Budgie tracks. This band always had that hard, rough edge to them.
One of the best band in Rock n roll thanks budgie
Should be 300m and not 300k who have watched this. The more you listen to it the more you realise just how good it is.
some people think 10 minute song are a burden. I think they're an adventure.
If you can't do it for 10 minutes, you can't do it.
This song lasted longer than my marriage 😉
Ikr that’s todays generation and I’m from that generation unfortunately
That riff still gives me goose bumps!
This is why I'm still cool today
This is why I have been cool since 1971
✌️✌️😊👍✌️
I've been cool since 1978!!
This is why we will always be cool. . . Hell yeah. . .
wow such a insane riff in 1974? mindblowing
Zoom Club forever. . . This is GIANT. . .
Classic hard rock at it’s best 💜
First band ever saw live in 1973 with Judas Priest as support. Both bands played on the same stage for the encore. This is the best track from their 4th album, a heavy rock tour de force. Have a great live version from 1975 somewhere. Will have to dig it out sometime.
You can actually find on youtube them playing Running From My Soul with Judas Priest live, it’s amazing
RIP Burke
Robert Plant. “If we’d have toured with Budgie, we could well have been done for”.
Just too good for words. Insane. Shame on the music industry for denying their fame. 🤘🏽🎸🎸🤘🏽
What part of reality chokes you?
Hall of double Fame.....
They have us. They are growing in popularity slowly but surely. Will be legendary status by the end of the decade.
Best damn band most people never heard of!...should have been up there!!!!

So, 'cause YOU'VE never heard of them before, no one has?
Fucktard
tony bourge too me same calber as iommi . very serious guitarist.! made some fantastis songs
First concert was Budgie in 1975. Totally blown away. Loved them. Still don't know how they were so underrated. Great dogs. Tight as ...
In 74 these guys were only found in the import bins!
The new wave of British heavy metal bands that came along in the late 70's, like Saxon, didn't reinvent the wheel, they just copied Budgie.
Every band of NWOBHM copied Budgie, UFO and Sabbath.
You got that damn right, brother.
And priest
and Deep Purple
They didn't need to reinvent the wheel. They already had wheels of steel.
First time I heard Zoom was in early 70's on an Underground Radio Station in West Palm Beach FL. Went out the next day and found the album. Very underrated rock group. Certainly in the race with bands like Deep Purple, etc.
I just dig Budgie. I love how they portray budgies as a top Alfa predator on their cover
Believe it not those birds on their covers are not budgies, they’re some sort of raptor, bird of prey !!
