One of the greatest songs and bands of all time. Still finding people who haven’t ever heard of these guys. It’s my goal to expose everyone to this great band. RIP Burcke Shelley. A great influence and legacy.
Sorry about your dad but he had great taste in music. I’m glad you have good memories. I also have good memories of concerts with my late husband! Great times & great memories 😂
Budgie is another one of those bands that I just loved as a kid in the '70s. I grew up in San Antonio, Texas, where Budgie were as big as Led Zeppelin, Kiss or Black Sabbath. They were played on the local rock radio station constantly and were a huge concert draw. Oddly, I thought they were a massive multi-platinum band until I moved out of state for a while and discovered that no one had heard of them. These guys were just stellar!
@@Faks.09I don’t see a lot of metal bands who play like Tony iommi just the same power chords in every song same solo in the pentatonic scale Boring music
Fancy seeing you here...your channel has gotten me back into the heavier end of my music listening, which at one point was dominated by Agalloch. I got into Budgie back in the early 90s I think it was. Roadrunner re-released their first album if I recall correctly. Nostalgic listen for me....I listened to Led Zep 1 in my car today and it lead me to listening to Budgie tonight.
My theory for why these guys never made it big was because their frontman was a pasty-faced Welshman with Coke-bottle glasses and an octave too high voice. But fuck everybody else, we know how good they were! And I still might change my last name to Burke!
Alex Threadgill They were actually a really big deal back in the day, which is why you've got bands like Metallica and Van Halen, even Iron Maiden occasionally covering Budgie's material. Their staying power just wasn't all there, despite it being them and Judas Priest that helped lay the grounds and expand on the more 70's style of metal.
it might also be because bands like Zeppelin and Sabbath were reigning supreme in the rock industry at the time so there was a lot of established competition.
Timothy, 🤘🤘 You have great taste! I love all those bands too. The radio stations play the same songs repeatadly. Except for when Joe Anthony was on the air. Then we heard the whole album.🤘
This song is in my DNA.... its part of me!!......(as is the band) such a huge impact on my young teenager years. Its kills me they weren't better recognised, but in strange way that makes them even more special. Burke Shelley you and your musical vision is priceless. Thankyou, RESPECT!!
My twin brother and I actually had this album (Bandolier) when it came out back then and we used to walk around mouthing, Tudeh duh duh duh, duhduhduhduhduhduh, Tudeh duh duh duh, duhduhduhduhduhduh............ We had a Great collection back then. Wow, the memories!
First Budgie song I ever heard, at 13 years old, amazingly stoned on Panama Red. Everything about this piece of music was sublime. I've been a fan ever since
Budgie was my identity band in HS. A signature trait as I collected what ever they released when they were only available on import back in the early seventies.
I have friends to this day thanking me for playing Budgie at my many parties way back when. Everyone was asking for Stones, Zep, Aerosmith, which they got, but when I cued Budgie it was something fresh they'd never heard before. One of the greatest pure hard rock bands ever, and it's hard to believe they aren't more well known.
Step aside led Zep, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Iron Maiden & others...This 3 piece, unassuming talented trio from Wales are just the best. (for me). I wanna time machine to go back & meet them. Cosentino, Perth West Australia. 8/2/19 :)
Seems to me that one of their greatest attributes is that they dont record music that they cant duplicate live. The albums don't contain the dozens of overlays that most bands employ to fluff -up their music. It's left with that beautiful raw edge that sets these guys apart. All other bands that are unable to create the fullness exhibited by this three piece must yield the right of way.DOT!
This song in particular got a fair amount of airplay on Toronto rock radio in the 70's, it's what actually turned me onto the band. Good memories of scouring the import bins at Sam the Record Man's on Yonge St. for Budgie albums; it was the only way to find them.
Gods I remember when my brother bought this album home and I listened to it for quite a long time because I was a huge kiss freak but I have to tell you I've been listen to the song now for like 40 years one of the greatest songs ever
Innovators, barrier-breakers, Rockers PERSONIFIED!! No rip-off covers with Budgie. In honor of my brother Paul who turned me onto their music and many others like Legs Diamond, Moxy and Blackfoot. Beautiful legacy of sound for future generations.
Everyone keeps saying budgie was underrated budgie was and always will be rock and roll supergroup and by no stretch of the imagination where they underrated in fact budgie pioneered heavy metal rock and roll so to all you people who keep saying budgie was underrated you just didn't know your rock and roll.
i saw these live at my school's christmas dance in 1970. i'd just moved to Caerleon from England. that was a great evening, headbanging and kissing lots of girls
Imagine I was only seventeen & simply hooked to Budgie world of progresive rock and eventually into Rock music such as Black Sabbath, Grand Funk , Deep Purple, Judas Priest & many more... Budgie is simply priceless
2 years ago I lost my best friend in my whole world. She was always with me, wherever I’d go. Good-bye, Lolly Left Nostril…. they didn’t have to permanently sew you up like that …
Funny but i used to think they didnt exist. I can still remember going to gigs in 70s and hearing people shout. 2 words one was Wally and the other was Budgje.
Budgie was underground music for years. It was never played on the radio ever! Ah! The good old days! Ha! I used to get to hear the underground Albums from English imigrants that have just come to Australia,they would bring all the good stuff with them,otherwise I would never have heard of them and others like; The Doors,Lynard Skynard,Hawkwind,Dire Straits,etc...etc...
I loved these guys for years and people used to tell me, " who the f is Budgie?" I spent more time teaching who this band is to countless rock fans who never heard of them...
I remember, many years ago, before I married my ex-husband, I had the front cover of bandolier airbrushed on a t-shirt for him as a Valentine's Day present and it came out fucking amazing!
I was lucky enough to see them play live when they did a one-off in Cardiff with some other Welsh bands from the same era around 2000. “Re-Enter the Dragon” the event was called. Such an awesome live band. Tony Bourge’s guitar sound was heavier than James Hetfield’s.
One of the greatest songs and bands of all time. Still finding people who haven’t ever heard of these guys. It’s my goal to expose everyone to this great band. RIP Burcke Shelley. A great influence and legacy.
It's sad I never hear Budgie songs on my local radio stations.??????????????
I lost my father a couple weeks ago and this was one of his favorite songs ever ❤🙏❤ my childhood was filled with this song and many like it. ❤🙏❤
Your Father raised you well young man may he R.I.P.
Sorry about your dad but he had great taste in music.
I’m glad you have good memories. I also have good memories of concerts with my late husband!
Great times & great memories 😂
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Your Dad had good taste in music. 🎶🐦🎶😉👌
Your dad was awesome! He is at peace…
Sorry. Bro
I saw Budgie,Moxy,and AC\DC in 1976...San Antonio,Texas,AC\DC opened LOL!!!
Rocknroll in the 2 1 O😊
Old school SA metal here...RIP Joe Anthony.
Wow😮😮😮

Chris Damon I'm from San Antonio and I was lucky to see them three times great freakingband true rock
saw them in corpus Christi .....mid 70s at the Ritz theater ......awesome !!
Your DJ's obviously knew what they were doing there!
Yep, late 70s was the Best time for concerts in SA, also cheap enough to be able to attend on a high schooler's allowance!
@@mikej7475, I have read that The Rods were well received in your area too.
The stunning Iron Maiden cover of this brought me here.
Now it's time to hear only 3 guys play it, and even better
That tone at the beginning of the song should be bottled and preserved for future generations!
Bands like Budgie, Rush and Led Zeppelin laid down the foundation of heavy metal and rock music for generations! These guys are the fathers of it!
You just can't forget about Black Sabbath 😉
@@Faks.09I don’t see a lot of metal bands who play like Tony iommi just the same power chords in every song same solo in the pentatonic scale Boring music
@@aceruiz8151 🫡
Along with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep
I think this is my favorite song on Bandolier. I've always thought this was one of the finest Budgie releases.

Hell yeah man, agreed!
I have 4 different versions of this on vinyl and two tee shirts.........this album IS Budgie!
Thanks Burke & RIP man.
Budgie is one of the best 70s Metal bands ever 🎸🎸🎸🎸
It baffles me why this band never went stratospheric. Not many out there to even touch them.
My theory for why these guys never made it big was because their frontman was a pasty-faced Welshman with Coke-bottle glasses and an octave too high voice. But fuck everybody else, we know how good they were! And I still might change my last name to Burke!
mushthefirst Insert Canadian instead of Welsh and you've got Geddy Lee!
shockedthemonkey I've heard that comparison made quite often. I wish Budgie had half the recognition Rush has. They were first, after all : )
Alex Threadgill They were actually a really big deal back in the day, which is why you've got bands like Metallica and Van Halen, even Iron Maiden occasionally covering Budgie's material. Their staying power just wasn't all there, despite it being them and Judas Priest that helped lay the grounds and expand on the more 70's style of metal.

San Antonio Texas loves Budgie
I saw them several times at Sunken Gardens along with many other San Antonio faves Good times.
Delhi also loves budgie
I’m such a huge fan of Budgie, but I wasn’t fortunate enough to see them live
Unbeliavable groove... Thankfull for all your great music that you left behind Shelley Burke!
Brings back many memories. The heaviest of days. Budgie, Scorpions, UFO, Priest, Maiden, Tygers, Saxon, Riot, Dio!!!!!
Timothy, 🤘🤘 You have great taste!
I love all those bands too.
The radio stations play the same songs repeatadly.
Except for when Joe Anthony was on the air.
Then we heard the whole album.🤘

The bass line in the middle section is one of the best funky riffs ever written by a rock band.
It’s very like Spinal Tap Big Bottom.
I agree, it now reminds me of how great the 70's were.

First time hearing Budgie. I'm hooked.
You must hear their song..."Zoom Club" and or "Napoleon Bonaparte 1 & 2"
Haha, well by now I am sure you have...your comment is 10 years old....😆😂🤣🤣
That bass tickles me in pleasant places
Heavy metal from the past .... !!! This is heavy metal, real heavy metal.
First Budgie song I ever heard, at 13 years old, amazingly stoned on Panama Red.
Everything about this piece of music was sublime. I've been a fan ever since
I think this may be my favorite band ever.
there was a time when Judas Priest opened for Budgie...
I saw budgie at Birmingham town hall England when Priest supported them. in the early 70's
@@neilpage8577 That's super cool. What do you remember from the Priest set?
Top of the bill at Reading Festival 82
Yes! I have heard this and now it's confirmed. Awesome, love me some Budgief!
✴️TRUE DAT✴️
Great Budgie Masterpiece...
Thats one hell of an album cover
Best bass riff ever, Burke just keeps on rolling!
Check out Wishbone Ash- Argus ( Sometime World )...Martin Turner has an epic bass riff.
Great Band with a lot amazing riffs
Gotta love those warm basslines!
Vaya discazo y vaya recuerdos que me trae!

Actually I got them from someone else too. He put on "tire fitter" and that's all it took.

This was as heavy as it got before the punk wave. I love it.
I've always loved this song and the album,"Bandolier".
Never Saw ‘Em - Played their records endlessly - KVAN Favorite
Fantastic groove in this song, such an underrated band.
Step aside led Zep, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Iron Maiden & others...This 3 piece, unassuming talented trio from Wales are just the best. (for me). I wanna time machine to go back & meet them. Cosentino, Perth West Australia. 8/2/19 :)
As good today as it was then .. Amazingly Fantastic !!.

I’ve been listening to them since the mid 70’s very underrated band but excellent the sound of 3 impeccable guys.
I think you mean...3 impecKable guys!
Totally original. I’ve always loved this song!
You gotta love the bass on this song Burke rocks...✌👽
Love that crunchy riff.
Burke Shelly in my opinion is one of the best bassist. The band is excellent !
Dear "Budgie" from the first time to my the end. How can't love the trio?! How ever awesome, how ever super!
I dont need to hear much of a Budgie song before I click 'Like'. First time I have heard this one and I think I clicked like at about 30 seconds in.
This song in particular got a fair amount of airplay on Toronto rock radio in the 70's, it's what actually turned me onto the band. Good memories of scouring the import bins at Sam the Record Man's on Yonge St. for Budgie albums; it was the only way to find them.
Timeless Budgie summed up in this track
I remember when this came out, and i bought the album,to take a step back when guitars ruled the world ,what a trip man
I know exactly what you mean man been a guitarist all my life Peace
Yeah budgie rips
Great riff!!!!!
Gods I remember when my brother bought this album home and I listened to it for quite a long time because I was a huge kiss freak but I have to tell you I've been listen to the song now for like 40 years one of the greatest songs ever

I'd give anything to see these guys in concert, these guys and Rush.
I always thought this song should've been a chart hit for them..got the cowbell going and everything..
For those who care, it's not music bans all feeling, it's music spans all feelings. Why would music ban all feeling? Music is born of feelings.
Man I love that feeling.
Uff... !Excellent¡ Budgie. 🎸🏆👍🎶
Budgie is my fave band... Love this song
Love early Budgie such amazing musicians and the bass is always heard not buried . Burke Geddy Gillan coverdale Dio. NO AUTO TUNE ...SHEEP
My favorite song by them. Whenever I listen to this song it makes me think of my family in Montreal Canada!!!!
fukin rocked my ass off to this in middle school...top 10 albums on my list.
just got this on vinyl :D
More cowbell please, 😂 love these guys.

Saw em twice back in the late 70s!!!

Red Rooster Very nice Full Álbum a Long the times.. Good...
True rockers and good musicians too -
I think I first bought the album on cassette, then CD... but always been a fan...
This makes me want to dance
Through their sixth album many of there songs had 4,5,6 and even seven different parts to them which is very unique at that time.
Indeed
👍☮️
Esta canción es una Obra de Arte
I loved these guys for years and people used to tell me, " who the f is Budgie?" I spent more time teaching who this band is to countless rock fans who never heard of them...
Same here.
They still thank me 50 years later

The best of the best ...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
wow! great song, nice guitar Riff . Fantastic Bass Line after 1:25 etc.
genial
I have see Budgie live 1977 in Berlin in the Disco Sound and I have make the lighting for this concert, it's so great
So glad I got turned on to this group (1998). Better late than never. I was into Nugent in the 70's and sadly.......I didnt care about much else.
Absolute classic!! 👍♠️🏴❤ Iron Maiden covered this and released it as the b side to From Here To Eternity!!
I still have this album. I lost the cassette never did see it on cd till the 2000’s.
I absolutely love this fucking band
The one and only Burke Shelley died last evening in the age of 71 ! R.I.P. Burke !!!!
I remember, many years ago, before I married my ex-husband, I had the front cover of bandolier airbrushed on a t-shirt for him as a Valentine's Day present and it came out fucking amazing!
I can tell that Van Halen got a lot of inspiration of Budgie when they wrote Somebody Get Me a Doctor...
KISS/KMAC! San Antonio ROCKS!
