Martin Turner's bass is like THIRD lead guitar. How does he do that???
Cos, He's a MONSTER..
4 Sure The Bass is something else
I bought the album in 1978 ,for 550 drahmas from a music shop in Athens Greece.What a briliant album, still sounds so fresh and unique after so many years.I am 59 years old and the LP still Rocking !!!
Από το blow up?
@@charalampostseronis6500 Φίλε αν θυμάμαι Melody corner or Music corner. Ήταν επί Πανεπιστημίου κ κατεβενα μερικά σκαλοπάτια για να μπω. Δεν νομίζω ότι υπάρχει πια.
Your English is great.
I am 64 years old now and first hear this album in my mid teens....loved it then and still do. I am going to watch them this weekend in Fife Scotland....or at least one of the original line up with his band!
Argus = Αργος...
I got this LP in 1972 ,AND I STILL HAVE IT .IWAS 17 NOW 70 YEAR OLD IT FXXKING AMAZING ♥️🕊
I,m 63 and this is the first time I heard this, I,m floored at how freaking good this is, what a song! 🥰
Play it loud......👍😎
Playing it loud at least a couple of times a day, can't believe I never heard anything by these guys before this, to me they're as good as any classic rock band from the 70,s 😁
@@MultiCowboy8at least you know them now . Enjoy , atb from Scotland 🏴
Fantastic debut album , thy never reached the heights that they should have.
Sorry you didn’t hear it earlier in life , it is magnificent ! I am 64 , think I heard it in 75-76 the first time
Is anyone reading this in 2023? Argus is in my opinion one of the best rock albums of all time with absolutely stunning guitar performances.🏴🏴🏴🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🎸🎸🎸☮️☮️☮️
Me!
Hell yes. Playing air guitar here and thinking this may be one of the greatest tracks ever.
Yep , one of my all time favourites , along with the yes album , and taab and pp by jethro Tull
A record that defies time. A total, complete masterpiece. Bought it in 72 because I liked the cover. Have played it continously since. Four of the greatest musicians of all time.
Me too! Bought it ONLY because I liked the cover with the Warrior & UFO, lol. Had never heard of the band as a little 12 year-old Canadian kid. This still remains as my favourite album of all-time! And I finally saw the current edition of the band live in Michigan & Buffalo NY in the fall of 2017. Andy Powell is still brilliant of course, & newcomer Mark Abrahams on guitar is an unreal talent! They boys in the band all signed my album covers so life is good!
I Love this piece of music..
I've loved their music since the first time I ever heard Blind Eye
@@chetcouture2578 Yep, still got mine. They used to drink in my old local
I’ve been listening since 72 as well. So underrated
Cannot believe I've never heard of this band. I'm 27 years old and was brought here by a Dark Souls (computer game) music video. Just listened to all of the album Argus and gotta say Wishbone Ash are incredible.
Good for you it's ,never too late to appreciate great music, I was lucky enough to see them live many times, always superb .
He's 34 now
Thank you I’m actually friends with Andy Martin and Ted I see them regularly you must go to a show soon you will be blown and I mean blown away peace
For curiosity's sake, what was the name of the Dark Souls music video?
@topple Thanks. That's a pretty old video
Nothing like a leading bass guitar to get the dopamine and endorphins flowing.
What a superior piece of music.
Yes absolutely
it this where Steve Harris decided to be a bass player?
@@davidebasile9422 I wouldn't be surprised 🥰 He has mentioned the duelling guitars being a huge influence on Maiden
I love you man,you and your state of mind🍻🍻
One of the greatest bass lines ever to be played in rock music. What a great sound he gets with that Gibson Firebird. Stunning work by Mr Turner.
It's actually a Fender bass he used to record on this. It was stolen, and he reckoned nothing ever 'growled' like that guitar.
For what it’s worth that’s a Thunderbird. Firebird is the 6 string guitar version.
THE best bass line ever...
And it's a gibson thunderbird bass. And marty uses a pic. Just so you know brother. 😊
@@zedheadful I stand corrected! Thanks zedheadful.
@@nickwells5567 gibson thunderbird amigo. Not a p bass.
The twin guitars weaving in and out of that killer bassline in the second half is just sublime.
And here i am 66 years old. Saw them LAST NIGHT! Man did the memories come pouring back in. I was raised playing this stuff in bands long gone now. I actually cried when they played this song. Keep doin it guys!
After 40 yrs ah?
Yep,Argus is surely in the top 10 of the most important classic rock albums of all times.
Argus is a true masterpiece!
100% agree miguel!
Right there
Only track that lets it down ever so slightly is "Warrior" which is just a bit too sing-a-long for me
Yep, top bollock in all aspects.
My sister Cindy bought me 1st album and I bought 2 more
Just one of the best songs ever, from one of the best bands ever
The most underrated band of all time
I'm agree ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Don't know about best bands, but one of the best albums ever, been playing regularly for 50 yrs
AAGREE
The band were touched by genius when they made this album.
I met a man who felt the same way
That the world had passed him by
Told to me all his troubles
That the world had made him cry
Life had kept him waiting
Regretting his pain inside
Had to feel underrated
And hated, besides
Life had kept him waiting
Regretting his shame inside
Had to feel underrated
And hated, besides
Sometime world, pass me by again
Carry you, carry me, away
ΑΝΤΙ' cheers good man, much appreciated
👍👽
Da da da da da da da da da da dun da da da da dun da daaaa
The True Blues
This song starts nihilist and ends existentialist.
I was 19 when my older brother Walid playing this album ... what difficult and nice days in Libya that time :-|
Songs like this remind me of simpler times with a single joint and free mind of no worries and freedom to remind me of the progressive music of the day.
3 joint minimal.
😃
@@johnthonig8832 You're god damn right, my man!
This sounds good on ash
Ted Turner's lead guitar solo at the beginning of this song is one of my all-time favs. Pure feeling in every note.
The 2nd solo of the song played by Andy Powell is still one of the best ever, 40+ years after it was recorded.
dgrichmondbc Agree entirely. 5* class.
still one of the greatist guitar solos andy and ted were brilliant together
Sooooo truuuuee!
Absolutely!
Totally agree
Steve Upton is a brilliant drummer
The finest guitar solo that has ever, ever been recorded
I rarely heard anything better than Turner and Powell.
Absolute top drawer this band.
I've got to agree, simply mind boggling
Goosebumps
it's pretty close, but I still like Buck Dharma on the ETL version of "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" or Mark Knopfler's extended masterpiece in the Alchemy recording of Sultans of Swing. This is a pretty incredible, effervescent thing though, and I always thrill to hear it.
During the seventies I would probably have agreed with you, however the intervening years have brought some real gems with them and there are now solos that I rate more highly, even though I still love listening to this song even now. Whilst being very melodic, the guitar work in Sometime World doesn't really present any real technical difficulties, unlike say, Gary Moore's live cover of "The Messiah will Rise Again" or Mark Knopfler's live solos in "Tunnel of Love" and "Sultan's of Swing" from Alchemy, to name but three. Overall though, Argus is a wonderful album, and it's a shame it doesn't really get the kudos it deserves.
2 year's before my birth. My dad had great taste xx
Sweet Jesus! What! a riff!
I saw Wishbone Ash play last night, the last time was 50 years ago. Absolutely Amazing.
Pure gold...
This album has been a massive part of my life, can't thank you enough. Picks me up when i feel down. Andy, Martin, Ted & Steve Cheers guys !
Throw down the sword, Leaf and stream, sometime world, nuff said. Absolutely brilliant.
James Webb .... ahem ...er King will come as well
YES!!!!!!👍
Argus? One word: CLASSIC.
One of the most beatiful rock songs ever...
The most underrated song, from the most underrated album, from the most underrated band. Should have been Massive, still are in my Kitchen 🤘
I couldn't agree with you more Grant☮️🇺🇲🏴🏴👍😄🎸
I will take an underrated shower after I ate my underrated dinner
I bought it today at a used record store because the art looked interesting as well!! Only now have I realized how awesome this music is
Which came first? The chicken, or the egg?
Best I ever heard. Truly masterpiece.
have loved this for almost 50 years best album ever
This remains the greatest bassline ever recorded, Martin Turner just slaying it all over to the point you barely even pay attention to the guitar soloing.
This music reaches in and soothes my very tired, battered soul. It helps
somewhat to bring good memories back and ease the pain of what I'm
going through right now. God Bess you all - X0
Wonderful track. I loved it right from the start., when I bought Argus, my first Wishbone Ash LP, back in 1984. I was 18. I onticed how it was somewhat similar to Time Was, in that it started as a ballad, but evolved in a rockier track, with a reasonably fast tempo. The first section is just beautiful but the fast section is also wonderful because it flows naturally, with a lush sound and some great guitar solos... All this sounds typically British, and classy. Classy rock, indeed. But so much more than rock, the folk elements are prominent, almost everywhere. They should have kept this musical direction. The fusion of folk and rock/nlues with a very special lush clean sound, still with some reasonably aggressive but sharp guitar duels was great ! and Martin turner had a splendid sound on bass guitar, he played melodic lines as well. They needed a great lead singer but they hadn't one, they did well with the vocal harmonies, the unison singing...Martin Birch's production is just excellent ! It's a real ity they never worked with him again, he xoul dhave helped thme to beocme more successful.
Had the pleasure of seeing them live several times in the 70's and now I see a 50 year Argus anniversary tour? Bring it!
Same here👍
The Monster Thing is that . All Instruments and singing comes together in that Song Close by perfect . One of the best Guitar Solos ever had a meeting with a Bassline Out of Order . 👍🎸🎸 great one 👍
Wishbone Ash and Camel in concert 1974 was one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
Seen Wishbone Ash 3 times Camel 4 Times two of my favourite bands
Mike, a quick story... Back in '74 as a young college freshman, I'd heard through the grapevine that the student entertainment group at our school was booking Camel/Ash for the first concert of the year. Since I was a BIG Ash fan, I wrote out a check for $28 for four tickets ($7 each) and sent it in. I got a call a few weeks later asking me where I'd like my seats. I learned that tickets were on a first come, first served basis. I asked what my options were. He said, "Well, you're the first so I assume you'd like front row in the center?" I replied that would be fine. I took my roomy Stan Stearns from the south side of Chicago, and we proudly walked down the center aisle with our dates to the front row and enjoyed a GREAT show. Ash played most of ARGUS. Camel opened and I didn't really know them but they were great as well. My first and only front row center concert experience. @@mikelee3067
I've grown up on this and I'm forty eight. Outstanding!
The greatest ever English folk /blues rock / prog rock of all time.
WHAT a song and what brilliant solos, esp the 2nd one where Andy comes in from nowhere with that beautiful fluid series of notes. Very special.
I was in my third year at school when I firstgot into Wishbone an only in the last decade did I see both bands led by Matin and Andy🏴🏴😎😎☮️👍🎸
Ive been very lucky that Andy Powell's band have played on countless times in Gteater Manchestet.🎸🎸🎸🎸🏴🏴🏴👍👍👍☮️☮️☮️☮️
I had just come back to the World from Vietnam. My brother had set up the huge PACEX stereo in our 12'x24' kids' room.
He dropped the first album and then this one on my Sansui, powered it through four-channels of the Pioneer and out four onmidirectional speakers ... I am back there again. Welcome home, brother!
1972?!
This may have well, been recorded last week.
Argus. A solid gold masterpiece.
It's a tough call but Sometime World is the track I would take with me when I go. The others are great too, often with a medieval quality that defines them (I wonder how Warrior would sound on a lute).
Argus: a favourite from the day I bought it until the day I die.
This piece of paradise is now almost 50 years old.
Indeed 50 years old , what a stunning song ‘album
Martin Turner's Bass playing really shines here. (thanks to that unique rickenbacker tone)
It was a rare Ric, had a 35" scale. Martin told me it was stolen when I saw his band play with Nektar.
Lemmy
The bassline on this track inspired me to play bass. Whole album a masterpiece.
That's a Gibson Thunderbird...
@@Jpeterson7 I asked Roye if I could buy him a drink between sets and he said "no im wearing someone else's liver" lol RIP.
AFTER 50 YEARS THE SAME SOUND! IMMORTAL! ROCK CAN NEVER DIE! THANKS AGAIN FOR ONE MORE TIME!
A masterpiece , 30 years ahead of time... only a few were able to feel the reach...
I'm 34 now them and yes and todd rundgren have always been 3 of my dads favorite bands I grew up on this shit but even if I hadnt u was just now discovering them I'd still love them all the same. This is by farvmy favorite song of theirs I can relate so heavily I just want to be able to carry me and my son out of this toxic abusive emotionally, developmentally and damaging environment in which we live due to my long battle since 6 years old with my physical health and now mu mental health from years of trauma and having no choice but to be back here with more physical pain than anyone should ever know and a covert narcissistic mother and angry fathers abuse and attacks on my mental health. I get why my dad used to play this song and why hes so angry my mothers can be a comlete soul breaker "had to feel underrated and hated besides" on top of al my physical health issues I have to constantly be reminded of what a burden and a lemon I am. I've been doing a lot better lately after getting some pain medicine back and bending over backwards forward and side to side trying to be better be enough measure up "be a good girl" be everything they want and my mom cursed me and it me back down "in my place" last night saying it didnt matter how hard I tried or how much i ever did that I'll always be a burden not the worse thing shes ever said but when I'm trying so damn hard to be able to get physically healthy, do more, contribute more I'm just stifled back to a very dark suicidal place last night and this morning. I wish like hel I was healthy enough to carry me and my son away and locate the world that's passed me by all these years
this album is class,bands of today hang your heads in shame.This is how music should sound
My friend, you got it, short sweet and to the point. the music today has not the character of this.
This old is better than gold .🌹🦋
Favorite track off this record.. great song.
Bassline and its sound in the second half. It's an orchestra on its own!
Absolutely!!!
Martin Turner makes this recording brilliant!
The Diamond in the ruff Album for Wishbone Ash 1972 Deserves of lifetime of listening! This album had to be Divine Intervention!
This was one of those albums that you saw in the record store that left you wondering...what's in there? Great cover, but no clue of what music lay within. Could have been...opera. So put on my grown up pants 👖 and bought it! Inside was years of air-guitar! And a life long friend of an album! Cover is still cool 😎
WOW! What an Underrated Band! This stands un to YES Starship Trooper, Roundabout or Short Distance Anytime! This Beats MOST of YES!!
Proud to admit this was the first album I ever owned, bought second hand from a butcher at the Bishops super market where we both worked, me as a 15 year old shoplad.
Think I gave him 30 bob, happy days in 1972 !
The Bass is brutal!!! Wow,what a song...
Still one of the *BEST* guitar solos a kid or adult can try to pick out & emulate.
I still got the Album " Argus " one of my top fav. and why? maybe b-cause I´m 73 yo and still have records and 2 turntables ( Record-players ) 😄
Damn it's unbelievable how good this song is
Total masterpiece !
A true Masterpiece, music for the ages
Martin Turner's bass line ? Good ? Yes I thought so too
It's the reason I play bass now.
Omfg i just love this song, the vocalist, the band. I was 14 yrs old whn my 16 yr old brother played this band full blast along with fkn Humble Pie, black sabbath, uriah heep, deep purple etc, it now 2020 with Covid19 in Nz and im srill loving this music 😁
Covid is BS
this album is sacred
one of those songs when I play in car I turn the volume knob up all way -- wait a minute the whole freakin album gets same treatment
Thats because you know what great music sounds like 👍
@@ketchup5344 If we're listening to Argus we all know what great music truly is. The sounds and artistic brilliance that emerged between '64 and about '75 will never be equaled.
Deadass heard this song on Spotify and a couple others from wishbone and thought they were like early 2000s-2010 psych acoustic because their mixing and songwriting is so ahead of it’s time and now I’m realizing they accomplished this in the early 70s…. Just wow… Ana amazing band and underrated album
The second half of this song is absolutely incredible - my god what musicianship
I am 17 years old, I wasn't born when this came out, But I still absolutely adore this song. I grew up listening to it as my parents loved Wishbone Ash, So much meaning and soul in the lyrics and the way the chords are structured.
Not like the absolute crap nowadays, I am sorry my generation have ruined music!
What a masterpiece!
It's been 8 years, music has gotten worse but I hope you're doing well my friend
Sublime!
英国のツインギターグループ、ウィッシュボーン・アッシュの名盤、アーガスからの一曲。マーチン・ターナーのボーカルとテッド・ターナーのメローなギターが泣けます。コードチェンジした後のギターはアンディ・パウエル。W・アッシュのすべてがこの一曲に集約されています。名曲❗のぶ😘
Bought this album in 1973. A lot of time has past and is still one of the greatest of all time. It's up there with Dark Side Of The Moon, and the Trapeze masterpiece You Are The Music... We're Just The Band.
This song the best Argus best album ever you’ll never hear the likes of again ever the rhythm the melody the twin lead guitars the singing every song a masterpiece throw down your sword I could go on and on quality
The First Time I listened to this song I Didn't expect the Bass line. i got wondered when i heard it, it's addictive.
One of the best tracks ever posted on TH-cam, probably the best band out of the 1970's. Great albums and best twin lead ever. Bass from M. Turner truly amazing
Such a shame Steve Upton basically walked away from the music industry. Brilliant drummer.
finaly found my way back to the 72 record the argus. havent been around for awhile. always good to drop by. it happens when the soul needs nectar and eureka, ambrosia
I don't often listening to old rock.
But when I do, my neighbours sure know it, and try to hold the walls standing straight.
One more great song from the classic Argus. Great vocals, great guitars and a powerful bass.
I saw them in 77 in St Louis. A friend asked if they had played anything other than Argus. Didnt quite know what to say. A later 2 disc 'best of' collection in 90s timeframe sure answers that friend's question. Frontpage News is one that comes to mind.
The best song of all time period. Martin Turner absolute wonderful songwriter
I made a choice last year. Not an easy one. I regretted making it, however I knew I would have regretted the case if I did not make it, even more.
Even so, my pain was there and it was a self inflicting one. Whether I was foolish to care, I did very much and I suffered a lot.
This song was an anchor to me. In an unforgiving world I was surrounded by my old friends and one in particular my best friend. People were not going to forgive me, and I was doomed to care because they used to be my friends and I loved them. I knew I was doing the "right thing" but part of this right thing was to regret doing it.
In such times I was drowning in my own sadness and regret, this song was the only one thing on this world that felt like forgiveness. It knew my pain. It knew me. It knew what I had done and it was ready to be the first thing in my little universe to accept me for who I am. I am forever grateful for those sweet 6 minutes 52 seconds of relief periods. Thank you.
one of the great solos ever , saw em live do this , note perfect , stunning .
First saw Wishbone Ash in '71 at the Civic Opera House in Chicago. If I'm not mistaken, they opened for Jethro Tull during the Aqualung tour. They blew away the house...awesome show...have been cranking their tunes ever since.
Argus is great album in 70's rock music.
Alone the lyrics stand as a poem itself,- add the Guitars then and what can one say??? Speechless
Love love love. Listened to this song for years and it is still one of the best ever
FIFTY years old now. And still not as famous as it should be.
Time has not passed through this álbum......
This record is a totally masterpiece! Totally! Even the simplist of the cover, for me, is gorgeous. I put myself in the place of this soldier and i can look to this all day. So many guitar solos and riffs! Relevant lyrics! Man, 1972, same year that Machine Head came out... I can't choose the best record of this year, but Wishbone and Argus is so fucking underrated! Such a shame!
You also had The Slider, Exile on Main Street, Pink Moon, Thick as a Brick, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Black Sabbath Volume 4, School's Out, Close to the Edge, Foxtrot and Transformer. You were spoilt for choice.
The singles charts were an entirely different kettle of fish. Puppy Love? My Ding-a-Ling? YUCK!
This track still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up after forty years!!
Underrated and beautiful gem!!!
Yes one of the most beautiful songs! Forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Doesn'y get any better than this. Saw them for the first time in 1971 at the Caley Cinema Edinburgh and the latest at the Jam house Edinburgh last month. Fantastic live band and Andy Powell one of the finest guitarists around.
+sandy dundas
I was at the Jam house gig with my wife...fantastic night...saw them at Bickershaw Festival in '72. ..Mentioned the fact to Andy Powell when they played Dumfries a few years ago, he said.."Good God, I'm surprised anyone can remember that"...then he autographed my Bickershaw programme, (which I still have and just happened to have with me that night...ahem)...great band, great people!
+Robert Clements i was only 3 when this album came out and i didn't discover it until i was maybe a tween. its still one of my all time favorites.back when you listened to the whole album side to side because it was a complete experience. i envy the generation before me. it must have been great.
skyler I wasnt even born but I will share this with my children just the same. It is a shame that I only discovered this a few months ago.
saw these AND strawbs at Cropredy bout 2007...these did argus....strawbs did grave new world...life could've ended then...
aged 16 in 1970,i lived and loved the whole crazy,fantastic decade.the 70's will never be touched.
Argus. Always loved this album. one of my top ten.
No better album anywhere
