holy f**k I love this band!!

 

heard about them a while ago on the boneyard but just started listening to their stuff. WOW, these guys rock!! killer grooves! kinda remind me of rush in that it's a three-piece and the singer kinda has a unique voice.

 

anyone else love this extremely underrated band from the 70's??

Fantastic band. If I were old enough to be in the know about music back then, I would have ahad a heyday with all the heavy/hard rock/metal bands from the beginning of the '70's. This is one of them.

I've written about this band on here in the past. Even compared a Budgie song title to "Bytor."

This is a great band. I have all of their stuff.

ROCK ON!

yeah I saw that post... you left something out though. both albums featured a bird on the cover if I'm not mistaken... wink.gif

I've rediscovered Budgie a few weeks ago and that's why I bring this thread to life again.

Their 70's stuff is outstanding and knocks me out of the socks at the moment. There's not one single day that I didn't play at least one of their albums. Finest Welsh power rock! :haz: After years of hardly ignoring them without even knowing why, I finally found a new, old love. The Budgie flies again. :smoke:

I have In For The Kill, Bandolier, Impeckable and If I Were In Britannia I'd Wave The Rules on vinyl. I bought them in the mid to late 70's and used to listen to them all the time. I bought them being a Rush fan already then for obvious reasons. I used to listen to them alot but haven't heard any of the records in 30 plus years. So sad on me. I have no place anymore to play my old and wonderful vinyl.... :rage: :(

 

Another reason I love this forum so much. You guys never fail to bring back wonderful memories for me... Thanks gents for that.... :cheers:

Then I hardly recommend the 1973 release Never Turn Your Back On A Friend to you. You'll love it, I promise. :madra:

Budgie is a brilliant band. One of my faves actually. Never made a bad album. It's a shame Metallica fed up those cover songs. The originals rule.

The best thing about the Metallica covers is that they helped me convince my band that we should learn Breadfan.
