MMCXII Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Gotta love that raspy 'raped goat' voice! 1
greyfriar Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Can't help it. I'm so Budgie-addicted at the moment, I'm playing Bandolier and Never Turn Your Back On A Friend over and over again. It's nearly a religious exercise. (Give us this day our daily Breadfan...) :D 2
Babycat Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I'm being honest and say that though I'm familiar with the name Budgie, I've not actually heard anything they've done. Will have to rectify this and look them up. 2
greyfriar Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Budgie became so essential for me, since I rediscovered them a few weeks ago. I literally fell in love with some of their albums.At the moment my fave songs are Napoleon Bona Part 1 and Part 2, In The Grip Of A Tyrefitter's Hand and Breaking All The House rules. Ah f**k, they're all good. It's so much fun to immerge into these albums and rock out to that fantastic groove. :haz: :madra: :smoke:
ILSnwdog Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I first heard Budgie listening to the Boneyard on Sirius. Of course it was Breadfan. I couldn't find anything from them on iTunes, so one of our TRF brethren set me up with a fair amount of their stuff, and it's all f***ing brilliant! :haz: 2
Narps Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I first heard Budgie listening to the Boneyard on Sirius. Of course it was Breadfan. I couldn't find anything from them on iTunes, so one of our TRF brethren set me up with a fair amount of their stuff, and it's all f***ing brilliant! :haz:I have their first four releases in my collection somewhere. I wore them out in my youth..... 1
greyfriar Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 don't forget to turn the volume up... :smoke:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6pj3HopC4Y 4
Narps Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 don't forget to turn the volume up... :smoke:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6pj3HopC4YWhat a friggin unique sound this band has. I had almost forgotten. As a Rush fan way back its no wonder I picked up this bands stuff and listened to it all the time. Nice post.... :ebert: 1
jamie Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Budgie is so great. I'm glad that my friends got me into them. They're like a proggy mix of Rush, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Aerosmith. It's a shame they never became more popular. 2
EagleMoon Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I agree I think they're cool. It's too bad they didn't do more. 1
greyfriar Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 After a listening marathon, lasting for month now, Budgie became my official No. 2 Band. I'm glad that I rediscovered them and it's even better that there are a few albums left that I haven't heard yet. :haz: 3
Your_Lion Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I just listened to Breadfan...... :haz:Classic song :haz: 1
greyfriar Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I just listened to Breadfan...... :haz:Classic song :haz:Yes it's a killer. :haz:How is your band doing with the cover version?
MMCXII Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 They're actually like a cross between early Rush and early Sabbath Here's a couple more funny song titles Nude Disintegrating Parachutist WomanYou're The Biggest Thing Since Powdered milkIn the Grip of a Tyrefitters Hand Quacktor and the BureaucatsSky High Percentage (awesome tune!)Forearm Smash 4
greyfriar Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 They're actually like a cross between early Rush and early SabbathTrue and you can't put them into a category, they've played their own league. :haz: 1
greyfriar Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 They're actually like a cross between early Rush and early Sabbathand early Wishbone Ash, early Nektar, early UFO and very early Scorpions. Just like a bunch of bands sounded in the beginning of the 70's. Budgie rocks and 70's music rules. :givebeer: 4

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 WHAT A BAND!! Wales gave us 2 great bands back then, Budgie & Man. Man were amazing. Very hard to categorise, boogie-prog might be a start. 3
Stormtron Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAvQN47-xqk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue1B7svB-Bo Dat diversity. I f***ing love this band. 2

troutman Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Don't know any thing about the band, But I see folks posting about them in the "listening thread". I will check them out later today. Edited June 21, 2014 by troutman 1
gangsterfurious Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I Budgie It's kind of funny because they've been around forever but I've never met people who've heard of them until recently. I was having a discussion about music with a girl in her 20's and she brought them up, we were soooo excited to meet another person who actually knew who they were.
