Diamond Head - In The Heat Of The Night

[buzzardvids]

Brian Tattler was one of those forgoten guitar gods,notice he taps with his pinkie finger and ring finger,witch for all those musican people out there know is hard to do,tasty lead as well.

[derniersecret]

groupe enormissime

[adolfknievel]

Diamond Head where managed my the mum of one of the band members. That might be the reason why they never made it very big. Great band still, unlike Metallica they suck.

[satan666himself]

till sonisphere!!!!

[sagarronaldinho]

@ohiomonsters1990 u r true mann



[sagarronaldinho]

DIAMOND HEAD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>metallica

its a shame DH never got much fame

mettallica is gud but not as gud as DH

DH ROxx and OWnS all oder bands who say they t RocknRoll

[MrThrasha666]

WICKED SOLO!!

[DoctorWho1983]

Guitarist reminds a lot of Michael Schenker in his UFO days

[joolzy616]

i totally agree, these men formed this band and did the tunes, i respect metallica but they did bring some fame for am i evil, i really think that DIAMOND HEAD shud have been prometed more for it, their MUSIC,THEIR LYRICS...these guys were let down in a bad way

[hakamon1]

hey you people that keep on sayin shit about Metallica all of the original members of metallica actually loved Diamond Head... one time on tour they had the Diamond Head singer sing Am I Evil? to the audience with the metallica guys playing their instruments

[drazer55]

their best song ever..

[Blizzber]

fuck what everybody says, this rocks :X

[thrashupyourazz]

its funny how the vocalist acts so fruity on stage even though he isnt gay! All hail Diamond Head!

[returnofgoatboy92ace]

YES

[Fretmaster1994]

Brian Tatler is an incredible guitarist!

[TristanStudios]

i love Diamond Head. especially this song. but, correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds exactly the same as the version on Best Of Diamond Head. live recording or is this fake?

[metallicafan003]

@TristanStudios This is the studio version, just over a live video.

[rayvop]

Saw them at Wolverhampton dog track supporting Slade and again at Walsall Town Hall,One of the Midlands best..

[Romanianbear]

I had a couple of pints with them at The Turnpike in Northampton when they were just starting out in the early eighties......the support band was The Alien Sex Fiend. When Diamond Head turned up Sean Harris asked me "Who the fuck are these?"....we didn't know either. Diamond Head were awesome that night playing to about 40 people (if that). I've still got the white label promo album that was only available by mail-order.

[alexraaa]

yhe world is big and this song is bigger.old metal have the emotion and the power to make us feeling fucking gooooooood!!ty diamond head for this !!

SIMPLYCITY 's the RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[mehoprelivoda]

sounds so familiar but also so strange and different from things we usualy can listen.

[damagecontrolmusic]

Check out the newly released Notorious album with Sean Harris. Fantastic video on youtube The S'Walk!

[stewartmacmillan]

why on earth are this band not as big as priest or that, if any1 can show me a better nwobhm band please tell me(maiden dont count in my opinion because they are the best band ever hands down) . diamond head are one of the best bands iv ever heard yet not alot of people know who they are

[Umlatta]

@stewartmacmillan mismanagement and poor judgement, from what I understand. sic transit gloria mundi

[holveragtz]

does anyone know where i could get a guitar pro file for this song??? i wanna learn it really bad!!!

[nanamano]

Awesome track, one of their best!

[MrBrunettehead]

amo esta cancionn!!

[booman1323]

modern music sux!

[Theladyinblack1986]

Great song! Beautiful!

[ericou812]

if there wasnt bands like diamond head,judas,maiden there wouldnt be metallica.

[BrokenSolitary]

Dear God... the first time I heard this song, I thought it was so amazing I cried. And you know what? It still brings tears to my eyes. I really wish I had been there when all of this kickin' music was in it's hey-day (I'm only 17, unfortunately) but at least cool people still upload great promo vids to give me my daily quota of great music!

[RaMbOwgINI]

@BrokenSolitary check out a band called evile and steelwing. they are awesome

[Devoidize]

@BrokenSolitary you need to pay attention to the bands of your time. You never know where is that magic band that plays the anthems for your generation. A lot of the older bands are great to listen to but many are just about done and many are retiring. It's up to you to carry the torch forward.

[BrokenSolitary]

@Devoidize I do. I can thank my younger sister for that. But I feel a need to bring back something I think has been lost. Music today is all about the look- not even so much about the sound. If you can use sex appeal to sell, you've got a career. I think music needs to take a step back and be about the music again. I've always felt as though I'm across this great divide, with the rest of my generation on the other side. I've never understood them, try as I might.

[Devoidize]

@BrokenSolitary It's always been the same. You have to do like Lars Ulrich did and look underground, where he found Diamond Head. Somewhere there is an underground band who is really innovative.

[BrokenSolitary]

@Devoidize We exist without any sense of togetherness, theme, or pride. We hate each other, for unknown reasons. My generation is severely broken. Fixable, but broken. I don't want to be a part of it. Instead, I want to stand on the outside of it, and show it what's it's missing by pressing forward without looking back.

[Kostas4e]

I love the outro and this song!

[kastrikastri]

@rocknrollman1234 totally agree man

[kendostick58]

I just bought Brain Tatler's Autobiography. IT AMAZING

[shredmaster100]

i recently saw them on the bbc guitar legends programme and it said lars ulrich saw this band and they inspired him to form metallica is that true i know deep purple inspired lars as a yong kid but the rest of metallica have different influences as far as i know like hammett was inspired by hendrix and so on

[scousegrecian2]

Lars spent some time on tour with Diamond Head in the early eighties. They were a big influence on him.

[scousegrecian2]

Lars spent some time on tour with them in the early eighties. They were a big influence on him.

[JamesShadown]

Metallica is influence by This abdn and MotorHead! stupeds

[ironmaiden12111]

I saw them live today in bournemouth they were tribute band for Europe it was abslutely amazing! LOVE DIAMOND HEAD!

[UrukTheRed]

opening band, not tribute band!

[TREE632]

i didn't  know the lead singer could the play I love this band

[kendostick58]

BETTER than metallica

[blaze09]

you guys do know that metallica was inspired by dimamond head.

[painkiller625]

this argument will go on forever.

[woode77]

well u have 2 understand that all metallica did was took "Am I Evil" and made a cover that was a bit heavier so w/e u like depends completely on the persons opinion. truthfully i prefer Diamondhead over metallica

[MrDrummerdude94]

4 every1 that keeps fighting about metallica and diamond head...just stop...theyre both great bands

[uhokstupid]

@VidsByDaniel have you ever heard of opinions?

[VidsByDaniel]

These guys are were incredible! I can't see how people prefer Metallica! Honestly: weissheim had to disable comments on the video for "Am I Evil?" because all that people could talk about was the fact that Tatler dressed funny, and that Metallica is better simply because they sold more albums.

I want to see Tatler shove that V up Ulrich's butt!

[Princejarethh]

Most definitely, Metallica's cover made the original sound like crap, just because it's more known doesn't mean it's better. Lets get Diamond Head and SLADE to kick Metallica's ass.

[VidsByDaniel]

I wouldn't say that Metallica made Diamond Head sound like crap, and I think that the promo video that weissheim uploaded is completely epic, but I DO prefer Metallica's album version over Diamond Head's album version.

[megadeth1818]

...well that's creepy, but yeah dude they kick fuckin ass! and i didnt know sean harris played guitar

[UrukTheRed]

He played rhythm on some songs, and used it in the writing process. Onstage and in studio, he didn't usually play it though.

[painkiller625]

I do too......if only.

[CiboReZ]

yeaaa,very good band 4ever , Sean Harris come back!:D

[rocknrollman1234]

I think these guys deserve to be bigger than metallica. Why do all the real talents not get the credit they deserve?

[ClaimhSolais]

One word. Marketing.

[v0lquete]

@rocknrollman1234 because nobody appreciates good music any more

[v0lquete]

@rocknrollman1234 because nobody apprciates good music anymore...

[Lillihen17]

@rocknrollman1234

totally agree, most under-rated band in the world!!!!!

[4heavybeast4]

@Lillihen17 at least one of them listen to UFO or angel witch

[dobiedub1]

@rocknrollman1234 Seriously. They're so much better than Metallica! Things like that make me hate Metallica.

[camtastic666]

@dobiedub1 so because metallica is better at putting themselves out to their audiences and other possible listeners you hate them? i like diamond head and all, but metallica perfected the art of thrash and whatever genre you believe diamond head sports.

[dobiedub1]

@camtastic666 No. I don't hate them. I just dislike them because all they are are sellouts. James has turned into a total fucking girl through these past years. They make good music but not near as good as when they could still call themselves "thrash."

[MickeyLove01]

@rocknrollman1234 This lot released material that sounded like it was produced in a shed on an 8 track.

[nicomotorhead]

@rocknrollman1234 maybe they never wanted to be ultra famous, also when the things are done very big, the soul dissapear.

its always better have a roof, if one climbs all that he can after the fall is worst.

[thefriendsociety]

@rocknrollman1234 you have to be there at the right place and right time to become big in rock n roll

[Nightscrm]

@rocknrollman1234 they are big man this guys where the influence for metallica i am a metallica fan and i belive this first bands are the real metal the others are just commercial

[CountDruckula]

@rocknrollman1234 becouse the best things in life get shit on.

[joshlockwood69]

This song is so good - although is TOO underrated

[ilijad]

Not just song,this band is underrated!

[cacapille]

This is a great song! Look at Wikipedia to see the names of their albums, all their discography is great.

[Kenrae008]

How can it be that I didn't know of this band until now? They're awesome!

[Mechboos]

This band ruled. Too bad they were so underrated.

[fatlip66]

daimond head kicked ass

[MishuTaste]

I wish Diamond Head was more popular.

[TFIFH]

Well you can't get very far, if your mother is your manager.

[AlwaysSkate488]

Nah. Then it would be on gay shit like guitar hero and rock band and the legacy would be ruined.

[MishuTaste]

I don't pay attention to those video games. Besides, who the hell could keep up w/ Brian Tatler's lead guitar on a silly fake guitar w/ buttons?

[dikrokus]

masterpiece!!!

[gusphol]

awesome band, i remember listening to this song years ago, ya know when a song makes you remember a time that seems so long ago. but the music remains timeless.

[pennenbuisje]

Man, I want their albums but I can't find them anywhere!

btw: his face is a bit like a monkey face but that's okay, his singing is awesome, the band owns, GREAT songs, and monkey is a good thing...SAIYAN!

ALL HAIL DIAMOND HEAD!!!!

btw: Dead Reckoning is best! or Am I Evil.... can't choose...

Ishmael is good as well!

[mzkorox]

no diamond head

no metallica!!

[prowler201267]

[rahoo5757]

[fannymagnusson]

diamond head = best band ever

[MattBodossian]

Be damned if you aren't right.

[MIraster]

[m0tl3ysl4y3r]

[6Lord6Ertrael6]

Buenisima banda!

[louiscfc93]

this is a over dub or theyr amazin at performing

[pewy26]

This is a dub indeed.

Read the info on the right. it s a promo vid.

[slftb1]

Totally underrated band, ahead of tehir time

[MattBodossian]

i dont hate bruce dickinsons singing but sean harris is much better!!!

[jimmyjambhere]

no way. bruce dickinson is way better. sean sounds ok but he has a gay sound. bruce kicks ass!!!!!!!!

[MattBodossian]

no man sean doesnt have a gay sound id say bruce has more of the gay soun like in run to the hills.

[zakasaro]

uffff what a great song!!!

[solsiquiera]

Genial tema...Sean nunca pudo superar su etapa de querer ser el nuevo Robert plant???

Genial banda maese ...Los Papás indudables de metallica así cómo UFO los de Iron Maiden!

[dapik5]

ive known bout this band for ages but never really cheked em out properly til now, theyre awesome

[nekbeth]

unique and awesome sound

[heavymetalworshipper]

great band

[MikkiMetalLuvsBrianJ]

i've never heard of this bacnd before, wonder why? they're so good!

[evilmaniac999]

It's a great pitty Diamond head isn't as famous as bands like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, metallica :-??... Brian Tatler is a god!Sean Harris is the greatest vocalist Diamond Head had!!

[askeseverin]

Metallica love them!!

like me!!

[askeseverin]

very good singer!!

good band!!!

nice music. very good!!!!!!!!!!

[clashboy1977]

Iron Maiden Should Have Replaced Paul Dianno With Sean Harris Instead Of Bruce Dickenson Hahahaha!

[pat12pack]

That would be interesting to hear!!

[brucetheking]

ma di mia sò casade!

[iouakick]

this band SHOULD have been as big as metallica or maiden!!

[brucetheking]

amazing song, amazing band, one of the best ever

[lufcwhites59]

Great band. Maybe their problem was that they thought they were too big. But Metallica loves them!

[SAHBfan]

I remember them being announced at gigs as 'The natural successors to Led Zeppelin' - which usually went down like a Led Zeppelin with the crowd...

When I saw them they were good... although there were better live rock bands from the Midlands at the time.

[jaocheu]

I remember watching this concert on ITV (I think)

2 Great Albums then pressed the self destruct button.

[brox68]

Borrowed Time has just been re-released (2000 copies limited edition).....great band. Love this song:)

[CraiggyOats]

Yea I bought the Borrowed Time rerelease at Best Buy. I think it's even better than Lightning to the Nations.

[2112pk]

i have that reissue, the mastering on the bonus tracks is awful.

[MyPaprika]

Great vid. Thanx 4 posting.

Shine-On :o)

[Mickstevo]

Takes me back, still have this on Vinyl although haven't listened to it for 25 years. Went to see them at the Heart of the Midlands in Nottingham and never took the album out again, they were shocking (they are miming here) inventive but just couldn't repeat it live. Sean Harris was acting like some teen idle, I'm embarrassed now to say when he put his hand out to me like a heart throb I pulled him off stage. Funny at the time but something I am not proud of.

[weissheim]

I saw them at the Glasgow Apollo just after the release of Borrowed Time, and it still ranks as one of the best gigs I've seen. They were fantastic.

[kayrosx1]

@weissheim Glasgow apollo 1982, best gig Ever!! Band coming on for 3rd encore after house lights went up, still waiting for another band to do it but no luck so far! Havent the heart to go and see them nowadays, too many good memories! Not only best gig but also worst support band in Tank, my mate threw drumstick back at em cos they were so bad! sorry took 2 years to reply!!

[LiamG095]

@kayrosx1 Yeah, Tank were truly awful! They were top of my list of bad support bands until I saw Lamb of God supporting Heaven and Hell and then I realised what a great band Tank were in comparison :)

[bonkswa]

@Mickstevo maybe they where too thight on cocaine or some crap

[DJDonuts]

C`mon people , let`s get behind real rock music , fuck pop an r an fuckin b , he`re`s a little touch of real music , even Simon Cowell would say this is good, long live rock an roll x

[UrukTheRed]

Pop and R&B were both very influential to Sean Harris. Maybe not today's versions of it, but back then... Just listen to them, very infectious pop melodies with more than subtle (to my ears) R&B influences, vocally at least. They were just real about it. They could back it up with aggressive punk rhythms, bluesy guitar solos and epic, almost classical arrangements. These are all elements that to me, belong in heavy metal and make it such an interesting genre.

[TIASDAD1974]

I think metallica would still have formed on the strength of venom and the misfits.Diamond Head were still awesome though!!!

[7zuma7]

I don't know how and if Metallica would have been formed, but I think their riffs,especially on first album Kill'em all are very influenced by this band.

[grimward]

Epic snare, I love diamond head.

[UrukTheRed]

That's the best snare sound for rock/metal I think. Brilliant they were.

[AceRattlehead]

Diamond head, without them, we wouldnt have megadeth or metallica

[PaulM3131]

Awesome band!

[PhantomMaster]

Brilliant.

[MadHellion]

One of the definitive British Heavy metal bands, excellent
