Uriah Heep - Traveller in time

[notahemi]

The music was great. I bought their albums. And it made me cool since they were not top 40 material in the states. .

But their schtick sort of creeped me out. Demon, wizzards? I don't care for the occult overture It wasn't necessary and didn''t seem to help sale here anyway. (Kiss not withstanding)

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

[Mrgwarkiller]

@notahemi its not occult....its nerd stuff....like fantasy fiction? yeeeeaahhh.....

[Momcil]

Demons and Wizards and the early albums of Uriah Heep have a sense of Psychedelic rock as well.

David Byron rocks!

[yarborg1]

heep n purple 4 me,cool tunes,never get old listening to it

[swampdonkeydad]

I still keep this CD in My truck, When this album was new I had the Record then I got the cassette, I think this is the only music i've had all three versions of and i still have them all.

[silvior47]

Great tune! Ah how I miss the 70's such a simpler time!

[beebeef]

YEAH FUCK OFF TODAY!!!!!

[kingofweed66]

URIAH HEEP RULZZZZZZZ

[gopromoca]

CADA DIA DE MI VIDA SIENTO QUE TODAVIA ME FALTA

[wigginsdesign]

I hardly listen to ANY ROCK today accept 70's PROG ROCK or ZEP but This album was my favorite record when I was 14/15 in the early 70's. They really took me places and very progressive in their vision

[F0rtn0x]

7 people were so mind blown by this incredible song they couldn't tell the difference between the like and dislike button

[yarborg1]

i tripped on this with white blotter

[ank0ku]

I just heard this band from a friend's dad, and oh my god... This whole album is amazing.

[maheenkadri]

7 dislikes? my god people are stupid.

[hdrake1000]

Check out the Roger Dean Album Cover! the great thing about Uriah Heep is they can blast but their songs are very well written and are mature in their subject matter and still contain a mystical fantacy about them. If I had to pick one favorite song writer I believe it would have to be Ken Hensley.

[yarborg1]

whooo whoooo,rip my knackers n drag em on concrete

[nativefrye23]

" That's powerful stuff right there !!!!

[skunkdad7]

I am , I was , I will be a Uriah Heep freak .....70's the best .

[jlbsparks299]

The 1st time I ever saw or heard of ZZ Top they were opening for Heep. That was a lifetime ago.

[UriahHeepisbest]

@jlbsparks299

Uriah Heep and ZZ Top are both fantastic bands!

[coldshot5555]

Just remember we are all Travlers in Time....Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!

[zorazen2]

Brilliant Band with Insight!

70's a Blast! 70's Best!

Travelling in Time!

What Era Now? Superficial!

Materialism and Greed Crushes!

[theeuerpe]

SUER !!!!!!!!!!!



[theeuerpe]

SUER !!!!!!!!!!!

[MrMuschiato]

Great band. RIP Gary and David.

[garrylafferty100]

great band seen elpaso texas spring of 73 at 19 that was crazy but fun thanks uriah heep

[tomol57]

Blue Oyster Cult's early producer, Sandy Pearlman, now a Woodrow Wilson Scholar of Creative Arts at McGill University in Canada, has been semi-officially credited with coining the term "Heavy Metal".

[irishsetterarchie]

Thanks for posting.....great pictures....and that's the way we were!!

[malawri67]

fuckin great band!!!!RIP David and Gary.

[jake95284abc]

great music from a time gone by!

jake

[AsaphProject]

Deep Purple certainly was there from the beginning as a Heavy Metal influence. All music was so much better back then.

[TheMaskedJohnson]

We need guys like this in music now more than ever. Music with BALLS.

[okuspokus100]

lee kerslake is definately the best drummer of alltime!the magician s birthday says it all!!!!!!!!

[Nossl1990]

Byron ,Box, Hensley ,Thain & Kerslake

they where the best Uriah Heep members

[metalbay5]

your memory is short.your forgetting so many bands.does anybody remember Iron Butterfly?hendix,the who?kinks?wake up or shut up and enjoy these classics....lol.:)

[sehaalturk]

I still remember the expression on my high school music teacher's face when he

heard Byron's voice. He just whispered " What is he doing in Rock & Roll?"

( Needless to say, he only listened to classical music.)

[humac09]

teším sa na koncert juchuuuuu!!! 5.5. :)))

[Baijidoom]

Never realised, but that ending thing is SO a nod to Led Zeppelin.

[MrFreeOliveira]

Here in Brazil I can perceive they were inspiration for a band called "Sa, Guarabyra & Rodrix"..

[sirlovemehard]

Saw them with Wishbone Ash, Nazareth, and Blue Oyster Cult in the early 90's. Awesome show...

[sirlovemehard]

One of the best Hard Rock songs of all time...

[JuliaPetrovaChannel]

One of the best Rock bands of all times as well!

[Sixalienasa]

I suppose you can do better. Lets see it then. It isnt as easy as it looks.

[rkoslov]

Follow the music back in time - decade after decade - century after century - millenium after millenium - and we'll arrive at a lad the clan knows as 'Ug' who livens up the after-dinner hours beating on a rock while plucking the stretched out hairs of what remains of the dinner kill - strung between two sticks. See you there!

[Sixalienasa]

You have little respect for our ancestors. There are many people today who would fit your description. I believe that Ug as you call him would have been called Hug, and he would have been as intelligent as you or I. His stringed instrument would have been a lot more sophisticated than you imagine.

[criss1975]

Que gran banda y gran disco Demons and Wizards, lastima que muy pocos conoscan esta banda.

[VL1302]

Classic :-)

[eucutta1]

Demons and Wizards; The Magician's Birthday: Two of the greatest rock records in history.

[countdumas]

@eucutta1 Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle, Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong.

[Fort2itis]

@eucutta1 Ab-so-freakin'-lutely!!!! Soon to be 55 yrs. young and I still love listening to these 2 that you mention here.

[genxxxersize]

Is there a bad song on Demons and Wizards, NO! ~smiles~

[freekoss]

lol..right on.

[QVXS77]

Brilliant track, shame that Ken hensley got DB sacked just before I saw them, grrr!

[miloslewis]

MAN TURN ME ON

[stayyoungnow1]

When I saw their concert in Portland Oregon it was great. Maybe it was the magic mushrooms. I think it was a combination of both. Love live Uriah heep and all forms of magic that science is so stupid to ignore.;

[badcoraphael]

uriah heep what a band...what a number.

[gazzfromoz]

I heard that " Anyone that remembers the 70's wasn't REALLY there " I was there and yes there are bits of missing time..... hehehe

[KyleJS30]

I just read the lyrics and If anyone is familiar with the doctor who series..well you might notice some similiarities.

I'm positive this song was written for the doctor who series, it mentions how hes tired of being alone, with a lot on his mind, and saving man kind, this is great!

[mnls0]

You are right! Also don't forget that the Doctor was exiled from his planet when the series began in the 60's. The song says "trying so hard to pay for my crime"!

[KyleJS30]

Thats what i'm saying! its pretty sweet to think about it.

[metalbay5]

awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we were so lucky to grow up and get stoned in the 70,s.this generation sucks.thank god i lived this long to hear this song again.lol.

[cschriss]

You are so right. This is a great song, and the 70's blow away anything since!!!

[drunklyrics]

i know you guys were so lucky i wish i had gotten to live then but luckly i have good parents that show me this amazing music

[eucutta1]

I was a teen in the '80s and we kind of discovered Uriah Heep on our own, especially the old stuff. We too found the experience "mind altering," if you know what I mean.

[1Mhoram9]

Absolutely!

[IrmaDoMetal]

Yeah, the 70's rocks... fuck off today !

[oj8b709q]

right on

[blabblab1212]

I am surprised I still have some fucking hearing left!!

[blabblab1212]

I also saw a concert in Harrisburg, Pa where Aerosmith was the opening band (had just released their 1st album), Queen was the second band (just released their 1st album), and Mott the Hoople was the top billed act coming on 3rd. Queen and Aerosmith totally blew the concert off the map but Mott still kicked ass. All three bands cost $5.00 Those were the fucking days, let me tell you. No bullshit corporate advertising either, just plain old ass kicking rock.

[blabblab1212]

I saw these guys in the 1970's at the Harrisburg, Pa. Farm Show arena on their "Look at Yourself" tour. They kicked ass!! Wish I had caught the "Demons and Wizards" tour.

[blabblab1212]

What a great rock band!!!!!!!!!!!!

[confederatecolonel1]

Uriah Heep was way ahead of their time. Most of the 70's rock greats owe their inspiration to Heep. Don't know why they were and still are HUGE in Europe but had only nominal success in America. They are my all-time favorite!

[oldyuma]

When you're 16 and you're listening to everything from Led-Zep,Elton John,Jim Croce..to Commando Cody..Guess what stand's out because you can't find it anywhere.....HEEP!!!!!....rock on bro's..

[blabblab1212]

Why don't they play this song on the radio anymore??

[alsantosmusic]

Radio must be deaf... :) Actually, UH should be aired everyday.

[sohappyIcouldshit]

I'm so happy to be....Out there somewhere...

[OFUMedia]

One of the best all-time albums,fo sho!

[alsantosmusic]

Uriah Heep rocks! Thank you very much for posting it, your vid for this masterpiece is awesome. R.I.P. Gary, R.I.P. David, we miss you.

[HippieInHeart]

oh, yeah, without David Byron, they´re just not the same...

And Gary Thain... He was a Really great Bassist, and its really tragical, that his Time with the Heep was so short...

[bud4207]

this band is in a class all by its self!

[stormbringer68510]

im gonna shut up now and enjoy this music,whatever it is!

[stormbringer68510]

im not here to argue but as to what is metal or progressive rock or even hard rock but sabbath is the only thing from '69 i classify as metal

[stormbringer68510]

steppenwolf is not metal dude born to be wild is cheesy mainstream pop-rock Black Sabbath is the original Heavy Metal band

[Shwaggetyshfifty]

sabbath and deep purple kind of co-founded heavy metal. not sabbath alone

[creematthew]

Wow, you're a retard. Go to listen to 'pop' from when that song was around. You have no appreciation of time and place.

[satanswhore13]

I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!

[rockaires]

This was a BAND!

[IrmaDoMetal]

Fantastic! Uriah Heep Rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

I Love it *.* 70s

=*

[alanmartin18]

the 70's rocked especially queen and uriah heep

[jdclover]

I actually am TRAVELLING IN TIME and declare the 70s to rock the most. Although the music of the last decade of the 23rd century also rocks hard (particularly that played by the head of Mick Box)

[WTU208]

grimblix check ISBN 0963401947

[Grimblix]

I used to think Bush was the big bad wolf too, but think of this: when he heard of that 2nd plane hitting wtc, he didn't seem shocked, but he DID seem afraid, as though he knew and couldn't do a damn thing about it. Notice he kept reading to those kids for about 15 min after he found out? It's like someone told him "babysit those kids and keep your nose out of this". Search youtube / google for Javier Solanna. STOP NWO!

Javier Solanna is the big bad wolf!

[s743af]

Growing up in the 60-70's was a gift. We had the best music,we were very outspoken, demonstrative,and dare I say comfortable with our feelings,our rights and each other. We had the best musicians of all time and it will be very hard to duplicate the talent,emotions and culture of that time. Woodstock couldn't be done today as folks today don't have peace of mind and having a million people in one place today would be a roadmap for trouble. Sometimes the 'good old days' was just that - good.

[kyrioskoks]

Oh, dear s743af!

Nobody on earth could agree with you more than I do!

(No, that's a lie; EVERYBODY would!)

All ages say about the same for their eras, BUT OURS WAS REALLY DIFFERENT! We are stuck there (that's good), and will not compromise on anything LESS THAN THE BEST! Our age was unique in all chapters -- with MUSIC ON TOP; number one!

I hereby confess: I am a lucky person, who was gifted to live so magic, free, gorgeous and full moments in life!

So long, pal

[yllnmyntsk]

@s743af "this use to be nothing but orange groves" blah blah blah blah, theres good and bad in everything. good sentiment but as long as the vibe on a whole is the same regardless of decade label or historic event, thats all that matters

[punktyp]

Yeah, the 70's rocks... fuck off today !

[borislueck]

THEY WERE WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME!

[thays35244]

Man, bring back the 70's

[ImYourClit]

is that how rock and metal started?

thx to the lord...

[Floydika]

You could say so. :D

[Charm91]

Well, no, rock n roll started with Bill Haley (Rock Around The Clock) and Elvis, blues rock started with Chuck Berry, rock with Who (My Generation) and Beatles (Helter Skelter), and metal with Steppenwolf (Born To Be Wild), mostly.

Long Live Rock And Roll

[Karkosis]

rofl metal did not start with steppen wolf!! it started with black sabbath, born to be wild was made in 1968 and before black sabbath was named that they were earth and before that polka tulk (maybe incorret spelling) and they played music that was heavier than born to be wild.

Besides when born to be wild was on the charts it was called a rock song.

[Charm91]

Yeah, but not before Born To Be Wild. It's considered the first heavy metal songs. Well, maybe Black Sabbath was the pioners in metal. And have you ever considered where the word heavy metal is from? Well, check the Born To Be Wild lyric;

I like smoke and lightning

HEAVY METAl thunder!

Racin' with the wind

And the feelin' that I'm under.

So, Black Sabbath is the first real metal band, while Born To Be Wild is the first real heavy metal song

[Shwaggetyshfifty]

agreed

[Floydika]

Hmm...I've never looked on Born to be wild that way. Perhaps you're right. :D

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@Charm91 the term was first coined by a british rock journalist upon his hearing Jim Hendrix the first time, and as he wrote, "Jimi's music sounded like heavy metal falling form the sky"..........................­.............................1­967

[trepwohrr]

@Charm91 THE FIRST TRUE HEAVY METAL SONG WAS IRON BUTTERFLY IN A GODDA DIVDA

[SgtBustahnutt]

@Charm91 either that or its the fact that the heavy sound of black sabbath is partially because of tony iommi's finger tips of his fret hand being cut off, so he had to tune his guitar down so it would hurt his fingers a rediculous amount while wearing the things on his fingers to equalize what he lost. he lost his fingers from a heavy thing of sheet metal; worked in a heavy metal plant. just a posibility, but that heavy metal thunder thing sounds fairly correct

[3rd6thdeathward]

@Charm91 i think everyone was feeling it at the time they all had different ways of expressing metal ;) cheers brothers

[BANCA52]

@Charm91 Black sabbath was NOT the first metal band! Blue Cheer was. Black Sabbath was the first metal band to get the recognition. Blue Cheer came along a year ahead of Sab.

[Nuhtin4u]

@Charm91 So your saying a rock band played a metal song

and a

traditional heavy metal band played rock songs??????????

Im puzzled

[RebelwithMacaws]

@Charm91 Your saying Heavy Metal came from ther sound of a Harley Davidson engine???

[4fergr8ful]

@Charm91 - Born to be Wild wasn't a heavy metal song. The "heavy metal thunder" in the song is talking about the roar of the engines. Look at the opening lines, "Get your motor runnin', head out on the highway." And the second verse, "...heavy metal thunder, racin' with the wind." This song became a biker theme because of the movie, "Easy Rider." Steppenwolf was a psychedelic/hard rock band.

[detchs1]

Rock Mastersq Uriah Heep!

Good old music times... 70-80s

Thank you YouTube i can watch and listen to my favourites for all times..

[Mrelephantman]

tHANK HEAVEN FOR YOUTUBE SO WE CAN SEE BANDS LIKE THIS.

[thurintheelf]

I recall CCR...Todays music aint got the same soul, i want my old time rock and roll

[zappafanx]

Great!!!

[BrimptonFopp]

Yes there was energy. Not contrived BS on MTV coming from corporate Amerika!

MC5 Blue Cheer Uriah fuckin' Heep Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! That's MUSIC!

[splutnik]

You forgot to put that as Amerikkka. Dude get with the program. We need to trash Amerikka as much as possible, and you need to symbolize it as racist. Corporate pigs, warmongers, anything to get the masses up in arms...ooops, sorry, forgot, we do not need arms, the government will take care of that for us. Good song though.

[BrimptonFopp]

Problem is that America is heavily sedated.

[4eyedCyclopes]

well, i believe its the american government thats full of evil..we, as american citizens are either victims of government bullshit or cowardly co-conspirators because we just bend over and take it and watch it get dished out to the rest of the world as well...i guess we're all guilty.

[eblunot]

Don't feel too bad - it's been that way for a long time - colonialism - revolutionism(1776) - patriotism - capitalism - absolutionism ( free the slaves ) - separatism (civil war down with dixie) - genocidism ( native americans) - McCartyism - ( rat on and kill the communisms) - patriotism ( Uncle Sam wants you in Nam) - pacifism (burn a draft card ) - exodusism ( get out to Canada) -sanctuaryism - terrorism ( CIA Nicaragua Chile Panama) -911 more paranoia so the masses will settle for less peace

[caveman1968]

@BrimptonFopp hell yea, thats some kick ass music you mentioned.

i tried to thumbs up everybody at least 10 times.. lol..

[bonghead420]

Demons & wizards -- One of my favorite all time albums. The music from the sixties/seventies was the best. I remember coming home from partying and putting on the headphones and crashing to this album. Man, it sounds as good today as it did 36 years ago.

[shmuel33]

70's Rock was the best, won't be matched again, reflection of stagnant culture we live in.

[ceoor]

Spot on,artists then were more creative,sincere in their work,and no MTV driven rock celebrity silliness!

[Ofranhuda]

Classic! i love this...

[IrmaDoMetal]

Fantastic! Uriah Heep RULEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

[rockaires]

brilliant band. nowadays the music haven´t the soul of the 70s

[frankisnz]

[Playboyeda]

GreaT FantastiC Thx a lot!

[bhayz00]

[Floydika]

I'm not sure what you were trying to say/ask. :D

[Kepo182]

bhayz00 means who is the guy with bare bottom towards the camera!!

[Floydika]

That will be mr. Lee Kerslake (the drummer).

[aciSd]

roxxorz! 5/5

[dsdi1]

Hard rock ?? I called it symphonic rock.
