Uriah Heep Think it over

[sangfreud]

Not the greatest sound quality in this video, but I love the song. I disagree that the Abominog version sucks. It's different, but it's still good! That was the first one I heard.

[claraboomday]

wih all comments about this song and the singers..for me one thing is evident..the punters love this song..as do i.. it has a special something!!

for a video of this poor quality to have had over 130,000 hits..says it all!!

[claraboomday]

wih all comments about this song and the singers..for me one thing is evident..the punters love this song..as do i.. it has a special something!!

[greatleahart]

excellent!! i love this voice!

[kenhensleyfan]

The best Sloman did for heep. This version was releast as a singel, Later rerecorded fr the Abininog album. Then with Peter Goalby on vocals but that is apoor version

[lheavy1970]

Sucks... Look at Yourself rules..

[skeetersbiscuits]

sorry I think that version isn't any better than the Uriah Heep Abominog version, and this audio sucks

[TheMichaelseymour]

must be a better version of this hissy tape ....still i am thankfull - why dont you dub on the cd to the vid ?

[malawri67]

great band in all of their incarnations!

[nazzare79]

better this version than the one on abominog...

[asparrow]

That fool singing has the biggest mouth EVER!  Go back to Lawton.

[allankbelo]

@asparrow Steve Tyler and Mick Jagger both have bigger ones, what´s your point?

[asparrow]

@allankbelo I don't like the dude. Lawton kicked ass though.

[risingfr]

great.

[makatiboy5]

Ther's a big similarity in the voice of John Sloman and Glenn hughes.

[CloudFROST]

@makatiboy5 Yes! Listen Sloman singing 'She Talks About You' song. Is very alike.

[brigade911]

nice version, though Sloman usually sounds like a cat being strungled...He ruins almost the whole of Conquest

[nazzare79]

wonderful song...great vocals too...this first version is the best one in my opinion...

[allankbelo]

This song is so cool. Somebody has to upload a HQ version someday...

[bond00777777]

super discovary

[MrTomek997]

Goalby, technically decent as he was, in terms of style he was only a poor copy of Lou Gramm. It was a blessing that UH managed to find Bernie Shaw...

[metalslut1]

@MrTomek997 Peter Goalby had a very strong voice...probably the strongest of any Uriah Heep singer but I wish he sounded LESS like Lou Graham though. Bernie Shaw has a cool style but is very "pitchy" and often out of key. David Byron rules!!!

[Godza1602]

@metalslut1 John Lawton is, for me, best Heep singer. He has more soul in his voice than other Heep singers.

[metalslut1]

@Godza1602 True enough, John Lawton had a great voice in Uriah Heep 4 sure! What do you think of Bernie Shaw?

[palg123]

this version of think it over is better than abominog version...john sloman is much better singer than Pete Goalby

[hank54cross]

The worst lineup ever for the Heep

[Philo11]

Do you, by any chance, own a comic store in Springfield ?

[palg123]

not for me...the worst line-up is with Pete Goalby on the mic.

[howdyfeller]

I think the only way the audio quality could be worse is if you recorded it underwater as well

[MrTomek997]

Great song - much better than anything they did with Pete Goalby. Sloman is not my favourite vocalist, but at least here (and in a few tracks from Conquest album) he works brilliantly.

[palg123]

yes, this version is much better than abominog version, but john is my 3rd favourite singer after David and John L.

[HarveyBritRocker]

john sloman is my guitar teacher, hes a nice guy, great guitarist and great singer!

[palg123]

much better singer than pete goalby. John S. is my 3rd favourite UH singer.

[Itipcows]

nice "old cassette tape" audio quality

[greatleahart]

glorioso john sloman!! gloriosa banda uriah heep por siempre!

[milisandre]

He might not have been the best singer for Heep but he was the hottest to look at :)

[MrXubuntu]

Great song but only almost 100thousand views.

[MrXubuntu]

Uriah Heep rock`s

[MrXubuntu]

Can Sloman play guitar?

[Heepster69]

How can you tell? That's Canadian Gregg Dechert on keyboards!

[GraachAhim]

This song is excellent, and I was surprised by the fact that Sloman did the main guitar solo, not Mick.

[liza2202]

это все хорошо и здорово, это приличный рок, sloman - молодец, но это уже не uriah heep!

[bynoon3]

Wonderful stuff,this track had charts all over it ,if things were different eh!Great to see the Welsh Glenn Hughes giving it some on vox.

Love it .

[Philo11]

New web site johnsloman. net

[elfomanaus]

é porque no disco e outro vocalista, outro baterista e outra gravação... essa é muito melhor, mas não é ao vivo!!!

[marock2020]

No disco nao achei a musica interessante, mas essa versao ao vivo ficou ótima. Lembro desse clipe no programa Som Pop, na TV Cultura.

[paulobost]

CATERVA!

[Gofalemic123]

Heep is dead. Uriah Heep died back in 1976 with David Byron, and maybe about two good albums with john lawton.... but lets face reality, nothing will compare to original Uraih Heep... Heep were an awesome band....

[TheMindfx]

CATERVA

[youngmindedman]

i might be loco, but my fav.album of them is 1972 Demons & wizards.

[Johnnygirl1971]

This version of UH is generic 80's rock!!!!

[doctorlecter303]

great band and I like this track very much. but the quality of the video....very poor

[victimsofthefuture]

I enjoy most eras of Uriah Heep, but the period from their first Album up until Return To Fantasy is their best period. 1970-1975

[AlexGlamer]

Yeah! Heep rocks in all eras!

[ROCKKERFAT]

This is music!!!! a plent of energy. The best Uriah Heep song of all time in my opinion.

REMEMBER: ROCK´n´ ROLL is ETERNAL!!!!

[cheyen123]

Have to say that today's Uriah Heep are much better than this one. It cannot be compared.

This music is good to sit in a pub, drink beer and listen to it in the background. Nothing more.

On th other hand today's Uriah Heep is a first class band.

[sassandlace]

you are talkin out your ass. NOBODY compares to the original URIAH HEEP.

[cheyen123]

Why are you so nervy ? That kind of music can be compared to Sweet, Smokie etc. when several would-be handsome boys play music that is about nothing.

Face the reality ! This song is today absolutely unknown compared to July Morning. Gypsy etc. that are first class hits forever.

[Montin83]

Sloman and Goalby were both damn good. I love Conquest album, and i love the Peter Goalby Era. Uriah Heep with Heavy-Metal vocalist Bernie Shaw = Shit. Uriah Heep Died(for me) in the year 1985. Bernie Shaw ruined everything, like Z. Wylde did to Ozzy Osbourne. Thank you and have a nice day.

[NETSTOCK2009]

この曲だけ聴くとジョン・スローマンが神に見える

YouTubeのHEEP動画ではこれが一番カッコいい

[fbendz]

I hate the Conquest album. It's Heep's second worst after Different World. But John Sloman deserves credit for his vocals and stage performance. This version of Think it over is much better than the one on Abominog, even though the Sloman period was their worst.

[kenhensleyfan]

this is the best song by sloman- this version appeard on a single and later rerecorded for the aboninog. this version also appears on Uriah Heep´s rarites

[TheChagela]

Why did Lawton left?

he was not byron but much better than his followers

[paulodomic]

Excellent addition! I like this version of Think It Over, better than Goalby's.

[gorgonslave]

Why Peter Goalby Replaced this John Sloman guy is beyond me, here we see John Sloman essentially doing what Ken Hensley should have done all along. Fronting the band on lead vocal and making you shit yourself with smokin leads.

[Dieterle112]

das ist nicht mehr uriah heep....

[otvintaband]

Bullshit...the USA market oriented albums (1980s) are like fast food for yankees. UH was ended in 1977.

[rythmhawk]

Great version...Different from the album and i think this not the singer that sang in ABOMINOG

[Imparatu]

Conquest is a jewel.

Pity for the underated state.

Not fair at all.

But God love them.

The new UH album is beyond any kind of expectations.

Unbelieveble.

Check it out.

[programatrilhadorock]

mui..bom

[180888scottyt]

sloman is good but abominog is one awesome album

[scottienepas99]

on keyboards is that greg dechert???

[SabuPtolemy]

Yeah, that's Gregg Dechert on keys. He and Sloman were in a band called PULSAR in Canada in '79. When Hensley pitched a fit in late '80 and Heep needed a keyboard player John suggested his buddy Gregg. In fact, 'No Return', 'Won't Have To Wait Too Long' , and 'My Joanna Needs Tuning' ('Think It Over' b-side) are all songs Sloman and Dechert wrote with PULSAR. 'My Joanna Needs Tuning' is the only Heep studio recording with Dechert on keys.

[MCCOYHITMAKER]

Yes,Peter goulby sings much better.

[palog]

John Sloman, Mick Box, Gregg Dechert, Trevor Bolder, Chris Slade is in this line of the song.

John Sloman is much better singer than Peter Goalby. For me personally. This album (conquest) still has a Uriah Heep sound (spirit of UH), but abominog with peter goalby not.

[ladiezroom]

was this song intended to be released on "conquest"? as far as i remember, hensley left during the "conquest" - tour , so this must have been in between that and "abominog"? i like the "conquest"-album, too!

[SabuPtolemy]

I don't know if they already had the song written for 'Conquest' but they didn't record the 'Think It Over' 7" until Gregg Dechert was in the band. This was recorded ca. either late 80's or very early '81.

[Godza1602]

Yes! Conquest is last good album from UH! No Hensley No Heep for me! Hensley was heart and soul of UH!

[brox68]

I prefer the Pete Goalby "Abominog" version...never really liked John Slomans voice to be honest.

[gabrielhalabi]

what is the name of the bassist?

[cpthook1971]

it's Trevor Bolder. he's in the band since 1976/77 and left only for a few years in the mid 80s.

[PAULLONDEN]

Another shite incarnation,

of a once Great band.

The beast just won't lay down and die.

[54spiritedwill54]

very nice! great singer and a master of vocals flexing...

[kompekac]

drummer name is Chris Slade!!!

[hadd13]

I agree

[hadd13]

I was commenting on ahoyear's comment that his name is Peter not Mark

[dzzzt69]

How the heck did Peter Goalby lose the previous audition to this guy?!! He is good, but he sounds like a better guitarist than singer. Goalby's voice BOOMS! But hey, all Heep rocks!

[Pete79111]

Uriah Heep rerecorder this song "Think it over" for their Abominog album with the two guys Kerslake and Daisley who became the first line-up of Ozzys first Solo-Band ...Kerslake also returned to Heep for Abominog and played with them till 2006 ... this year he retired from the Rock Music Business

[Pete79111]

... these are NOT tho guys from later Ozzys Blizard of Ozz ...

here on drums is Chris Later (later AC/DC)

and on bass Trevor Bolder (still in Uriah Heep but left the band after this recording to join Wishbone Ash but returned some years later to Heep).

[rockaires]

the song is very good, the sound very poor. UH forever.

[JoeyPNB]

This is two of the guys in Ozzy's first band; Bob Daisly and Lee Kerslake (Blizzard of Oz)

[ccbloody]

Whoever the frontman is. Uriah Heep's song always hit me on my mind.

[whoopdeedoodude]

Uriah Heep are great! i love this song and my favevorite album is conquest, i think this song is in there

[ahoyear]

It's in Abominog original vocal by Mark Golby. Great album by Heep in late 70s-early 80s. i don't like Conquest that much.

[hadd13]

peter Golaby

[nhesteria]

fantastic show uriah heep um dos melhores rocks q eu j´´a ouvi

[mytvsettowatch]

Everything from Uriah Heep is Great!!!,

I mean... all the different line-ups!

And EVERY album has something worth keeping!!!

Long Live Uriah Heep!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Floydika]

Looool.

Ok I understand your love for 80's Heep and 80's music.

But your nazi stuff makes me laugh. Only unintelligent person can believe in all that nazi shit. :D I can't understand how can you hate people, because they have different skin color. Ah well...whatever works for you, dude. :D Cheers

[jcdenton7]

Um, is this edited? I think the beginning is cut somewhat (and probably the whole song in parts). Still great, though.

[9exodus1]

gregg dechert does his work well. and sloman is just great.

[Fischi1970]

This period of Heep and especially the work SLOMAN delivered ist still extremely underrated. It is indeed one of the best Heep LP´s ever. I´m really doubting if there has beeen a better one since then...?! Maybe it´s been just to "Progressive2 for some Hardrock blockheads?!

[Floydika]

You are very missed here Ken Hensley. :P

[RockbertoRocks]

Hensley was antiquated. When he left, Uriah Heep took a step further. The band became more commercial, but better quality with John Sinclair.

[DUJANCOURT]

Their worst line-up and "Conquest" their worst album ever...forget this period way down quick!

[BB99NO]

Went to this tour in oct 1980 at the free trade manchester.Backed by Samson (Bruce Dickinson & Thunderstick with the can of lager) and spider(threw lollies into audience for support).Nearly died with all the dry ice on Magician's birthday.

[marcotukoff]

yes, trevor bolder is in it!

[katnpaulha]

We love ya Ken...

[Achenato]

I think that's Dave Mustaine on vocals...

That's certainly not Bob Daisely on Bass. That's for sure. I love how they dumbed down the bass line.

I do like this version though for some reason though.

[heepfan]

hi i have put Blood Red Roses on youtub

[Capitao70]

John Sloman-Vocals

Mick Box-Guitar

Chris Slade-Drums

Trevor Bolder-Bass

John Sinclair-Keys ,I'm not sure!!!

This song is bonus track from Conquest Cd!!

[heepfan]

Greg Dechert is on keyboards

[mikew4001]

No, you're wrong, it's Gregg Dechert on keyboards, a short lived line-up that lasted from summer 1980 to spring 1981 after Ken Hensley had left the group. They only released this single in early 1981 and did some TV appearances and smaller concerts in Britain. In April 1981 all members except for Mick Box of course left the group, and a new line-up was launched in late 1981 feat. John Sinclair on keyboards.

[Achenato]

Hey Capitao70, can you post the mp3 track of this version from the Conquest Cd? The audio of the video is weak.

[mc3drums]

I wonder if those north drums are still around

[maxrobinson]

Is the keyboard player Greg Dechert ?

[heepfan]

yes it is

[181649]

rubish

[Fischi1970]

Looking back, now that thousands of Heep albums followed this - oh so bad album- everyone has to say, that it´s much better than it has been considered these times. For me it´s even in the top ten , with a very special charme and a great singer!

[Deeperpurple1952]

I'd almost forgotten about " Dry Ice " lol

[policron]

please return to the fantasy!!!

[biribikan]

that's not uriah heep anymore

sounds like an ordinary american 80's rock band (nothing against, anyway)

[noeziti]

nice!!!

[RockbertoRocks]

Sloman was a great singer, too bad he didn't linger. Pete Goalby then did an excellent job singing. When Hensley left, Uriah Heep made two of its best albums ever: Abominog and Head First. Hensley had stopped writing good music for years by then. 1982 was a turnaround towards AOR, but Uriah Heep became an even better band with John Sinclair (keys), Goalby (V), Bob Daisley (bass), Lee Kerslake (drums) and Mick Box ripping it!

[paulodomic]

John Sloman did a great job in Conquest, I really like this album and this song should've been part of the album, not only a single. Nice video, my first time seeing Sloman moving on a creen.

[Kdegruytere]

Sloman did have the looks of a rock Singer for sure and if you listen enough to the Conquest Album, you could like it. He did some tricks with the voice that the previous singers didn't do but wasn't it as well Hensley that wanted to follow a more commercial path with Heep and thus wanted something different? So it's normal that every album is not like the previous ones. "Out on the streets" and "Feelings" are gr8t tunes on the conquest album.

[GreekPicker]

They should have changed their name after Hensley left. Ken Hensley was Uriah Heep. He always had the magic touch that made the Heep sound so special!

[Floydika]

Couldn't agree more!

[Doobie1975]

I don't think that Sloman is that bad and I do agree with you that Heep wasn't the same without Hensley, I totally agree with you that Hensley was the brains and the wizard of Uriah Heep and his songwriting is the reason why I love Uriah Heep.

[Floydika]

Ah... I dont realy like Sloman ...

Byron and Lawton were better...

It is a shame that Hensley left becouse of Sloman,

Hensley was the real wizard of Uriah Heep :D They were never the same without him... Demons and wizards will always be their best album!

[BigSCTVfan]

Ken Hensley was a pussy that became a Christian rock musician or something like that. Plus during his Heep years he was always writing those pretentious ballads while the other members were wanting to rock out. You could tell that Hensley had more in common with Dennis DeYoung or the members of Kansas than with anything resembling heavy metal. When he left Uriah Heep, it was good riddance.

[ZILCH7]

hey Heepfan ...what a find !! Pete Goalby adds alot to the song on the Abominog album ,but Sloman ,who wrote this with Trevor Bolder ,does a cracking version.Great stuff!!

[donniegarrison]

Is that Chris Slade with hair?? And what a funky looking drumkit.

[chsouto]

Conquest is one of my favorite albuns from Uriah Heep. John Sloman was an excellent vocalist, pity they did not work together for long.

[donniegarrison]

Agreed. All great songs on it. Actually Peter Goalby sang this on Abonimog.

[chsouto]

Yup, this version was released as a single and is on the remastered and expanded version of Conquest :-).

[Doobie1975]

I was very skeptical of hearing John Sloman singing for Uriah Heep and I was surprised how good this song was, while John Sloman isn't no John Lawton or David Byron I actually think he's a good singer, it's a shame that Ken Hensley didn't get along well with John Sloman.

[UUltra707]

Sloman,grat singer and a master of vocals flexing...

[Pete79111]

Great video ... wish Heep would have cut more with Sloman past Hensley ... and wished I would have seen Heep with Sloman live ... great guitar Riffs and very explosive bass work from Bolder in these years ....
