@mtripp04 Its well known its intentional. I'm sure if you asked James that in person he'd say yeah. They were big fans of Diamond Head and even covered this song live back in '82 I believe. So you know James has had his hands on this song's riffage before. Probably an homage.
Like the riff, the solos in this song are equally kickass. The second slower one even without Harris' ooh aah actually expresses sex best musically. And the last one of-course implies the climax of a 9 min bj.
i agree ,sabbath was the base and main root of rock and always will be,if it wasnt for them you wouldnt have the rest,cus only sabbath balls in their day lol
@joolzy616 They were the beginning of metal, but definitely not rock. You really have no idea what you're talking about if you think Sabbath created ROCK.
@lyon1535 Actually the band that basically created the beginning of metal was a band called Sir Lord Baltimore, you'll find some songs of their's in my playlist called Psychedelic/Proto-punk/Hard rock
millions of supposed fans of metallica even know one album of diamond head. and they probably don't know so much about sabbath or any band that served as inspiration for metallica. well, leastwise the most of them.
@hellfirenecrotrash Its pretty sad too, since I don't know many people who know who Venom is, and even less who know Diamond Head, and Metallica got inspiration from both bands.
I saw them live in Cork (Ireland) last night and they played this album in their entirety. Never thought I'd see something top Megadeth playing Rust In Peace through but Diamond Head did it for me!
Diamond Head is one of my all time favorites! So goddamn underrated! I fucking hate how these damn noobs can't talk about them without referring to gay ass Metalli-crap!
Overall their career is not better than priest or maiden but, in my opinion, this album is as good or better than anything the two aformentioned bands released.
some of my favorite guitar solo's are on this song, even though one is probably lifted from another excellent old school track, UFO - Love To Love. check out the last solo bits from both songs. it's simply sad how underrated DH are when in fact they are one of the pioneers of NWOBHM and speed/thrash metal and have obviously influenced more bands than i can list here in just one comment.
0:52 I feel like the Calvary is coming! DIAMOND HEAD IS #1 in my book on NWOBHMetal I mean come on of course there not better than Maiden or Priest but Diamond Head was the Deep Purple of the bunch. the Sabbath Zeppelin crowd era just had Purple on the back burner because of style and edge, people were scared to play on stage with Purple and I can imagine it being similar with Diamond Head. just my opinion take it or METAL UP YOUR ASS PUNKS! DIAMOND HEAD YES I AM EVIL!!! \m/
Irony apart, without this amazing band Metallica would have never seen the day of light!! (and still most people think that "Am I Evil" was written by Metallica...)
@skaterdouche4 Yeah, and I find it weird when I say it's by Diamond Head and they answer like that: really dude, are you sure on 100% Am I Evil is not Metallica's? And I: Well, check it on the "Lightning To The Nations" album written in 1980...
I think the problem is that this band has been - and still is - very, very underestimated. But despite all, this will always be my favourite band from NWOBHM!
@TempusDiei yeah this band is so underrated i say these guys should be bigger than other bands like slipknot, and all those guys who am i evils by metallica are a bunch of fanboys imo
@TempusDiei how can people this Am I Evil was written by Metallica ?????? I am hardcore Metallica fan, and i knew they didnt wrote it.... i know, no one cares about my crap but im really bored so i just told you that
@TempusDiei you better beleave that shit talk about some soul metal rocking bloody hell posers will always be clueless just keep the faith to you oun path and the will evetualy die or understand lol fuk em enyway
@Mlajen ufff pobre Sabbath,zeppelin , judas son los padrinos de lo que escuchas asi que mas respeto si supieras de musica te darias cuenta que zep y sabbath son inspiracion!!!!
@sprimusp I personally only like zep's guitarist paige, I think the rest sucks and Diamond Head blows them away......I feel there is more emotion in DH then LZ is why.
