@Bloodyass1300 Listen little girl, stop sending me gay personal messages. get a life and stop lying you give the good Aussies a bad name. Also little girl you have not been in a band for 35 yrs. You are just another wannabe. I see you like words like fag. Just cause you are doesn't mean the whole world is you sissy lala. I guess that is were the phrase down under came from. Maybe you should come up for air once in a while. I heard you play the skin flute very well. That is not a music instrument
@ludwig770 Sorry No. We were very young and were into partying and not recording and anyway in those days we were not as tech. as today. If I had video recorded my life from 1966 until today it would be. . . well . . ah . .startling. We simply did not have the facilities of the internet until about 1993 when the dot com was invented. ( when network solutions in the US began selling dot com domains ) We lived a simple life with no internet.
This is one of the 70'bands that knocked off other bands in the 70's. They had NO future, No sales and No one card who even heard of them. One of the top knockoff artists of the 70's!
What do you mean by knock off? If you mean they ripped off other bands, you are dead wrong. They were essentially a blues band, and then when John Baxter joined he brought in his incredible guitar style that he developed simply as a reaction to how much he disliked the 12-bar blues pattern. Their sound grew out of organic jamming, both on stage and in the studio. That and Pete Wells went on to be a VERY influential mover and shaker in Aussie music history.
@theuglysoldier You must be deaf. I stated the facts besides they sucked so bad they just went away never too be heard from again. Being a knockoff band with no talent trying to cash in just didn't work did it.
You didn't state anything, you just said "they were knockoffs!" that isn't the "facts" and you didn't back them up.
And actually, they have had quite the influence on both the Aussie metal and punk scenes, and Dave Tice (singer) continues to draw large crowds with his new tunes. And as I said, Pete Wells formed Rose Tattoo - if that isn't a successful band, I don't know what is.
@theuglysoldier I see no need to list the bands this band has knocked off. I will let you do that as you can't miss them when you listen to these knockoffs. As for Rose Tattoo, you never mentioned them and i agree They are a good band, could have been bigger than AC/DC but they screwed up. Pete Wells forming Rose Tattoo makes my point on Buffalo being knockoff artist crystal clear. He left and formed his own band, a real band. I have nothing else to say about Buffalo but always will RT.
@Bloodaxe1300 I see you are a stupid little girl. You must be deaf also. Why ask me try a hearing aid. This album could be found in the 99 cent bin. Yip, no one cared for these rip offs. BTW, this so called song is one reason they sucked period.
Buffalo que se puede decir de esta banda, es demasiado,son excelentes tanto metalera como sicodelica ,Son excelentes ,freedom, the prophet y pare de contar ,nada que ver con lo de estos tiempos,demasido cagante Cesar cartaya-venezuela
@musicmovie240 Your thunder from down under came from AC/DC and Rose Tattoo. So feel fortunate on that. Without them you Aussies had/have nothing. Oh wait you have Oliva Newton John. Now that is some heavy thunder from down under.
Gezzz I have the remastered CD of this album bought through rare records. They use to play at Taren Point Y.M.C.A back in the 70's. about the fan who wrote about Finch they played at Cronula High whilst Owen Orford (vocals) was a student teacher and Bob Spencer was lead guitarist and Bob was still a student Those were the days....
These boyz an' this song inspired us to call our first band Shylock in 1974....How friggin' good was the artwork on this album.....We did a mean version of King's Cross Ladie's too lol... Our guitarist played marathon solos like Baxter too...Fair dinkum you could walk off the stage, down to the bottlo get a few tallies and get back while he was on the same song....I was a very patient vocalist too, but hey we rocked it up!! Well done Ozblues21
Este grupo lo escuche en Bar Mahos en Costa Rica, Gravilias, por primera vez, un amigo que tiene el L.P. de vinil y lo paso a cd. exelente grupo australiano.
@SpyridonKaprinis they 1st came to my attention years ago when I was a kid holding my mums hand when they came past on the back of a semi trailer playing this kind of stuff in a parade in Parramatta (Sydney) years ago, blew me away as a kid and they deserve to be exposed to the world years later, real Australian raw heavy rock just the way we like it down here!!!!
@MLGxSLasH mate I have had this Album for close to 30 years and I'm so glad to have shared it on youTube, it has blown me away with the response and hits it has had from just a simple little project, but hey this band deserves it as they were really that good
symptom of the universe, into the void, and wheels of confusion got my vote for heaviest songs...not to mention black sabbath, under the sun, sweet leaf, cornucopia, supernaut, after forever, children of the grave.....etc.
@johnsmith99ify it's subjective. I'd put Sabbath over Priest in heaviness anyday, but that's just me. Dissident aggressor fucking balls to the wall for 77 for sure tho.
@mikexlong I pretty much agree but I think Dissident Aggressor was the heaviest sond in the seventies. Rob Halford says the first metal band was Sabbath
but the first band to call themselves metal was Judas Priest.
I have checked out all these supposed metal bands that predate sabbath, none were as good, none were as popular and most only had a song or two that mas metal.
@johnsmith99ify the assertion that the song black sabbath was the birth of heavy metal is pretty much correct...nothing on earth was that freaking heavy at that time, it went beyond heavy rock. the song was pure dread, and the riff was pure murder. I mean in terms of evil sounding riffs nothing has ever topped that one. it's so simple but so perfect.
@mikexlong I agree, the song "Black Sabbath" was more definitive of what heavy metal is than anyother song before that or perhaps even to the present day but
I will give credit where credit is do, in terms of loud raw heaviness Blue Cheer had a couple of songs befor that. There is more to being heavy than fuzz, distortion and loudness though.
@johnsmith99ify yeah the first two albums were definately a proto-type for all this heavy metal madness...but it was still just sex, drugs and rock 'n roll albeit in brutal caveman fashion lol.
If so I don't know them all that well, I have only heard several of their songs on youtube. If you are talking about Black Sabbath I would say they took a really heavy
blues based hard rock sound and took it to into a realm which no-one had yet entered "heavy metal".
This is so underrated. I've never even heard of this band before. But just looking at the year and listening to the music reveals that they're well ahead of their time and definitively influenced heavy metal. Great music, if you like this... listen to sir lord baltimore... they sound sorta similar and theyre underated as well.
This is Buffalo at their best. They could have been really great, but after this album they sacked guitarist Baxter and it was all downhill from there.
It's true they sounded a lot like Sabbath, but they did so in a way which to my ears doesn't sound simply derivative.
AS for Iommi ripping these guys off,thats bs.These guys are obviously trying very hard to sound like Sabbath,I have heard many sabbath riffs in their songs too. I think its a mutual admiration kinda thing. all that really matters is they friggin rock !!!!
Neither band was aware of the other. They happened at pretty much the same time, and Buffalo have stated they had no idea about Sabbath until after having put this record out.
I do never want to bad mouth my favorite band sabbath but This is a little like system of the universe which came out in 75. this came out two years before I think tony my have been influnced by these guys. For they did tour in early 70s. I could be wrong but you have to think that bands that our on the road together influnce one another.
Now i have all of these guys albums on the original spiral vertigo label, & i actually seen these guys at my high school end of year party,it was a warm up gig for them B4 they started on the real gigs,they were insanely heavy & loud as i remember
That was the idea then, to be highly controversial. The liner notes on the Aztec music release says it all about that issue.Should get it if you have not already.They wanted to have people stop and say" Wow, look at that, that has to be good having a cover like that"as lead vocalist Dave Tice remembers. Also said remembers the boss at vertigo saying " be careful what you decide to put on the cover",as he was in New York at the time, and they chose that one, must of been somewhat of a shock there
Jellybeantiger said it the best " This is when music was music",rather than the noise we hear today.Though there is good material and bad material for every age of music, and genere.crazeehorse,this explains that there were different styles in the 70's that are seen in todays music,sorry that which is differemnt is misunderstoiod in this way.If you dont like it, dont listen to it.But, for the rest of us, this is sheer bliss.Anyone have the live 72' recording of Shylock from the Sydney concert?
Brothers and Sisters , let us not forget the Bass player of this band... the Mighty Pete Wells (R.I.P.)...who went on to play the meanest slide guitar for Rose Tattoo ,another of australia's finest rock and roll exports..Rock On!!!
That's some heavy rockin' right there daddy! These guys have come up quite a few times in my recent searches for early metal bands. One of the best bands I discovered about two years ago is Sir Lord Baltimore. Now I've heard THESE GUYS! Just makes you wanna bang your head or trash your bedroom! When you actually know who the character Shylock is, it makes the song all the more POTENT!
this does rock, I like the vocals, nothing more disappointing then when the singer doesn't own up to a track or bands toughness.. em, and who is this shylock u speak of?
buffalo and the saints - best things to come out of Australia. Funny how things progress tho - the guy out of buffalo ended up in angry anderson's band - who in turn did the wedding song for kylie and jason ha ha ha
Get Volcanic Rock, then Dead Forever. Then "Only Want you for your body". This band were the greatest hard rock band this country ever produced. John Baxter was the meanest mother fucking guitarist and Dave the bluesiest vocalist. Shit, just get all 5 albums and blow your fucking head off..
michaelzureck: I hear the Chris Cornell thing too. It would have been easy for Cornell to copy this singer's sound and make money doing it in the US, where Buffalo is practically unknown. Maybe I'm being cynical.
This is some of the most incredible stuff I've heard in a long time. My band is heavily influenced by Purple, Sabbath, Heep, Zepplin, UFO...essentially first wave metal. I've been meaning to check these guys out since a friend told me about them. I didn't expect something as fucking incredible as this...I must get my hands on these records.
Yup... me too, absofuckinglutely the best concert... shame I don't remember much about Buffalo, I've still got Tony Iommi in my head, internal injuries from Bill Wards drumming and Geezers bass... and Ozzy, fuck me, he just didn't stop, when he wasn't singing he just bounced all over that stage like a crazy man :)~ awesome... and he wasn't too bad a few months ago here at Homebush (for an old bloke :)~~~
I was talking to someone about Buffalo at the Ozzy concert this year, and he said that DT owned a pub, or worked in one...??? somewhere on the way to Hornsby?????
I used to watch Buffalo when living in Sydney in the 70's. Love their Little Queenie rendition. Got all their albums. Dave Tice is the ultimate ballsy vocalist.
when i was about 17 yrs old I saw buffalo at the sundowner hotel at punchbowl in sydney that was 1978, dave tice was wearing a guitar lapel badge.I ALSO SAW ROSE TATTOO,GOLDRUSH,ANGELS, cyril b bunter,

Sabbath did not rip off the whole song but there is a riff in the middle of the guitar solo, the heaviest part of the dong.
iommi ripped it off and the song symptom of the univererse is based around that, it is exactly the same as the main riff in the sabbath song.
check out "brother can you spare a dime" on youtube iommi sort of ripped that off but did it in a very cool way.
He takes a blues horn thing and turns it into the heavies riff out there at the time in
into the void.

Sounds like a cross between Kyuss & Soundgarden. In 1973. Cool.

Jellybeantiger said it the best " This is when music was music",rather than the noise we hear today.Though there is good material and bad material for every age of music, and genere.crazeehorse,this explains that there were different styles in the 70's that are seen in todays music,sorry that which is differemnt is misunderstoiod in this way.If you dont like it, dont listen to it.But, for the rest of us, this is sheer bliss.Anyone have the live 72' recording of Shylock from the Sydney concert?

redshaftedflicker 3 years ago
That's some heavy rockin' right there daddy! These guys have come up quite a few times in my recent searches for early metal bands. One of the best bands I discovered about two years ago is Sir Lord Baltimore. Now I've heard THESE GUYS! Just makes you wanna bang your head or trash your bedroom! When you actually know who the character Shylock is, it makes the song all the more POTENT!

this does rock, I like the vocals, nothing more disappointing then when the singer doesn't own up to a track or bands toughness.. em, and who is this shylock u speak of?

Nicely put together clip,thanks for making it and putting Buffalo out there on youtube, they were Australia's BEST heavy band..
I used to see them at the Taren Point Youth Centre dances around 1975, they inspired me to become a muso...
Dave Tice signed my Buffalo albums and Gibson SG case about 2005, top bloke too !
Buy their CDs !

buffalo and the saints - best things to come out of Australia. Funny how things progress tho - the guy out of buffalo ended up in angry anderson's band - who in turn did the wedding song for kylie and jason ha ha ha

Get Volcanic Rock, then Dead Forever. Then "Only Want you for your body". This band were the greatest hard rock band this country ever produced. John Baxter was the meanest mother fucking guitarist and Dave the bluesiest vocalist. Shit, just get all 5 albums and blow your fucking head off..

adebicki 3 years ago
Call me crazy, but could this have been an early Chris Cornell influence? He sounds a lot like Dave Tice to me.
michaelzureck 3 years ago
michaelzureck: I hear the Chris Cornell thing too. It would have been easy for Cornell to copy this singer's sound and make money doing it in the US, where Buffalo is practically unknown. Maybe I'm being cynical.

yes this is great earley 70s Australian rock and good to see young bands influenced by it.
OzBlues21 3 years ago
This is some of the most incredible stuff I've heard in a long time. My band is heavily influenced by Purple, Sabbath, Heep, Zepplin, UFO...essentially first wave metal. I've been meaning to check these guys out since a friend told me about them. I didn't expect something as fucking incredible as this...I must get my hands on these records.

Yup... me too, absofuckinglutely the best concert... shame I don't remember much about Buffalo, I've still got Tony Iommi in my head, internal injuries from Bill Wards drumming and Geezers bass... and Ozzy, fuck me, he just didn't stop, when he wasn't singing he just bounced all over that stage like a crazy man :)~ awesome... and he wasn't too bad a few months ago here at Homebush (for an old bloke :)~~~

I used to watch Buffalo when living in Sydney in the 70's. Love their Little Queenie rendition. Got all their albums. Dave Tice is the ultimate ballsy vocalist.
