Diamond Lights: The Story Of Diamond Head. It would probably make people aware of them, especially if they settled their differences and brought Sean back
Just think......if Colin Kimberley hadn't left and they got in a slap bass monstrosity and gulp a keyboard player what they could have achieved.Brilliant band brilliant track,was fortunate to see them live many times , always fantastic.
They had a keyboard player and it worked out miserably. Slap bass? No thanks. Leave that for joke bands like Primus and Chili Peppers. I like more serious music, not the Seinfeld theme.
As far as i can hear, this is the same lyrics as the studio version. They performed and recorded it live at BBC sometime in 1981 i think where the song is much longer with an intro, guitar solo and different lyrics. I am very interested to find the lyrics for both versions. Anybody can help?
I'm a bit of a youngin, but I was very fortunate to see them during their only performance in America back in 2002. I got to hang with them for 3 days, interview Sean, and Karl got wind of my plans to head out to Cali a few weeks later and invited my g/f and I to dinner at his house. I'll never forget those few weeks. DH were the best thing in rock in my opinion.
It's too bad that this track on the Borrowed Time remaster sounded terrible. I can't even listen to it.

Doesn't matter who inspired who... Metallica pays much respect by covering Diamond Head songs, bringing in cash and helping out with promotion.

Holy shit, I've never heard a live version of this before. Looks like Diamond Head had a damn good gig that night.
