Lobby Loyde the ultimate music enthusiast

[calripkenfan8]

Lobby Loyde is fuckin amazing

[behindblueeyes1968]

Hell yeah!

[phoenixcube]

just been listening to the album, with extra tracks, issued on Aztec music, a fine label dedicated to australian music, this one is magnificent...

[lobbyspurpleaztecs]

embryonic line up of the Coloured Balls, probably mid 1972. Lobby Loyde, guitar(of course), with what looks to be John Miglands (bass), possibly Andrew Fordham (guitar)( Fordham left the Balls after Sunbury '73 - replaced by "Bobsie" Millar) and ? on drums.

[littlewonderpro]

Great track.

[GlenGamble]

Thta is NOT Phil Rudd on drums.

[aronpost]

tuff az

[pharmajoe990]

FUCKING BONZA

[Malcolmsgretsch]

wow thats phil rudd on drums. i thought angry anderson from rose tatoo was in this band also.

[guitar16]

thanks to G.A.S.H. for covering this back in the 80's! or else i wouldnt of known about this great band

[Tonyp68]

0:12 looks like Bon Scot when he was @ Fraternity.

@ least it could be him for the Balls, Aztecs and all those band got up with eachother, and played all along if somebody couldn't come.

[rplende]

Does anyone have a video or audio of the early aussie 70's band called Lotus? They had a song called Lotus 1 that was pretty good from memory. They were on a music program called Happening 70 or 71 or 72. I can't remember which year but it was one of these.

[dharmaseed]

That song is on 'Golden Miles, Austrailian Progressive Rock', which I have.

[ArchieMoore]

Saw "working man's boogie" on Rage's retro special last night!

Fantastic!

[OzTvAgogo]

Damn I missed that. All I saw was that dodgy Ray Burgess "Flashez" show that was on a bit later.

[giantglory81]

yeah.. me too. thats why im here looking at this now. I've never heard them before last night! There is so much good Aussie music from back in the day, its real shame the Aus music scene is so lame now....

I need to find these guys on vinyl or cd....

[Edward681]

I just found this band by mistake and glad i did! Their frickin amazing!!! How did i not know about them?!?!?!?

[motoxbuddy]

Unless you were a kid in the early seventies you wouldnt have heard of them .The Music establishment has forgotten them and many others from the era.They dont exactly fit into the Golden Oldies scene and they are too old to make in with the modern heavy metal fans.

[BeefBoullionaire]

This is what's great about the internet. You hear of a band once, and you can look them up before you forget their name, and soon you've listened to a ton of songs and watched a ton of videos and read all about their history. In the past, it was hit and miss as far as what you were exposed to. I'm from Canada, so I'd never heard of the Balls or the Aztecs, but after seeing them mentioned in the recent AC/DC bio book, I was curious. I gotta say, there was a cool scene in Australia back then.

[ballrub]

wow! this is sweet. never heard it before!!

[rplende]

It's infectious isn't it? Brilliant talent.

[toecutterr6]

Love this!

[67675656565655656565]

hahaha the drummer is stoned

[jjmccann]

what happened to those Lobby interviews not long before he died?,there was about 2 hrs worth with some young fella interviewing him,i cant find em no more

[xstickyx]

i dunno about videos but you can find a cool text in Unbelievably Bad zine issue 5 i think?

[jjmccann]

Yeah but wheres the rest of it?

[OzTvAgogo]

Maybe someone from the ABC would care to explain that one.

[rplende]

You just can't watch this once and not go back for more serves. I feel sorry for any of those rock fans that never stumble upon this video, they are deprived of top level aussie rock!

[swablr54]

America in the 50s, UK in the 60s,Oz in the 70s,amazing times,saw the balls at sunbury, at the showgrownds,at Q-club,great memories

[Ledvolta]

this stuff is so hard to find. :(

[typicalaussiebloke]

This is awesome music, I've got to get a hold of some Coloured Balls albums, 70s Aussie rock kicks arse!!!Lobby Loyde is a guitar legend!!!

[rplende]

Top Aussie Rock. What a brilliant song Human Being is... Also Liberate Rock! Go Lobby and the Coloured Balls.

[mondrenal]

balls to the wall! Never the same after I heard coloured balls

[tinshedmusic]

john miglans,bass,hailed from sunbury,died early 80s .buried in sunbury.r.i.p. jonno...watch the head angus did!

[Fawksian21]

I wish we'd have gotten more of this particular music released in America. Even today, all you can find is expensive imports.

[stringrip]

RE# fawksian21, Does Lobby Loyde have much recognition in America ?.

[Fawksian21]

None outside of serious music circles. I only found out about him because David Fricke did a column on his death for "Rolling Stone". I've never seen his music in any sort of record shop or online download service, though.

[stringrip]

Right , thanks . I did read that Kurt Cobain was supposed to have owned one of his ablums.

[waggafletcher]

Henry Rollins apparently owns all of Lobby's albums. I've fair dinkum been living under a rock for 36 years! Although I had heard of Lobby Loyde, I'd never heard his music. Devil's Disciple is awsome. I can hear a little Malcolm Young/ACDC in there. Phil Rudd had a stint with the Coloured Balls in the early 70s.

[67675656565655656565]

also kurt cobain was influenced by him aswell

[damo3805]

Lobby in full flight, thanks for this mate.

[bbgun1]

This rocks my socks off!

I could watch it over and over and over again...

[Heavypsychman]

WOW this is Lobby Loyd & the coloured balls people!

Too much to take in. It's of the Ballpower LP 1973
