Fantastic love the way they really enjoy them selves.it reminds me of the dog the dog he,s at it again by caravan.not as heavy but youll all know what I mean .check it out
here"s some funny shit, my daughter (28) came over to my house the other day and found me in the basement ,"dadtown" listoning to some old budgie, well she sits down and started singing along with the music,after the song was over she woundered why she knew the words to the song she never heard before. had to laugh as I told her the when she was a baby she would not go to sleep until she heard "I an't no mountian for you to climb on"and her mom would sing it to her. GOOD SHIT don"t ya think?
I bought The Bandolier vinyl Album At A Flea Market In Mexico City DF. It,s called El Chopo, And It,s all about the rock, Back in 88. I know for a fact it still exists And you can Find Stuff There from Vinyls To Autographed Garments Of any Genre of rock. Tats, food, beer stands. What ever you can imagine thast has to do with ROCK! But the most important thing? Vintage....
Want 2c them sometime. Never had the pleasure before. I've album "Bandolier" since it came out and still listen to it frequently. Gess it's a kind of classic. I don't have that with most of todays music; starts to bore pretty soon. This is pure rock as it should be.
@bodgie247 curious to know why Budgie wasn't ever afforded the opportunity to open or perform at a single Metallica show in the UK or am I wrong on this matter can anybody enlighten me then please..
So I ask out of complete respect because I have never heard such thing happening and if one day Burke Shelly is able to perform I hope that the powers that be do make it happen because the history books demand it....
I love Budgie but in Ireland their CD's are nearly impossible to find, I had to resort to a best of! I always check my favorite record haunts in Dublin but so far no joy. I would also love to see these guys live, anyone have anyone know if they'll come to Ireland? Hell I'd even get the boat to Wales if they play there.
These guys were unique and awesome! Kind of a forerunner to Rush if you think about it. A dear friend of mine,who lost his life in a car crash in 1978,turned me on to these guys. I shall be forever greatful.
@MissEgasMoniz maybe you can show us all how it shold be done? but then again you don'''t have an ear for great music, but that"s just my opinion and it don"t matter to you cause you havn"t the talent that it would take to out shine one of the Best bands EVER! .
@jlhack1964 I own many Budgie records and I appreciate the fact they kept on going when most bands would have given up. But c'mon.....most of their recordings suffered from terrible production and a ton of poor songs. I enjoy Budgie every now and then but I am under no illusion about their talents - which were second rate at best.
@MangaRED Budgie were marginally ok as far any rock band went. The terrible production and then the terrible songs later on put them on a lower tier in music history. Good blokes 'n' all and always a fun night out - solid......but nowhere great.
@Brown92SG I have the same one pictured here, a 1973 SG Standard Cherry Finish. For whatever reason, this guitarist took the pick guard off his. I don't know why. The guitar looks far better with it on, just for the aesthetic purposes.
@BellumSacrumBellum28 That's cool. I have a 92 SG Special that was stripped of it's paint so the wood's brown color shows (hence my username). Got into SG's because of Angus Young but I got over AC/DC. It's good to see that Tony Bourge played one in all those great Budgie songs. Underated guitarist playing IMO an overlooked guitar. Seems like everyone likes Les Paul's. Nothing against them it's just that SG's are much easier to play.
Yes, and the funky and soulful first section here is a good example of why Burke Shelley didn't like Budgie to be labelled just as a rock band. They were remarkably versatile. "Slipaway" (on Bandolier) is jazzy.
I got turned on to this band after reading about how much Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) loved them in the '70s, and how their love of Budgie is what brought Dave and Lars Ulrich (Metallica) together in the beginning. If you haven't read it, pick up a copy (or buy the audio version on iTunes) of MUSTAINE. Great piece of rock history. And man, what a fkd up life he had!
Truly great stuff from my youth and even now you can't beat a good bit of british rock.
Went to see them with my buddies in '75 in Birmingham and screen printed t shirts for us all (budgie in a spaceman suit) and the name logo down the side. Told the guys not to go to the stage door as I would be in shit street.....beer gets the better of everyone. Shelley told us how he wasn't happy..f...g b....ds....etc and wanted the shirts!! Cold train ride home to Coventry, Great video posting, thanks.
Yeh, and this is an example of the "boring" old music that Punks are so proud of replacing! Well done punks -- you didn't replace anything, you're all gone and Budgie's still touring!!
Here's a story that'll make you wanna puke....a few years ago, I used to make a habit of dropping by the Goodwill near my work on lunch breaks to see if there were any kewl records....one day there were. I walked out of there with THREE white label promo copies, all of them dead mint (Bandolier, If I were Brittania, and Impeckable). That was a good day...
Bandolier is one Budgie album I could never find, and just when you think you knew all their good shit, you find yet another track which blows you away. Since I never knew these guys in their prime, can someone explain why they never conquered the world?
@TheLastBrainLeft I have often wondered the same thing myself. When I was in High School in the mid 70's there was only a handful of us who knew who these guys were. I'm still trying to find all their stuff. Other bands from then you may get into that not too many people knew about are BABE RUTH - MOXY - LEGS DIAMOND & PAVLOV'S DOG. Check them out..... Have a good one.
I followed them in their prime and they always seemed to have a cult but small following. playing small clubs and venues. To be really honest, I think they never made it huge because they were not a glamorous band. No posing front man or strutting guitar hero. They were serious musicians not performers. Just my 10 cents
@TheLastBrainLeft becasue they suck. Only geeks with obscure taste would say they should have conquered the world, and this is coming from a rock 'n' roll geek...
@TheLastBrainLeft Because they came from Wales. You had to come from London to be anywhere. These guys were my heroes for many years. Their music was unbelievably good for the time. I even met them in Broadway Music in Cardiff about twelve years ago.
@TheLastBrainLeft Ha-ha! Maybe they just were too ugly, but I love these guys. Fantastic songs. 'N Burke's got soul. One of my fav-singers of he 70's. bandoiler is my fav-album!
Unfortunately the general music buying public likes what its told it likes and couldnt be arsed getting off its arse to listen to anything outside of that. Therefore they miss out on the better selection of whats available musically, because "wiser heads" at recording companies, radio stations, etc, "know" that REAL talent doesnt sell.
Is there any way we can hear the studio version of this? I don't think it's on youtube.
Burke Shelley is such an amazing lyricist! and to think, I only heard of Budgie because of Brutal Legend...Thank GOD I discovered them. Anyy idea why they never got much mainstream sucess?
Is Budgie covering this song or is this their song? Now I remember who they are. This is one of the few songs of theirs that was mainstream on radio when I was a small kid.
great band i 1 st heard never turn your back cause a co worker told me if i like rush i'd like budgie. he was right there awesome. i picked up bandolier on vinyl it was a gift and sounds fantastic on vinyl!!!!
Hi everyone.what album is this track from? Also, can anyone tell me if there is anymore live vids available to watch from this era and line up? I can only find this and the Breadfan vid.Are there others (not recent gigs)? thanks
This track can be found on Budgie's 1975 album 'Bandolier'.
The only other footage from this era is of 'I ain't no Mountain' (also a track on Bandolier) which is available here on YouTube.
The Breadfan footage is of the original line up which was restored by myself and original Budgie drummer Ray Phillips. This is available on the 'Never Turn Your Back On A Friend' Remaster.
There is also a poor quality promo of the 1978 line up playing 'Smile boy smile' & 'Pyramids'.
@bodgie247 thanks very much for that info bodgie.You did a great job on the restoration work, i take my hat off to you and Ray for your efforts.I'm going to try and pick up the album today if possible and i'm going to look for the footage you mentioned....many regards,teaandcakes
I am so happy I decided to check these guys out. Huge Metallica fan (became aware of Budgie after hearing the Tallica cover). IMO nothing good in the new rock so I go back to the influences of my fav bands. I asked Old Man Pete from work if he's any albums from Budgie, he came back the next day w/ Bandolier (he never really go into them cuz they weren't "Sabbath" enough for him) but after hearing side 1, I became an instant fan. I'm just pissed I haven't listened to these guys eariler!!! ROCK ON
Brilliant i've never seen this i musta been out i didn't think i missed Old grey whistle test n Budgie are my favourite band whispering Bob put some good stuff on G F R, Mountain, Groundhogs and all the rest when the good times was checkin out well done for catching it you made my day

Is Budgie covering this song or is this their song? Now I remember who they are. This is one of the few songs of theirs that was mainstream on radio when I was a small kid.

just a power trio ... but the manage to to squeeze a lot of noises out of their instruments in those almost six and a half minutes, soft AND loud.
great little band!!!

Hi everyone.what album is this track from? Also, can anyone tell me if there is anymore live vids available to watch from this era and line up? I can only find this and the Breadfan vid.Are there others (not recent gigs)? thanks
teaandcakes2002 1 year ago
@teaandcakes2002
This track can be found on Budgie's 1975 album 'Bandolier'.
The only other footage from this era is of 'I ain't no Mountain' (also a track on Bandolier) which is available here on YouTube.
The Breadfan footage is of the original line up which was restored by myself and original Budgie drummer Ray Phillips. This is available on the 'Never Turn Your Back On A Friend' Remaster.
There is also a poor quality promo of the 1978 line up playing 'Smile boy smile' & 'Pyramids'.

anybody knows which overdrive pedal tony bourge was using???
malmsteen80 1 year ago
@malmsteen80
The pedal Tony used on this video was a 1970's 'Colorsound' Wah/Fuzz/Swell.
He didn't use any overdrive as such, just a Gibson and Marshall 100w amp cranked up loud.

I am so happy I decided to check these guys out. Huge Metallica fan (became aware of Budgie after hearing the Tallica cover). IMO nothing good in the new rock so I go back to the influences of my fav bands. I asked Old Man Pete from work if he's any albums from Budgie, he came back the next day w/ Bandolier (he never really go into them cuz they weren't "Sabbath" enough for him) but after hearing side 1, I became an instant fan. I'm just pissed I haven't listened to these guys eariler!!! ROCK ON
