If history truly does repeat itself, then hopefully future up-and-coming metal bands who have been taking notes of the old-school will start producing quality music like this once again. Because uh - the current state of metal- and music in general- really SUCKS. It's good to know I have havens like this on the internet where I can listen to Diamond Head, Metal Church, and countless others who have fallen to obscurity through the years. This song is so fucking awesome. Thanks alpaccioli...
Dude has absolutely amazing vocal chords. I agree these guys were the shiznit but badly underrated. Metallica may not be who they were today if not for Diamond Head...they were big fans.
@OvertOps Right? Metallica's Garage Inc. lead me to discover Diamond Head...Like I honestly can't choose which song versions are better...they have two completely different sounds and are (to me) almost completely different songs because of it. My personal opinion, however, is that "Am I Evil" was written for Jame's vocal chords...but I can't say I like it better because, DAMN I love Sean's voice. Love it. But well said.
@kjrossblackmore Yanks can't get near you? You ever hear of that little band from LA called Megadeth? How about Slayer and Anthrax... That's 80s though... for 70's America had Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, KISS, and Iron Butterfly. Diamond Head were not rock, they were Heavy Metal. Who gives a shit where it's?
@ShaolinDeadlyGamers black sabbath, judas priest, iron maiden, saxon, diamond head, led zeppelin, queen, the beatles, pink floyd, def leppard, rainbow, deep purple, acdc, vs van halen, kiss, aerosmith, metallica, gnr, megadeth anthrax slayer iron butterfly are pushing it, blue oyster cult i dunno u tell me
@iScreamAimandFire woah woah cant say lynyrd skynyrd suck man or rainbow gnr definitely they sick not massive fan of purple but rainbow are awesome as well as lynyrd skynyrd
@ShinryuTheDestroyer Diamond Head kills Iron Maiden. The vocals by Diamond Head are so much better, the guitar playing are so much better the drums are also better, but Steve Harris really is a great bass player. So its
I was studio (stage) manager at south bank studios,where the notorious swalk video was shot,it took( 5 days,set build&shoot).i remember the girls dancing topless(closed set), they had to dance outside the studio being hosed down with cold water(3am in the morning).the drummer is Andrew ridgleys brother ..brings back some great memories,thanks for the posting
Sean Harris and Robin George (who produced this track) made an album back in '85 called Notorious and it's just been released with unheard tracks. Check out the video Notorious Swalk on youtube and for more info damagecontrolmusic website
Late '80s - this was always on the Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance. I loved that radio show, a part of my teens. This just made me 20 years younger. Thanks Youtube...
Seen diamond head at wolves poly in 1980 .Excellent band and brought back great memories of the gig played there .Have got the white album signed by two members of the band .This was one of my favourite tracks!
It's amazing how much this song sounds like all the pop/hair metal bands that would come along several years after this and be popular throughout the 80s. This has to be where they were getting it from. Like, living through that era and remembering that music, I go back and hear this and it totally fits. "Oh! This is where they got that from. This is why they sounded like that."
Really good stuff. Well, time to listen to it again.
this song i think is about how women look so sweet and innocent yet the screw men for everything they got man i try to defend girls before but reality kept slapping me in the face now all i look at women as is fuck toys and someone you dont take home Feel them Fuck them Forget them
i think it is not just heavy metal, their are the father of thrash metal, because they are on New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, and their ar fathers of thrash!!!!
damn fucking great song you got here man, could you send it to me??? damn i've been trying to get this one but can't find shit
