Diamond Head

[bruno]

Always had a soft spot for this band. I saw them in the early '80's on their Canterbury tour. I have always loved that album, there is something about the songwriting on that album. Sean Harris and Brian Tatler in fine, fine form. Along with Merv, who went on to form FM (another great band).

Anyway, they re-recorded their most famous track from a very early album for the 40 year anniversary (I think). Its fucking awesome. No longer Sean singer - but this is amazing energy from an old band. I can't stop listening to this track - it makes me want to shout "AAAAARRRRRRHHHHHGGG!".

Turn up and enjoy....

and as if just like magic ....

My university used to get some great bands in the student union. I was studying here, along with Mrs B this year, and I distinctly remember seeing diamond head. It was either this year or the year before, so I was probably in this audience, rocking out ....

I saw them at least once back then, I seem to remember being very impressed but thinking they were probably a bit late to the party.

I found them online a few months ago - their current stuff is excellent. There's a bunch of it in my amazon wish list, I haven't pressed the trigger yet because of higher priorities (Power-Up for starters LOL - wowowowowowow, listened to it 7 or 8 times since it arrived yesterday... and UFO... they're releasing all 6 gigs that went into Strangers on the 20th of this month... that one went to Mrs R for chrimbo suggestions...)

Anyway, Diamond Head, I understand they've done the whole album? Not just Am I Evil?

I watched several of their lockdown videos on youtube. In some ways it amused me to see Brian Tatler unchanged except millions of years older and a lot deafer... but then you listen to the music they're making, and it's kinda "don't you go changing Brian..." it's just my kinda stuff in the rock thing

My band used to cover this one back in the 90's. I always thought it was originally a Metallica song...had to just now google it. Wow, now I feel stupid, lol! Turns out we were covering a cover!

Prolly these dudes are not well known outside the UK?
