Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath... Underrated? No! Maybe, idk wasn't born yet. Times were so different back then. People were too (and still is) too conservative. They were pioneers. Thanks to all of them, we have good music today.
The whole demons and wizard album was incredible the musicianship vocals the driving keyboards for more than one keyboard player very underrated first time I listened to it I was even 10 vinyl and CD
I love people who want to broaden their (musical) horizons. 😍👍 With Uriah Heep you have discovered a real gem 💎👑 in rock history! 💖 Keep on rocking! 🙂🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁
I agree to all of those tunes although I'd like to add Can't Happen Here by Rainbow. Check-out the video on RUclips. For an early 80's song it still fits with the world today.
RJ Dio! For sure. He was an incredible vocalist and song write. We tragically lost him several years ago (2009? I forget) but his lyrics are what metal was meant to be, dark, heavy, even fantastical. I think that's a word
@@Fwr942 RIP Dio. I think he toured while he had stomach cancer and still gave great energy and performances. So much power in his voice. Heaven and hell, don't talk to strangers, rainbow in the dark, holy diver, stargazer..Any old school metalheads have banged their heads to these, guaranteed
One of Histories most underrated bands of all time. Similar to Deep Purple but more diverse with acoustic music and some jazz influences....one of my favorites.
A memorial for the Hammond organ. R.I.P. Ken. They were my very first live concert in January 1978. Easy Livin' was the second to last song on the setlist and as a young organ player I was completely blown away.
WOW, you are officially the ONLY channel that has done a Uriah Heep reaction... good times. Great tune. FYI - Uriah Heep is one of the main characters in Dickens' David Copperfield novel. respect :)
I first saw them and heard this song was when I was 19 and went to the "Summer Rock Festival" at Waldbühne, Berlin. It lasted for two days. IT WAS A BLAST! Saturday, June 9, 1973 - Sunday, June 10, 1973 Below are some of the 20 bands that played --Saturday-- Beck, Bogert & Appice Gentle Giant Thin Lizzy Uriah Heep --Sunday-- Nazareth UFO Wizzard
this is very refreshing seeing a young lady or a young man respond so positively to this type of music...you are definitely right about one thing: this type of vocalization & instrumentation is not heard anymore....I really wished more young people would listen this music more and give it chance instead of passing it off as old geezer rock....this is really good music ...after all this recording is almost 50 yrs old...I personally was not familiar with this song until UH released a live album in 73 I was 11 yrs old...listened to that album constantly ...that album helped shape me as a drummer today...never get tired of this song or that Live Album...peace out
I was a junior in high school 1972 this was the first album I bought by them and I have been a fan ever since I own everything they have ever recorded through all the musician changes over the 50 year career! Oddly enough or shall I say sadly enough, the lineup on the original “easy livin” There is only one original member still with us and that would be Mick Box the guitarist! He still leads the band today in 2022 and Uriah Heep has a new album completed and ready to be released! Looking forward to seeing more Uriah Heep on this channel!
When my wife and I were married in 1972, we bought a console stereo and several new albums to play on it, including this one. Really underappreciated falsetto harmonies by these guys. Amazing music...they were trendsetters.
Sabbath is the ultimate pioneers I'm not a fan of the 60s era stuff but hey it's all matter of opinion rite paranoid is epic war pigs is awesome dnt get me wrong jus a lil slow 4 my taste lol
I saw Uriah Heep in September 1973. They were touring to support a double live album. (ZZ Top opened for them). They were one of the great bands of the rock era. Sadly, except for the guitar player Mick Box, they are all gone...way too soon. Their stuff still sounds good 50 years on. Good for you for featuring them.
I'm one of the guys who grew up in the early 70ies in Germany. The first time I heard this group was during a class trip to London in 1971 in the "Hard Rock Cafe´" near to Hyde Park. It was most impressive because I never heard somethin like that before especially the vocals. It was a song called "Gypsy" what I got to know some days later. I could not get the song out of my head. It is one of the few songs I still remember the circumstances I heard them first. Until now I think I did not hear a Hammond Organ more heavy. I heard "Easy Living" some months later when I was at a Wrestling show with some of my classmates. This song was played during a break and one of my mates told me that this was the new Uriah Heep single. I bought some of their albums and what I like about this group is the width of their musical skills between yery smooth and extremely hard. For me the singer is one of the best I ever heard because he had a very variable way of singing and in some songs he did things that are still unique. "Gypsy" for exemple. There are two versions of this song, one released as a single and a longer one with an extended organ solo on their first album "Very 'eavy, very 'umble". ruclips.net/video/b_5CgNbo0ns/видео.html Another song from the same album but totally different and absolutely haunting where David Byron demonstrated what an outstanding vocalist he was: ruclips.net/video/gLf9F-Pe4lo/видео.html
First heard this in Vietnam as a young Marine. It was a totally new sound to us, and we loved it. Nice to see this beautiful young lady digging it, too, all these years later.
I finished high school in 1976, and every year I was there, so was this song. I enjoyed watching you hear it for the first time, and your relating it to driving. Although my driving record is spotless, I’ve always been a speeder. Now I know why! 😉
My first live concert was in 1974 (yep Old Man) and it was Uriah Heep and I have been hooked ever since! Attended over 400 live shows since and still going strong!
Watched this and Nazareth immediately came to mind. “Hair of the Dog” if you want more of this...or, “Love Hurts” is you want something a little slower.
Lov Naz but hate love hurts-- it tiz a cover -- Razzmatazz more fun -- Boogalo(sp?) is great album Cheerleader is a fun song but Party in Kremlin let's get political--
Congratulations on finding the band Uriah Heep. As someone who has been a fan for many years, I can tell you the lineup you are hearing here is considered their classic. Mick Box on guitar, Ken Hensley on keyboard and guitar, Lee Kerslake on drums, Gary Thain on bass, and David Byron on vocals. Most people choose the period from '71-'75 as being most noteworthy. So this covers albums; Look at Yourself, Demons and Wizards, The Magician's Birthday, Sweet Freedom, Wonderworld, and Return to Fantasy. You will get the most enjoyment with these first. They have 25 studio albums and there is a lot to choose from. Because they were ahead of their time, you may have to listen to some songs more than once before you like them. Take your time to check out the discography. Songs to hear now should be from the ones I highlighted above. Circle of Hands, Pilgrim, Look at Yourself, July Morning, Sunrise, Stealin', Return to Fantasy, The Magician's Birthday, The Wizard, I Won't Mind; all show their versatility in drive and style. Have fun checking them out!
The rhythm section on "Look at yourself" consists of Paul Newton on bass and Ian Clarke on drums. On the song "The wizard", the bass is played by Mark Clarke. On the "Return to fantasy" album, John Wetton plays bass.
@slanzzy I agree with this one, but you should do yourself a favour and try to watch their documentary called The Last Supper. It tells their story in an entertaining way and you get to hear a few of their amazing songs. "Dark" themes didn't exist till they did it.
Uriah Heep had a few hits back in the 70's; this song, "Sweet Lorraine", and "Stealin" to name a few. They were known for their vocals. I saw them once in the late 70's in Detroit when they opened for Kiss. I really didn't care about seeing Kiss 'cause I wanted to see Heep, but was surprised by the Kiss live show. I would recommend "Stealin" just as a listen on your own if you don't want to react to it. For their vocal prowess and arrangement I recommend a song called "Shadows and the Wind", and it MUST be the studio version off Wonderland, not live. The amazing vocal arrangement toward the end of the song will blow you away. Guitarist Mick Box formed Uriah Heep in 1969 and is still with the band, the only remaining original member. I've recommended Black Sabbath before and still do...strongly. I almost hit save on this and "Easy Livin'" came on the music station I'm listening to. WTF????
Heard it on the radio first time today catching the ending. I had to look it up on the radio playlist and listened to it from beginning to end and it was amazing. Love the beat and love this song.
Uriah Heep…one of the most underrated bands of all time. Their vocals are astounding! I think Queen’s vocal harmonies were influenced by these guys. For amazing vocals check out Bird of Prey!
They're not "underrated". They have sold over 40 million albums, are one of the most legendary of all hard rock pioneers, and to this day they draw crowds to the tens of thousands when they play European festivals. In short, one of THE most beloved cult bands of hard rock.
This song is from Uriah Heep’s album “Demons And Wizards”, one of my favorite albums of all time. I discovered it when in approximately 1974, when I was sixteen years old, and have loved it ever since. I’m not sure the band ever had another album as good as this one; every song fits perfectly.
Uriah Heep is one of the best bands ever. They've had so many lineup changes over the years, but the current lineup is solid. Band has been around for over 50 years and still making great records, but for me, 1972's "Demons and Wizards" (which this song, "Easy Livin'" comes from) will never be topped.
This is the first UH song I ever heard and on its own made a huge fan. Saw them live several times and they were just awesome on stage. I especially loved watching Mick Box and David Byron. For sure try out "July Morning" another big favorite.
Don't blame you. The late great Gary Thain is legendary as one of the greatest, most influential bass players of all time. Uriah Heep are coincidentally fabulous at hiring phenomenal bass players. The list includes Paul Newton, Mark Clarke, the abovementioned Gary Thain, John Wetton, Trevor Bolder, Bob Daisley, John Jowitt and, at present, Davey Rimmer.
So much great rock and metal to explore. Lots of comments about the trinity of Black Sabbath, LED Zeppelin, and Deep Purple so of course you will need to go down that road. But since you sound Canadian, I might suggest The Guess Who, Rush, Triumph, Kick Axe, or Platinum Blonde. That’s a nice wide array of Maple Leaf Mayhem. Growing up in Buffalo I was lucky to be exposed to music from both sides of the border. Great stuff.
My dad has always been a massive fan of Uriah Heep and growing up they were always a constant when driving in his car etc. This song really just takes me back to my childhood and brings back happy memories with him and the rest of my family. Similar things he used to listen to were bands like Rainbow, T-rex and Hawkwind if you're looking for music like this to listen to!
You are so cool. Love your intelligent, authentic reactions. Uriah Heep has some great songs. This is an early one. Fast forward to the one of the last ones and play "Fallen Angel" for amazing harmonies and a sweet song of lost love. All the best to you.
"One of the last ones"? "Fallen angel" is the title track of their 12th studio album, released in 1978. Since then, they have released as many studio albums more, and the 25th one has just finished recording and will appear this fall.
This is the second clip i watched of you - so funny, i grew up in this revolutionary era when all these bands appeared and made a mark for the future in (heavy) metal rock!! I find this music fairly timeless and not dated, unlike so many other tunes? This music will live on for generations to enjoy, and seen the reaction on your face was priceless, and pleasing!! Keep up the good taste! Greetings from UK
Uriah Heep- one of the best kept secrets of early hard rock. How could one even describe them? Cream meets Deep Purple meets hints of Iron Maiden meets a 70s spy movie soundtrack meets pure awesomeness? You can't go wrong with any of their early albums. For a sample of their less frenetic, more deep and moody side try 'Lady In Black' (I would would say this is more like stopping at the stop light instead of speeding thru, but if the stop light morphed into a cool blue and transfixed you in a hypnotic spell). Fun Fact: The Bulgarian tradition 'July Morning' was inspired by the same-titled Heep song.
Why do people make it out like nobody ever heard of Uriah Heep? Over 40 million records sold, one of THE most legendary hard rock pioneers, and to this day an immensely popular cult band that draw people by the tens of thousands when they appear at European festivals.
They were always a favorite group for me. I wasn't a big fan of the Beatles at first but Uriah Heep got me from the start. BTW - they are still around and writing new stuff.
@Mike Thomas yes, but the band has continued - I know to some it is only the same if all the original artists are there but to me, it is a question of the integrity of the style and form of the music and in my opinion, as time has gone on the music has evolved but it has remained consistent - that is, the music has changed over time in the way I would expect from where it started. It still feels like them to me, so as band members were replaced, in my opinion, they fit into the band rather than changing the band. I understand others might not agree, but that is how it feels to me.
Thank You for playing URIAH HEEP. I saw them back in 1971 or 72 in Houston, Texas. They opened the show with Steppinwolf as the headliners. Maybe you could play July Morning. It is an awesome song as well as many others. Keep up the super work. I enjoy your channel! BOOM!
OK this vid is a yr old, I've never seen this beautiful little ladies channel before, It just appeared on my feed. And so far she has reacted to music I grew up on. Metallica Uriah Heep, etc... And she plays Guitar. Great channel little one👍
This is one of those songs that prove you don't always need a tonne of changes during a song, sometimes keeping it simple is better. Kinda like Go With the Flow and No One Knows by QOTSA, pretty much the same rhythm all through the song Another suggestion from that era, Radar Love by Golden Earring
@@deadskinrippers I think you mean 'Gypsy'. I like that one too but I'm guessing it's a bit too progy. I'm guessing you're talking Chris Norman's 'Gypsy Queen', which has some similarities to 'Lady in Black'. I like both of them, but Lady in Black is heavy-er in the subject/lyrics/vibe department, but is very easy to get into, that's why I said what I've said.
i wont give it a thumbs down ,but its before my time and ive never heard of em.....however i think i see where King diamond [ mercyful faith ] got some inspiration with that auto tuned stuff before there was actually auto tune
Check out Motorhead. Old school ozzy with Black Sabbath is another one. I wasn't even born yet in the early 70s but I remember the vinyl my Dad had when I was a kid.
Well, that was an unexpected choice :-) Really fun group to listen to -- though I don't think they hold up as well as some of the other classic 70's bands. See them more as training wheels (or a gateway "drug") until you get to the harder/deeper stuff. But, what do I know? I just vibe more with the melancholy
One of my favorite bands. I grew up in that era and was blessed to have so many great bands creating such great music. We used to listen to this as we cruised and boozed and toked. Great memories!
I would love to see you react to Ozzy Osbourne from the Blizzard of Ozz album. With Randy Rhoads playing guitar. That's sort of the beginning of classical based heavy metal that went on to influence bands like Metallica. Of course, there is the obvious Crazy Train, but I would rather hear your reaction to Mr. Crowley, or even some of the ballads that he wrote. Such as Goodbye to Romance or Revelation Mother Earth. Those 2 songs really show the classical influence
Probably the most underrated band ever!
Not underrated at all by those who heard them in the early '70s----they were extremely highly rated back then , quite rightly!
Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath...
Underrated? No! Maybe, idk wasn't born yet.
Times were so different back then. People were too (and still is) too conservative.
They were pioneers.
Thanks to all of them, we have good music today.
Still a hugely popular cult band. When they play at European festivals, people come flocking at the tens of thousands.
Sold 40 million units ,someone's heard of them 👍
Another one is Great White.
URIAH HEEP- "JULY MORNING"
This is a true masterpiece!
Look At Yourself, Salisbury, plenty of others.
The first time I heard Easy Livin' was around age 10. The entire A-side of Demons & Wizards is absolute gold.
Its definitely music to speed to.
Honda Goldwing and this out through 4 speakers is pure heaven....
I grew up with this song and I still love it. I'ts a eternal CLASSIC.
"Look at Yourself" is another great Uriah Heep classic is just as good
Hello in the seventies( I was 16) years old and that is the best music of the world and it is cool that many young kids hear this music 👍👍🥰🥰🥰
Not many people know of these guys. So rad that you checked them out and enjoyed them!
@large biff well Mick Box is still around.. sadly only one left from this era UH
I am kind of partial to the David Byron era. There was something about his voice. Different from everyone else from that era.
@@zoso4rune504 I'm absolutist on that, I only listen to that era Heep nad of course David's & Ken's solo work
@@tonycaniggia Your loss.
@@erikthompson619 not really
Sadly, only one member of this classic line up is still alive. Guitarist Mick Box, he still tours with Heep today. Live long and rock hard!
The whole demons and wizard album was incredible the musicianship vocals the driving keyboards for more than one keyboard player very underrated first time I listened to it I was even 10 vinyl and CD
I love people who want to broaden their (musical) horizons. 😍👍
With Uriah Heep you have discovered a real gem 💎👑 in rock history! 💖
Keep on rocking! 🙂🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁
What most are missing.. the lead singer David Byron is looking upward when he sings. "I've been forgiven". .. it's truly. Heavenly inspired! Jd
Thank You God For giving me the opportunity to see them live, Uriah Heep, Manfred Mann Band, And Savoy Brown...around 1974-75 What a Concert!
Check out the band "Rainbow". Two reasons, Ronnie James Dio and Richie Blackmore. Two of the godfathers of the metal genre
Yes, do so. Good choices would be " Man on the Silver Mountain", " Stargazer", or "Gates Of Babylon". Best bet to to review the album's versions
I agree to all of those tunes although I'd like to add Can't Happen Here by Rainbow. Check-out the video on RUclips. For an early 80's song it still fits with the world today.

Stargazer is one of the greatest songs ever written.

A memorial for the Hammond organ. R.I.P. Ken. They were my very first live concert in January 1978. Easy Livin' was the second to last song on the setlist and as a young organ player I was completely blown away.
The forerunners of heavy progress music.
Legends in the UK.
Our generation simply had some of the greatest music of all time
WOW, you are officially the ONLY channel that has done a Uriah Heep reaction... good times. Great tune. FYI - Uriah Heep is one of the main characters in Dickens' David Copperfield novel. respect :)
Putting Uriah heep reaction into the RUclips search bar shows about 10 people who did earlier reactions.
I first saw them and heard this song was when I was 19 and went to the "Summer Rock Festival" at Waldbühne, Berlin. It lasted for two days. IT WAS A BLAST!

You rebel. What are you going to do with your life?
Oh wait... That became 15 years later.
A couple of similar early metal suggestions:
"Doctor Doctor" by UFO
"Kill the King" by Rainbow
"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath
Paranoid!
Agree with Paranoid.
So many Black Sabbath songs could be done.
The true, undisputed Godfathers of Metal.
Paranoid is the most popular among the three but Kill the King is just killer!)

I'm grateful to have been born in the mid 50's and getting to enjoy the 70's music!!!
When my wife and I were married in 1972, we bought a console stereo and several new albums to play on it, including this one. Really underappreciated falsetto harmonies by these guys. Amazing music...they were trendsetters.
For early metal try some Black Sabbath: "Paranoid" or "War Pigs" (I prefer the later)
That’s what I said
Sabbath is the ultimate pioneers I'm not a fan of the 60s era stuff but hey it's all matter of opinion rite paranoid is epic war pigs is awesome dnt get me wrong jus a lil slow 4 my taste lol

@@jester-lh2ug Nothing wrong about being a little slow. Or at least that's what my mom tells me.

July Morning and Gipsy, some of their best songs.
The pace of this track is amazing with bass and drums working overtime! Used to love them when I was 14 back in the day.
Exactly!
Yeah..Junior High..these guys got a lot of air time, on the radio, in Detroit..back then..!
Saw them a few times back in the day. Great band, and a rock'en bass player. Just listen to that guy!!!

I call them the grandfathers of meta as they truly started everything, Priest is not far behind, they would be considered the godfathers

Kill the King - Rainbow, Holy Diver - Dio & The Last Stand + Winged Hussars - Sabaton. all of those songs are incredible \m/
This song is from Uriah Heep’s album “Demons And Wizards”, one of my favorite albums of all time. I discovered it when in approximately 1974, when I was sixteen years old, and have loved it ever since. I’m not sure the band ever had another album as good as this one; every song fits perfectly.
i would listen to these guys every day when i was 3. i love how most of their songs feed your imagination
Uriah Heep is one of the best bands ever. They've had so many lineup changes over the years, but the current lineup is solid. Band has been around for over 50 years and still making great records, but for me, 1972's "Demons and Wizards" (which this song, "Easy Livin'" comes from) will never be topped.
Cool, I’m impressed. This is a deeper classic metal/rock song, very few people react to this that I know of. Props to u sis!
That guitar lick definitely sounded ahead of it's time🤘
First time I am listening to Uriah Heep. They sound really good.
This is the first UH song I ever heard and on its own made a huge fan. Saw them live several times and they were just awesome on stage. I especially loved watching Mick Box and David Byron. For sure try out "July Morning" another big favorite.
i love the bass line in this cut
Don't blame you. The late great Gary Thain is legendary as one of the greatest, most influential bass players of all time. Uriah Heep are coincidentally fabulous at hiring phenomenal bass players. The list includes Paul Newton, Mark Clarke, the abovementioned Gary Thain, John Wetton, Trevor Bolder, Bob Daisley, John Jowitt and, at present, Davey Rimmer.
So much great rock and metal to explore. Lots of comments about the trinity of Black Sabbath, LED Zeppelin, and Deep Purple so of course you will need to go down that road. But since you sound Canadian, I might suggest The Guess Who, Rush, Triumph, Kick Axe, or Platinum Blonde. That’s a nice wide array of Maple Leaf Mayhem. Growing up in Buffalo I was lucky to be exposed to music from both sides of the border. Great stuff.
I looooove the Triumph call. "Say Goodbye" kicks butt, takes names, and pulls off being delicate as well.
Saw them while stationed in Germany during the early 70's and collected their albums while there. Great band!
My dad has always been a massive fan of Uriah Heep and growing up they were always a constant when driving in his car etc. This song really just takes me back to my childhood and brings back happy memories with him and the rest of my family.
Similar things he used to listen to were bands like Rainbow, T-rex and Hawkwind if you're looking for music like this to listen to!
Awww that’s lovely.
You are so cool. Love your intelligent, authentic reactions. Uriah Heep has some great songs. This is an early one. Fast forward to the one of the last ones and play "Fallen Angel" for amazing harmonies and a sweet song of lost love. All the best to you.
"One of the last ones"? "Fallen angel" is the title track of their 12th studio album, released in 1978. Since then, they have released as many studio albums more, and the 25th one has just finished recording and will appear this fall.
One having left behind a legacy is "Rainbow - Stargazer" (Dio is singing).
Prepare yourself for a trip. Cmon guys... back me up here.
Got Your back, but if you do "Stargazer" you also have to do "A Light In The Black"
Probably one of the best songs I've heard, Such a great song in fact the whole album "Rising" is insane and one of my favourite records.
Caught this band toooo many years ago at our local venue. Very heavy. Very humble.
This is the second clip i watched of you - so funny, i grew up in this revolutionary era when all these bands appeared and made a mark for the future in (heavy) metal rock!! I find this music fairly timeless and not dated, unlike so many other tunes? This music will live on for generations to enjoy, and seen the reaction on your face was priceless, and pleasing!! Keep up the good taste! Greetings from UK
Uriah Heep- one of the best kept secrets of early hard rock. How could one even describe them? Cream meets Deep Purple meets hints of Iron Maiden meets a 70s spy movie soundtrack meets pure awesomeness? You can't go wrong with any of their early albums. For a sample of their less frenetic, more deep and moody side try 'Lady In Black' (I would would say this is more like stopping at the stop light instead of speeding thru, but if the stop light morphed into a cool blue and transfixed you in a hypnotic spell).
Fun Fact: The Bulgarian tradition 'July Morning' was inspired by the same-titled Heep song.
Why do people make it out like nobody ever heard of Uriah Heep? Over 40 million records sold, one of THE most legendary hard rock pioneers, and to this day an immensely popular cult band that draw people by the tens of thousands when they appear at European festivals.
When you can't sit still you know it's a winner! ;-) That bassline was NUTS!
Totally!....this is such nice little number....
Oh yeah! The late great Gary Thain is legendary, one of the most influential bass players of all time.
Constant and relentless driving beat. That it is, my child.
Great song, great album. I remember being on holiday in Cologne Germany in 1983 and Easy Livin’ came on the jukebox in a bar, I was like “yeah!!”
They were always a favorite group for me. I wasn't a big fan of the Beatles at first but Uriah Heep got me from the start. BTW - they are still around and writing new stuff.
@Mike Thomas yes, but the band has continued - I know to some it is only the same if all the original artists are there but to me, it is a question of the integrity of the style and form of the music and in my opinion, as time has gone on the music has evolved but it has remained consistent - that is, the music has changed over time in the way I would expect from where it started. It still feels like them to me, so as band members were replaced, in my opinion, they fit into the band rather than changing the band. I understand others might not agree, but that is how it feels to me.
It's great that you're branching out. Check out "Snowblind" by Black Sabbath. I also love your eye makeup.
Thank You for playing URIAH HEEP. I saw them back in 1971 or 72 in Houston, Texas. They opened the show with Steppinwolf as the headliners. Maybe you could play July Morning. It is an awesome song as well as many others. Keep up the super work. I enjoy your channel! BOOM!
This was my favorite band, in a great part of my youth. The highligt was when they had a consert in Oslo, in, I think it was ‘73 or ‘74. Magic!!
Their song "Stealin'" is solid as well.
OK this vid is a yr old,
I've never seen this beautiful little ladies channel before,
It just appeared on my feed. And so far she has reacted to music I grew up on. Metallica Uriah Heep, etc...
And she plays Guitar. Great channel little one👍
Am 52 Yrs old from Canada and my grade 4 teacher gave me this album during an Christmas gift exchange :)
My first concert. Great band
This is one of those songs that prove you don't always need a tonne of changes during a song, sometimes keeping it simple is better. Kinda like Go With the Flow and No One Knows by QOTSA, pretty much the same rhythm all through the song
Another suggestion from that era, Radar Love by Golden Earring
B3 organ makes every song better.
URIAH HEEP, I Saw This Band in 1973. Became a fan immediately. More, "MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY", "SWEET LORAINE", "SUNRISE", "STEALIN", "SPIDER WOMAN".
Should've went for Lady in Black as a first experience with this band, but I guess it works with this one too.
Or
Gypsy Queen
@@deadskinrippers I think you mean 'Gypsy'. I like that one too but I'm guessing it's a bit too progy. I'm guessing you're talking Chris Norman's 'Gypsy Queen', which has some similarities to 'Lady in Black'. I like both of them, but Lady in Black is heavy-er in the subject/lyrics/vibe department, but is very easy to get into, that's why I said what I've said.
"Lady in black" is NOT a good place to start with Uriah Heep. Great song, but not at all representative to their sound.
I concur with Black Sabbath. You'd love those guys, and hey...Ozzy Osbourne, who doesn't love Ozzy?!
Black Sabbath yes Ozzy solo stuff not so much
The first time I heard this song was last year when Uriah Heep opened for Judas Priest. It was a good night.
I heard this song in high school. These guys were fantastic. I have several CDs of them.
I’d recommend Golden Earring - Radar Love, Rush - Subdivisions or Steven Wilson - Pariah.
Who the hell is giving thumbs down on this? What’s wrong with people.
i wont give it a thumbs down ,but its before my time and ive never heard of em.....however i think i see where King diamond [ mercyful faith ] got some inspiration with that auto tuned stuff before there was actually auto tune
Don’t you realize she listens to satanic music and she’s headless enough to enjoy it ? ^^
Umm Metallica is way better
@@jester-lh2ug pre 1991 maybe
They are the jealous ones who think she is too cute. 😁
100% foot to the floor driving down the road. Some songs just have that feeling and you nailed it. I can totally imagine it.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen for letting me discover this song! 😃
Check out Motorhead. Old school ozzy with Black Sabbath is another one. I wasn't even born yet in the early 70s but I remember the vinyl my Dad had when I was a kid.
Motorhead nice! Required listening. I agree with you completely. First time I heard Ace of Spades as a kid I was hooked.
Well, that was an unexpected choice :-)
Really fun group to listen to -- though I don't think they hold up as well as some of the other classic 70's bands. See them more as training wheels (or a gateway "drug") until you get to the harder/deeper stuff.
But, what do I know? I just vibe more with the melancholy
One of my favorite bands. I grew up in that era and was blessed to have so many great bands creating such great music. We used to listen to this as we cruised and boozed and toked. Great memories!
Uriah Heep was one of the
first rockband I heard in the early 70's. And they become one of my favourites.
Gorgeous 😍
And see!! The head banging rythym is becoming more natural! Told ya it would. LoL. Have a great weekend girl! Oh, check out Deep Purple
Amazing band!! Amazing song!
Glad you reacted to this badass! Damn you’re beautiful Rock on!! 🤘🏼🤟🏼
DIAMOND HEAD - Helpless - Live - 1980
I would love to see you react to Ozzy Osbourne from the Blizzard of Ozz album. With Randy Rhoads playing guitar. That's sort of the beginning of classical based heavy metal that went on to influence bands like Metallica.
Of course, there is the obvious Crazy Train, but I would rather hear your reaction to Mr. Crowley, or even some of the ballads that he wrote. Such as Goodbye to Romance or Revelation Mother Earth. Those 2 songs really show the classical influence
Wouldn't you say 'classical based heavy metal' really started with Deep Purple/Rainbow?
