Got my 1st copy of Bandolier when I was 15 in 1976 (vinyl). Since then, I've bought it on cassette, and CD (special order). I have no idea where those physical copies are now, but I've got it saved on two hard drives, and a cloud. Fucking rock.
I’ve listened to Budgie off and on for a long time now, but have just recently come to appreciate ALL of their 70s output, but what I don’t understand is, it seems like a lot of their RUclips fans tend to blow off their first album snd I think it’s one of their best, if not “THE Best!!!

If they ever came to Minnesota, I missed it. Then again, back in the day we had an early Styx that was just mid-western at the time. Best they ever were IMO, Still I salivate at the show opportunities that you must have had. Does immigration affect you Islanders or not? Asking for a friend ya know...
Byłem na koncercie Chorzów Polska, było wspaniale super, za 14 dni szedłem do armii, a był wtedy w Polsce komunizm, ale nigdy nie zapomnę tego wspaniałego koncertu, oni chyba też, bo zawsze o tym koncercie mówili OK . Budgie Super ❤
A great rock band, forever will remain legendary in the hearts of all fans and time. Growing up Listening to The God Father Joe Anthony on 99.5 Kiss FM in San Antonio, Texas. 70's 80'sand 90's Rest in peace.The house still breaking all the house rules.
Yes indeed were still breaking all the houses rules, long live Budgie and rock 🎸roll will never die in the hearts of millions for Eternity, better to fade away than die,rust never sleeps!
Brings back so many memories , they were awesome , I sat in stage with them in 1977 at the two bitters club in San Marcus Texas and drank a beer with them , I wish I was young again ,, awesome voice , awesome all the way around and I have this album :)
Timeless band. Saws them 5 times, and on no occasion did they disappoint. One of my treasured possessions, was a denim waistcoat which I had the BUDGIE logo and the Budgie Pilot figure "hand" stitched onto it and very detailed it was too. I'm 65+ but wish I could find it. P.S. still rocking away.
How is it going now that you are peeking into the 70's ? Hope you are still around because I am right behind you and I have some questions if I can even pull this off or not?
You and both I was a kid in the 70s, had the time of my life back then. I used to steal my moms stash of weed and smoking it, falling asleep listening to music such as this one back then. What good memories
Hi Chris,, I've read some your comments on different Budgie songs. I grew up in San Antonio Texas and it seems like nobody else knows this music and then I read your comment that you also grew up in San Antonio. I wonder if we know each other.. I was listening to this music in the late seventies... Right there in San Antonio in a little town called Kirby... When I saw your comment I couldn't find it again this was the closest I could get to the comment were you mentioned you lived in San Antonio as well...
Hey Chris - funny that the other "Greatest Unknown" is the band Point Blank (from Texas I believe)… They are so so similar yet different! Both should have been as big as Zeppelin..
@@Brucev7 Hey just for your consumption...Seen Budgie July 5 1978 in Winnipeg, and saw Robin Trower in Vancouver Aug 31 1990 ..both shows are unforgetable !
I discovered them here in Canada about 1977/78. Such a cool trio. Funky and heavy. Them, Thin Lizzy and UFO were three bands I educated my friends about. The cover of this album always reminded me of Planet Of The Apes when you first see he apes on horseback. LOL
killer song bad ass riff, what a 3 piece band budgie was love this song. love the fact this track is heavy metal with prog rock thrown in this band could do that well, should of been a massive band, their albums are underrated rock works of art. the most underrated rock band of all time easy.
I like the way it's half steps and it's Paradise City almost exactly. There's other examps I'm not thinking of but like Black Dog a little bit then a little like Robin Trower - Sinners Song more exactly like GnRs though
Curiously, very few people have spoken or shared this, in fact, none of my closest contacts and friends have seen them mention the subject. Not even the news for women on the Internet. Logical. It reminds me of when Neil Peart died and few have any idea who it was, and when Van Halen died the news spread so fast. Budgie, the most forgotten rock band ... When I heard this band at the age of 8 I fell in love with it completely, they already sounded very Heavy for the time, I love the fact that as well as many underground bands for various situations they kept low profile or are very undervalued making music, in My opinion, Budgie was on a par with Led Zeppelin and Rush, or at least they didn't ask for anything from such well-known bands. Budgie is one of those bands that blows your mind if you have a school and you value the fact that they influenced thousands of groups years later. Budgie is one of my all-time favorite bands, their music lives up to several well-known and overrated bands from the 70s. Burke Shelley, thank you, a true giant, because all that wave of great records and lyrics in my life are present, you are now in the Valhalla of Rock 'N' Roll. 🤘🏻
Who cares whomever they sound like. Happy to find them. Got lucky finding them off diamond head. May more young r&r bands keep it real...like this vintage steed
@@mannyruiz1954 Not even. The difference between them is that Rush was actively writing FM radio friendly songs and Budgie wasn't. Rush always had one or two songs per album that were hits. Budgie would have been bigger if they had embraced more pop elements, but they chose not to.
@@potatortheomnipotentspud Well, they're ''famous'' because Metallica, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Melvins, Megadeth and Soundgarden covered them, they played side-by-side with bands like Judas Priest and even have songs in Brutal Legend, however, they don't have much views in youtube, there's hardly anything in streaming services and it's hard to find a radio station that plays them; I myself can't find a t-shirt or CD anywhere I guess that explains what the op was :p
I bought budgie "in for the kill" in the 70's because it had a wild album cover.little did I know that they would become one of my favorite bands.i love these guys.hope they come to the states one day
Been listening to this band for 18 years...I am only 21. I laugh at modern music, nothing will compare to a band that puts dedication and hard work into there instruments to produce such amazing music to grace the industry for years and years to come
Got a Budgie album for Christmas when I was 16ish, In for the kill. Almost 60 now and still cranking Budgie on my Alpine/Kicker subs...enjoy life ya'll, it's fleeting
Watched them at Stirling uni. Unbelievable band. Strange how they didn’t achieve the accolades other bands of that era became successful. In my opinion, for a three piece Welsh band they are very underestimated. All you rockers out there give them a listening
Been Jamming to Budgie since 1977, Found L.P.s of them when I was in Germany(3 yrs) Gotta love these guys (cassetes where just coming out lol) They seem to make alot of strong music for how few members there are.....
I wear my Budgie "In For The Kill!" shirt proudly, longtime fan of these guys from Cardiff, Wales. I'm from Portland Oregon. I've turned friends of mine onto Budgie just from either a song or my aforementioned shirt. Cheers.
Jeez, I’m a 50 year old rocker from the UK, and I’ve seen, and loved, all the big bands but I missed out on Budgie. Always saw a lot of references to them, and bought a single of theirs, but my God...... they rock more than I ever knew and now I feel guilty and hard done by! Budgie I love this. ❤️
I remember winning this album at a school fair back in 1978, I was 12 years old and did not know who Budgie was at the time. I took it home and started listening to it and started liking what I heard. I use to play along with the songs in the garage, I played drums at the time and was into other rock bands also. I believe I still have this album today.
I saw both Budgie and Rush in 1977 and I actually thought for a while that they had the same bass player/vocalist. Both made lots of extremely good, loud hard rock noises, but Budgie never got the recognition they so richly deserved.
@@xblood1978 They were both influenced by Robert Plant, that's why their styles sound similar. But Ged was a much more aggressive singer than Burke and used a lot more vibrato. There were obvious differences between them. 'Ripped off' isn't accurate.
I love budgie so much myself and a buddy of mine went and saw them live 3 times in 7 days Once in new Braunfels Texas 2nd time Seguin Texas 3rd time was a charm San Marcos Texas at the Two Bitter Up front table Smoking hash and partying with the band. 1 of the most and best times I've had in my 63 years of living
I bought this album as an import way back when, I bought AC/DC let there be rock at the same time. I still enjoy this. can't really recall the last time I listened to the other.
Another one of my favourite bands that never quite made it to "super" stardom. But on the other hand, they stayed true to thier sound even with personnel changes, where so many bands got polished and less raw when success came thier way.
First time I've heard this song. I was grinning like the Cheshire cat. Loved it. Going to listen to some more of them. I had an album on cassette many years ago, it wore out and I couldn't find that album anywhere to buy. Spewin' as it had songs I don't know the title to that I used to play loud.
I had a cassette that didn't have the name of the group, played it loved it for Years...a couple years ago I found out who they were and got to listen to all of their music, was ecstatic, side note on the other side was triumvirate's Spartacus. I've been on musical quests to find awesome music. Budgie was the best quest find.
Budgie is definitely ONE of the most underrated bands of all time. But the brilliant Be Bop Deluxe is THE most underrated band of all time. Bill Nelson is the best rock guitarist of all time as well. It's criminal how they were not given their due.
MID 2024… WHO LOVES THIS????? I RATE THIS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Got my 1st copy of Bandolier when I was 15 in 1976 (vinyl). Since then, I've bought it on cassette, and CD (special order). I have no idea where those physical copies are now, but I've got it saved on two hard drives, and a cloud. Fucking rock.
DUDE THIS MAKES A VEGGIE WALK AGAIN..... THAT SHIT CRAZYYYYY
I was the proud owner of this album in the 70’s
Great band. Their 1973- to 1975 trilogy was a foundational part of my record collection. RIP Burke Shelley, 10 April 1950 - 10 January 2022.
They fucking rule my man
I’ve listened to Budgie off and on for a long time now, but have just recently come to appreciate ALL of their 70s output, but what I don’t understand is, it seems like a lot of their RUclips fans tend to blow off their first album snd I think it’s one of their best, if not “THE Best!!!
The most underrated rock band ever. They should have been massive, RIP Burke Shelley.
Totally agree 👍
@@TheGuruguru123 I totally agree, yet it ALWAYS stuck in my mind and bothered me that the parakeet theme hurt them... BAD.... IMO....
Their Zoom Club is massive
Can't stop listening to Budgie. Track after track, superb
Ive been on that same shit as of lately. Every song I hear is just fantastic
Incredible band. Probably one of best 70s rockers ever!
Budgie have got the best song titles of all time!
LOVE that riff at 2.48!!!!!

As old as these songs are...they never get old!!
I am Welsh. Saw them in many venues in the early seventies. Brilliant at all times. Tony Bourge was just amazing
If they ever came to Minnesota, I missed it.
Then again, back in the day we had an early Styx that was just mid-western at the time. Best they ever were IMO, Still I salivate at the show opportunities that you must have had.
Does immigration affect you Islanders or not?

Super grupo de los 70' escuchen estooooooo......puro rock!!!! Gracias Budgie.......
One Of The Most Underrated Rockbands Ever!! R.I.P. Burke Shelley (R.O.I.H. Rock On In Heaven)!!
So so so underated was this band, One of the top bands of the 70s that never got the attention they deserved.
I never heard from Budgie till ..........Yeaaaahhhhhh i am kicking now.......damned good guitar
Still listen to them... gosh, how I miss the 70's!
You and both I was a kid in the 70s, had the time of my life back then. I used to steal my moms stash of weed and smoking it, falling asleep listening to music such as this one back then. What good memories
Loved Budgie...met Burke once way back and signed me an autograph .....Burke Shelley met Phil Wow....still have it and will always treasure.
My favorite Budgie song, from my favorite Budgie album. These guys were a huge part of my childhood in Texas.

William Willis, I have been a fan of Budgie since’75. I saw Point Blank At Dallas Texas Jam in ‘82. Fun in the sun. Hello from Austin.
@@williamwillis4049 'Point Blank' opened for Robin Trower' in SA around '76, because Thin Lizzy, one of their guitarists, was said, hurt their hand.

Bandolier was their best album in my opinion.
No way man...nothing beats 'Never Turn Your Back On A Friend'..the best Budgie album & one of the best albums ever released!~
My favorite is Power Supply
Never Turn Your Back On A Friend is the best album of Budgie, but Bandolier is also not a miss, a good album.

I agree Totally. I discovered this band in 1977 while in Berlin Germany and simply put Top of my list for ever have all they're songs
yeah 100% overlooked massively- absolute masters of their craft
I live to love these bands! Keep them alive!
Too good for the masses
You are 100% on that. The masses don't deserve music like this
One of the best tracks ever laid down, it took me 30 years to learn that fucking riff crazy
I like the way it's half steps and it's Paradise City almost exactly. There's other examps I'm not thinking of but like Black Dog a little bit then a little like Robin Trower - Sinners Song more exactly like GnRs though
I gave up after 20 years.🤟
But worth it hey !!!!!
Master Recording Legendary Recording Artists one of the greatest Rock and Roll groups in Rock and Roll History

Yet another group that never got the recognition they deserved. These guys were good. Hell of a sound for a three piece just like Rush.
They get compared to Rush a lot, for the obvious reason. But really, after Catess of Steel and maybe 2112 the similarities end.
Who cares whomever they sound like. Happy to find them. Got lucky finding them off diamond head. May more young r&r bands keep it real...like this vintage steed

They were huge in the UK. Never really made it over here, but I could find their albums in the Import section of the record stores in the US.
BUDGIE & THIN LIZZY The Best Bands
most famous underrated band ever
Isn't that a paradox? How are they underrated if they are the most famous?
@@potatortheomnipotentspud Well, they're ''famous'' because Metallica, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Melvins, Megadeth and Soundgarden covered them, they played side-by-side with bands like Judas Priest and even have songs in Brutal Legend, however, they don't have much views in youtube, there's hardly anything in streaming services and it's hard to find a radio station that plays them; I myself can't find a t-shirt or CD anywhere

I saw Budgie every year for years, they visited a local club every year. Sadly Burke Shelly (Bass Vox) ended in ill health and they no longer tour.
Been listening to this band for 18 years...I am only 21. I laugh at modern music, nothing will compare to a band that puts dedication and hard work into there instruments to produce such amazing music to grace the industry for years and years to come
budgie's top album.
RIFF HEAVEN!
One of the best rock bands EVER 🎵✌🏿🔝
We will always remember You here in Poland !!! What a riff !!
The fact that nobody knows this band makes it that much better
Same great energy as early Rush. Was introduced to Budgie by a girlfriend's dad in high school and still listening today, 15 years later
Boom! My dad introduced me to this album when I was a kid! Still brilliant and holds up today! 👍👏👏💜🎸
More great riffs on one song, then most bands manage on an entire album..
Plus more great riffs on one album then most bands manage in their entire career!
Shit yeah. . . For sure. . .
i still have this album i bought it when it came out and i still listen to it i am 65 years old great band
Nearly as old as you…and still listening to this masterpiece Christmas Day 2022😊

Great album covers
the more i listen the more i wanna rock out
sums up the 70's :D
It brings back the 1975 feeling.....still have the record....awsome
I definitely don’t know enough about Budgie and as a lifelong hard rock fan need to investigate the back catalogue thoroughly!
Budgie..launched a thousand eighties hard rock bands..
Oooooh the memories, pure eargasm 🎸🎸🎸
Fuck. I forgot how good the old school stuff is
I wear my Budgie "In For The Kill!" shirt proudly, longtime fan of these guys from Cardiff, Wales. I'm from Portland Oregon. I've turned friends of mine onto Budgie just from either a song or my aforementioned shirt. Cheers.
True artists
Saw them live at the Kursaal Southend many years ago. Loud and brilliant.
Jeez, I’m a 50 year old rocker from the UK, and I’ve seen, and loved, all the big bands but I missed out on Budgie. Always saw a lot of references to them, and bought a single of theirs, but my God...... they rock more than I ever knew and now I feel guilty and hard done by! Budgie I love this. ❤️
Don't feel bad, I'm 52 and my uncle turned me on to budgie in the late 70s! I never got a chance to see them live but I wish today I would have!
Don't say you're age , it's useless information , you may be 5 years old - I don't care , don't say useless stuff !!!!!
I'm young and cool!!! Always young , always cool !!!!!!!
such a great song! can't believe didn't know it
Top tune. I never get tired of this!

Always great
I saw both Budgie and Rush in 1977 and I actually thought for a while that they had the same bass player/vocalist.
Both made lots of extremely good, loud hard rock noises, but Budgie never got the recognition they so richly deserved.
They did from their peers - both Metallica and Soundgarden covered Budgie tracks.
Treviscoe Megadeth too! Melt the ice away
Van Halen did "In for the Kill" and Iron Maiden covered "I can't see my feelings"
Yeah Geddy ripped of Burkes style completely
@@xblood1978 They were both influenced by Robert Plant, that's why their styles sound similar. But Ged was a much more aggressive singer than Burke and used a lot more vibrato. There were obvious differences between them. 'Ripped off' isn't accurate.
Great70's heavy British Rock, enjoy and share.
Thanks To RUclips and some great Uploaders kids are discovering what real Rock is.
Thanks to whoever uploaded this.. I know only a handful of people who remember Budgie... Thanks Yo !
very good.......................................................................................
Saw them live once in Los Angeles. Loved them!
My first live rock konsert was Budgie in Karlstad Sweden 1975
Lucky
Three piece at its best 👊🏼💜
I love budgie so much myself and a buddy of mine went and saw them live 3 times in 7 days Once in new Braunfels Texas 2nd time Seguin Texas 3rd time was a charm San Marcos Texas at the Two Bitter Up front table Smoking hash and partying with the band. 1 of the most and best times I've had in my 63 years of living
First song I ever heard them play live - still love it to bits
Dios este grupazo es espectacular lo mires por donde lo mires
Treat for my ears
I bought this album as an import way back when, I bought AC/DC let there be rock at the same time. I still enjoy this. can't really recall the last time I listened to the other.
Under rated I’ve been saying that for decades
I saw them play in WPG. July 5 1978... I'm still vibrating !!
Saw Budgie loads of times in Liverpool they had Judas Priest support and got to speak to the band when signing album covers !
Another one of my favourite bands that never quite made it to "super" stardom. But on the other hand, they stayed true to thier sound even with personnel changes, where so many bands got polished and less raw when success came thier way.
Anybody who's into top quality heavy riffing music knows these guys. . . All that matters. . .
Saw them at the Whisky a go go in 1979 . Love that rhythm guitar !
