Ace Of Spades cover was shot at a sandpit in Barnet (London).
Exellent Knowledge
In fact, Lemmy recounts this in White Line Fever. Incredibly entertaining read!
There's this musical snobbery at least in California that I've been subjected to that dictates AC/DC is like a beginner's band, something you put to the side once you discover more heady stuff. And I always felt like a slight outcast by continuing to adore them no matter where my musical tasted ended up going. It's cool to see someone knowledgeable about music continuing to see their greatness come through.
They are a killer band. The stuff is not simple at all.
Highway to Hell is a masterpiece, imho.
If you Want Blood is fantastic too
9? Take it to 11!
“These go to eleven.”
Lol
@@SmartDave60just a bit louder...
Why not make 11 9

Sabbath's Vol. 4! Supernaut is just so unhinged! My favorite classic Sabbath song!
You know who also really liked that song? Led Zeppelin's John Bonham.
After this video I'm going to check out Supernaut.
I was once playing Supernaut at work and a coworker called it "voodoo music" and asked me if I needed a chicken to sacrifice. That was almost as funny as the time my supervisor, who had done time in prison demanded I turn off Sonny Sharrock's Monkey-Pockey-Boo because it was causing him terrible flashbacks.
@@allen-rp3gm try playing early Mercyful Fate or The Divine Punishment by Diamanda Galas, that would REALLY freak 'em out.
Enjoying your sense of humor and broad knowledge of music!
Cheers
Sabbath deserve huge praise for all the changes and sections they had in many songs. So much stuff and they should be praised to high heaven for it.
That's always been one of my favourite elements of Sabbath also. Look at the stark contrast between the beginning and ending of the song, " Symptoms of the universe". Classic example. Or the many changes in the song, "Killing yourself to live"::
Love the Uriah Heep props Andy!! Their albums from Salisbury through to Sweet Freedom represent as good a run as any heavy band in the early seventies.
Over time Heep has surpassed Purple on my turntable.
Quite right about the early Who tunes. 'I Can't Explain' kicked off a chain of incomparable hit singles between 1965 and '68 that has been unmatched not only in terms of musical diversity and lyrical content, but in the escalation of volume to power and the transformation of pop to rock. IMO, they and the Jeff Beck-era Yardbirds (and to a degree the Beatles) grabbed cues from the earliest Kinks singles and crafted tunes that creatively combined new takes on musicianship with topical lyrics. 'I'm A Boy', 'Substitute', 'Pictures of Lily', 'Happy Jack'.... In terms of lyrical content many Townshend-penned compositions remain at the cutting edge of social relevance nearly 60 years later.
For a great rock album, try 'Burning Japan', the live 1994 release from Glenn Hughes. Here is the opening track, with Ian Haugland's drumming. Ripping stuff!

Patton's voice is jaw-dropping.
I once bumped into Mike at a Diamanda Galas gig. Not surprised he was a fan.
"And this *swish* was one of Bonham's frisbees."
"That was back when I had 'lead in pencil' ". Now that's a keeper! Nice romp here Andy, of course those are Bonham hit marks, you're living in the Shire.
I saw the Coverdale/Lord/Paice line up at the Glasgow Apollo during the Lovehunter tour. Phenomenal line up and sound.
The accent was pure Brummie and Andy’s so good at it because he is too
Great choices Andy 😊
Great choices, Andy. Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving a shout to Bloodsucker, you're the first person to ever mention it and I fucking love that song ❤️❤️
I'm not sure I would classify Heroes as a straight rock album, side two is full of prog/ambient experimentation.
My favourite rock albums and influences on me would be:
Deep Purple in Rock
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
The Who - Who's Next
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
Free - Fire and Water
Slade - Slayed?
AC/DC - Powerage
Status Quo - Quo
Led Zeppelin II
When I was a kid, I always sang "I'm Free" holding up 3 fingers (like a child with a speech impediment) and then, when singing "I Can See For Miles", I'd hold up 4 fingers. Boy, was I clever. Still, I cracked myself up. Definitely loved the early Who.
Thanks Andy, glad to see you've sorted out your lighting issues.
Bloodsucker, F yeah, my 50+ year old friends and I jam that with my 15 year old bass playing son. Fun song to play.
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day Andy ❤😊
That indeed is a really good list 👌 Ace Of Spades, Van Halen I and Highway To Hell are one of my favourite rock albums of all time as well. And anything of Bowie from Young Americans to Scary Monsters is fantastic.
Vol. 4's cover is sublime. Also my favorite when Master of Reality isn't!
Ace of Spades, the cover is apparently a builders yard in Barnet
Yup it was shot in a sandpit in Barnet
Hard Loving Man. Love that gallop riff.
An interesting video to me would be bands turning from pop to rock. To me, I Can See For Miles is a great example as is Tin Soldier by Small Faces.
Your hair is phenomenal. I wish I had that 10 years from now. ...it's long but I worry about it thinning, which probably makes it even thinnererer
I drowned in Deep Purple in the 70's however I only heard Come Taste The Band for the first time around 2010. It's now my favorite Purple studio album.
Back in the late 70s when I was about 13 or 14 years of age my favourite album was Regatta De Blanc by The Police . I can clearly remember my cousin (who was the same age) bringing Highway to Hell for me to listen to. To be honest I didn't like it very much ; it sounded very course and abrasive and lacked melody . Today I can appreciate it more than I did at that time but Regatta De Blanc is a much more interesting musical album IMO.
I panicked for a second Andy at 14:50 minutes when you said 'I'm just going to pull out something here' just after lamenting the lack of 'lead in my pencil'!
More people need to know about them and you have a great platform here. 👍
Yea, Who's Next great album. You are right if they had only done say, Live at Leeds they would still be up there as a one of the great rock n rollers of all time. The monster Moon the roaring vocals of Daltrey and the manic Townsend on guitar and within all of that kinetic energy there was the immovable stillness of Entwistle on bass.
I tend to think of Who Are You as a natural evolution, and perhaps necessary self-recrimination on Pete’s part. But not unexpected, definitely revelatory, and keeping in with his almost literary bent. And be willing to bet there are a few among us who have traveled those steps.
Good picks!
Love Supernaut and love your evocation of it's genesis Andy! I always dug that percussion bit in the middle and couldn't quite place what the rhythm was - glad you clarified it was calypso. It just shows what an underrated drummer Bill Ward is. And his playing can be quite jazzy (e.g. 'Wicked World' off Live At Last/Past Lives).
11:19 Damn, that's one cool-lookin' dude. 🔥
Good list. Vol. 4!!
You forgot to add Astral Weeks… 😉
They have made such a mockery of the R&R HOF I now feel 2 of MY favorite bands growing up deserve consideration, Boston and Styx.
Throw in the Cars
@@CraigHollabaugh It's a joke they're not in already. I totally agree
@@user-qb1sm3rk9r It doesn't appear there's any persuading this clown show committee. They ask for fan vote and then don't induct the winner, see DMB, Dave Matthew Band, 2020.
@@user-qb1sm3rk9r R&R HOF is a joke, fun place to visit though.
Nice choices Andy... Can't argue with any of them....FREE - FIRE & WATER....Love that also...
I need to correct you Andy, both Fishbone and Faith No More started around the same time, FNM’s first album “We Care A Lot” with Chuck Mosley on vocals was released in 1985 and Fishbone’s first release which was a self titled Ep came out in 1985 too, their first full length album “In Your Face” came out in 1986, so both bands coincided with each other and the first FNM album to have Mike Patton on vocals was the third album “The Real Thing” and was released in 1989.
Proceded by Mudhoney??
@@danpearce4547 Mudhoney’s first release was an EP too, Superfuzz Bigmuff which was released in 1988.
Nice. According to Wikipedia, both bands formed the same year - 1979 - too. Nothing taken away from Faith No More, but full props to Fishbone, too!
@@sspbrazil And before that Mark Arm was in Green River with Stone and Jeff from PJ, what a seminal Seattle group!
@@sashaames9952 so? Weren’t talking about Seattle bands here until someone brought up Mudhoney, the discussion was about Faith No More and Fishbone.
I love the Who “Meaty, Beaty Big and Bouncy” compilation. Has my favorite stuff. “Substitute” is unbelievable. (And Richard Thompson chose “A Legal Matter” for his greatest songs of the Millennium shows! There’s a story worth looking up).
Supernaut is my favorite song. The commentary here about it is spectacular!
Pure Brummie!! An Aussie who lived in Cov for 5 years, spent all my time in Brum, and miss my wonderful Brummie mates. Thanks, Andy, for the trip down audio memory lane!
Cover of Ace of Spades photo taken on a council sand pit in Barnet north London !
The Tubes from Remote Control up to Love Bomb. : four favorite rock albums. The Tubes always put some funkiness into their rock. Love them to death. Machine Gun Etiquette by the Damned. Rattus by the Stranglers.
I will be cranking “The real thing” today, this album was the main reason I put a cd player in my car back in 89. Haven’t listened to it for ages, thanks for reminding me💚
1980 was one hell of a year for rock music . Ace of Spades was just one classic released that year .
You have featured some epic and classic albums in this video .
Nine favorite Rock albums :
AC/DC..."Back in Black"
Aerosmith..." Get Your Wings"
Boston..."Boston"
Def Leppard..." High n' Dry"
FOGHAT..."LIVE"
Judas Priest..."Defenders of the
Faith
KISS..."ALIVE II"
Styx..."Grand Illusion"
Some extras
ZZ TOP..." Deguello"
Joe Walsh..." The Smoker I Drink,
The Player I Get"
The Who..." Who's Next"
Van Halen..."VH II"
Andy, love your video and your comment about looking like Gandalf was priceless
Glad you enjoyed it
I still love Rock and Roll
Made me laugh and v happy. Great monologue.
Thanks, Andy, for finally mentioning my fav rock band, The Who. I agree that their older singles were fantastic, but Tommy and Quadrophenia were PROG; were they not?
Great to see some love for Mike Patton and Faith No More. Very gifted musicians and they even spawned a new genre, although they hate being responsible for it. I still think Angel Dust is one of the most mind blowing albums ever.
The accent was Brummie, from the Black Country of Birmingham.
Sabbath. Priest. Something was in the water round the midlands, back then!
As much as I hate to be pedantic, Birmingham and the Black Country are next door neighbours, but not the same place.
I did NOT know "the Shire" was inspired by Worcestershire. O My God I'm a friggin hobbit.
Enjoyable stuff! Good to be reminded about that Faith No More album, and great to see Come An' Get It get mentioned. It is for me the best-sounding and most consistent Whitesnake album of any era. I would have included Fire of Unknown Origin by Blue Oyster Cult and The Wild, Willing and the Innocent by UFO since I do not find a bad or filler song on either of them. Thanks to my cousins for getting me into Motorhead and Whitesnake and my interest in hard rock/heavy metal...
And yeah Bloodsucker is an amazing song, particularly Gillan's singing........."ah NO NO NO!!!"
Re Deep Purple - tough call - Fireball and Machine Head are so strong. Fireball is hugely neglected.
Fireball Is My Favorite Deep Purple Album.
Agreed....Fireball is the hidden gem of the Mark 2 catalogue.
I listen to Status Quo or Slade on new year's Eve...
Sometimes B52's too...
I see Bowie as Prog. The Low trilogy proof of it. My fave Bowie is Scary Monsters; with Prog all over it. and Faith no More is my fave band associated with the "grunge" and "nu-metal" movements. Led Zeppelin iv contains the most popular prog song ever- "Stairway to Heaven". and per the Who, for years I preferred Who to Beatles and Stones when I was a young teen. Grew to like Pete solo more than the later Who.
Cliff Williams is one hell of a bass player! I first came across him with the band Home's self titled album, then backtracked to their first album 'Pause for a Hoarse Horse' only to find Clive John (Clint Space) from Man playing keyboards! BTW Check out Dreamer on 'Home' .. Mick Stubbs and Laurie Wisefield giving it some welly!
I love Bowie and glad you've finally given him a mention. Heroes has got some great stuff on it. But if you're talking about rock I'd go for Aladdin Sane and the first side of Diamond Dogs. Even though it's a great album I've always thought Ziggy is the weakest of the 3 glam albums he did. Aladdin Sane is like Ziggy on Steroids. Mick Ronson's gnarly guitar intro to Cracked Actor, Jean Genie. You've even got some avant garde piano on the title track. Side one of DD is one of my favourite sides of music along with side 1 of Zep 4 and side 1 of Roxy Musics debut. The opening spoken word intro of Future Legend, Diamond Dogs, Sweet Thing, Candidate/Sweet Thing Reprise and Rebel Rebel. Absolutely stunning. Regarding Whitesnake I always loved Ready and willing, not a weak track on it.
Hang on... I used to live just off Reservoir Road. We might have been near neighbours.
My 10 favorite albums has been done too many times . Smart move !
The Supernaut riff has a boiling polluted sound like it’s emerging from a smoke stack.
I was in my mid teens early 80s and saw a lot of great rock bands.
I think The Scorpions are really underrated, they were hugely impressive live, as were UFO.
I was also fortunate to see Van Halen at Donington touring their 1984 album, though AC/DC stole that show, naturally!
Bernie Marsden Mick Moody era Whitesnake is one of the best bands to ever live. Live in the Heart of the City is one of the best live albums ever
What a great list, man, love em all! did you pick up Scary Monsters since? On BS Vol 4, too bad Changes is just a bit sappy, but otherwise so great!
Shocked for the lack of UFO!
Australian 70's glam rock band Supernaut, named themselves after the Sabbath song. Most were English immigrants who went back to England and got involved with some notable rockers there. Their debut album went gold, and the big hit was the controversial I Like It Both Ways (1976).
I was going to comment that they also sang a song called 'Downtown' that included the lyrics 'Got a rocket in my pocket' but upon research it appears memory serves me incorrectly. Does it ring a bell?
@@gwincondon No, not that one. I used to have the album, but don't remember that track.
My first gig was Whitesnake at St Albans City hall in 1979, I was 16 and still remember it to this day. Conversely, 40 years later I bought a copy of John Lennon’s Imagine from a pub cum record shop in Wirksworth in the Lake District that had come from Bernie Marsden’s own record collection! Cost me a tenner!
The cover shot for Ace of Spades was taken in a sand and gravel quarry near Barnett, North London.
“I’d do meself a mischief!”
Lmfao Andy!
About goddamned time you mentioned Bowie! 🙂
Dennis Davis was such an underappreciated on drums...he was a beast...great stuff with Roy Ayers as you said...RIP since 2020 I think?
Indeed.
“In Rock” was archetypal, despite its production.
Well done, mate.🇨🇦
Good list. Agree on Purple: my no1 would be Made in Japan, no2 Come taste the band.
Sabbath; the Dio Years compilation has been rocking my world lately.
The best era of sabbath if you ask me…
@@misterknightowlandco I agree, but we’re likely in the minority.
@@franciscocanas5686 we are. Idk why ozzy can’t even sing 😂
@@misterknightowlandco Concurred!
@@franciscocanas5686 Agreed. We are indeed in the minority.
Lovely Brummie accent Andy.
We want the next video all in Brummie 😄
Aladdin Sane (1913-1938-197?)
Put that track on your finest system, at a generous volume, and enjoy what Bowie got Garson to achieve (his career highlight).
Andy, have you ever watched Jonesy's Jukebox? He does some very funny interviews, and the one he did with Coverdale was one of the funniest. The one with Derek Smalls from S Tap was also good.
That sounds like my thing
Love Faith No More to bits. Fantastic band.
It was hilarious when Roddy Bottum came out.
Man...
I lost a first pressing of "My Generation" (clean)
in a batch I sold when I was down and out.
Ahggg!
Always cool.
Peace on earth.
Who's Next, Abraxas, Fragile, Close to the Edge, Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering, Quadraphenia were fav 8 track lol. ZoZo, Sabbath, Hendrix, Santana etc etc etc on vinyl,
I first heard FNM's Epic on MTV in around 1990 where it got a lot of air play. Immediately bought the album - which is fantastic - although production isn't great (at least on the CD anyway). I dont think it was ever remastered but it needs to be.
Fudge Tunnel - Hate Songs In E Minor
+1 for Vol.4. The whole album is so strong. And Supernaut!!
you're sat there, right in it.
I have a reproduction signature of Bonham on a Zep picture that I love. A drum head with Bonham divots ....... that would be cherished
When you have great taste in music, anything you pull out of your collection is epic!! Seriously, a few years back my mom was clearing stuff out of the house and she handed me a big box filled with cassette tapes that my brother and I listened to in our teenage years. They wereoriginals, not dubs but still, to me, just throwing those cassettes away felt like burning books... I took it to my local record store that also deals in used records and when the guy there opened the box he went mad!! "That's all amazing stuff you got there, all of the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Doors Pink Floyd... There's some Primus, Rage Against The Machine, Soundgarden, the early Weezer stuff!!!" ...So yeah, the brother and I had a pretty broad pallette of stuff we listened to. The guy at the counter told me to go get whatever I wanted in the store and he'd cut me a deal. I got me some nice LP's and I was happy to see my stuff fetured in the arrivals pics on his store's social media and it all flew off the shelves! It made me so happy that it didn't go to waste!!
BTW, my brother had taken up bass, then guitar back then. I had started playing drums and after many trials and tribulations with my steady bandmate and various projects we hauled him on board as a guitar player in our band and my 60's Brit-rock influences play off nicely against his more metal and alt-rock edge with all that chemistry and osmosis we developped as teens.
I'm a classic rock fan, but I recommend a more pop lp that I feel is solid...Songs from the Big Chair by Tears for Fears...The Working Hour is a really great song so check that out on youtube.
First album I bought was The Who Sell Out - I was 9
BTW that concrete obelisk is about 10 miles up the road from me!
That was the cover of "Who's Next." What the heck is that concrete thing that they all peed on??
I think i've listened to Bowie more than any other band or artist.
My Top 9 fav Rock albums!:
Rush - Fly By Night
Led Zeppelin II
Thin Lizzy - Fighting/Jailbreak/Black Rose
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
Scorpions - Savage Amusement
Queen - Queen
Judas Priest - Point of Entry
Hahaha, can’t choose but on Lizzy 🎉
"I'm going to pull something out, now don't worry." 😂
Should've been 11 because, well, these go to 11😎
I would have to find room for Thin Lizzy, Gillan and Iron Maiden on my list. I'd pick Mob Rules for Sabbath, Northwinds for Coverdale, and Another Perfect Day for Motorhead.
Hey ANDY! Let's take a dive into Bowie!
I never warmed up with David Bowie too, not his Mistake, the only Record I really dug immediately was his last with Donny McCaslin.
The Etruscan Word for Mask was Persona.
I think for me he wore to many Personas, which Is absolutely Okay in Art, but this last one felt more direct, so I could relate to it much easier.
It is somewhat sad that it took me so long to get to him (I always knew that he is important.)
I think the Low album is Bowie's best.
You could do a special on "Slide it in" or "Come taste the band" or "Burn" , that's DC at his best
When rock got heavy I shunted off into folk rock, then roots and Americana (not the posturing kind you mock, Andy). Hey call me weak. So be it.
See if I can come up with nine favorite rock albums;
1). “Secret Treaties” - Blue Oyster Cult,
2). “Montrose” - Montrose,
3). “Machine Head” - Deep Purple,
4). “Paranoid” - Black Sabbath,
5). “Rocks” - Aerosmith,
6). “Led Zeppelin lV” - Led Zeppelin,
7). “Bleach” - Nirvana,
8). “Wild Planet” - B52s,
9. “The Black Album” - The Damned.
That’s all folks.
I'll go with;
1. Vol. 4 - Black Sabbath
2. Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
3. Come Taste The Band - Deep Purple
4. Live - Uriah Heep
5. Waiting For The Night - The Runaways
6. Kingdom Come - Sir Lord Baltimore
7. Ace Frehley - '78 Solo
8. Rocks - Aerosmith
9. Exile On Main Street - Rolling Stones
Wild Planet fabulous album. Ricky Wilson's sound was singular good.
