BUDGIE | "BREADFAN" (reaction)

[@ronwalker403]

Budgie was an outstanding rock outfit, however, they were vastly underrated and under appreciated. This song is a classic. Budgie has a library of excellent music. RIP Burke Shelley.

[@paulfenwick8767]

R.I.P. Tony Bourge.

[@sixbladeknife44]

One of the most underrated bands of the classic rock era, the first five albums are all gems 👌

I’m a huge music guy especially rock/metal. How in the hell is this band not talked about more. Every new song of theirs im introduced to I fall in love with

[@PeregrineTravers]

Budgie were fantastic. A Welsh band so underrated like the other Welsh group Man.

[@bengazeley9730]

Very cool, love Budgie. In for the kill is my favourite of theirs.

[@bradhernandez5823]

More Budgie please. Thank you.

[@letstalk3265]

One of the greatest power trios EVER. Sqwark and In For The Kill are great albums.

[@hoolihanmick5897]

Ah....Budgie. Gotta love 'em. Welsh Metal. Tony Bourge, such a great guitarist. Great humour in their song titles too. Who can forget 'In the heat of a docker's Armpit'. Saw them several times in the '70's. They could make one hell of a racket for 3 piece. Deserved way more recognition and respect than they ever got in their heyday but influenced soooo many later bands. Glad you liked them.

[@TyeDyeGuyRV]

I regularly laugh at the title "You're the Biggest Thing Since Powdered Milk (Baby)"

[@SightAfterDark]

Thanks for being here!

[@bishopswoodcrafts]

and of course "Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman" or "You're the Biggest thing since Powdered Milk" Saw them at last 10 times in the 70's and they always delivered... twice at Birmingham Town Hall (England) with Judas Priest as their opening support act. Gotta love Budgie.

[@mikaelfridsen1632]

@@bishopswoodcrafts Never saw them, but one of my top favorite bands since I heard them first, which was about late 70s, was still an early teenager in rural Sweden then, not easy to find that kind of music,. and if you could, I could not afford more than an album a year or so. Until 12 years old I always wanted a Status Quo album, but about 14 I wanted Budgie, a cousin with more than a bit more budget than I had, got magazines. And of course got everything even far from reason from my family's perspective. Anyway he did have a lot of impacts to my taste of music I think, or probably did give me opportunity to listening to thing I did not now existed otherwise. The thing is, he got them by subscribing to some club, only a year or so older (-62 contra 63). Ranting, Budgie are still awesome, but a bit less so in the later albums, best album , well, conflicted, Never turn your back or in for the kill I think.

[@kranccanvil3482]

Hot as a docker´s armpit, from the album Squawk is great song

[@chazblitz]

These guys were mostly unknown in the US. I've heard them compared to Rush, but I really dont think so. They've got a good catalog of hard rockin tunes so I hope we hear more Budgie!

[@paulfenwick8767]

I think part of the comparison is the bass/vocalists. They are both different from "mainstream" rock vocalists but for me, Burke Shelley is a much better vocalist than Geddy Lee, who is tiresome to listen to after about 5 minutes. Rush are a bit more technical but Budgie rock better. Just my thoughts Chaz 🙂

[@chazblitz]

@paulfenwick8767 I like em both. I believe the comparison is because both singers operate in a higher register. The only time you could've compared them musically was with Rush's debut album, which was straight out hard rock.

[@jeffreymeyer4848]

Good on you for choosing the Budgie version and nut the Metallica cover!

[@SightAfterDark]

Hahaha we can't take all the credit. This was chosen by our Patrons on Patreon :)

[@bishopswoodcrafts]

Metallica are HUGE Budgie fans, they have covered several Budgie tracks.

[@charleschadwick8042]

I remember reading about Budgie in Creem magazine but never heard any until now. They were great!

[@kenhewitt7357]

Awesome band, see them many times live, always brilliant, check out Napoleon Bona part 1 and 2 or nude disintegrating parachutist woman, or parents all great tracks

[@SightAfterDark]

Thanks Ken!

[@irishkelly654]

So different, yet so close to RUSH!

[@johndrx165]

Great tune!

[@SightAfterDark]

Indeed :)

[@shoutinchuck3363]

Whoa, this was some headbanger music right here. Nice! Great guitar riffs and drumming. Sadly, this band wasn't on my radar screen back in the day. So thanks to a certain Brit on this channel for bringing us Yanks up to speed. 🤣And thanks for the review SAD. I never would've guessed you guys were Bread fans (or Bread Heads, as I like to call them). Who knew?

[@SightAfterDark]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Budgie! What d'ya know. Cool. My favorite Budgie tune is Can't See My Feelings, from a different album. This song's pretty good, though. I like the way Shelley sings it. Thank You.

Thank you!!!

[@charleschadwick8042]

Fantastic! and when I refer to a still voice, wow! she is wonderful! great choice!

[@SightAfterDark]

Thanks for listening

[@mikedown3219]

Tony Bourge was a fantastic guitarist. Try Hot as a Dockers Armpit (yes, that is a song title), Parents or Stranded for some of his best work.

[@paulfenwick8767]

check out S.A.D. reactions. They did a reaction to Parents about a year ago and it was really good 🙂

[@SightAfterDark]

Thanks Mike!

[@charleschadwick8042]

ok time for the big reveal.... What was the first album you bought using your money? mine was Sgt Pepper I was 8 two weeks allowance LOL

[@SightAfterDark]

Stadium Arcadium by RHCP :)

[@paulfenwick8767]

love the smirk on Tony Bourge's face at the beginning, like he knows he's playing a really bad ass riff, lol Burke Shelley's vocals and bass are brill too. Metallica did a version of this but is piss poor compared to this. Saw them a few times around this period and they never failed to impress. Feel special to have seen them in their prime. Good reaction 🙂

[@chazblitz]

I didn't like the Metallica version either. Another band virtually unknown in the US.
