The Budgie/Nazareth combination was extraordinary. Came to know them via Alan Freeman of course - listened to them under the covers with my little transistor radio.

[@stevedavis7020]

First 20 seconds of In for the Kill should convince anyone that Budgie are the first Metal band ever (and very likely the best).

[@harleypite1867]

One of the first metal bands for sure, but the first one that we can call "heavy metal" is Black Sabbath. When Budgie release their first album "Black Sabbath" and "Paranoid" had already seen the light.

[@ronaldsuprynowicz3959]

Yeah this doesn't come close to Sabbath. This is blues funk in comparison its pretty cool though.

[@ironicallyvague1265]

[@BradStorey692nite]

Actually Lucifer's Friend's first album came out 3 weeks before Black Sabbath so they are recognized as the first heavy metal album! It's highly recommended if you're into hard rock/heavy metal.

[@rickburleson6720]

Im 62. I first heard Budgie when I worked near San Antonio Texas early 70s. There was an AM radio station better than any FM Ive ever heard. After hearing them I had to have their music importing some of it. Because of that radio station I was the first in my small town and even Dallas to hear and turn on people to Budgie,Scorpions who played in the small town in Germany I was located at,Judas Priest in the beginning when they destroyed any band they opened for and the first time ever to hear eruption Van Halen. Then the station dissapeared from the universe. It was such a wonderful time driving the car late at night with friends and max volume 2 mph for hours except when I was stopped and didnt know it due to microdots,strawberry fields,and the liquid kind that came in murine eye wash bottles that gave me a few out of the body experiences. I thought Budgie was fucking great!

Way back when, not many of us had a Budgie LP in amongst the Zep, Sabbath, Purple and Quo, hardly anyone had heard of them, glad they're getting more recognition now to a new generation. Like early Rush and Motorhead, there is something simple and visceral about a three piece.
