Budgie - Living On Your Own (1974)

[@Cardi84]

Killer track, killer album, killer band, killer everything !

[@123vid321]

Mr. Burke Shelley is so extraoryginary singer. His voice, tones, everything. And great bass player too. Such a talent. Budgie deserves so much more credit they have in early heavy music.

[@donalddrysdale246]

it's always been that the more educated about music an audience is the better. Cream were very lucky that way.

[@milossilva8630]

Rest in peace Mr Shelley😪🖤

[@lawrencesantana7253]

I saw them like 3 times live once with Legs Diamond opening and another with Moxy opening. The third, I cant remember, but I do remember Budgie.

[@FeelingShred]

huge CREAM fan here... I always think Cream did not the credit they deserve

[@FeelingShred]

Jack Bruce Robin Trower album is such a masterpiece

[@FeelingShred]

you know shit is about to get serious when the drummer is called Pete BOOT 🤣🤣🤣these guys are awesome

[@FeelingShred]

it cracks me up even more because it reminds me about the story of Pete Best (beatles) and how he sounds in the early demo recordings, he had a pounding sound and he used a lot of kick drum (it sounded awesome but maybe not for their style)

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

What a killer track!~ We love Budgie Australia....RIP Vale Burke Shelly

[@FeelingShred]

these guys had EVERYTHING 🤘🤘what a musical JOURNEY this is, and it's just ONE song WTF 🤣👌

[@GRILLBUOY101]

Living on your own has the Beck Bolero vibe to it great tony Bourge lead guitar !

[@hernanalcaino5466]

You're absolutely right.......the same vibe¡¡

[@-n3v-]

I've not listened to this album since the mid 80's, I forgot how incredible this album and track is. Burke was a legend, RIP.

[@mannyruiz1954]

RIP Burke. Rock In Peace.

Don’t worry. He is rockin hard on the other side.

Great track, and I really like the guitar bolero in the middle. Tony Bourge is / was such an underrated guitarist.

[@123vid321]

"Tony Bourge is / was such an underrated guitarist." so true, and so sad

[@Treviscoe]

@@123vid321 I'm not sure it was "sad"; he retired from music to set up an antiques business and is apparently doing very well from it, and it was his choice to do that.

[@metalheadgamer80]

Treviscoe, Really? Was he interviewed recently or is this old news?

[@Treviscoe]

@@metalheadgamer80 Hi Joshua, This is all I know (from 2017); www.loudersound.com/features/now-yer-squawkin-the-story-of-burke-shelley-and-budgie In 2013 he released an album called "Crank It Up", though as far as I know it's only on digital; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bourge www.amazon.co.uk/Crank-Up-Tony-Bourge/dp/B01B2T695C

[@feellucky271]

@@Treviscoe I heard Metallicats do Bread Fan first on Garage Inc. and like Whiskey in the Jar it too was a great cover but the original in this case too to me is the best.1st time w On Your Own but like it so far.Tony is a great his work on Bread Fan is sublime.Gonna check out the links you left.Peace

[@steveaustin6467]

much missed budgie, and the great bass player burke

[@loveorconfusion]

Has a break of Becks Bolero in there ,BRILLIANT !!! Budgie ROCKS

[@jeremyblandford7669]

I think you'll find Budgie was around waaay before Beck

[@loveorconfusion]

@@jeremyblandford7669 Actually,.......NO, Jeff Beck was in the Yardbirds before Budgie even started. Budgie is a Great Band, though.

[@FeelingShred]

I'm discovering all this.... how the FUCK did they come up with these heavy strange sounds... I would love to hear the engineering behind all this

[@FeelingShred]

the ending on Stranded... NOTHING sounds like that in metal even today, let alone 1971

[@GRILLBUOY101]

so many fab songs .i wonder if my older brother ever heard of budgie.he never mentioned em and i def dont ever remember him playing any so i guess not.or he like other bands more so he just played rush, purple , Aerosmith

[@BryanX64]

Very much like a sequel to "Parents" form the prior album. Both great tracks! RIP Burke Shelley

When you're living on your own And things around you start to go You're on your own, well baby you're on your own When I see it in your smile I can tell it ain't your style You're on your own, well baby you're on your own You're alone if you don't know it And pretty soon, it takes its toll Maybe I should ask you why You need everything But you ain't got it, cause you're living on your own One day soon this will be gone And the love of life it could be But 'til then you'll look at me Then you'll feel it grow And you'll always know You ain't got it living on your own And when I see you look at me And I can tell how it will be You're on your own well baby you're on your own I can tell the way you smile And just you wait and in a while You're on your own well baby you're on your own

Burke, Geedy are brothers from an other.

[@wenndingofoster5680]

The beginning sounds like Hibernation by the Amboy Dukes . This is what made Budgie a Household name , and the most popular 1970s Proto Metal act . A favorite of Metallica the most popular Metal band. I prefer Budgie , despite being such a huge band . Budgie is definitely my favorite superstar Big Name mainstream Metal act. I even like them as well as some of my favorite underground 1970s Proto Metal bands such as Dust , Backstreet Crawler , Dirty Tricks , and Atomic Rooster . Another big name 1970s Pop Rock band Van Halen would cover the song In For the Kill back when the bleach blonde Jewish frontman Davey Roth provided the Vocals for Van Halen . Despite the over slick Pop Cleanliness of the Ted Templeman's lightweight airy production if the weather is right someone with the proper allergies could hear the subliminal similarities between the Faster Van Halen cuts , and In For the Kill. Although they mellowed it out and watered down the ferocity the Budgie influence the early Van Halen was undeniable

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

Budgie are not metal whatsoever.

[@rustinpolaris4074]

not metal whatsoever? You heard Guts or Breadfan? Heavy riffs

[@loveorconfusion]

@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 Melt The Ice Away!

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

@@loveorconfusion I just said they were not metal. Didn’t say they weren’t good. To me Black Sabbath was the only band you could call metal around 70-75. The others are just rock bands but terrific ones like Budgie Lucifers Friend Captain Beyond Deep Purple Zeppelin and my favorite Uriah Heep.

[@loveorconfusion]

@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 What about Judas Priest,The Scorpions , Motorhead?

[@GRILLBUOY101]

i think alot if rockers get older and turn to country.not me but hey it is the listeners choice.if i do welcome a new genre i will always still be a rocker.

[@johnthonig8832]

Burke died Jan 10 2022 ☮️✌️☹️😭🙏

[@GRILLBUOY101]

yeah bummer he was a great player.i wanted to see them but the gig was csncelled cause craig g was in Dios funeral.RIP DIO, BURKE, LEMMY, BON SCOTT

Fodastico!

[@pookiemartinez1745]

Beck, Page, Hopkins, Jones, and Moon

[@loveorconfusion]

Becks Bolero , that would have been a Super Group.

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

Rush influenced Budgie.

[@soggyfranko4631]

Budgie began a few years before Rush.

[@wacawstygar1180]

When Rush realised their first album Budgie already had 3 or 4 albums
