BUDGIE - Who Do You Want For Your Love (1975 UK TV Performance) ~ HIGH QUALITY HQ ~

[@chooqi7]

Two kinds of people on this planet. Those who knew Budgie and those unfortunate souls who didn’t

[@NickNicometi]

Classic rock fan for 45 years, I am dumbfounded to just now learn of Budgie!

[@DEAKY3GAVUEL]

Rush is better

[@harringtonfalls]

To right my friend

[@eudymaverickmentor]

@@DEAKY3GAVUEL So? Budgie predates Rush by 3 years. By the time Rush released their first album, Budgie had already released 4 albums. Their best known song, "Breadfan", was released in June 1973. So, while I agree Rush is better, the statement doesn't really have a meaning.

[@knowmusicman157]

@@DEAKY3GAVUEL Rush is the Canadian Budgie.

[@officialwillieg2001]

R.I.P Burke Shelley. Very Underrated bassist in a very underrated band.

[@darthuncle]

If not for Metallica they'd be even less known.

[@peteraustin370]

Followed Budgie since 1971...so very sad Burke Shelley has passed on....been hoping to see Budgie again.....Father Time is creeping up on us..!!!...Those first five albums will stand forever...!!!!!

[@LorieGunn]

Same here. I knew of Budgie while in high school hool and beyond!

[@kynansmusic9724]

Tony Bourge is such an underrated guitarist! His riffs are just pure magic!

[@joenutz2738]

I’m a huge music fan and just discovered these guys. Holy shit how are they not played or talked about at all.

[@InAtlasAtLast]

Yep same and totally agree. Was just checking out early metal and this came up

[@LorieGunn]

I know right? Super great band back in the day and today!

John Burke Shelly❤Thank you so much, for enriching my existence with your beautiful music....We will meet again brother🍻

[@yotelodije8943]

R.I.P. Burke Shelley, thanks for the music

[@Freefallr60]

Like the others. I've been spoonfed the greatest music early on in life. These cats are truly great!! The drummer. Man he's nice and tight, they gel so nice together. How did I miss this? I miss the good ole 3 man bands. I just heard of these guys tonight from tidal

[@Joe90TV]

Just the most under rated band of their generation.... from a Breadfan

[@MultiKmicic]

Not in my country. In Poland they have many, many fans

[@trevorhoward2505]

and Ireland

[@mael-strom9707]

...and Zeta Reticuli.

[@timprescott4634]

FINALLY! A valid “underrated” comment. Not sure why they never broke. Maybe too eclectic?

[@lauralee5722]

I wish my "Parents" had told me about them.😉

[@elvisman2000]

Rest in peace Burke, you legend. Thank you for everything you gave us and left us with.

[@hedgehog9475]

RIP Burke. Your music will stay with us as long as we live.

[@oliaslives6986]

Budgie had a lot of great albums during their career.....but for me, they hit their peak on BANDOLIER. Damn, talk about a flawless, butt-kicking, in your face rock & roll album. The first time I heard "Breaking All the House Rules," it was just indescribable. One of the most underrated power trios of all time.....but for those of us who KNEW, it was like being in heaven.

[@MattM1229]

? I'd say it was over after Impeckable when Tony left. If i were brittinia and impeckable were amazing albums as well.

[@StonedMeadowOfDoom]

I agree I think they peaked with Bandolier and never reached that high again.

[@rrrandommman]

I like something of all music genres, but I don't have much rock, this is incredible and Bandolier is perfect.

[@robikalena9372]

Saw them live twice in the early 70s. Brilliant

[@CursedFortune]

Nah the peak was inpeckable

[@dh-flies]

I've been surrounded by music my entire life. Playing in bands for close to 30 years and have never heard of these guys. I feel like I've been cheated. Great chord changes, and the ending of this song was spectacular. I'm going to try to find this album somewhere. It's nice finding a treasure every so often.

[@RobtheGretsch]

I’m so glad I got to see Budgie many times as a young teen back in the 70’s in the Marquee Club in London’s Soho. My lasting memory of them was “Breadfan” turned up to 11! Man they were loud, a great period to be influenced by such great bands, these bands are still on my playlist and will forever be there.❤

[@stuartwebster829]

Superb....takes me back to my school days when carrying around a Budgie album was guaranteed to demand respect. Brilliant tight playing from a trio who had learned their craft

[@prehistoricwatergun0136]

That guitar tone in the intro majestic and the groove after words is tight as fuck .

[@serenitynow66]

Absolutely brilliant. My favourite band of all time.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@07luzelena]

RIP Burke, one true heavy metal icon :/

[@Irishmuffcabbagyurt]

Crazy that Budgie didn't become huge. Very few bands can pull off the contrast between riff heavy parts and beautiful melodic passage's like they can.

[@chooqi7]

The reason is clear check out Burke’s interview. He made it clear that he was in it for the love of music and not for the money. For the notorious record bosses this translates into our souls are not for sale.

Stunningly. I cry every time I hear it, for 45 years, since I first heard this song.

[@MBIT-us9vj]

I got to see Budgie back in the mid 70's at the Crazy Horse Salon in Harker Hights Texas good band

[@happyuk06]

One of the most underrated bands ever. And Kairdiff boys to boot!

[@rtek5]

Apparently. I didn't discover them until the mid 80s. And I listened to music like this in the 70s as a teen.

[@frankjansen7237]

I found Budgie's "Bandolier" album again a couple of years ago. It has aged remarkably well, even better than when it first came out. This is the stand-out track for me on a stunning album of power metal/blues.

[@amy792]

I do not u understand how I only heard of Budgie because I thankfully stumbled on to them . I cannot believe how good they are or that I'm hearing Grunge from 1971!

[@Hemswell]

The music they produced spans generations and has nothing to compare with. It is completely unique, brilliant, so full of life and an insperation. This band was brought together from something special. Shelley, you and your band inspired me.

[@orestbuciora4174]

WHAT A TRIO !!, COME ON YOU PEOPLE!!! , VERY UNDERREITED BAND EVER !!!

[@sabitahazari9222]

I can't believe I am 50 and am only just discovering this AMAZING band. I must've been pretty stoned, cuz I would NEVER miss something SO DAMN GOOD. Thanks for posting Budgie, my new favorite band!!!

A groovy one from Budgie ! so Cool ! all there songs are so Cool !

[@TheBenno57]

One of the best consistent live bands in the 70s and 80s and deserved wider recognition than they received.

[@deanmatthewclegg28]

Funky, bluesy, melodic, those time changes, and then that vocal. What a piece of work! Superb.

[@yomahmaful]

Why have I never heard of them!!! RIP 🤘🏼❤️‍🔥🤘🏼

[@doktoruzo]

Wonderful band, so under-rated...should have been a far 'bigger' success. Saw them live quite a few times around 1980-82, fabulous.

[@gocowboys11000]

great band, loved them since high school. saw them at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in 77. not Ray Philips on drums, Williams i think

[@laiftaim]

Rest in Peace, Shelley. Thank you so much. We'll miss you.

[@ianbirch8846]

Rare live footage of the best line up of this band.... don't understand the dislikes.

This is top notch musicianship in so many levels...all the right elements are present with this band: great vocals w/bass, great guitar and drum kit work.

[@spazmoaka]

Definitely getting a "Master of Puppets" vibe from the chromatic riff at 2:06. No surprise given how much of a fan Metallica were...

[@rocknobby]

Absolutely brilliant musicians, songs and albums these guys were not shown there dues.

[@jean-renepirlet7726]

One of my favorite bands, and certainly one of the most underrated! :-( Impeckable is gorgeous

[@Honeysucklebommie]

Me too back then, these guys and The Pirates, another genre, but also a smoking hot three piece.

[@jean-renepirlet7726]

So I'll check the Pirates :-)

[@Honeysucklebommie]

They wrote Shakin all over, I thought Elvis made it famous States side, but Chad Allen and the Expressions took it to the States through Canada .But for a London pub style three piece in later years, they have the real heavy rocknroll style and the guitarist Mick Green was many other guitarists mentor to his own style of simultaneous rhythm and lead work that made the band sound so full.'Dont mention it" and 'You dont own me no more' probably good tracks to start on.

[@NeilThompson30]

Honeysucklebommie How did Elvis make 'Shakin' all over' famous!!!?

[@Honeysucklebommie]

Yeah you are right,sorry it was someone else who took it to the masses state wide,not Elvis. Wasnt it one of the original Guess Who people in their first band out of Canada who did it over there?

[@stevemccart9109]

One of my favorite bands when in high school. Great under rated band.

[@MasterTapes1960]

These guys were way ahead of their time.

[@amy792]

Exactly my reaction, I cannot believe Budgie was making music like this in the early 70s and even more mysterious , how have I never heard of this band before 2020- now I'm obsessed!

[@cachosantillan1100]

Powers trío!!! Que grande esta banda, la escucho desde los 70' y no paran de asombrarme con el sonido, Budgie genios!!!! Salve salve rocanroll!!!!

[@TheCookrsm]

Saw them in Norwich in early 70's. Loved em.

[@cletusawreetusawrightus1491]

for the longest time I thought I'd never find a Budgie fan outside of San Antonio. I know they developed quite a following in St Louis too back in the early days. they're certainly no secret anymore. man, do we love these guys for letting us adopt them and recording that great live album at beautiful Sunken Gardens in S.A. Tx

[@johnthonig8832]

Joe Anthony and Lou turned me on to this band. Austin here ✌️

[@martinmacias5698]

Awesome they closed the song with the same frenetic ending you hear in Black Velvet Stallion, released a year later!

[@gweedomurray9923]

These guys are the real deal. Grand Funk Railroad and MC5 were doing good heavy stuff in the late 60s, early seventies.

[@redshaftedflicker]

BUDGIE. They're one of the most versatile bands in rock n' roll.

[@lindaguzman8663]

Budgie is a trio of excellent musicians from the 70's like the likes of Rush also. They played what you really call rock and roll. I love their music!!! 😍

[@RCAvhstape]

That band is super tight. Look how they nail the ending perfectly. That's how it's done by real musicians.

[@rpcarnell]

when they opened for Rush in 1977, people saw the bass player/ singer was in both bands.

[@SotR59]

+Ygor Nimoy Though I knew that wasn't Geddy that was the first thing I thought how much they look alike

[@panzerken]

+Ygor Nimoy was thinking the same!

[@erwin5711]

+Ygor Nimoy Let's be clear about this: Rush is nothing more than a cheap Canadian version of this band. Budgie was so far ahead of their time. And, let's face it, they had the coolest logo of any band, ever! My black Budgie tee-shirt with the parakeet in a fighter pilot's flight suit holding his helmet was a better chick magnet than five puppies in a basket. For that reason alone, I am totally indebted to this band!

[@carmelodigrazia728]

+Ed Erwin don't be exaggerate man. they're a good band, but respectfully, there's no comparison between the two.

[@BobJones-uu8bl]

+Ygor Nimoy Budgie recorded a string of brilliant studio albums in the 1970s; toying with jazz- and funk- rock, they were the tightest three-piece band I ever heard. They were also great live and in the 1970s were as good as any other band in the world. But I fear they were largely passed their best by 1980. I have never rated Rush at all, and certainly never thought of them as in the same class as Budgie. But I will listen again - maybe I'm in for a pleasant surprise ...

[@greattunesking1]

Wow, The best rock group of the 1970's Live and on stage. To see them like this is truly amazing. Look at Tony Bourge play. I mean he really knows his stuff. And Burke Shelly can sing like a saint. And last but not least Tony Powell on drums. Do you young people out there have any idea how excellent this 3 piece hard rock band really is?. Please listen to all of their earlier albums from 1972 on you will not believe the sound and how great they really were. I hope they are still playing somewhere. Very underrated and very missed.

[@bonobobill]

+Larry Long That's actually Steve Williams on the drums!

[@greattunesking1]

Wow. Your correct. Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate that.

[@bishopswoodcrafts]

Budgie were hugely respected within the metal industry, hence so many of their songs were covered by top groups. Metallica covered a number of Budgie songs stating they were as inspiring as Black Sabbath. Indeed I saw both Budgie and Sabbath a number of times in Birmingham in the early seventies and both were top notch. To compare them to Rush is an insult to these Welsh wizzards.

[@TheBudgiedrummer]

I loved playing drums on Bandolier. Tony Powell or Steve Williams. Take your pick.

[@Sabredance66]

I prefer Steve Williams over Tony Powell to be honest. Just saying!

[@karlkelley8353]

I was so fortunate to have listened. Thank you Budgie.

[@TheSecondNature]

love how instead of using a vibrato-tremolo pedal he's actually harassing his guitar's volume knob

[@threadbear]

Brilliant stuff. I knew about Budgie when I was growing up in the 70s, especially Breadfan. But I forgot about them as time passed. Recently I have taken time to listen to their other early stuff. I think it's so good, it is difficult to listen to anything else!

Budgie did several great albums, but Bandolier was the peak for me. Breaking all the House Rules and this track are about as good as hard rock gets, yet they can be subtle as well.

[@charliehollis1486]

I thought of the criticism and abuse that was poured upon Geddy Lee early in the career of Rush for his shrill vocals. I'm certain that Burke Shelley must have been subject to similar disdain. Having said that, he is obviously immensely talented, like Lee, even if his vocals might be thought of as "an acquired taste." Budgie kills it! Great music!
