Diamond Head - Am I Evil? (Remastered 2021) [Official Audio]

[@unperson5713]

This is nature's most valuable heavy metal. High quality goods, thanks for sharing.

[@joerocker237]

YES!!!!

[@blitera7261]

The beginning of thrash!

[@ArmandoBetti-n6p]

This is the real power of heavy metal.

[@AlexBarregon]

This is real British Metal 🎸🎸🎸

[@747jono]

Damned right ✅️ and the original keep your paws of it Metallica and any other DH and Budgie songs lol

[@thehellyousay]

Well, yes, they are British, after all. Rather thought that was obvious.

[@pastymansixtynine]

Sheffield steel that’s British Steel👍🏻

[@lta6494]

Britain invaded the US three times and changed the musical world forever. I couldn't imagine a world without The Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Budgie, Maiden, Priest, DH etc ... We may have invented rock n'roll but the British perfected it. \m/

[@grahamjeffries4566]

Child of its time

[@georgeedward1226]

This song sounds like it would be right at home on Black Sabbath's Sabotage album.

[@agustin9504]

The riff was inspired by that album said Brian himself, and I’m pretty sure the tone is also based on Iommi’s tone on Sabotage

[@monstermagnet3150]

Except this song is good 😉

[@raegandalbo9731]

Absolutely! But a little better

[@TheBatrachian]

@@raegandalbo9731 yup, I agree! 😜

[@theprojantrojan8606]

I've been waiting so long for this! Thank you so much for giving us this absolute gem and remastering it! Absolute legends.

[@Jeff-p6i]

I didn't realize how much Lars helped them by locating there original recordings that were lost by a m anager or whomever

[@laiskaKasper]

Best Diamond Head Song Ever!!!🎧💪🤘🎤🎸🥁😎🖤

[@BloodyArmourKnight]

It doesn't matter if you like Black, Thrash or even Death. Every time this song plays, you want to bang your head. A heavy classic.

[@devil5hlygrim972]

A million %

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Just to remember things, where do you think Celtic Frost 's Dethroned Emperor comes from ? Even Napalm Death had that riff on the first album

[@BloodyArmourKnight]

@@Nissardpertugiu You're right, I hadn't noticed the riff similarity in Dethroned Emperor. It's almost the same riff but slowed down.

[@BloodyArmourKnight]

@@Nissardpertugiu And I also think that the drumming in the song "Helpless" is an inspiration for the hardcore and grindcore bands that came later.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@@BloodyArmourKnight Its also a process its a Deep Purple thing, that got also in few Sabbath stuff , Budgie too, that inspired both metal and punk stuff in their greasy roots and first similar attitude. The intro of Keepin' time by Trapeze is quite brutal, especially for 1972. The Sweet had stuff like that, as an obscure band called BLAST in 1974, and a german band called Nightsun in 1972 very extreme for the time. Then in parralel then you had Triumph that was quite agressive back in 1975-1977 and The Ramones that popped up. Influenced by Purple, Toys in the Attic and Rats in the Cellar by Aerosmith had that style too. And the Purple family had intensified the formula with Rainbow, Gillan solo stuff and even early Whitesnake had that in some songs, even more live : Take me with you, Don't mess with me, Mean Business and She's a Woman or Hot stuff. There s elements, even though people don't think of that when you say whitesnake. Of course i would think the biggest architect for that, even influencing hardcore stuff from early 80's and all, including the nwobhm stuff is Judas Priest. Tyrant, Call for the Priest, Exciter, Rapid Fire and so on. Beside you had Motörhead after that, Riot too in 1977 already, and Pat Travers and some bands you don't expect that contributed to that in stepping stones. Hammerhead . It was so rich in the genesis. Queen " Stone cold crazy" ... Infamously. Even Scorpions, " Another Piece of meat "...they rocked super hard then. Of course all of that crept in some nwobhm. Diamond head, is one of them with Helpless, also with the guitar sound i would say, its hardcore to me too. Take me as your leader by Samson ( after Bruce and stuff say today " Oh no punk", my ass) some Maiden stuff both with Paul and Clive who had a big role in that. Angel Witch from his 1978 demo onwards had some thrash even proto black metal sounds in it. By the way a lot of what Hellhammer and Celtic Frost owes also to Angel Witch. Even Saxon, Motorcycle man, 200,00 feet, this town owns rock, this is face melting.. You had the dark stuff, Holocaust. Then kind of the turning point one step above in thoses beats, Raven, then the godfather Venom.

[@uslegions2619]

I love this song, this band, this album. This is my favorite piece of music. This song and LTTN title track. Tatler is the only one who beat Schenker's Rock Bottom solo! THIS is my favorite solo!

[@bgarr99]

A timeless masterpiece.

[@mjramirez6008]

very nice the Deep Purple section

[@rocketrod1444]

Absolute gold .... the new re issue remaster will sound stella . 🤘

Great Band Great Sound Criminally Underrated ⚡🔥🥁🎤🎸⚡🔥🥁🎤🎸🔥⚡🥁🎤🎸👊😎🤘

[@mauriciom5555]

I don’t think is an underrated song when the big 4 bands of thrash metal played it at the same time in stage!

[@markovisic7244]

Dope dude! Real Heavy fu#kin Metal!!!

[@camerondodge2070]

I don't care if you only like power metal, if you only glam or black, or if you only like gumpcore, you have to love and respect Diamond Head (or at least love and tolerate them).

[@frannyp46]

@camerondodge. It’s not just metal categories. I’ve been into funk and soul recently and this is just universally great.

[@Kaesewicht]

Don't tell me what to do.

Hell yeah, awesome remaster. but, I must go... Brutal Legend is calling me. XD

[@Puravida80s]

[@WilliamClayton-DSP]

Thank you Metallica for introducing me to an epic metal band!

[@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams]

As much as I mostly listen to doom, drone, avant-garde metal and the like, there is nothing like the original...heavy metal.

[@J-fi9bq]

Diamond Head invented thrash metal!

[@BSIII]

Iommi did it first. Symptom of the Universe

[@Nissardpertugiu]

​​@@BSIIIit was a process, Speed King and Flight of the rat along Hard Lovin Man and Fireball by Deep Purple are the originators. Sabbath was more doomy until incorporating more percussive stuff by 1971-1976.

[@BSIII]

@@Nissardpertugiu they were definitely pioneers, yes. But Am I Evil is completely influenced by Sabbath's Title Track, Under The Sun, and Symptom of the Universe.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@@BSIII Yeah thats true also

[@Scoopdoggydogg]

i absolutly love this song !!!!!!!!! i met Brian Tatler in the pit at the metallica gig at the Etihad stadium and a nicer guy you would never meet !!!! keep em comin guys? |m/

Innovators!

[@unciclistacontraelsistema8620]

Sean Harris for ever...

[@LadyStrange969]

The absolute best🔥

[@mauvemoth569]

why is this like..... 8 % faster

[@MarkWerner-Gillum]

I saw a video of these guys jamming on a little stage for a television program or something, the point is it was recorded back in the day before there was Slayer or other influential bands of the time, these guys predated all of that. If this is true then these guys got lost somewhere in the chaos. Metallica did them a solid playing two dongs as there own, you ask any dude from late 80s early 90s who did "am I evil" 98% of ppl out there would've said Metallica. F you would've said "nope, it's diamond Head". They would reply, "what King Diamond, no voice isn't high enough but maybe it's Mercifal Fate , his older stuff," you'd slap him across his head and say,no douche bag, diamond head", at that you get something like,"what you mean Lou Diamond Philips? Thvactor, he was great in Youngblood's," you'd deliver a knock out blow to the skull and you'd go on with life never getting to experience the greatest metal band that ever was, thanks to Metallica making a name for themselves made garage days and played their songs. I'm brain fogged at the moment , the other song, yeah that, Fiamond head in my opinion blows Metallica version Way. It's alittle slower, the singer is a singer, meaning it sounds good, just kidding James, you improved immensely over the decades. I saw you 89cow palace San Fran Cali . Was one of the most epic nights of s my nights on the planet. Anyways my point to all this is diamond head may have well been the real IG's right along broth Nkack Sabbath, Derp purple, I do t know can u consider The Who, metal? Another English sensation Priest of the 70's, fuckin epic, Def Lepsrd. It's crazy I was in fifth grade when that shit can't iut. Sonehow we all acquired the albums. Who bought them for us I don't know. Quiet Riot! That was s banger, I got my first feel of breastases in 7th grade. Chunky little brid but she had to if been, she had tits. This is before the milk was full of growth hormones from the cows and girls were six feet tall with huge tits in the third grade. It's gotten pretty bad either way the estrogen , the test levels have plummeted. Need to get the metal macho if the times back into these kids. We were definitely the greatest generation of all time. I think we are called gen x. I just learned that a week ago at 51years.

not as classics as the one originally sang by sean harris

Who s singing so here ?

[@shankthebat8654]

This is one of the worst remasters I have ever heard. I'm not much of a music snob, normally I don't even notice, but that is rancid audio quality. The previous remaster was so much better.

[@pyrogian]

they dont comment to us prob record label remastered band not involved at all

[@OfWodensFolk]

Mars, Bringer of War....

[@Jfighter2244]

Release the original unadulterated mix of this album again. These remasters sound like absolute shit ruining an otherwise perfect album. It's terrible you guys went the Mustaine and George Lucas route by making the orginal versions unavailable. At least Mustaine listened to his fans to where his original albums are available again to where the fan gets to choose what they like more. At least give us the option that's all I'm asking, thank you.

[@christianjackson9360]

It sounds better when METALLICA plays this!!

[@AnthonyThings]

I like the diamond head version more, I think it has better vocals

[@fpitw71]

Both are good.

[@christianjackson9360]

It's much better played by METALLICA instead of this hardly HARD ROCK music by DIAMONDHEAD!!
