Silverhead - Rolling With My Baby

[@cathoususie]

I saw Nigel Harrison walking down the King's Road in London and I almost fainted I had such a huge crush on him! He was really sweet and gave me the two Silverhead buttons he was wearing. Silverhead was great ...

Me 1973 Dagenham roundhouse 16 years old fucking fantastic blew my brains to bits 🤯

[@DestinyFilmWorks]

Something tells me David Lee Roth has their two albums in his record collection.

[@kweenqueen]

One of the very best!

[@dieterjaut1196]

WHAT an OUTstanding album this was, their first one!!!!!! The same FIRST class like Slade, Geordie & Heavy Metal Kids (GARY HOLTON)!!

[@lornaleslie4664]

classic 70's not enough natural talent around now, and the abs are do die for x

[@melissamaylath2901]

I love glam rock so course I love this. hes multi talented . music , movies , tv , etc. I'm impressed

[@melissamaylath2943]

The sexy , sassy, & slightly silly 70s. I wish I could back in time to either. 75 to 79 or 85 to 89. I love ❤️ 💚 Michael Des barres's outfit. When I was skinny I had one just like it.😂 Fabulous. He was & still is soooo hot.

[@blueswailer1952]

Small world, ain't it? I was at that one as well. Had to poxy well hitch all the way back to Edgware (the choice was go before the end and get a train home, or stay till the end and get stranded in the middle of bumfuck nowhere). Guess what happened. Believe me, it was a right pain in the arse tottering along all them back country roads at night in platform boots with 4" heels on 'em. Thank Christ there's no photos of me from then! Still one of the most underrated bands ever to exist.

This band was great. Unfortunately, there were no enough care to release them as they deserved in Brazil. I was thirteen when I bought their first album, "Silverhead" in a record shop in Brasilia, where I lived in the 1970's. I really loved this album at first audition, although my friends simply have usually ignored the existence of the band. They only knew Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabath, Uriah Heep. But to me, the first album of Silverhead is so great as are Led Zeppelin IV, Machine Head or Paranoid.

[@fus149hammer5]

Who needs Lee-Roth when you've got Des-Barres?

[@mark271058]

The Singing Lunchbox!!!! Awesome strides!!!! X

[@SilverTounge85]

MACGYYYYVEEEER!!!

[@paistecat]

I was a "Rodneys" regular so I heard this a lot...

[@BirdTalk13]

Love Michael!

[@johncurtis6915]

Robbie Blunt is synching Steve Forest's guitar & vocals tracks ... Steve was the guitarist on the first Silverhead album, the audio track on this video.

[@drstevie]

[@thesnelling999]

Was Luckey i lived only 10 minutes walk from Hemel Hempstead Pavillon i was only 14 then!but what a awesome Band they were live!must have been horrible being Stranded in Treacle Bunstead!in those times!

[@SEN-oz1hq]

[@seabasssimpson4547]

All of us did.

[@lokiofasgard942]

Me

[@aishaxoxobela]

Love the nails

[@melissamaylath2289]

After dealing with my wacky roommate. My sick cat. Two friends who aren't feeling well.,& moving. 2 times in a month I need a pick me up. Watching. Michael Des Barres dancing around in tight white pants looking so hot, is just pick me up I need. Much love

[@4z94]

I liked when he played on WKRP

[@blackiestallion6109]

hoodlum rock.

[@THECOMPANY2014]

Whenever I see this dude, remembered him always shouting, "Mac Gyverrrrrrrr!" as Murdoc. ☣

[@miyubail]

Micheal Des Barres was the best singer next to Robert Plant according to my taste. Have you ever listen to his "Detective" albums x2?

[@beastieboy9286]

Des barres 2nd to Steve Marriott 😂

[@markpattinson4627]

Ah! 1973. Where did the years go?

[@billygonzales7675]

I'm here cause of Stephen Pearcy wearing their t shirt ...never heard of these guys before

[@PompeyRoo]

I had their first album. Played it a few times. Does "Rollin' with my baby" remind anyone of Jo Jo Gunne's (superior) "Run run run" from 2 years previously?

[@nic-ci_66-77]

Fortino..

[@SuperRamonesfan]

MACGYVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!

[@thesnelling999]

saw these in 74 Hemel Hempstead Pavillon herts UK Michael Des Barres was no bender far from it!

[@blueswailer1952]

Yeah, I was there at that one, also Watford Palace Theatre, and Dagenham Roundhouse (loads of times). One of the best and most underrated hard rock bands ever.

[@avtl]

Great stuff....could someone sync the track?

[@melissamaylath3003]

is it wrong that i get turned on when i see the video for this song. i love watching Michael Philip des Barres dance the Wildman dance. i once heard somewhere you judge a man by how good he is bed by the way he dances. if that's true . he must be phenomenal

[@birdy9922]

Was this recorded on Scotch Tape?

[@PumpiPie]

Murdoc..... Can sing? xD

[@AndrewNewZealand]

He looks somewhere between Noddy Holder and Jobriath 🤔😀

[@beastieboy9286]

I’d say more Bolan & Jobriath

[@sharonlee4773]

Is this a Rocky Horror out-take? Its hilarious!

[@waynedhouse4103]

Michaels pupils are always so dilated

[@peck404]

Michael des barres.was a real hottie during this time too bad they didn't make any more albums after this but he continued on to be very successful I'd like to smoke a doob with him

[@markwithers2630]

They did make another album. 16 and savaged. Well worth looking up if you haven't heard of it.

[@basswarrior12]

david lee roth anyone? david just copied him i guess

[@alfasessenta]

cmon punk, this is glam rock, show some respect

[@GenXJames]

I can see in those pants why Pam married him

[@mattpeckham667]

the only problem with this band is that Michael was so introverted...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kingofpunk1977]

@dirtynuke Dont forget he went to the shop to buy the gaylord shirt with his own money

[@kingofpunk1977]

That lead singer looks like a serious bender

[@PAULLONDEN]

My gawd ......why would you spend time on this when you had the real thing in "Raw Power"? No surprise this bunch went nowhere fast (apart from Nigel).... Although huge in west LA ofcourse , especially at Bingenheimers' ,where he indeed was . "part of the glam rock music scene of the 70s"👍😄 The guy realy fancied himself .......He might've made it the current musical wasteland though........ There was ofcourse more to him ,reputed to be a smart guy. He should've used that talent though and not let his smart senses be clouded by sycophant opportunistic music bizz hacks.

[@Generatorhead]

In a way I have to give Des Barres credit though…for almost half a century, he kept telling a mostly disinterested world that he was a rock and roll star and at a certain point, enough people wearily said “Ok, ok Michael you’re a star…now please give it a rest.” The band is decent but couldn’t write a song to save their lives.

[@mrlt2656]

🤮

[@christinetipple6285]

I saw the great Humble Pie - featuring the incomparable Stevie Marriot - at Leicester Polytechnic, England on 19th February 1972. Apparently, the band Silverhead were The Pie’s support group that night but I have no memory of Silverhead’s performance. Naturally, I wanted to find out what Silverhead sounded like. Oh dear, if this video is anything to go by, they were an ensemble of sub Rockin’ Glam Rock narcissists. Their lead singer was particularly enamoured of himself in being a pouting and bare chested prima donna named Michael Des Barres who was the 26th Marquis Des Barres, don’t you know! (Des Barres’ noble title is a rank between a Duke and an Earl). I’ll doff my cap to this entitled chap Des though - if I may be a little forward and address him as such - as he could actually sing, sing in a style that was rather like Marriot’s but without the Stevie’s effortlessly powered vocal delivery and manly rock tone. I have never encountered a Silverhead fan in all my years. I think I now know why having watched this video. And Des’s apparent noble title of Marquis places him, in my view, amongst Rock’s commoners who are a considerable social distance below true Rock Royal like Crowned King, Stevie Marriot.
