Hi- You are right. Although they produced great songs & albums, they were never mentioned in the same breath as Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin etc, unfounded in my opinion. Vastly underated but I'm encouraged by the fact they influenced many other bands & spurned many cover bands. Thanks Burke & Budgie for the memories.

Burke once stood in for Snatch It Back's frontman Chris for a few months when he'd lost his voice. So just playing pub gigs and evidently loving it; he was so at ease with an audience of any size, having a laugh and a joke and rocking the roof off the place. More than just a gentleman, a true rocker for whom the music was the thing. It was a real privilege to have witnessed those small gigs mostly at the Royal Oak, full of bikers and seen him up close.

It took 3 days before the ringing stopped but oh man did we have a great time. Had many a beer with Tony Bourge and burke. Burke used to tell us his favourite band was the carpenters but I never knew if he was pulling our plonker or not. We saw Thin lizzy too on the same stage many times and they played even louder.

[@jabbahut72]

When I first listened to this song, it was off the Garage Days Revisited album. I thought Metallica had recorded it at first but then I took a closer look at the liner notes and finally knew the truth. This was way before KZbin. Then many years later, I heard Budgie play it for the first time right here. Somehow the opening riff sounds 100x better than what James or Kirk (or both?) plays. Plus I believe Metallica plays it higher on the musical scale. I like this version much better except the solo. Kirk's playing sounds more melancholy.-like, which is how a lot of their songs sound. Although I have no idea what the spoken high-pitched voice at the very end of the song asking "Mommy, where is fluffy?" (that's what it sounds like to me) is supposed to mean or how it ties into the song. Anyone know or have an idea?

[@Pewtooyou]

@@jabbahut72 I can only figure the last line of the song "Mommy - where's fluffy" is that the song is about being infatuated with money and eventually becoming rich and blowing it all. So maybe they sold the dog for some cash and the little girl is asking where the dog went.

I just heard this on WRMI shortwave radio. My God I got up out my sleep. One best rock songs ever. One of top. That for sure. I'm keeping this one listen too. Hey I was little boy grew up this kind on radio. Awesome.

Kudos to all the teens of the 70s who would find and support bands like budgie, and the record companies who signed these talented niche bands.

[@CloudsBeyond]

My buttocks literally quivered like jelly hearing this awesome riff for the first time. Nipple exploding sonic fury!!!!

I'm from the future, this sounds fantastic.

[@brobison75]

Hey, you can actually hear the bass on this version.

[@OatCakeProductions]

You can also hear the plectrum scrape, especially at the beginning before the drum and bass kick in.

[@lrm215]

U right!!!!

[@egbertsouse8487]

Awesome tone on that bass. Don’t hear that anymore.

Doskonały zespół o niedocenionym wpływie na rozwój muzyki. Zachwycam się każdym pomysłem.

[@MrEmilian58]

Dziękuję za Twój komentarz! To świetny zespół, który o dziwo był bardziej popularny w Polsce niż na Wyspach! Pierwszy raz byłem na koncercie za tak zwanej komuny we Wrocławiu, były tłumy! Faktycznie mało doceniany zespół nie wiedzieć dlaczego?

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

R.I.P to the great Burke Shelley.....fly high Budgie man.

[@DanteInferno87]

I'm not going to lie, I heard this song from Brutal Legend, and you know what? I'm fucking glad, this song is ridiculously amazing!

[@Jgrair001]

My buddy just literally introduced me to this band and this song. Crushing shame they weren’t as known as all the other mainstream rock bands. My buddy was telling me to also listen to Budgie’s whole album called Impecable. Amazing music.

[@Oatzfactor]

RIP Burke Shelley! That’s still one of the best guitar riffs ever made!

[@paultiplady]

| hope Budgie will never be forgotten

[@carlelewis6329]

They won't

Remember when talent was the criteria for a good band ?

[@vicariousgamer2871]

@Turkleton Pupptarr Yes, it was long ago. But I suppose the younger one is, the less inclined to know these sort of things ?

[@vicariousgamer2871]

@Turkleton Pupptarr Yes, it was good to cut the cord, as they say. I enjoy the crazy variety here on you tube. Lots of real awful crap, but it's easily bypassed. SO saying this... What exactly is WAP ?
