They soon found drummer Ray | | Phillips through an ad in the local paper. Tony Bourge (guitar) | | joined in 1967. They weren't "Budgie" from the beginning. In fact, | | they played a few gigs under the unglamorous name "Hills Contemporary | | Grass" before changing their name to the more spectacular "Six Ton | | Budgie", then changed again to just "Budgie". | | | | The story behind the band name is that they loved the idea of playing | | noisy, heavy rock and calling themselves after something | | diametrically opposed to that. A budgie is a fragile thing. Brian | | Goddard left the band early for family reasons (got a girl pregnant | | and had to get a job). Since then Budgie always had a three-piece | | lineup. Budgie never got the recognition they deserved. However, when | | Metallica, Iron Maiden and other bands later made covers of their | | songs they got a late but rightful redress. In this blog entry I will | | walk you through their first five albums; the MCA years and their | | golden age. | | | | Budgie didn't sell enough albums so that the members could retire in | | a nice country house in the countryside with crawl distance from the | | local pub. The conditions for this event were in fact quite good. | | First, there was a growing interest for early british heavy metal. | | Second, the met a renowned producer, Rodger Bain (producer of Black | | Sabbath's first three albums), who was on a talent spotting mission | | in Wales. Third, they signed a contract with the big record company | | MCA. | | | | Their self-titled debut album is raw and brutal. The album was | | recorded in Rockfield Studios in Monmouth in South Wales in only four | | days on a eight track tape. The album starts off with "Guts" which | | encompass their trademarks; nasal and high-pitched vocals, thick bass | | lines, proficient guitar riffs and pounding drums. The second song | | "Everything in my heart" is a delicate ballad and only one minute | | long. The heavy stuff is back again in the next song, "The Author". | | Burke Shelley had a penchant for wordplay and pun. The fourth song is | | "Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman". This song is a good example | | of their other trademarks; weird arrangements, dynamic variations | | between hard and soft, shifts between mangling and sensitivity and | | last but not least unexpected tempo changes. The song is eight and a | | half minute long. | | | | The first song on the flip side is "Rape of the Locks", which bears | | many similarities with classic Black Sabbath. Second to Toni Iommi, | | Tony Bourge was the riffmaster of early heavy metal. The next song is | | "All night petrol", which is rather tiresome. The next to last song | | is a short ballad "You and I", delevered in 1 minutes and 45 seconds. | | The album closing song is "Homicidal Suicidal", a compact song to say | | the least. "Homicidal suicidal / Big time loser, big time boozer / | | Live and learn, let it burn / All time winner, you're a sinner". Not | | any lyrics of Nobel Prize standards, but the lyrics served its | | purpose. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2019-=----------------------/__\--'
