This one of my favourites rock bands, I heard them for first time whit Napoleon Bona parts one and two in earlies seventies in a lp Bandolier bought in Venezuela, but never brougth more lp`s to this country. Budgie is very interesting band, in a Piramyds theme, some compassess of the perfomance remembered a Camel`s works by Andew Latimer. Really I`m proud to knew Budgie and hear his music¡¡¡. My respects. Sincerly:
Clemente Hoyos.

This brings back memories of rocking the college dorm room with obscure 70’s rock that all of the rap guys had never heard of. Check out “I can see my feelings.” More cowbell and for Christ sake, turn up that wah wah during the instrumental break.

Budgie is one of the best hard rock group of 1970s. Tony Bourge’s riffs are masterpieces that next generations will listen when learning playing rock music. This guy was one of the most undervalued musicians in the gallery of guitar masters but definitely he desrves the place in the pantheon of 1970s rock music at the same level as Jimmi Page , Ritchie Blackmore, Alvin Lee or Peter Green. If anyone knows what is going on with him now I would appreciate information. I have seen tham in London’s Marquee Club in 1981 but those days where rather tough for them (after Tony’s departure from the band). Now after 26 years, I am going to see Budgie in today’s line-up in Warsaw Progresja Club on April 13, and what I hear recently from scratches of their live performences available on the web they are in excellent form. Will go there together with my 19 year old son who loves them as well. CU in Warsaw.

This Budgie clip is awesome! When I was a kid buying my metal records, I was always perplexed by those album covers. I wish I had bought those records. By the time I heard Budgie, all those LPs were out of print and way overpriced if you did find them at all. Though I do have a very rare “Bored With Russia” 7″ picture disc I bought when I was about 13 or 14 years old.
In the video they kinda look and sound as if Geddy Lee from Rush was fronting Sabbath or Dust. There’s a band you can write about - Dust. Congrats on your 1 year anniversary. I know it’s belated.

Currently revisiting my ‘Budgie’ days !! I followed these guys during the early 70’s, lost count how many times I saw them live but saw the original three man version fr the first time, with Tony Bourge, at a little ballroom downstairs at The George Hotel in Burslem, Stoke on Trent !! They really Out-rocked many more illustrious names that I also saw in my youth !!

I’ve been curious about Budgie ever since reading a review of the band Chrome that compared Helios Creed’s guitar playing to Tony Bourge. Thanks!
