Dancin'Days Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 When Led Zeppelin brought out the concept of buying albums instead of singles, Heep really followed suit. All of their albums are packed full of brilliant music! DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm a fan of Uriah Heep. I love most of the stuff with Byron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seminole Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 You must not have a good classic rock station near you. If Easy Livin' doesn't ring a bell, your bell hasn't been rung. You need a good muggin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancin'Days Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 How about The Wizard, Firefly, Lady in Black, Stealin, July Morning, Gypsy, Come Away Melinda, Wise Man, On the Rebound and there are many more excellent songs. Give 'em a listen to, they were and still are a great band. I saw them in Dec. 06, in a church, and they were awsome! I will be going to see them again Oct 15th in Nuerenburg with Thin Lizzy.

Otto Masson Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Used to love them as a kid. Finally saw them not very long ago - but even Lee Kerslake had left the band then. Only Mick Box was left from the classic line-up with Gary Thain (who was a great bass player). The 'new' singer is actually a much better vocalist than David Byron ever was though. Byron may have had more charisma on the stage however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtazy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Not a big fan, I've listened only to the Greatest hits album. I heard about them after listening to a project done by Iris (a Romanian rock band) and Uriah Heep together. You can check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmEdSqTB4B4. I think it turned out pretty well. Uriah Heap just released a new one today called Wake the Sleeper. Yep, I listened to it. Got some really nice tunes, my favorite is probably Tears of the world. Definitely a good album to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danelectro59 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yea, a decent group with some good tunes. Not bad in concert either, at least until David Byron left. After that, they kinda lost their edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, they kinda lost their edge. Byron was great but you need to give Bernie Shaw a chance. He has an excellant voice and I think he put the edge back on!

yahyoubetcha Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Gary Thain was a big loss as well. His rolling bass lines really 'made' a lot of songs. Wonderworld was his shining moment. Damn, he was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
