Hope some of you are familiar with the band Budgie. Absolute heavy metal pioneers. May Burke Shelley rest in peace. 2022 is starting out rough.

I am familiar with Budgie and Burke Shelley. They were deffo pioneers who had a unique take on music. Have been playing some of their music this afternoon and reading someone the tributes. Some of their songs were covered by other bands including Metallica (Breadfan and Crash course in Brain Surgery), Megadeth (Melt the Ice Away) and Iron Maiden(I can't see my feelings), also Van Halen (In for the Kill)which introduced Budgie's music to a new audience. Budgie were huge in Europe particularly Poland. Shelley and Budgie were forced to retire in 2010 due to Shelley's battle with Stickler Syndrome, he also developed an aortic aneurysm. He still played in local pubs. John Burke Shelley- thank you and RIP
