Talk:Diamond Head (British band)

message: I know they're only known for their Metallica links these days and are mostly responsible for Metallica's classic 80's sound but could we please give the article more focus on Diamond Head themselves? This is awful. It skims the band then whines on about Metallica. Vanity articles pretending to cover the band should be deleted. Either add decent info or delete this article as non-notable.--88.105.101.98 13:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Awful

message: Good man. This page is now much better. 
I'd like to point out an error though. The Friday Rock Show /Reading cd has their set from the Reading Festival in August 1982 (which was Borrowed Time period) and not Monsters of Rock 1983. (That was Canterbury period, and MoR was always held at Donington, as Download is now.) The Reading appearance was classic and unexpected - they were a late replacement for Man of War (or Man O' War, or whatever they were called).
That Reading set is also where the live version of Sucking My Love (12" of Making Music) came from. It wasn't their last song btw - that comment is edited from elsewhere in the set. (From before the last song funnily enough.)
On the discography front: There was a video released by their fan club from a tour which I believe was in 1984. It was the tour after the Canterbury tour and, if I remember correctly, after they were dropped by MCA. This was the Goldsworthy line up and it was recorded at Leicester Polytechnic (now renamed) or Leicester University - I can't remember which, which is sad because I was there and I own the video.
As I recall the organisers of the fan club complained that they got screwed by the band financially when they split up.
Oh and the story goes that Tatler and Scott first heard Harris sing Bebopalulla (or however that's spelt) on the coach on a school trip. Allegedly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Glenn little (talk • contribs) 09:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA review 

message: "The fact that while the likes of Iron Maiden were managed by established music management, Diamond Head were guided by Reg Fellows, a cardboard factory owner from the Midlands and Harris' mother as managers." any citations for this? Sounds like PO to me. Andy_Howard (talk) 02:27, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
