Diamond Head

We're going to work A to Z through the alphabet.

We've got ACDC, we've got Bad Company, Cream, Diamond Head.

I'm Aidan Priest.

But where would you like

We may have some Rush later.

Anyway, we've come to the part of the show called A Slice of a New Woman.

We've gone early this week because it's Diamond Head from the Death & Progress album, I Can't Help Myself.

I

They pick a lot of the songs that we as the fans would have picked as well.

You got Diamond Head.

I'm looking at it now.

We've got Sabra Cadabra.

So a deep Sabbath tracks.

You got It's Electric from Diamond Head, which is one of their crappier songs.

It's not a very good song.

But you got the Merciful Fate 1110 medley on here, which is almost like in the spirit of Satan's Fall from that album, which is a different riff all the time.

We've got the Scorpions.

We've actually got Diamond Head and King's X all on the one show, Matthew.

How amazing is that? Our listeners are just doing cartwheels.

Can't wait for that.

We couldn't resist.

Could we, Bri? Back to back.

We've got Diamond Head and King's X.

This is Lightning to the Nations.
