Alex Harvey Obituary 

You were lucky as was i

Listening since 1973 and still 2022 x

В далёком Казахстане в СССР в 1982 году впервые услышал SAHB это было великолепно , не похожая ни на какую другую музыку , Алекс привнес свой интересный внутренний мир , своё виденье в своё сценическое искусство !

You are a lucky dude! Dis you see Hammer song, and Isabel Gaudi live? I am, only a bit, VERY jalous!

What a great quote! I saw them on TV a few times in the 70's and thought they were a bit silly but I really liked their music and thought Alex was a terrific front man. Loved his humor.

I would have LOVED to have seen them live!

Think it was about the time I saw them they were supporting slade

He burned bright we all get born die it's not sad it just is

My dad knew Alex..we lived a few streets away I was a baby!Love SAHB...!

He was fantastic greatly missed

Only the unknowingly could provide a negative vote here, that's who. The Man was a pure genius with a vintage background who died way before his time. RIP Alex.

@@Cyclingmasterseller totally... It's sad... Today's conscious ignorance and disrespect!

Silverfox , same here buddy, loved him then and now

And me too!

Saw them in the Caird Hall in 1974 - Unforgettable!

Never saw them, but been on board the Alex train since I was 13 some 44 years ago.

I was fortunate too. Saw them twice in LA around the time of The Impossible Dream album. Unforgettable band and bandleader.

Это точно ! Это лице действо !

yep similar timeline for me, was amazing live, saw SAHB in 1975, ate up all his albums !

🎯 🍻 😎

Every time I go near a water supply dam (they all have scenic lookouts), I think of that exact line.

me too. hashtag me too.lol my all time hero.xx

I saw him at Nottingham Rock City around that time, not the SAHB mind you.. Not too long after, I heard he was dead. It was more like a party than a rock concert, amazing atmosphere I'll never forget it!

Newark and Mansfield? In Ohio? If so, would love to hear more about these shows.

Glad your well John what's poo sticks test if you don't mind me asking ?

I sent in a little piece of sht just the other day. Ha!

We were probably at the same concert! Birmingham mid 70's.

Greetings from Brum

I AM ALEX FIRST COUSIN,,ARE YOU SAYING YOUR MUM AND MY UNCLE LESLIE HARVEY HAD SEX AND YOUR MUM IS ALEX SISTER ,, THINK YOU ARE TALKING SHIT,, MY MUM AND ALEX MUM ARE SISTERS ,,I THINK SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT YOUR MUM

When he sprayed paint all over the backdrop curtain whilst doing Vambo rules! Magnificent band

As a lifelong Michael Schenker fan I’ve always known of Ted McKenna and Chris Glen. Little did I know until this past year when I discovered SAHB that they were in SAHB together. I discovered him after hearing the cover of Midnight Moses by the dead daisies. Love that song.

When I first heard AC/DC I thought they'd totally ripped off SAHB's sound. I put that down to Zal Cleminson sounding like two guitarists (the Young brothers) and Alex's singing style similar to Bon's. SAHB will always be in my top 10 bands.

@@blairhelsing630 Zal" Cleminson born 1949 self-taught guitarist, he was 21 when he played with Tear Gas in 1971. Angus born March 1955, He was 18 when he and older brother Malcolm formed AC/DC in 1973 debut High Voltage,1975. there both from Glasgow, but the young family moved to Oz in 63 there worlds apart, Maybe there was a Glasgow sound I don,t know. but ripped off no that just silly, SAHA was big in Oz. Nick Cave states he was infatuated with the band, As to Alex's singing like Bon's well the both Glaswegians yeah. But Bon Scott is more an Aussi, But then a again. lt like saying Rab C. Nesbitt sounds like Billy Connolly, WELL THEY DO, But the only difference between these bands, SAHA is poetic. Sudden-savage-shining-solid-soiled-solid-sanded Steel-shuddering-shattering-shovelling until the Sabre toothed rooter roots the earth The eater eats his fill and is not satisfied and Roars and reves his mathematical rage On the footprints of Vikings Trapped on a sonic tape recorder Ten million years old,,,, ten million years old,,,,, ten,,, million,,,,,,, years old. What I would say== is, Alex and Bon, could of easily been brothers. and if there is a heaven. Can you imagine them two kicking back..... RIP no no.... . fender telecaster has far more penetration than a AK47 ...

Excellent comment!

The late great Alex Harvey, naturally charismatic and one of the best frontmen ever.

(Somehow Scottish and Irish people resemble us Greeks a real lot both in appearance and mentally... Even our musical traditions are similar... So I feel familiar with all your artists...it is like listening greeks rocking...same for folk/traditional music. There are historical connections for sure- Celts, Norse etc. But I am not putting it in a nationalistic way...just a nice down to earth way of how familiar Alex is to us as Greeks! Peace, love, wisdom, unity and Easter everywhere!!!)

Vinegar Joe cool

Sweet discoveries!

TheJackie2007 I’m glad you enjoyed it

faz farrow we turned up to film a short interview intending to stay an hour or so and ended up staying all afternoon. At one point his wife came home and he obviously hadn’t told her we were coming, “we do this every Tuesday when you are at your mother’s’” he told her. Unforgettable time spent with a really remarkable man

Basin thanks! I wish his life had been longer too

he really was. he died fighting.

Also: RIP Ted. Stay free, b. R 💚👈 😎

@mikegreenberg960 was that with Mott the Hoople and Uriah Heep? Loved "Vambo" -what a great band they were, I agree, just so good, I'll never forget that striped shirt!
