You never play that song and think: ‘That’s a bag of shit.’” They don’t obey rules of songwriting we did whatever we felt, rather than followed any rules like verse-bridge-chorus. I don’t know how we did some of those songs. It had all the ingredients – a good riff, a good chorus, it went fast, there’s a big guitar solo in it, it had good dynamics… Songs like that are hard to write. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Tatler agrees that Am I Evil is among Diamond Head’s best songs: It’s like a Smoke On The Water – a nice, simple, heavy riff that you can hum and remember.” And I quite like that – it’s not some clever, complicated thing.
It almost seems like, if you like rock, it’s one of the first riffs you learn. “You just can’t fail if you fire into that riff. “Every time we play it live, that riff seems to stir up something in the audience, and it’s always a winner,” Tatler says. Or, as they put it, the song was "re-imagined, re-recorded and re-born." To this day Am I Evil remains in the set-list, and in 2020 they recorded it again. Having split up in the mid-80s, Diamond Head reunited sporadically throughout the 90s, before Tatler soldiered on without Harris. I bought a house with my wife, and the constant flow of royalties mean that I no longer have to work." It contains four Diamond Head songs, and the royalties have changed my life a lot. They could have covered Witchfinder General, couldn’t they? ”Īs Tatler told Classic Rock in 2019, "This album came out in 1998 and sold over five million copies.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so of course we’re flattered that they covered us. "I’m thankful that they did, because I don’t know what I’d do without the songwriter’s royalties of those four songs they’ve covered. We knew Lars, and we knew how ambitious he was, but I don’t think any of us had a clue that they were going to take that style of metal and bring it to the masses in the way they did. At this stage, in 1984, they were on Music For Nations, and it didn’t look like they had the potential to conquer the world – to us. “We had no idea that Metallica were going to become the biggest band in the world.
But on the White Album, I do definitely remember listening back to it and – once I’d got the guitar solo right and all the keys that change underneath the guitar solo – it just blew me away.” We had to re-record it for the Living On… Borrowed Time album, and it felt a bit strange doing it again. Tatler points out that Am I Evil appeared on two different Diamond Head studio albums: “We recorded it for the White Album. Am I Evil must have gone down well, because we probably would have chucked it out otherwise.” We soon learned that slow songs didn’t work live the faster ones would stay in the set. As Tatler recalls, it immediately passed the test: “As far as I remember, it always went down well. Shortly after the completion of the song, the group tried it out on an audience.
I suppose you could say it’s about evil in man – good and bad the yin and yang.” I’m not sure what the whole thing’s about. “His mum probably took offence, but she’s probably forgiven him now. “ ‘My mother was a witch’ was a great opening line,” Tatler says.
