The Yardbirds were one of the important bands in the 1960s London blues / pop / rock scene. Early repertoire consisted of blues covers by the likes of Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. Numerous personnel changes mean there isn't a definitive Yardbirds line-up. However, Keith Relf (vocals), Chris Dreja (rhythm guitar, later bass), Jim McCarty (drums) and Paul Samwell-Smith (bass, until mid-66) formed the stable part of the band, initially with Top Topham on lead guitar. Their first album, "Five Live Yardbirds" was recorded with Eric Clapton on lead guitar at London's Marquee Club. Clapton left, not pleased with the pop direction of the band, just before the single "For Your Love" brought the Yardbirds fame both throughout the UK and internationally. More... (Submit New The Yardbirds Lyrics) (Submit New The Yardbirds Lyrics) Review about The Yardbirds My review | Reviewer: Ray Zib Madrid ------ About the song Heart Full Of Soul performed by The Yardbirds one of the great songs of heart broke passion for another man who is lost wthout this womans love, truly of what made the yardbirds so great. Author of Hunting Jezebel Ray Zib Madrid Mr. You're A Better Man Than I | Reviewer: Duane ------ About the song Mr. You're a Better Man Than I performed by The Yardbirds There are two versions of this song. A longer version has an extra set of lyrics. After the second chorus is an instrumental break then an additional set of lyrics are added. I believe they are something close to this. Do you think if often the majority is right. That men with individuality should never fight. Can you hate a man that shouts out Freedom's cries. Ha Ha Said The Clown | Reviewer: ichido ------ About the song Ha Ha Said The Clown performed by The Yardbirds Knew this song as a ten yearold kid, when having no money, my dad would by singles, usually not very good but we lucked out with Ha Ha and Tinker Tailor and something by the Grassroots. Excellent song and fantastic lyrics. Most people problably would notknow that tinker tailor is a counting game played in England Some part is missing | Reviewer: Mom in CA ------ About the song Mr. You're a Better Man Than I performed by The Yardbirds Hi there, My little son pointed out that there's a missing part between "Yeah, Mr. you're a better man than I" and "Can you condemn a man". I'm not very good at catching the words, but it should start like this, "Do you think...all thing, the mutty...should never fight. Can you hate a man..." If any of you are able to write this part down, could you please email me at jicywaf@yahoo.com. I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot! shake it up baby | Reviewer: rocking t ------ About the song Great Shakes performed by The Yardbirds The take on the great shakes followed that of the 4 seasons who were flying high on Let's Hang On. The Y-Birds had neither the stateside cred nor the vocals to do justice to the advert. Thus it bombed I'm a Man | Reviewer: Timothy ------ About artist/band The Yardbirds That song is absolutely brilliant the guitar riff is outsdtanding to say the least.That song really opened up the way songs were meant to be written.Sweet,Short,accurate and Straight to the point it's up there with other classics like Days by The Kinks and many more........ Well ahead of their time | Reviewer: MacGillivray ------ About artist/band The Yardbirds The Yardbirds were the band for Blues/ Rock in the early sixties. Best with Beck on Guitar, but the call from record producers to play "mop tops" was always pressing. I'm a Man (Live) and Happenings Ten Years Time Ago are two of my favourites. Gregorian Chants | Reviewer: Simon ------ About the song Still I'm Sad performed by The Yardbirds In the Yardbirds by John Platt, Chris Dreja and Jim McCartney - Chris Dreja remembers that they used to invent Gregorian-style chants to pass the time away during the long trips in the van on the way to and from gigs. Still I'm Sad was good, but a more haunting song was Turn Into Earth. In the second and last verse of Still I'm Sad, the last line should be: How I'm Sad How I'm Sad Oh - How I'm Sad.
