AM I EVIL? IN CONVERSATION WITH BRIAN TATLER OF DIAMOND HEAD.
‘If it wasn’t for Brian Tatler there is a pretty good chance none of us would be here’ Lars Ulrich of Metallica talking on stage at Sonisphere 2011 about Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.
At this event, Guitarist and Songwriter of Diamond Head Brian Tatler will be talking us through his career in the music industry, how he started the band, the highs and lows, the bad management decisions, the inner band dynamics and to then inspiring and becoming friends with the biggest Metal band on the planet, Metallica! And of course, the songs and stories behind them that made it all happen.
There will be a Q&A section at the end and Brian will be signing any fans material. We are also giving away some Diamond Head merch as a raffle prize on the night.
This will be a seated event with alcoholic drinks and barista coffee available on the evening.
Please note the earlier start time of a 6.00pm arrival with an aim of a 6.30pm start so we can all be not so evil and be in work the next day…

Really looking forward to the signing session with Brian - hearing Lars Ulrich call him the reason bands like Metallica exist really shows how pivotal Diamond Head's story is. I was using a sentence counter tool to analyze that quote, and honestly it's wild how much gets packed into a short line.
The bit about bad management decisions really gets me — you hear so many stories of brilliant bands who got completely derailed by the business side of things. And the fact that a band like Diamond Head, who basically handed Metallica their early sound, never got the same level of recognition still feels wild. On a related note, the whole "Am I Evil?" legacy makes me think of those old grainy tape-trading covers and photocopied zines, and honestly a bad quality image maker is kind of perfect for recreating that crusty lo-fi aesthetic if you ever want to make a throwback flyer or meme. Sounds like a great night anyway — the earlier start time for people with work the…
While I had this post open alongside https://fi-nettikasino.com, the part about bad management decisions really hit home—so many great bands get derailed by the business side of things. It’s strange to think Metallica’s whole sound might trace back to Diamond Head, yet poor choices kept the band from that same level of recognition for years. I’ve seen that happen to talented local acts too, and it always makes me wonder what could have been.
