I've been on the spaceship since I was 11 in 1972. My big brother introduced me to them and I haven't looked back.
Hawkwind is still going strong, producing, recording and gigging. Dave Brock is 82 now but still the captain.
Loads of people mock Hawkwind but fans have enjoyed the ongoing journey. Their music has influenced many genres.
As a sidenote, Lemmy wrote the song Motorhead for Hawkwind while he was with them.
That Lemmy did do….. also are you into Steve Hillage? Cheers Alex.
@@TheThamesmen I certainly am and Gong. 😁
That was a good sidenote and quite ironic/prophetic since he is the front man for Motörhead
Many a joint smoked listening to this great ban. Red seal, Gold seal, Red Leb, Various Blacks. Thai sticks etc great times.
What a great track. I’m glad that at least one channel plays all the surprises and really good music.
Many thanks!!!! Low numbers but who cares.
Hawkwind first timer, here - what a fantastic trip! Alex's notes were spot on for this one. No re-entry, indeed, Sir!🚀
Welcome aboard!
First time? Wow....a rabbit hole awaits you....or is that a black hole?😎
@@stevemurrell6167 or a portal to another place?
@@TheThamesmen Could well be!😅
Welcome aboard! For me, the first 5 albums - 4 studio albums plus the live Space Ritual album - are amongst the best music ever made.
Hawkwind were the first band I saw live - Sheffield City Hall 1980 in the brief Ginger Baker era. Was supposed to see them last year but we had to leave the festival early because of the weather.
YEAH!!! I went to Sheffild Uni, saw HW there plus Gong!!! Cheers A
Hawkwind! I love Spirit Of The Age. My favourite album is Warriors on the edge of time.
Thats my fav album as well.... Lemmys bass!!! Be well - Alex
Spirit OfThe Age goes well with Damnation Allley. Warrior has everything, probably their most complete album of the era.
I can remember my first listen to this album, no bong was required! Spaced out just with the music it was a magical experience. Thanks for bring back some great memories.
Oh and my first new motorbike back then was called Silver Machine after the Hawkwind record, and I used to play the track in the band I played in back then.
The bong was for no reentry - Do you listen to Steve Hillage or Gong?
@@TheThamesmen Listened to Steve Hillage for the first time from your mentioning it, really enjoyed it, Gong I've never heard of until last night, but Hawkwind I have listened to since I first discovered In Search of Space, the other music I listened to back then were The Pink Fairies, Beggars Opera, Groundhogs and Grand Funk Railroad
When I got this album I first took it to my oldest friend's house, he later became a DJ on a radio station, sadly he passed away 2 years ago and with covid we could not go to his funeral. Hawkwind will always remind me of listening to music at his house, RIP Allen.
love Hawkwind and this is my favorite track . magic
We need to be friends - Cheers Alex
Hawkwind fan here....they are stoner heaven! I gave up the weed last year but Hawkwind still thrill me.....as close as you'll be to stoned when straight as!
That was cool.
The vocals reminded me of Ozzy Osborne, and elements of the music reminded me of Baba O’Reilly and Won’t Get Fooled Again.
As a teenager and carpet thief I used to take loads of rugs and listen to hawkwind ,😊 seen them loads , great vid guys
Right there with you!
I get it Alex. It’s a lonely path, being a Hawkwind fan. I think I’ve had 3 people in almost 50 yrs get it. Bought my first album, Space Ritual, on a whim in 1975 at age 15 and loved it all. Love the earlier stuff especially. My personal favourite album is “Hall of the Mountain Grill.” I never tire of “You’d Better Believe It.” In fact I’m going to listen to it now…..
Quark , Strangeness And Charm.......Damnation Alley
Someone knows their Hawlwind
Lemmy was a Beatle connaisseur. Great obscure band, Hawkwind!
Plus Roadie to Hendrix
They are still going and back oot on tour in April.
Thank god!!! Life is as it should be
Oh yes! That album was the world's introduction to accidental bass player Lemmy. He rocked up expecting to fill in on guitar after Huw Lloyd Langton took a few trips too many, but Dave Brock decided he'd play lead so, as Dave Anderson had failed to turn up, they now needed a bass player. They stuck a bass in his hand, told him to "just make some noise in E" and he made up his distinctive sound on the spot. Classic! The last track on the album, not counting CD reissue bonuses, was "The Watcher" by one Ian Kilmister, which Lemmy took with him when he formed Motorhead, so like the track "Motorhead" itself, you get a very different version when Hawkwind do it. Well worth checking out, as is the whole album as Alex says. Absolute banger gents, good pick.
Thanks Steve. It was John Peel who spotted them in west London. Went to see another band but Hawkwind backed em up. He said “watch that band” to Doug Smith the event organizer who got them a deal!
@@TheThamesmen I don't think I'd clocked Peel's contribution, what a guy. Not even having come up with any songs on their first gig, nor a name, calling themselves 'Group X' they debuted with 'an extended 20-minute jam on the Byrds' "Eight Miles High"', and that was what hooked Peel. Hah! What a time to be alive.
Great stuff guys. Off your wanger banger? Banger for the mashed. Killit banger? You've almost caught up the Pogues from 2 weeks ago so people do view. I'd love IQ: Frequency to be reacted to, don't think its been done. Spirit of the Age was my cherry pop, as a retro hippie friend at school had the Quark album and put it on after school - loved it, then a skinhead came up to me and said 'you're into Quark, well good', we're talking c. 1983 here! Suggestions: Void City, Phetamine Street, Urban Guerrilla, Steppenwolf, Prometheus, Days of the Underground, Sword of the East, Take What You Can, anywhere the pin lands really....
Simon King is probably the greatest rock drummer no one has heard of. Always loved his work.
Love that track - actually love the first 6 LPs (& a sh!t load of the many non LP tracks) & indoctrinated my son into the cult of the Hawklords. Often find myself inadvertently ripping them (& Gong & Moonkyte & Garcia etc) when noodling mindlessly on guitar. The sprog and I used to sing 30+ minute versions of Orgone Accumulator, Hurry On Sundown, You Shouldn't Do That, Children Of The Sun, etc, with new lyrics, when we were on long drives. The whole family is associated with the HubbaDubba Tea Company of Tibet too.....
Good man!!!!
Doremi Fasol Latido is my favourite album not by Black Sabbath, and I only regard Sabbath to have only done 6 albums. My 2nd favourite Hawkwind album is Quark Strangeness and Charm, where they rock out.
I love them. I'm 74 by the way.
I've got BABYMETAL in the CD these days..
That was a real psychedelic piece of music there gents
Wow! I actually like this. I have often seen Hawkwind albums at my record dives but have never taken the opportunity to listen. This is the shit! It sounds like what Gary Wright must have been listening to when he wrote "Dream Weaver." This is like what Donavan must've been hallucinating on acid while singing Hurdy Gurdy Man. psychedelic English folk Rock guest starring Ravi Shankar's fourth cousin twice removed.
Easy to see how Alex was hooked first listen. I'm ready to take of my clothes and run through the streets screaming (and it's only about 25 degrees (f) outside. But hot damn! This is sooooo sooo sooo good.
I agree with George. I'm sad that I had never heard this before.
So glad you gave it a chance..... The first three albums are the ones to get!! Thanks for taking a chance Cheers Alex
Just because it is Hawkwind, I had to subscribe. I just saw them in Edinburgh and Glasgow and they were brilliant, with two festivals still to see this year.
Oh lord, you guys are doing Hawkwind. Not sure whether I should be scared or not. ;) Get better Alex!
That was indeed an epic guitar build over the folk rhythm guitar. Not sure I'd listen to it all the time, but it is a very impressive song.
Try acid.
My favorite Hawkwind is Silver Machine and UFO II comes very close to it. Love your pommy humor very similar to the Aussies. Just found your channel enjoy it immensely.
thanks for finding us lots of Aussie classics we have been introduced to
I have watched all your Aussie reactions and been introduce to artist that I would not generally listen to. Hope there is an another week. Thanks for that@@TheThamesmen
Banger for sure.
great choice by Alex for sure
Hey Alex, get better soon... and talking of Gong, if you haven't checked out Unending Ascending (the new album) yet, you definitely should. That tour they did as Steve Hillage's backing band has definitely rubbed off on them!
Cool. I love Hillage.
Can’t beat the Hawklords! Grew up listening to this. Who needs drugs when you have music like this?
it is a drug!
That’s what I always felt. I was never tempted to take drugs because music was my drug and Hawkwind was my psychotropic!
No drugs here either. The music and lightshow were everything that I needed.
@@mikedown3219 you missed a real treat , they sound much better on acid , they were the masters of acid rock !
@@acrookedbeat9013 ha!
Love this, I'm surprised that this band isn't as big as the pink Floyd's. Why have I never seen or heard this on tv or radio before. Surely I would caught it on rage or the J's, admittedly I have an lp of theirs and haven't hardly listened to it, damn U rage!😬
They are well known in the UK but are very provincial. They sit alongside Steve Hillage and Gong, they have their own niche
I'd love to see you introduce him to another Hawkwind track, "Assault and Battery/The Golden Void" from their next album, "Warrior on the Edge of Time". Lemmy's last album with them, and the first with really heavy Michael Moorcock influence.
Warriors, I feel, itms thier best and most polished album.
@TheThamesmen I first got into Hawkwind in the mid-80s when I went to Santa Cruz CA to go to college. They had some great used record stores there at that time (pre-Loma Prieta). I got really lucky. My first two finds were "Quark, Strangeness and Charm" and "Warrior on the Edge of Time", followed shortly by "Space Ritual". To this day, three of my favorites from them. Although I have soft spots for "The Xenon Codex" and "Live Chronicles".
I like the song, thank you for sharing that! I would not be able to go super high in terms of scoring, so I will decline to say anything about banger/wanger.
You can do it!
I am one of the ten! In fact I even paid for another reactor to do _Earth_ _Calling/Born_ _to_ _Go_ from Space Ritual. However, I can't remember how I discovered Hawkwind. It was in the early 80s, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't introduced by a friend because most of the time I've been a lone fan (I had a work colleague in the late 80s/early 90s who was also into them). Quite possibly the most infuential band you've never heard of, to only slightly paraphrase the Guardian.
We need to be friends - Cheers Alex
I paid a reactor ( Andrew Rooney) to play Brainstorm, not enough people know about Hawkwind. The least I could do was join Patreon.
@@crimmo54 thank you for your support. We really appreciate it as it allows us to go off on these tangents!
@@TheThamesmen No worries. A bit of Budgie wouldn’t go astray, Breadfan and Parents come to mind.
@@crimmo54 thank you for doing that - I follow Andrew too. Mine was L33reacts, another drummer, who was struggling at the time so I thought I'd help him out and get some Hawkwind out there (he's done another since).
Has to be a Banger fellas
Dehydrated Banger
I'm a day late, but as they say, better late than never.
I think that might be the third or fourth Hawkwind song I have ever heard, but I think it's the best one so far. There seemed to be so many musical influences and flavors in that track it was hard to keep up with them. George did a mighty job listing most of them, however, I think he missed one tantalizing flavor. I got aural flashes of South Asian, particularly Indian, styled guitar. It wasn't all pervasive, but I feel the song was enriched by its sparing use. This was a fantastic track.
So, for the zesty Indian flavor in the instrumentation, I reckon this Banger could be compared to a complex and spicy curried sausage.
Want to go further in provincial England...... Ever heard of Steve Hillage? ua-cam.com/video/ASoUUKzgCG0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=gb5uq
@@TheThamesmen Ohhh that is rather good, not heard them before thanks for the link
Try uncle sams on mars next.
Any day with Hawkwind is a great day... Did you get to see them live and was Stacia up there dancing (and taking her clothes off)?
Nope. Too young I’m afraid.
You should do some Pink Fairies guys
Is that a kind of LSD?
Do gong, yes please.
Funny being on this side of the pond. It’s a band I have never heard of. Can you recommend a couple of their tunes to get a better feel for there music.
Alex would be best to recommend but you could try “Silver Machine” as a starting point
@@TheThamesmen thanks
@Rick they are very hard to get into plus spanned many years. They have had many people in the band including Ginger Baker but the thtee classic albums are In Search of Space, Doremi Faso Latido, Hall of the Mountain Grill
@@TheThamesmen thank you.
Spirit of the age, Angels of death are classic.
Alex, The Organ Accumulator or are you The?
HA haSomeone knows their Hawkwid :)
For me I enjoyed most of the song. Must admit there were parts that was overkill. But over all it was fun to listen to. Will have to re visit to put things in perspective
Does this me as I’m here I can ask for Rory as an off shoot song for me.
thank you
@Rick Both Rory and alas Alvin LKee need to be in a special guitar week, as solo they won't get the traction but you're right, I'd love some Rory at some point this year
@@TheThamesmen do we get to her Duane Allman in all his gloriy
@@TheThamesmen could you do a completion or guitar festival. Rory. Jeff Healey Duane allman cary Moore Stevie Ray. The guitarist from Jefferson airplane the guitar player from Marshall tucker. Have include Bryan May the guitarist from the Grateful Dead frank Moreno
Food for thought I know your busy what about a duel 12 guitar players go head to head until until only two left
The joy of retirement you can hit UA-cam and always find a new black hole to get lost in
Thanks for trying the positive is watching the two of you putting on a type of humor that will make Mrs brown shutter keep it up. Do you have any preset targets set up that you need to meet?
