Rockin Vickers - Dandy

[Gravelgutband]

All the people dissing this, this is about as heavy as you got in 65' when it came out, this is proof that Lemmy was at the front lines before everybody

[Popeye4678]

Lemmy is a legend - but this track - ouch.

This is more for the style of the Pogues!

[PontiacFighter]

Better than the kinks

[TheBurtful]

whaaat the fuuuckkk =D This is really Lemmy? :D from this strange music to heavy metal? I don't belive

[tonymontana1974]

@TheBurtful He played bass yeh.

[jwatson626]

Great stuff. Anything Lemmy has ever touched is pure gold. 

[BochoFlow]

@jwatson626 Well said

[supersnowyangel]

Thats lemmy from motorhead so cool

[shaunatkinson6370]

It is a Kinks song written by Ray Davies.

[joeymod135]

I thought this was a Kinks tune by Pete, I was wrong I suppose.

[jefin94]

Beautiful Song!

[MrsButterflyTattoo]

I'm reading Lemmy's autobiography now so that's how I ran across this song. I always knew the song from the Herman's Hermits (kinda scary being a fan of the Hermits AND Motörhead). I didn't know that it was a Kinks song. Really weird thinking of Lemmy playing it! By the way, it's spelled Vicars, not Vickers. Thanks for letting me hear it!

[remix733]

@MrsButterflyTattoo That's how I came accross this song as well :) And by the way, the band went from being The Rockin' Vicars to The Rockin' Vickers in order to get more gigs, because, let's be honest - who would think that a band called 'The Rockin' Vicars' is any good?

[scotsmaninusa]

@MrsButterflyTattoo actually he is correct.it was 'vicars' in the early days that was changed to 'Vickers' in order to get gigs and a recording contract.as this is a recording it's 'Vickers' here's the sleeve

[MrsButterflyTattoo]

@scotsmaninusa Cool. All I knew was what Lemmy said in his book. He didn't mention about the name change (or if he did I overlooked it.). Sorry to sound like a know-it-all! Learn somethin' new every day....

[scotsmaninusa]

@MrsButterflyTattoo hey no big deal.remember to err is human.

cheers

[shaunatkinson6370]

@MrsButterflyTattoo Lemmy's autobiography White Line Fever was great. Hope you enjoyed it.

[BlackpoolPilgrim]

The Rockin' Vickers were FANTASTIC!!!

[Deadmaker7]

This reminds me of Spinal Tap when they were known as the Thamesmen

[ZulTheTraveller]

Would it be nice if Motorhead covers this song?

[j7777777]

a ray davies , kinks song :) .

[ZulTheTraveller]

And I also learned that I shared the same birthdate with Ray Davies! 21st June.

[fumetti]

@ZulTheTraveller Herman's Hermits covered it. Ray Davies of the Kinks wrote it.

[kiderjones]

I'm guessing that Lemmy is the one on the front right. Am I right?

I think I know god when I see 'em!!

[Pihteinen]

This picture shows the first line-up... Not the one that recorded this song and has Lemmy with it... So there's no Lemmy in this picture.

[fortybreath]

Actually, that's Lem on the right, kneeling in this picture.

[nasseri]

Hmmm...This is not 100% shit but I prefer Motorhead :)

[MikeG62]

Everyone has to start somewhere. Even Lemmy!
