Hawkwind-Needlegun

[jmolc]

Def my fav live song from the Live Chronicles record. Liking the Langdon songs for a change of vocals as well. Superb.

[mudyshox]

you wont see girls aloud doing Michael Moorcock themes, fuckin rock on HW

[blackdog3030]

I was told Hawkwind was a trip concert to go to. I can see that is true...

[edelweiss1001]

Drunken nerdiness, the needle gun was jerry cornelius, not elric, but what the heck its a big multiverse. Still reread Moorcock after all these years

[plisplis00]

ALWAYS AND FOREVER HAWKWIND!!!!!

[milander007]

Fuckin' hawks rock.. always have and always will-

[TheMiffyMouse]

Whoa, memories! Saw them at Hammersmith Odeon late 80's and they were brilliant. Only have this on vinyl now and had forgotten how great it is - this and Hurry on Sundown are my fave Hawkwind tracks.

[ludovica36]

@TheMiffyMouse I ALSO saw them Hammersmith Odeon.. I think 87.. wonder if it was the same show?

[ozzer2007]

[wak444]

[HansCoffe]

Zajebisty Kawałek.

[Wormtongue13]

Spinal Tap be damned! One of the best riffs ever created!

[Julian123123123]

I was there at Hammersmith for this gig, bloody fantastic!

[freacls]

having the real Elric on stage is a nice touch Tony something played Elric

[wellsrams]

Don't fuckin' analyse it! Listen to it, do you like it? Yes or no? I do!

[cavalier080854]

The needlegun was used by Jerry Cornelius (one of the trippiest characters in print set in the 60's) was one of the eternal champions, so why have they chosen Elric to represent him?

[klusterfuck]

well the video was taken during the live chronicles tour chronicle of the black sword being about elric another incarnation of the eternal champion close enough

[scallyhunter]

was this video from the "live chronicles" tour?

[TheFacelessWarrior]

Tackling fantasy fiction as part of a rock stage show will never be cool to most people. But when I was a kid reading the the Eternal Champion saga, Hawkwind music really brought out the cosmic side of those tales. When you're off on a head-trip the last thing you worry about is whether or not this is cool.

[gunsanddrugs]

nuthin to do with spinal tap etc,... a conception thats all, get hawkwind, get your head laid, or just listen to hairspray rock.. ur choice brother!

[Pureteenlard]

O lordy . . . "This is Spinal Tap" has little on this!

I like the music but, My God! they're pretentious!

[pashby3]

......Shallow words =

[Ninyae1]

Pretentious? These blokes aren't pretending. Check their history. Mr. Rotten is a great admirer and the Pistols in recent times covered the Hawks, Silver Machine. U may remember that Rotten was quick to condemn pretension. He never felt that Hawkwind had tabs on themselves. Performance does not always equate to pretension.

[Pureteenlard]

Getting someone to dress up as Elric and wave a sword around is, in my opinion, more smacks of pretence. I'm not crticising their abilities as musicians or lyricists just their stage show. Mind you, the era was rather well supplied with overblown stage acts if I recall correctly . . .

[Ninyae1]

You may be right. I get a difference sense when I listen to them.

[hawkmusica]

They might have been "overblown stage acts" but dont forget that hawkwind have always been showmen, and as such they put on a show of audio and visual stimulation. And as Michael moorcock wrote many of the lyics for chonicles of the blacksword and was on the tour as narrator, It was a fantastic audio/visual experience to be there.

Dont mean to be rude or anything, but have you actually seen Hawkwind live?

This is more theater, than just a gig.

Regards from Hawkmusica.

Keep on space Rockin' dude.

[Pureteenlard]

Have I ever seen them live?

No.

Too young . . .

Seen Motorhead a few times but that ain't really the same!

[pashby3]

...Thx For the Post, Great Quality-Waited a Long Time to See this Again.

[serpnta1267]

Great video and song!

[nighflier]

Love The Hawks man.  This is total rock circus.
