[WilsonVanGarneau]

Roky is an extreme talent. Underrated as all hell. I hope he continues to write and release stuff.

[nathansurf4200]

just watched the documentary on this dude....holy SH*******T!!!!!!!!!

[z0ela]

oh!yeah!

[sharona4608]

totally awesome!!!

[Johnny123456789x]

Sopor Aeternus's “Hades (Pluton)” brought me here.

It's a song with different lyrics but the chord progression and most of the melody is taken from this one, it's amazing and gorgeous and you should all listen to it.

[1surfersurfer]

entombed brought me here, but i like

[MrWaseta]

yeah işte benim adamım roky ericson kingg (=

[666lucky13]

I think I've listened to this about 5 times in a row now. Why does it have to end?

[thechangingcolors]

[TheMaggieMoods]

oh my god this song is fucking amazing!! love love love <3

[xvghinuvlo]

Entombed COVER is also BEST!

[tornmask]

hoooo!..the most intresting ScArY fReAkY song i've ever heard in my life bout VAMPS by Roky Erickson! =oO

[padinek]

If this song was used in Twilight maybe the film should be more less crap :D

[Ketchapoern101]

@padinek Nah , you would just ruin the song .

[paskiiainen]

2:46 Every goddamn time its the same thing. I get gooze pumps and shivers all over my body. Best song ever which gets better to the end.

[whatsthatthing]

so.. it's my night tonight?

[Vlad333Danziger]

Only the elite among the ghoulish fiends of the night know of him...

[VampireKittyPrincess]

<3 I love this song and how it makes me feel all over!

[Sniffer194]

@SeanIsaacBillings Totally cool? I wouldn't say so... maybe he doesn't look like this, but this one event changed his life completely...

[Sniffer194]

@SeanIsaacBillings So is Varg...

[osfs3411]

Listen to that vocal. Geez.

[Hypocamparis]

ich hör nix

[Sniffer194]

Doesn't Rocky remind you of Varg Vikernes? They're so similar ;]

[TheRob138]

@Sniffer194 ya he does a little but roky only got locked up for 5 joints but I'm sure he did stab someone in the head

[pennynjoe1]

@TheRob138 ????? where the f**k did you hear that? Roky was locked up over weed, Texas wanted to make an example of him....he never stabbed anyone in the head. Watch "You're Gonna Miss Me...or do some reading.

[TheRob138]

@pennynjoe1 dude I know he didn't you took it out of context...........ya I seen you're gonna miss me killer film

[aciagator]

ok ..slow...........boring.......­..

[SilverbackPeru]

im a massive fan of the Entombed cover and the originals just as good, i can see me checking out a lot of this guys stuff from now on, its class stuff!!

[skampiable]

actually this is a song that will stay in history for ever...........

[WildManWillis1]

He was wild, maybe crazy, but he was Houston's own; a very good guitarist, and innovator of Psychedelic Rock music!!

[johnfright]

@WildManWillis1 .. Austin's own! 

[Pokal777]

A excellent song, it has it all! Thanks

[MrCapnjack]

brain meltingly good

[rjunahiphop]

This song rules, but what's with every song title being the first line he says in EVERY TRACK? I mean I saw a pattern w/ the creature w/ the atom brain, but then it's cold night for alligators? wtf?

But all in all this dude is a complete badass, he quit high school a month before graduating cuz they tried to make him cut his hair. epic

[KalasNikov89]

he could be simply called roky rocks....

[rsmetal]

very Dax Riggs...actually I'm pretty sure Roky influenced Dax

and Dax is my musical god, so in turn Roky is my supergod

[Monius13]

One of the most badass songs ever!!!!

[Tristan1349]

The best song ever written on acid:)

[Arjanajanath]

@Tristan1349 And one of the best songs to listen to on acid!?!?!?!

[sumbellum]

Heard covers of this song. Entombed and Viikate.. Now I want this album.

[TheDevilsSon666]

This is sex. like. like. likeeeeee. i think it needs more likes.

[oeyesea]

Does anybody else listen to this while driving to pick up the kids from the ex?

[i3u7n5]

@oeyesea awesome..

[Randalljman]

LooK DeeP into his eyes and you will find jimmy hoffa

[michaellee2101]

[milissa5678]

Don't knock the Rok! Love this.

[lectrklady]

More Psychedelic Rock -- SPOOKY though -- FOR ALL MY VAMPIRE CLAN here is NIGHT OF THE VAMPIRE

[thibautcogn]

most hypnotic song ever writed

[TheGabrielDobos]

Kickass!

[NakedJumpingJacks]

i wanna suck this dudes cock so bad like a vampire

[killfroggy26]

Their remaking Fright Night..........

[13thfloor18]

@killfroggy26 That is a classic, no need to remake it i think,

[killfroggy26]

@13thfloor18 I totally agree....hollywood shouldn't.... but THEY ARE!!!!!

[13thfloor18]

@killfroggy26 oh dear, once more another film is summoned from the depths and given the treatment, by that i mean the torture treatment, what is it with remakes, i dont get it, what else is their to say about fright night? leave them alone hollywood. I suppose if it turns people on to the oldies its good but I wonder how many people rented the original Bangkok Dangerous. A gret asian film by the way,really great infact

[fango013]

@killfroggy26 They had better not fuck it up!

[JacksonHoliman]

where can i get this version?

[milissa5678]

@JacksonHoliman milissa5678

1 second ago

I have this version on vinyl -, produced by Stu Cook for Orb productions for CBS (UK copy

[scotscar]

awesome....didn't realize the version I know is different (faster and less atmospheric than this one but still kick-ass)

[neonwind]

Brilliant!

[RollRave47]

Awesome post. his solo career is often times shaded by the 13th floor elevators. I think his solo career is so much more unique. You can totally tell he went insane...

[8Svetlost]

čoveče ti si živ zauvek !!!

[bjalle2000]

Dritbra.....i fylla...

[JolPil]

...classic rock song, great power in his voice, this should be a movie track, it would have been great in the TRUE BLOOD - tv-series as the theme song...

[rocknrull]

don't even said that... or lots of twilight pussies are going to ask for this song for their fucking movies!!!!

[emagdali]

i think this song has gained an amount of popularity(thrashers and metallers in genuine) through the cover of entombed.I found it this way xD awsome song.

[rxwh]

Anyone know how many cover versions there is of this song? I liked entombed's one, then there was this power metal version which I didn't think much of at all xD

Great song this one, almost got a tear in my eye when I read about his condition after his therapy and all : /

[LEATT1]

I fucking love this song

[Suttu666]

Heard the Entombed cover for this, loved it, had to check the original, and I do believe I like this even more! :)

[EyeOfTheTornado]

Me 2; saw Entombed play it last Halloween!!!

[USBMFBMLLNBMOBM]

Great song, and i love the Breath In Sorrow's cover..... Great shit

[teawithkatie]

i love this song to death!!!! add me and send me this video like a billion times!!

[thetronrobot]

if its raining and your running, dont, slip in mud, cause, if you do, your, slippin blood tonite!!!!

[vonghoul]

One of the best songs ever in my opinion. Totally simplistic yet atmospheric as hell. Love these creepy songs and he was good at it.

[psbassplyr]

@vonghoul great call !! have ya seen his bio movie /

[vonghoul]

@psbassplyr I have saw it yes. It was very good if sad. Dude's got some issues but he seems to be in good spirits even if it is oblivious good spirits. Interesting how many people considers him a big influence.

[FISHMUSIC4U]

Heavy Duty Deep Vampire Shit!!! hahaha. Roky takin another BIG BITE of rock n roll history

[victorguionbajohol]

me encanto el artista y su musica.. pero pregunto yo, el final no suena DEMASIADO igual a la cumparsita? tango argentino de principios del siglo XX

[flyingteapotter]

Heavy grooves!

[tasara1989]

awesome song!

[IamUberStein]

Him and Charlie Manson would make a good songwriting duo

[Memoryscreen]

Manson was into the beach boys and shit

[rwebb61]

Not really, manson was into the Beatles and the Beach Boys, this is pretty much the opposite of Brian Wilson

[joseph21394]

wow, this is really good stuff.

[MrExzyz]

cool song to bad roky is a bit crazy.but thats prob what makes his music so damn good!

[1787dude]

a bit crazy, hes fuckin gone dude!!so am I.

[raggajones12]

SO HEAVY!!!!!

[bengkent]

pure genius!

[eltiempopuedemas]

aaaaaaa geniaaal !

[Klute187]

best song ^^

[MadmetalSam]

Sopor Aeternus ripping off this song and creating Hades Pluton was a good thing for Roky. Through Sopor,Roky has gained some reconigtion.

[benocrofist]

Indeed , and Anna did a great job on 'Hades Pluton' only just discovered that she had inspiration from this song, must say; Anna seems to like a lot of cool music herself *nods*

Nevertheless, this song is awesome (and not only because of Sopor).

[zarok13]

@benocrofist

I definitely agree, I myself am a huge fan of Sopoor (got all of their albums) and I still maintain that" Hades Pluton" is an absolutely awesome track. Yet there is something classic about this track, which renders it utterly unique. Roky, thank you for creating such a cool piece of music \m/

[razieltwiggy]

@zarok13 You also should hear the song "La cumparcita" a tango song.There are similitudes. i like more the sopor aeternus than Roky Erickson,but I've always though that the song of Sopor Aeternus was utterly composed for Anna Varney Cantodea.

[elfsphinx]

@razieltwiggy Which is the original? Anna Varney's or Rocky's?

[razieltwiggy]

@elfsphinx Rocky Erickson was the original composer. She should give him more credit.

[deadpool981]

this would go great with 30 days of night

[stupidguyx]

Was that the vampire movie set in Anchorage?

[deadpool981]

i think it was Barrow Alaska actually

[stupidguyx]

Ah, either way it was a good movie. You're right, this would go great with it.

[MrTreyAgnew]

And it was filmed in New Zealand... LAME Hollywood... LAME...

[nanya74]

This whole album is just amazing! Thanks for posting it so I could have a listen :)

[xSPLENDAx]

I lol'd.

[PhsycadelicRock]

Sorry, but i don't understand what you're saying. A translation into English would be really helpful :)

[Anag2080]

She said.....

'hey, roky! what is going on with you?. We are waiting for you in spain. We love you here as well . Champion. '

[MSTFreak]

Roky and his 60's heavy metal...

[PhsycadelicRock]

You're wrong, this was actually released in the 80's.

[MSTFreak]

Actually i'm absolutely right. Of course I know it was released in the 80's, I meant his style for this song. Very black sabbath like, yet still sounds like early 60's psychedelic rock.

[irishman572]

@PhsycadelicRock your both wrong, yes it was released in the 80's but it wasn't metal, it is considered psychedelic rock.

[nyghtowl]

@PhsycadelicRock no it wasn't...

This is availablr on bootlegs waaaaaaaaay b4 the 80's

[MrsKevinsmith]

@nyghtowl Show us! It wasn't released until the 80's! Tull does stuff like that....

[Vergiliusz666]

@PhsycadelicRock He didn't mean release date, I bet.

[NodrogTrax]

@PhsycadelicRock Not to mention, heavy metal itself has nothing to do with the 60s.

[hkja99]

This one and Entombed's versions are the bests

[tornmask]

Awesome scary song...the very 1st time i heard this song a while back i visited a club in NYC, celebrating a Mag, titled "Vampyer"...i freaked out!..x0]

[djmarthan]

One of my favorite evil tunes :D

[DarkSideGangsta74]

Indeed, this is so sweet tho.

[PrimevalScum]

I love Entombed's version of this song. I had no idea it was a cover. The original is awesome too.

[kingstomb]

They covered this?  Wow I'm gonna have to look for that!

[Lingohamster]

fucking hell. the song is just magic. i wassearching for entombed's version of the song. i like this one's first part way better than entombed's.

[j3wp0w3r]

true but then again entombed covered this 2 times lol

[Heikta]

thanks for adding Roky's songs here

[DarkSideGangsta74]

Great song, Fucking amazing.

Peace,

Drakulah

[juopperiman]

the most beautiful and evil album on earth. fucking fantastic.

[nukleopatra88]

It fun to compare this song to Hades Pluton. I think Varney did justice to the music.

[mvertimburton]

beautiful

[amandalperrone]

wonderful!

[PhsycadelicRock]

You read my mind!
