Sam Gopal - Sky Is Burning (1969), Pre-Motorhead!

[AcidKingFish]

¡Lemmy está navegando en ácido!

[NitramZiarreh]

ha! they're all high on acid... and the bassist has the weirdest tick on his right hand

[westgoten]

1:43 There is no right hand of God, just some left side warts.

[PAULLONDEN]

@westgoten A True legend..here just back from being HendriX' errand boy.His bio is a must read.

[photoslum]

yes- RIP Doctor Cosmo

[occams99]

I have arrived here via a frisbee thrown through time by the good Doctor Cosmo RIP. This is the place Dave Wyndorf was born.

[fckbadmusic]

I have the Escalator CD but I had no idea that this clip existed.

[67psych]

Lets remember that in 1967/68 Lemmy was one of Jimi Hendrix's Friends & RoadieesS (Spelt Wrong) he scored drugs like LSD for him!! then went on to make music, Psychedelia was all around,Indian music was part of the scene!Check out Lemmy in the 70's with HAWKWIND!!

[DeathByRickenbacker]

@67psych Think I heard a Lemmy tell a story in interview about when Jimi had like 100K LSD pills, coz of customs laws and shit, JH gave 'em all to Lemmy and one other dude Lol.

[theylive23]

Always thought it a shame that Lemmy didn't add more 'da-da-da-da-da-da's (2.09) to his singing with Motorhead...

[scotsmaninusa]

pre motorhead? pre hawkwind more like

[steleder]

@scotsmaninusa sounds like before he discovered his love of amphetamine as well ;0).

[NinjaJedi11]

whats the way that guy is playing the bass, i cant tel if he's picking on the neck, or slapping

[JacknCocaine]

Holy sh*t - I didn`t know that Lemmy did sing in Sam Gopal - I always thought he just played guitar. Awsome footage - thx for sharing!

[TheCWPFilms]

finally can play this on bongos now!

[9caps2hell]

great to see this! thanks for posting it man!!!!

[upsetMISFIT]

Thats pre Hawkwind even i do believe

[SamuraiFrank67]

Very ironic he used to belong to the "Rocking Vicars" since his father was a priest!

[christcouteau]

culte!

[slapperham1]

Check the opening chords - sounds like Lem used these again for 'Dead and Gone' from Snakebite Love some 30 years later

[SamuraiFrank67]

Wow! Go figure Lemmy sang like this before Motorhead! Is this pre-Hawkwind?

[tatunkha]

@SamuraiFrank67 yes this is the band he was in before Hawk wind & he play guitar more than bass

[Ellentim]

@SamuraiFrank67

Yes, pre- Hawkwind. Prior to Sam Gopal's band, Lemmy was in The Rockin' Vicars! Great name or what?!

[roddles49]

Ye gods, that is MY guitar Lem is playing there. At least I have been 'looking after it' for him for about 40 years !! This is the first time I have seen it without NAILS in it, after the Lemster 'crucified' it. Thankyou for uploading this, hall9calation.

[upsetMISFIT]

@roddles49 sure bro

[euphorik6]

holy shit! thanks for uploading.

[alberthoffman1]

actually brought the album back in '69 and still think its a lost gem of english psych-music...check out new u.k. psych band 'hoffmans bicycle' who openly admit the huge influence on them!

[BritishSteel1965]

excellent video

[noreplygimp]

Around 1.46 sam gopal's suddenly wearing a raincoat... next shot it's gone again... great find this vid though Lemmy looks very bored.

[dipnsoss]

This is great! Lemmy was built for speed, but this is still cool as hell! thanks

[abandcalledbert]

this guitar riff is pretty similar to Dead and Gone off the Snakebite Love album

[fingernegl]

Why is Gopal considered to be the worst tablet player?

[fingernegl]

Plamet caravan

[MightyHungryLion]

THANKS SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR THE UPLOAD!!!

AFTER ALL... LEMMY IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/

[thedarkarse]

Very un-Motorhead! Non-rock. Poor Lemmy looks like he had to do this as part of his community service.

[deepindercheema]

Is that Ian daddy ya ya. What does that mean?

Glad you agree. Sam Gopal,: the worst tabla player in London back in '67.

The Stable Label, Simon Stable who had a piece in IT 'droppings from the Stable' was married to the (still shaggable) Judy Dyble.

[KillinDaWelfareMCs]

@deepindercheema

WE don't know that. He was not here to play a virtuoso peice. All is supposed to do in this song is play a basic slow kerva teka, and he does.

[nickthelick]

This is the TITS!

[wailin1967]

MY GOD ! ......where on earth did this come from ? !!

[jimlakedemon]

where did you find it this video??its ingredible bravo very cool!!!!!!

[stevemangler1]

Check out Motorhead's Dead and Gone !

Fantastic song - it's most definitely taken from this tune .

Very cool !

[fluffydolly]

awesome time piece....very kool!!!!

[wufpac1983]

Priceless! thank you...rock on...

[superbeastok]

freaking goood :D lemmy is god!!!!!

[konecny6]

AWESOME! This clip is one of the best I've seen on YouTube! Never knew there was a video of Lemmy with Sam Gopal. This is priceless!!

[deepindercheema]

You can still hear Lemmy's stokey accent despite the lalalala's. Who is the other fellow on the Gibson guitar? Sam Gopal, probabbly the worst tabla player in London at the time.

[wailin1967]

@deepindercheema Hi Deepi - Ian here ! Roger D'Elia is on guitar, Phil Duke on bass - I agree - the tablas just don't cut it !

[sotrisi]

precious, thanks man

[mickhutchinson]

Not seen Sam Looking like this for a long time !!

[EmperorSamoth666]

Wow!! Lemmy only has 24 years in the video and he looks like he has 40!! Lemmy rules...

[Grumphuttock]

wow young lemmy, he looks slightly awkward playing a guitar , nice find :)

[evanswho]

Can't believe he went on to do Ace of spades!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!

[thanes1234]

[chainrelease]
