[dcanmore]

Andy Dunkley the Roundhouse Legend ... RIP

[defolbat]

Andy Dunkley RIP. Sadly passed away on Saturday 30th April 2011. You'll be missed by all of us - you lived life to the full with no compromise. A brilliant human being.

[YuriGagarin67]

The song is "Lost Johnny" it's on Motorheads first album "On Parole" I think. Can't remember if or what Hawkwind album it was on. It's possible they didn't release it so Lemmy did.

[rubaomaturana]

What's the name of the song playing at 05'30??? Please!!!

[gashloog]

@rubaomaturana yeah, same here, i wanna know the name of that song... sounds amazing

[MrPabz9]

Space Ritual's good , but Space Ritual Sundown Vol 2 is the real deal un edited Time We Left, Brainstorm, 7by7. 

[anitaforgeth]

joy joy joy

[badsign1980]

why did del leave?

[mastertemplate]

I loved the UA years, classic hawk stuff but they just get better, brilliant musicians all of them who joined them over the years and decades. I would love to see the Hawks bring out a triple based on their philosophy of space time aliens mother earth and humanity... all this pieces are there just knit them together. I would do it myself but I'm busy with my own books on the Holy Grail. Enoch U R Late!

[Hellmut34]

The Space Ritual Alive album is simply one of the best i have ever heard.

[TheMaxlow]

simon house was in a band called High Tide which are FANTASTIC i recomend them to everyone

[christinesshadows]

snawsy? I love u Lemmy

[dazzelknight]

this is your captain speaking ,,,,your captain is dead !

[debicraig]

was at the recording Liverpool Stadium '72

[Alembic25]

Space Ritual is utterly PIVOTAL for me personally. A rich massive sound and driving riffs. As a bassist myself it gives an object lesson in pushing and driving basslines. I could go on all night here.......

[beyoncelover202]

"homosexual truck drivers" LOL

[1MUFC]

It doesnt matter how many times i listen to the piece of song at the start of the vid, it just never gets old. I could listen to it on repeat for hours, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and get a warm glow inside lol

[jozxyqk1]

Space is Deep

[rss313]

One of, if not THEE, best live album ever. So great.

[skree100]

its a shame the bbc4 show wasnt balanced by the story from Richard, Dave . Niks story is intetresting but there is the other story that bbc4 should have balanced it with.

[ChilloutJohn]

Supposedly Dave Brock refused to appear at the last minute leaving the BBC not much choice...

[MGD81]

at the beginning of the doc it states Dave Brock refused to appear because of Nik Turner's involvement

[zamp99]

Come on lemmy a quid till friday. Havn't seen the felix the cat video from levitaion tour yet anyone finds it buzz me Its black and white at the dentisit

[skawashers]

moorcock moorcock Michael Moorcock you fervently moan

[jasonjarvis1988]

I allways loved hawkwind when Calvert was in the band,he's a genious

[kraexaie]

wait, in canada speed is legally a food?? in a diff interview with lemmy he said they thought it was coke and since the court had false info they had to let him of free even tho speed is illigal to

[jkoff76]

NO, meth is only technically legal as food in Oregon and Washington, USA: Trust me, I know, either that or their or we have the most burnt out Winnebagos!!!

[tylerdurdenbd]

well if he is too much of a control freak to refuse to take part because of nik then its better off for it.

[dennisrw]

Andy Dunkley - from Flirtie Gertie by the Jiv A Tones to Hawkwind.  What a Journey. Weoley Castle and KEGS Camp Hill to this Heavy Stuff. Go Dunks...

[auto4union]

Just found out that New Model Army drummer Rob Heaton played with Hawkwind for a short period!How cool is that?My two favourite bands!Peace ye`all!

[WizardofFuzz]

strange! just borrowed a cheap metal sampler from my girlfriend and somehow most of the bands on it are somehow connected- hawkwind, motörhead, girlschool, new model army...

[1MUFC]

actually is the music at the start even silver machine ?. Whatever it is I NEED IT, can someone please point me in the right direction. thanks

[TheSpareFish]

Sounds like "Space is Deep".

[auto4union]

"Lords of light" i think or maybe part of "space is deep" live....?

[HawklordPXR5]

Yes, it's "Space is Deep," the "Space Ritual" version.

[1MUFC]

Silver machine !, sorry for being a bit thick there lol. Its actually unreal, can't believe i haven't heard this before. Where can i find the exact version of it on this film, it just doesn't sound as good anywhere else

[1MUFC]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS TRACK ? at the start of the film. The EXACT version please. Its immense.

[sonicattacker]

It's Space Is Deep from the Space Ritual album.

[vatosking]

I am friends with Simon House's daughter lol

[PutItAway101]

"Five tabs of acid" probably a typical breakfast at Lemmy's house

[sonicattacker]

Dave Brock declined to appear in the documentary because of Nik Turner's participation. We can only wonder what his contibution would have been.

[PAULLONDEN]

Simon House brought some

beautifull sounds to this allready

great band.

[stevenashe]

Simon House was vital to Hawkwind's development, he has his own myspace page and is still going strong. A true musical wizard.

[lauradorp]

My Neighbour told me that he saw them in 1972 in Sittard at the Schouwburg, but they were so high didn't couldn't play Silvermachine anymore. All the people were waiting and were tripping hahahaha

[gstuba001]

where's 7??

[Threeload]

Great to see Hawkwind on YouTube, terrific upload :) My Jamaican parents would have disowned me or cut my throat if they heard me wailing on about them as a kid back in 1972! I love all great music, whatever genre. Silver machine always reminds me of those toffee apple days at the local travelling fairground with biker lads wolf-whistling many Stacia glammed up lookalike schoolgirls giggling on the merry go-round :) heady days indeed...

[PocusUK]

hope you get part 7 up soon. I'm still confused as to why Nik and Dave were at odds during this?

Got to meet Nik at the Reunion gig at Brixton academy in 2001 or something like that. They were before my time but i've tried to get as many albums of there's that I can I fecking love em'

[Fudgeya]

Space Ritual is definitely one of the best live rock albums I can think of. The band is incredible tight and the energy is just relentless

[tylerdurdenbd]

thats due to lemmy ans simon king being amphetemine fueled ....

[crazybas1992]

motorhead is shit

hawkwind is fucking LEGEND

[lauradorp]

fuck you

[crazybas1992]

i'm actually sorry i said that.i decided to give motorhead another chance

[lauradorp]

OK i'm sorry too hahahaha

[crazybas1992]

ok as long as we're friends.

love you!!!!

[lauradorp]

OK peace love and rock 'n roll.

I saw Motorhead yesterday-evening, they played

a gig in Kerkrade-the Netherlands.

It was fuckin Loud....but I liked it and that is the main thing, the support act was Overkill.

[sonicattacker]

Lemmy's bass playing on The Space Ritual is sublime and shows what a good instrumentalist he really is.

[oldoipunk]

I was just listening to Space Ritual on my way back from work today, and last night coming back ( 1hour drive) from my masters degree class. I am into punk, but Hawkwind will always have a place in my heavy rotation list. Lemmy's bass playing is agressive and mean. Lemmy is a bass god! Play Space Ritual LOUD, it totally fuckin' rules!

[PAULLONDEN]

Deep field HUBBLE says....Space Is Dééééép.

[zombiesonacid]

Whats the name of the song which is on at the start of this section of the documentary... it is ace?!

[sonicattacker]

Space Is Deep from The Space Ritual. The whole album is fantastic.

[zombiesonacid]

Thanks mate, this sort of stuff is just amazing. Yeh, I'm gonna get that album! Thanks again :)

[pylgrym]

"...hypnotic....relentless....­. Bave a master at controlling a theatrical sense... come along and have a jam?"

[HeidiLandRover]

Great stuff!

But where is part 7?

[hellotimetogo]

Me and my buddies saw the Ritual tour. Can't say it was that good, though I LOVED the LP. Along with Doremi Faso Latido.

Must have seen them when things were beginning to turn.

[facehoover666]

Hail Hawkwind... Lemmy is King!

[yaiknowscrewme]

silver machine is a trip..lemmy and that 72' drummer were awesome..Derry NH

[nisusCGA]

aah... Hawkwind is the most underestimated group... there influence was HUGE... some songs sound like pre-metallica... pre-almpost ANY famous rockband of the 80s 90s... weird weird... no one knows hawkwind, everyone knows there 'offsprings'... and thinks the offsprings invented it... same with michael jackson who got it from james brown... or even beethoven and mozart, who got it from Haydn!!! (The latter ALSO very underestimated!)

[hawkwindthinman]

I've lived in Canada since Nov '72 and never saw Hawkwind (Motorhead 4 times) here, did do some acid to a Psychedelic Furs gig coz they had Hawkwinds old light show.

[DevSodDribble]

As an American, (Salem New Hampshire), born in 1974, I can't thank whoever put this up enough. There have been NO oppertunities to see Hawkwind live, and their albums are out of print. There's like, me and 3 people on the internet in this country who give a shit about this stuff. Thank you.

[HawklordPXR5]

thanx for your thanx... note that they're scheduled to play a festival near NY fairly soon. A place called Bethlehem, I think. So go check it out!!

[RalonzoP]

No way. Hawkwind's Space Ritual was, and is, hugely influential on both sides of the pond. It's a timeless piece of work that never gets dated.

[madmonk66]

That makes 4 then. I love Hawkwind and I am in Dallas.

Pulsating sensory overload and damn greatness.

[BIGSBYTREM]

You can still get their albums. I have bought them all on record and again on CD and I was born in 71 born raised and live in Montreal Canada where everything was french and horrid! try Amazon!

[atzenanu]

@DevSodDribble Man, they play at about every festival in Europe and all their albums are still for sale...Can't imagine that you can't find their stuff in the US?

[DevSodDribble]

@atzenanu A lot of British bands like Hawkwind and Slade just never 'made it' in the US, hence it was always incredibly difficult to find their stuff. Nowadays you can download a lot of these albums, but in the past, it meant scouring secondhand record stores for hours, or paying huge import fees.

[stonersid]

@DevSodDribble educate our american cousins.....you are the messiah :O)

[dannyhood66]

@DevSodDribble There are other young people out there who like hawkwind im sure of, And I think they still play live..Which makes it more powerfull if you ever go to a show, Hawkwind still reminds me of liking metallica in 1984, nobody heard of them and if they did they automaticly hated em//No shit, I mean mettalica has been top 40 since 1990, And used to be called speed metal before 86..But some of those were best concerts because of the few and the proud that were into it and really loved it.
