The Warlocks - Shake the Dope Out

[gramoukdoom]

makes me wana toke a fatty

[ostrish]

mix of sister ray and the second part of not if you are the last dandy on earth .

[zombieoverdrive]

Loved this song for a few years now, first time i've seen the video for some reason. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for posting it.

[BBACRU]

I thought that Lou Reed was in a band called the warlocks before velvet underground, this is of course not it,

[rustyskatez]

@BBACRU no the warlocks were the grateful dead before the dead. but ya lou wouldve fit in haha

[DataUnit]

<3

[VonWarwick]

I was under the impression that there were a few members of VU, or maybe just one in the Warlocks

[pinkyring4]

Music snobs are boners.

[MrBrianlowdown]

love the warlocks...this songs a bit new,,,,,,if any of you were real music freaks you would be able to tell the verse is ...sister ray from lou reed

[IvyMike777]

To each his/her own. To anyone who says they sound like BJM, well Bobby was IN the BJM so no big shocker there. Yeah it sounds like the Dandy's too - all the same camp. All of these bands heavily influenced by Velvets and Lou Reed, whats wrong with that? You think they don't acknowledge that (Song For Nico)? If you don't like it, feel free not to listen. For my 2 cents - seeing the Warlocks live were 2 of the greatest nights of my life, white noise included....

[trufiend138]

losers...1st thing i thought of when i saw this vid beginning was he wants to be lou reed...fuck all these wanna be bands

[369migi]

@trufiend138 oh i'm sorry i had no idea you could just judge by the first glance so how about you piss off and stop hating it's good music anyways

[broelo]

@trufiend138 Who doesn't wanna be Lou Reed?

[SebSk]

Wat is this I don't even...

I wanted to see The Warlocks, not some random shrooming rock band...

[pelehasmo]

This could be easily on WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT by the Velvet Underground. :D

[mindmartian]

sounds like Rock n roll to me . thats what its all about. why compare who cares just play . and live high

[lasloacosta]

nice tribute to the VU's "sister ray" riff. Love this

[SpencerJacobMusic]

@lasloacosta hahahahahahahahaha!



[TruthRadiator]

If you like this crap you're a total fucking idiot. My advise, Kill yourself!!!!! suckers

[AutomaticaRobotica]

@TruthRadiator

Typical 'truther' douchebag.

[TruthRadiator]

@AutomaticaRobotica Did you kill yourself already? If not what are you waiting for? Your life ain't gonna get any better. just do it! you won't regret it.

[AutomaticaRobotica]

@TruthRadiator lawl

[nathan120000]

BJM influence!!

[EarlofSuave308]

@nathan120000  YES!

[MythicShot]

Charlie Sheens favourite band !!

[foolykonno3]

brian jonestown massacre. 

[danarazzi]

@foolykonno3 hehe, 30 seconds into the song i said i'd have a look down at the comments to see any BJM comments...very similar alright!

[Agentorange88]

@foolykonno3 BJM = 1000XBETTER.



[nathan120000]

@Agentorange88

;)

[Tulleth100]

@Agentorange88  Why even compare? Just appreciate both bands and keep music evil.

[driftz0r]

@Agentorange88 Different bands, different sounds. Heavy Duty Skull Lover to me sounds way more deep and psychedelic than anything BJM has done...IMO. Although Bravery, Reptition and Noise & My Bloody Underground would come close.

[GodStarRevisited69]

I like the Original Warlocks( Grateful Dead)  and this Warlocks band.. both good bands, very different , with some similar themes.

[GeraldTheShoe]

Shake the derp out. You can't unhear it.

[willissippi]

@GeraldTheShoe Goddamn you Gerald.. Now I can't shake the derp out...

[blessiththechily]

i came here looking for Jerry Garcias 1965 band....... epic fail.

[chaiserougetheband]

Warlocks are cool and i've been lucky to meet Bobby in one of his concert in switzerland... He is a cool guy but he was more looking to flirt with gruppies! Unfortunately, no success this night...

Come and check our shoegaze music if you have time...

[MrHello435222]

This is a really great video

[triflind]

Seeds much ??

[kikkinbut]

remind me alot of spacemen3.

[gavincasablanca]

L.A. BABY.!!!

[allytron]

one of the best out there. great act, get back to london soon.

[leighslambchops]

I went to see this band in Wolverhampton a few years ago, it might of been the worst gig ive ever been too! They might be able to blame the p.a system but it was just noise, horrible noise! Shame really as i was really looking forward to seeing them.

[ELPIKE75]

see ya tomorrow evenin in the botanique of Bruxelles............

[Elwin4mad]

@ELPIKE75 Where they any good?

[BohemianAsh]

Sounds very much like Sister Ray of the Velvet Underground and Boys Better by The Dandy Warhols

[hobbitiaris]

Warlocks are cool but this is way too similar to sister ray



[LikeAPossum]

Jack and Sally inside...

[Mike1967b]

boys better by the Dandy Warhols is what I hear...

[jandean61]

@Mike1967b I dont think so..

[Mike1967b]

@jandean61 I understand that not everyone hears the same thing when listening to a song. E, G, D, A... (some variation on that progression)... in the same strum pattern. That is why I hear Boys Better. Only the bridge is different. But I bet you could sing the lyrics over the top.

[TheFate23]

sister ray

[willonz]

SISTER RAY :D

[TheFuckyourshit]

Is this a joke?

haha

[arfletch75]

Pretty ballsy move to take that name. Good tunes, though.

[jeroenvlerre]

he shakes like neil young

wears lou reed sunglasses

i like that guy

[DzedajO]

@jeroenvlerre He really looks like John Kay from Steppenwolf, too :)

[Harrykeyster]

Wasn't Billy Joel supposed to be in this band?

[IvyMike777]

A Warlocks gig will melt your brain (in a good way). 

[ratne02]

THE WARLOCK!!!!!!

[miniGMgoit]

Another BJM alumni.

Excellent band.

[Barrazarama]

@miniGMgoit fuck yeyeah man

[jdmaninny]

Good music is hard to find nowadays. This is good music.

[vetdar]

mixer, J&MC and Syd Barret . excellent..

[MrWarchild69]

this band combines all the sex appeal and coolness a rock band should have

[gomle3]

Soooo good! Rock n Roll played with heart and soul ! No more, no less......

[captaininsanity89]

um if ne of you knew ne thing about music you would know that it is inevitable that one group will use a riff from another band or a tempo from anothert band.... so on and so on in blues they do it all the time there are only so many combinations of music can be made before they are repeated

[bassbird]

@captaininsanity89 yeah, this riff is kind of a whole genre to itself . Many songs by velvet underground, lou reed, spaceman 3, etc. use something very similar

[kalebgranthunter88]

A million times better then the soulless fucking Dandy Warhols. Fuck them and their mothers.

[jcborchardt]

haha dandy warhols blow.

[vdeferens]

@kalebgranthunter88 I wish I could.

[SufferingLuna]

yeah, this is the riff from sister ray and the chorus from what goes on. They should've just played em as covers.

[lakai958]

good

[Jayhawks6]

this song is such a rip off of The Velvet Underground's song, "Sister Ray". However, this is still good. These guys remind me of a drone version of the dandy's.

[jandean61]

THE BRAIN JONESTOWN MASSACRE

[chrismitch34]

I dont think they sound like BJM at all, more like Jesus and Mary Chain. same with brmc but I love it!!

[ieatorbs]

@chrismitch34 Very JMC and The Music Machine ya know? I say this is a bit more original than what A Place to Bury Strangers are doing.

[UlulatingBanshee777]

this is not the velvet underground, but an incredible simulation...... I love this track!

[Tarclaw]

stop hating, its a good song fuckin music snobs

[vicavox]

I like to think of myself as a music snob, and these guys are good. So let the cretins deal with their own issues if they don't like 'em.

[underpuka]

this band have two drummers???

[stanleysoldman]

another reason they sound so good!!

[stanleysoldman]

Anton Newcombe is king! brilliant song writer

[jandean61]

i dont c any of u motherfuckers making good music .

[equusMenagerie]

gibson and vox instrument users... my kind of band

[insanedrummer1111]

Lol my bro is in this band now. This song is much different than eat I've heardthem play live

[BobMcCob]

Wow I find this not too derivative. Same genre at best.

[Bukosaure]

I'm discovering this new band.

[jimmycogliandro]

for every velvet underground nostalgic heart :)

[ZombieHipHop2345]

yeah sounds just like Sister Ray

[sisterdiggins]

Great record.

Never get sick of this.

[Crbsee]

its all the same! and they all have sun glasses!

[driftz0r]

This new breed of 60's revivalist rock is great. There's been a whole generation of youths that havn't been exposed to this type of music and this brings exposure to essentially what is real rock and roll. I can't get enough of bands like Spin Drift, BJM, BRMC, Warlocks, Black Lips etc

[morpDprime]

this represents everything that's wrong with music today.

[curtisrunstedler]

how so? this is great!

[morpDprime]

Well if you enjoy derivative music rehashed by echo boomers trying to relive their parents glory days well then this is great. Rock on mediocrity and unoriginality!

[hamfranky]

This hardly represents the mainstream rock music today..

[discontentartist]

like your music was much more sophisticated. I've listened to a very wide variety of genres, and the warlocks have their own originality. and they bring their own unique elements to the music, they're far from being a trend/novelty and they've also done some experimentation that is reminiscent of sonic youth. so fuck you and your ignorance, morpDprime

[morpDprime]

Wow self righteous much? Please explain to me why this band is original and not a poor rehash of music that was being made 40 years ago.

[discontentartist]

because I looked at more than one video and found they are more varied than you are giving them credit. It appears that you looked up just one video and immediately dismissed their artistic endeavor. Given, this song is very close to original 60's (but with its own distinct feel), however the musicianship, progression, balance, etc, is sound. Look up their song Moving Mountains, however, and tell me if you can find an close 60's analog to that sound. I'd be very impressed.

[morpDprime]

That song sound like a rejected Pink Floyd track try again. Everything about this band screams bland rehash. Like store brand mayonnaise.

[Outpost206]

it's slung back and polished, like we got good at getting high. it's okay to get good at things

[ramonespinhead]

they remind me of the velvet underground and i love it

ROCK ON!!

[afterniatis]

excellent. I highly recommend this band to any fan of the 60's rock.

[smnmntl]

Well I highly recommend 60s rock to any fan of 60s rock. The Warlocks I recommend to any fan of recycled bullshit. "Wearing your influences on your sleeve".... please. How about "doing something interesting & creative with your influences rather than just copying them wholesale"? These guys are the musical equivalent of a TV dinner... looks like food, smells like food... but tastes like warmed-up processed crap.

[vicavox]

Thank goodness you weren't an influential music critic back in the 60s, for if it weren't for white bands completely mimicking their black blues counterparts we wouldn't have had the evolution of music that spawned everything we resemble as being "rock" (of any subsection and genre) today. Shame on these guys for being influenced, your lack of knowledge on contemporary musical quality is shocking. Why not stick to Kings Of Leon and leave the rest to those with taste. Good day sir.

[smnmntl]

Well now that you mention it, I'm no great fan of 60s bands "completely mimicking" their black blues counterparts either - e.g. The Stones and Led Zeppelin at their most boring. But if you really think that pedestrian blues ripoffs = "the evolution of music that spawned everything we resemble [? huh?] as being rock today", then good for you. I'll bet you like The Dandy Warhols too.

[meatwurst]

there's a difference between ripping off and wearing your influences on your sleeves....the Warlocks fuckin rule.

[thebigfatyoyo]

i agree with you, that this is very similar to sister ray and songs of the like and that this band are obviously extremely influenced by the velvets but compared to half of the talentless shit that gets pushed threw the radio these days (that ALL sounds the same) this is a fucking brilliant song!!!!

[alexsweeley]

@thebigfatyoyo THEM THREE CHORD SONGS!

[jandean61]

THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE

[Sqeeeeeeeeeak]

are love

[SailAwayAgain]

I fucking LOVE this band :D

[ilovechugs]

yah, totally jacked their name from the dead. WEAK!

[jandean61]

THE WARLOCKS MC

[morninglory1095]

SISTER RAY

[2iidTommy]

these guys suck

[Robbie59]

But why use three guitars and two drumsets ?

[phatmanxxxl]

I guess to be different, it dosent sound bad though.

[Robbie59]

! Luv it <3

[Lucasisdemon]

Yeah, very Sister Rayish.

Its cool though. They're a good band. There arent many like them nowadays.

[kidv2]

Aw just like Sister Ray said

[miekdubb]

...sounds like what awesome would sound like..

... just like it

[slipperysteven]

Simpsons did it

[petthewarrior]

partrrrridge family cover!

[vert16]

yeh?

[11spike7]

People are SO wacky. The VU influence is unmistakable...yet someone says they sound like Neil Young!

Anyway, this is a cool song.

[rebreder]

Actually, The Warlocks was Grateful Dead's first name, according to Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton in the book "Last Night a DJ saved my life". They played in the first Kool-Aid Acid Test in 1965, in which occasion, changed their name, specially for the event, to The Grateful Dead (after considering Mythical Ethical, Icicle Tricicle and Nonreality Sandwich).

[motobanite]

Noooo wrong Warlocks mate!

[romeosdistress]

it was also an early name of VU, another around that time was The Falling Spikes

[mellymanfamily]

the grateful dead were also called the warlocks.

[romeosdistress]

hence my use of the world 'also'

[snowgod37]

someone play music say something....

[realsefyu]

warlocks is the name of a band that lou reed and john cale create before the velvet

[dam0nk3yking]

youre thinking of the falling spikes arent you?

[BooRadleysGhost]

sounds like the velvet underground

[baptistecouvidat]

Un son tout simplement magique depuis Le Velvet

[sychosnake]

this reminds me of neil young more than vu.

[michae666geaney]

H rocks but i probly wouldnt touch it again, it rocks a little to hard. this song is dope, i lo0ve these guys, sorta remind me of smashing pumpkins or my bloody valentines a bit. peace

[BooRadleysGhost]

reminds me of the vlevet underground

[kosser321]

Only person I know who's done heroin is in jail...

Anyways a great song!!

[millardforever]

Sure, there are similarities between this song and "Sister Ray," but I really don't think they're similar enough to warrant copyright infringement or anything. I've actually never really associated the two. Either way, great vid, thanks for putting it up!

[ROXYVOMiT]

this song's into has a very striking resemblence to the velvet underground song - sister ray.. do you know how they got over the copyright?

[caroramone]

i love this song =)

[squareballalert]

i saw them in concert in athens ga around 2001 and the singer was very rude to the soundguy. the music was good, but not good enough to warrant him being a dick about the monitor mix. still, i like them a lot!

[stonedevil]

fuck all yall heroin rock is tight. maybe if you were man enough to shoot up you could see that. have fun in the midwest losers...

[Jazalicious]

Screw you. Heroin is fucking stupid, and I almost died using it. If you were a fucking man you'd quit now. Or are you too chicken to admit you're hooked on it?

[courtneytdw]

the sound is similar... i am big fan of the dandys.. i know many things bout them..

[destroyersrubies]

the dandy warhols are fuckin vain, self righteous pansies

[courtneytdw]

thats the sound of the dandy warhols!!!

[bigbadbboy126]

wrong, that's the sound of the BJM, do some research, I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.

[planet9]

Yeah, the Brian Jonestown Massacre is my Fav band, but listen to Sister Ray by The Velvet Underground and you can see who The Warlocks are really influenced by.

[leirgauk]

rofl

[pinheadsen]

Saw these guys at the Quart Festival in 2004 two in the morning, 30 people were there but a highlight in my life!

[MarvelZombie88]

AND REPLACE THEM WITH THE WARLOCKS!!

[roxyimawesome]

;D

rox

[thisisforreal]

the dope feels good

[caroramone]

como una mezcla entre velvet underground y los dandy warhols xD

me gustó =)

[dragster58]

fAROUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrashHell]

Plucky Rules!!

[micr0cosm]

Way to rip off Velvet Underground's sound.

[wineinabox]

there's worse sounds you could rip off, i guess.

[micr0cosm]

True :D
