Roky Erickson - Bloody Hammer

[badapplestothecore]

superb!!!!



[sanorurahan]

He is the ONE and only ONE he is a rock n roll vampire...love you Roky

[sunra3000]

i hung out with roky one day around the time this album came out, it was very strange slipping inside that house LOL

LOVE YA, ROKY, YOU WILL ALWAYS VANQUISH THE DOUBTERS!

[MrZzachariah13]

fuck jagger!!! why does everybody compare him to roky?

[wretchedSTONER]

Roky Erickson said to me you can trust acid before the C.I.A.........

[mrshowwithkyle]

@wretchedSTONER

The Company Band is great stuff man, can't wait to see what, if anything, they do next!

[wretchedSTONER]

@mrshowwithkyle - Dude, I LOVE em'. I'm a huge CLUTCH fan. So it was natural to like a band with Neil Fallon blasting the mic. i hope they make some more tuneage, because everything they've done so far has been solid gold.....

[TheMrSobchak]

1 person have the bloody hammer

[mirkopozarevacmps]

This is my first Roky Erickson song that i heard.It was in skate video Birdhouse The beggining there was Cold night for alligators too.Sorry for my bad English Im from Serbia.

[jewboyjwr]

1 person never had the bloody hammer

[hotmess247]

I wonder if he ever had the bloody hammer?

[elrickization]

None rock harder than Rocky Erickson. Original horror rock. Not the rocky horror picture show. 

[billythe81]

ROKY RULES..HOSPITALS,THERAPY BUT NOTHING TO BRING HIM DOWN

[nednsnuff]

Amazing ... knew of Roky because of 13th Floor Elevators but never followed him after that ... what a mistake. I thank the rock gods that I have stumbled across his music because he composes rock tunes with an authentic spirit. Songs stripped to the core with a pounding delivery. Thanks to all who carried his torch so that we might have our way lit.

[damnheat2005]

Fucking brilliant!

[dalailama123]

1 person has a sledgehammer

[johnfright]

Fucking Doctor O'Chain. What the shit you think he's doing up in the attic with that bloody hammer?

[bpomush]

If i find the one dislike on this page i will smash them with the bloody hammer and make them stand before the fire demon.

[promidinner99]

@bpomush and put them into the night of the vampire?

[6rings66]

FIGGYYY!!!!

[777Erixon]

this is one bloody song.. Hehe

[SIatanica]

i never noticed but the bass pedal in the beginning is supposed to be the hammering of the bloody hammer. It's trippy as hell if you think about it.

[TheTeamMinority]

fuckin love this song

[slapnecks]

Roky may not have had the bloody hammer, but he sure as hell hammered this song into my mind, been humming it for 5 weeks now....

[scaryfairyboi]

RokY Erickson makes my fucking ears gasm something fierce. True musical genius

[777Lateralus]

[hulud99]

I just started checking out his solo work tonight. Found another favorite artist! Sooo good.

[elmastertop96]

[jewonacamel]

This is truly amazing... just found out about this guy a few weeks ago.. and also i found out hes playing on the first of January right here in Brooklyn...can't wait....

[whitetrashoutlaw]

Hey I saw him on january first at southpaw, rock on fellow brooklyn roky fan!

[velopunk]

hey i want the version that he is alone with a guitar and a crown... is not on youtube :( o idont found it-.-

[dynamitejack666]

@velopunk try myspace, maybe hes got it there! :-)

[Jesse0989]

jagger has nothing on roky's voice.

[megafaded69]

@Jesse0989 I've een saying that since I first heard the 13th Floor Elevators.

[megafaded69]

Respond to this video...  been*

[michelst14]

haunted. Roky sometimes sounds like

Jagger.

[AJtheory]

@michelst14

reminds me of Janis Joplin only more ragin'

reminds me of Jethro Tull, only more higher, ON HIGH

[ashetonpop]

Buy the LP/CD CASTING THE RUNES!!!!! This is the most ripping live record he ever made, Bloody Hammer is much much better there!!! Serious!

[killedbyLife]

The dark truth about this music is that it would probably not sound like this w/o Roky's horrible time in the mental hospitals.

But I guess we will never know.

[posthumanhero]

destroys the official version

[killedbyLife]

What version are you refering to?

[posthumanhero]

the one which was released in the 70s.....the evil plus one puts demo version on there (which this is) -- they destroy.

[MotorheadMf]

this is one of his best.this and cold night for alligators

[LatimerKyle]

is he the original creator of this song?

[PhsycadelicRock]

I guess so, this came out in 1981 so.

[hulud99]

Yeah he wrote it.

[Analprostate]

@PhsycadelicRock yeh this is a song he has played for a while, first in blieb alien (band before the aliens, it was his first attempt at doing it solo, ie fronting his name to the band) many good versions of these great songs, but the evil one is far the greatest album in my opinion, disc 2 "the modern Humans show" is fucken hypnotic and something i pretty much listen too every day.

if there is one thing said about rocky. You either dont like him, or you would fucking kill for him. fuken AMEN.

[braincellgenocide]

@Analprostate fuckin word ey

[NightOfTha44]

@Analprostate ... great post and comment, but a small correction if you don't mind, Bleib Alien became Roky Erickson &The Aliens, it's the same band. (wiki: Roky_Erickson#Bleib_Alien_year­s)

[Arjanajanath]

Yes it is.

[postyesterdayman]

@LatimerKyle Yes, he wrote almost all of his recorded songs, except the stuff when he was the singer of the 13th Floor Elevators.

[ClueSign]

@LatimerKyle Yes (hope you didn't wait one year for that answer)

[Sonicora]

@LatimerKyle

yes, he is.

[wakichachi69]

@LatimerKyle yes he is

[Jabberw0cky7]

This man should be considered as a genius insteaded of fucking around in asylums. This song is so perfect !

[Jabberw0cky7]

[AlecNRoll16]

You're right brother ! :D

[hargtholan]

This tune is fucking perfect, class, oh my gOD.

Just what I need. Thanks Kaisa for showing me the way!

[MotorheadMf]

this guy is so freaking cool

[hallucinosis242]

I love that 19th century baby ghost and demon in the attic, well cool, I actually live in an attic!! The other night I saw a giant light orb float across my living room area, awesome!! Don't have the Bloody Hammer, just a Samurai sword, oops....

[halfcabdisaster7]

[riboflavin138]
