  • This video also offers definitive proof that the Hermits could & did perform their own music live, as Peter Noone's gestures and mannerisms, lapses in vocals, etc., match what's going on audibly.

    Herman's Hermits were a genuine band that played live and usually in the recording studio, except upon occasions where more seasoned musicians were needed for certain sessions, which was always & still is the case, even with the most legendary artists and bands.

  • Crap group? What the fuck are you smoking?

  • great

  • Reminds me of that newish kid from Canada.

  • I love HH, esp. Peter he was so cute singing, There's a kind of a hush.

  • @Tysto What "party favors" are you referring to? Girls?

  • I think Peter was late because he was sampling some of the party favors back stage....

  • Better cut out on the double!!!!

  • I always thought the upside down Thunderbird bass was to cool looking. I was a teen when they were big, they sold alot of records. Their sound never got adapted to the 70's. Example the Bee Gees later adapted with the Disco era, so that explains why they more or less faded out. Their 67-68 stuff is a little more changing, just not enough. Another example look at the Beatles, Abbey Road album much different then the Early Beatles material. Abbey Road was nodding toward the early 70's styles.

  • Yeah, these guys were the real deal.

  • BTW enter Barry Whitam on You Tube, Barry was the drummer who has his own group now. Listen to his drum solo, that will convince anyone , THESE GUYS COULD PLAY!!!

  • I worked with The Hermits in the early 70s and Lec the guitar player became one of most closest friends. I was with Lec several times when other musicans would come up to him after hearing him telling him he's the best guitar player they ever heard. Listen to the guitar solo in Henry VIII. That was Lec ( not Jimmy Page) playing it. Peter started alot of these rumors after he left the group. The Hermits told me Lec played guitar on every single song. Jimmy Page only helped out on 2 songs.
