spidersandsnakes Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sounds about right to me, although Calvert era HW are pretty ace in my books. I like all the HW members and that means Robert Calvert too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Of course there would be NO Hawkwind AND NO Motorhead without good 'ol Lemmy Kilminster :) I disagree on the Hawkwind part. Do tell, who would have played bass so majesticaly and given HW that turbo sound if not Lemmy??!!:):) Lemmy was certainly great in Hawkwind, but his time as bass player is less than 10% of the band's history. They were already a great band before he joined and continued to be a great band after he was fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leddy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The first award Hawkwind ever won after 41 years. Thats a long time to be overlooked, but they certainly have influenced a good few people..........."Hurry on sundown see what tomoorow brings" " " This is a quote from you tube. " I agree with Lemmy - the only reason that Pink Floyd got so big live was that they had bigger and better PA systems than Hawkwind, otherwise there was no contest in the psychedelic/space rock world".

You can always rely on Lemmy for a good quote ! "I mean, we weren't the fuckin' Pink Floyd, man. We weren't, you know...cute [laughs] we were like a fuckin' black nightmare ! We used to lock the doors so the people couldn't get out ! [laughs like Sid James]" "It was like Star Trek with long hair...and drugs, you know..." “That was a great time, the summer of '71 - I can't remember it, but I'll never forget it !” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ady Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Nice Hawkwind influenced band. I like that. Space Ritual, a band made up of ex-Hawkwind members who formed in 2000. Here they are live performing Children of the Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beetleron Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 yeh it's funny that someone like myself , who is quite familiar with rock and roll, and even freaky rock n roll like frank zappa.......would be so totally unfamiliar with a band of this era. you and i would seem to be of about the same generation.....suppose i always went for the guitar god type bands.......and maybe hawkwind is a bit progressive.......which i would have shunned........dunno.........certainly had my fair share of bowie and the likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwind are in a genre of one though. Always the rebels, Playing a free gig outside of the Isle Of White Festival fence when Hendrix played there in 1970. But bands have passed me by.
