for all the americans who didn't get this cutting humor from a prince of wit, "Singer Corporation is an American manufacturer of consumer sewing machines, first established as I. M. Singer & Co. in 1851 by Isaac M. Singer with New York lawyer Edward C. Clark. Best known for its sewing machines, it was renamed Singer Manufacturing Company in 1865, then the Singer Company in 1963. It is based in La Vergne, Tennessee, near Nashville. Its first large factory for mass production was built in 1863 in Elizabeth, New Jersey.[1]"
I was at this concert in Dunstable where I grew up...can be seen boogying about 13 seconds in..I'm 65 now and live in Amsterdam I still love this track..rock never dies!!
And I thought it was the Windsor Free People's Festival! I keep looking for me in the crowd. I guess I was wrong. Stacia chucked loads of aceeed into the crowd there. Trippy days!
Simon King has to be one of the progenitors of punk drumming, at least in the UK punk scene. He is definitely one of their pillars. A god of pre-punk drumming among mortals.
What are you talking about , this isn’t good to me , sounds terrible in my opinion , but it’s cool to go back and look at a piece of history but this ain’t great by any stretch of the imagination
Born in 1960, 12 year's old when this was wailing out at the sideshows, could hear this song miles away thats how loud this iconic song was being played at, and listening to this in 2024 64 year's old and takes me right back.
It was my father who introduced me to this track. He wasn't a freak, he was a railway signalman, he never did acid or mushrooms, unlike me, but he introduced me to Syd Barratt and the early Floyd albums too. He was cool my dad.
@@AP-sd1fl She's way more than "sexy". "Sexy" is for stuff like Ariana Grande. Stacia isn't merely "sexy", she is Cosmic, she is Lover, she is Mother, she is Gaea, the first deity man ever prayed to, and for the longest time. You wouldn't understand.
I hope some of the Hawkwinders may agree that Hawkwind were a product of their time and not ahead. If you can get ahead of time you need to be some where in excess of light speed and at that speed matter does not exist. Not to mention Hawkwind.
Talk about a "hippie geek" band. I'm a lover of anime and sci fi while tripping on weed and psychedelics either with music like Hawkwind or at the same time with anime and sci fi. Hawkwind speaks to me on all those levels!
I knew Hawkwind n Lemmy was a special mate we used to go out buzzing on speed, we even got arrested together, his bullet belt was confiscated until it was checked to see if the bullets were live.he got it back after a couple of months. R.I.P. Lemmy.X
@@thomasfarrell5396 It was Gillan's sound tech, first. Ian repeated it because he thought it was funny, but you can hear the roadie say it in the background on Made in Japan.
Stacia ist super spitzenmäßig toll! Als das Video rauskam war ich 12! Jetzt sehe ich es mir an und finde es immer noch wahnsinnig toll, auch und gerade wegen stacia!
"Silver Machine” is an unearthly onslaught of overdriven guitars, oscillating synths and blistering bass, which sounded to a 7 year-old me like a distress message from a distant universe. This evocative promo was shot at Dunstable Civic Hall I believe.
Ah, takes me back, great times. Hawkwind were the first real band I ever saw live. 1973 at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. I was a 15 yr old schoolkid. This would have been around the time the Space Ritual album was released. I remember being totally confused when they did Sonic Attack... I thought it was a for real panic alert... Lol. Also, I just couldn't take my eyes off Stacia!!!!! Used to play Hawkwind at full volume up in my room. Drove my poor old parents round the bend. They just didn't get it. Lol
@@strictlynorton Gong were great too, bit more whimsical than Hawkwind but fantastic music. Still have my vinyl copy of Radio Gnome Invisible: the Flying Teapot.
@67psych3 fun fact hers and my sisters birthday is 2 days after Lemmy’s so that means she’s Capricorn as well I kinda want to be that too but I was born on dec 7th which makes me a Sagittarius
I was blessed to see Hawkwind in Memphis in the 70’s. Always been a Yes, ELP, Tull, Moody Blues fan among many others. Then there’s Hawkwind, Kraftwerk, Genesis. Of all these amazing groups Hawkwind live just blew the crap out of me and my friends brains out.
I saw Hawkwind in 79 or 80, I was only 15 or so at the time, one of the best gigs I ever went to. The music alone made me feel like I was high. We did a cover of this in my first band around this time too. Great times.
OMG! 16 years old and first holiday away without the parents. Youth hosteling in Cornwall. Hitch hiking, boozing, kissing boys ... what happy memories x
The power of the guitar and drums kicking back in at 2:32 a barre chord, snare drum and a cooking Marshall you can almost hear the preamp tubes react as the down stroke hits right on the snare and the riff kicks off. The interplay between rhythm guitar, bass and drums is so cool!
As a young teen I can remember learning guitar and like everybody I wanted to go up the neck and play lead. Very early on a seasoned playing said to me that you never totally hear rhythm guitar in the mix. His words were you only hear it when it stops playing that was a valuable lesson for me! He showed me the barre chords and I was off and running! I see rhythm guitar as the canvas for the lead guitar to paint the picture,I'm biased as I'm a rhythm player!!!!
If you read Lemmys autobiography, Bob Calvert sang this live when it was recorded live, but they dubbed Lemmys vocals in post production as Calvert was too stoned. A great book to read.
Record company exec's thought it was a hit single in the making but Calverts voice wasn't commercial enough so they eventually replaced the live vocal track with Lemmy singing in the studio. Everything else is live.
I remember seeing this video on 'Top of the Pops' in August 1972 and being totally blown away by it. Like nothing I had ever seen before; the power, the bubbles, the girl (Stacia I think her name was). I was about 10 at the time.
I saw them twice around this time, at the Corn Exchange, Cambridge. At the first gig Stacia was dancing on stage just in her knickers. That made quite an impression on this 15 year old.
So popular was this song that they played it at dance halls and even at disco clubs in the 70's. The dance floors were heaving with a right old mix of rockers and boppers....looking back that was amazing!
Saw them live in Bournemouth (can't remember the venue) in 1972. As a hormonal 16 year old, I went for a. Silver Machine and b. Stacia (she kept her clothes on that night!).
If it was Boscome Ballroom I was there too😂😂😂😂 they arrived late cos they had their equipment nicked or summat or bust....was so spaced out myself so🤪🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
Imagine going back to the 70s hearing this is brilliant groundbreaking amazing RIP Lemmy what a man in the UK at around this time which was 1972/73/74 we had power cuts, strikes, and Ted Heath was PM imagine sitting in your parents car on a hot summer's Sunday afternoon waiting for the top twenty to come on and bang on comes Silver machine by Hawkwind and there you have it our parents didn't have a lot of money but we were spoilt with good music.
I was fifteen when I heard this on release and it changed my perspective on what music is. Gone was the boy who liked pop music to be replaced by the older boy who loves headbanging and substances.
My favorite Hawkwind song, with the great late Lemmy on vocals. Even the live video sounds psychedelic without effects; you can even recognize the then-future Motörhead sound.
I grew up in a small moorland village called Altarnun in Cornwall and this band played at our village dance hall back in the early 70's , uz Cornish boyz ad nevr Sid ort like um 😳
@@ImSaracen hi Bill , I didn’t head that way back in the day so never knew the place . Reckon most of the old places we went to back then are gone now 🥲
I bought this as a single when it first came out away back in the early 70's. I still have a Time machine. It"s called huge amounts of vodka and copious loads of tobacco. YOU CAN GET THERE IF YOU WANT. But don"t hate us because we ate different..Peace and Love....Weird Bill from Svotlanf.CXX
I can remember my brother playing this when he bought it in the early 70's. I was about 6 or 7 years old and I was hooked. And around the same time he played Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon and I am still hooked on these bands.
Not their first choice for vocal on this song but thankfully common sense prevailed. A glorious song from an amazing band. Space Ritual is a fantastic record of how mighty they were. Hawkwind always had and have something to offer.
