Lemmy ... greater than all Kansas put together hahhah
Space Ritual... greater than all Kansas albums put together has anyone from Kansas inspired these words of wisdom.... (ultracool proghead)Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God? (member of the PA's dope smokers genre team) Lemmy? [imitates a game show buzzer] (geek wearing a Rush shirt ) God? Wrong, dickhead, trick question. Lemmy *IS* God. |

Hawkwind is one of my favourite bands(it's certainly due to Gorgeous Miss Stacia videos!).Actually I
enjoy their hippie style,heavy space rock sound and lyrics.Moreover I always feel away in deep space
or time corridors.But let's give credit to Song for America or Proto Kaw's first recordings(awesome)
and I think that Two for the show new rendition will be one of my next buys.

Hey Micky , d'ya know I was lucky to witness the very last Hawkwind gig with Lemmy , twas in Montreal Cegep Maisonneuve (73?-74?) Cant remember exactly but I have read that he was busted the next day and fired by Brock (bad move for Hawkfans but what a new start for Kilminster!) . As I mentioned already, I was unable to listen to anything for 2 days , so deep was the hypnosis. Er r..........and loud.....

I'm all out of weed so I have no way of enjoying Hawkwind. I'll take the musicianship and good songs... It's not really fair anyway, Kansas being one of my very favorite bands. |

I use Hawkwind's first three albums (whom I rate with one star each) as a low water mark for prog. I have heard a lot of prog from the 70's and these albums are the worst I have ever heard. It cannot get any worse than that!! Badly produced, lack of good musicianship, no melodies, very repetitive songs, a lot of unbearable noise. The drums are the worst. I do like Levitation though with Ginger Baker on drums, but I have no respect for early Hawkwind. Very strange comparison though. |

I won't beat you up, but HAWKWIND has been a tribute band of itself for much longer than KANSAS.
Kind regards.

The same here. Both bands' discographies have got ups and downs, and HAWKWIND has been more prolific in quantitative terms, but definitely KANSAS shows more technical proficiency, more musical imagination, a wider array of nuances and feelings, and when they rock, they do it more solidly. The remastered double CD "Two for the Show" allows me to rest my case easily.
Kind regards.

[/QUOTE]Now you really are talking out your backside it shows you know nothing of Hawkwind and how Dave Brock has kept Hawkwind flying all these years , Nick Turner's Space Ritual you could say that about but Hawkwind NO , Brock has always tried to keep the Hawks Moving forward with new music ideas , thats why he has always bought in new members into the band , Hawkwind are not just a Prog or Space rock band they have moved into many different genres of music from Punk'ish years of Calvert through the Dance and Ambient years of the 90s , there last couple albums even had a bit of Drum N Bass mixed in with the usual Space Rock, they have also kept to there ideals playing free gigs and they never have high ticket prises and now also run there own Hawkfest (which was the weekend just gone ) to say they are tribute band of them selfs is just Incorrect but they do also have there own Tribute band called The Technicians Of Spaceship Hawkwind , so stop talking out yer backside and get ya facts right , LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY HAWKS !!!!! |

Hmm how do you join I wonder.
That reminds me of some comedy skit several years ago where they have a game show show called stump the pothead or something like it.
There are three stoners at their consols with buzzers and the Question is (what one question stumps a stoner everytime) "What were we just talking about?"
All three of the stoner contestants don't even move for like thirty seconds. Then one guy hits his buzzer and asks Did I win?"
I'm still sticking with Kanasas

Hawkwind were 'patchy' shall we say, but they need to be judged in the context of the music scene of the time, and what they represented. They were musical terrorists, playing with a punk spirit, years before punk became the phenomenon it did. But they combined this with the psychedelic and fantasy element to forge a sound and style that no one else was doing, to my knowledge. They have made some classic albums, and they have turned out some dross too. It has to be said. But ove the years some excellent musicans have passed through their ranks; notably Simon House, Ginger Baker, Adrian Shaw and of course Huw Lloyd Langton, who is a very original and I think 'underated' guitarist. Liked his voice too. Incidentally, I reccomend Huw Lloyd Langtons solo album, 'Night Air' Not especially progressive, just good memorable songs, and some great melodic lead guitar work. |

For anyone who's not yet seen the BBC documentary of Hawkwind, it's here on Youtibe. Sadly Brock didn't take part, having fallen out with Nik Turner, but it's very interesting and entertaining..
