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]"
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.
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
@@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 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.
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 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.
@@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.
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.
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
Well, get off your lazy butt and familiarize yourself with the great young bands that are out here now. Then, contact your local radio station, Clearwater, etc, and tell them to start playing this music. Complaining about it isn't going to change anything.
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.
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!!!!
What I would've given to have seen that show...I think Arthur Brown has the greatest and most unique voice in rock music, and he can still belt it out and hit those banshee high notes !!!
@@beckiebuist803 He was the star of the show. There were a lot of bands on the bill. Started at 8.00pm and finished 8.00am the next morning. Jab Jab, Joberg Hawk, Peter Frampton, others I can't remember. Mr Brown had a band called Kingdom Come at the time. Very psychedelic. I think they were the first band to use a drum machine on stage. Also a synthesiser which projected a beam of light upward. Cut the beam with your hand to produce a sound. It may have been called a Thermatron. Never seen anything like it
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.
OMG! 16 years old and first holiday away without the parents. Youth hosteling in Cornwall. Hitch hiking, boozing, kissing boys ... what happy memories x
"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.
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.
@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 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.
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!
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!
The best band ever for Johny Rotten....i'm okay with that...saw them in1975...incredible concert always in my mind....!!With moorcock elric the science fiction writer on vocals...dressed in black leather...!! Nude girls, psykadelik light...smoke and torch of fire, and the group looked like a band of lunatic and violent at the same level...!!! Crasy crasy concert ....it doesn't exist now these kind of concert!!!!
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.
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🤪🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
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 am 69 years old and remember this song with fondness power chords wayyyyyyyy before the Quo, who are another fave of mine, I play this song all the time with my guitar at home, love the riff. Lem sang clean back in those days, but later got his Motorhead growl.
Remember just about the time I became a teenager this video was shown on top of the pops. My caring parents decided it was a good idea to speak to me about drugs, sex , drugs , some more drugs, rock n roll and add in a bit more about drugs. Gotta admit it worked for another five year. They never mentioned drink though.
Absolutely no drugs were harmed during the making of this video

You can't beat the good old tunes
Stacia was a total babe !
First of all Stacia Blake is a fine artist.
Chubby and not fit in any way,….drughead, hippie, 🤮
@@gertschmitz5876👍 Agreed!'
I'm 21 years old and I totally agree
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!
The best band ever for Johny Rotten....i'm okay with that...saw them in1975...incredible concert always in my mind....!!With moorcock elric the science fiction writer on vocals...dressed in black leather...!! Nude girls, psykadelik light...smoke and torch of fire, and the group looked like a band of lunatic and violent at the same level...!!! Crasy crasy concert ....it doesn't exist now these kind of concert!!!!
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.
Hawkwind & Space Ritual: Best albums of Hawkwind.
R.I.P Lemmy
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🤪🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
Amazing! R.I.P. Lemmy.
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 am 69 years old and remember this song with fondness power chords wayyyyyyyy before the Quo, who are another fave of mine, I play this song all the time with my guitar at home, love the riff. Lem sang clean back in those days, but later got his Motorhead growl.
Set my hairs standing on end when I first heard this on the car radio when very young, still has the same effect now. An absolute classic.
Lemmy was a hot mess. RIP my hero Ian Lemmy Kilmister. I forever miss you you bastard ❤️❤️❤️♠️♠️♠️
Lemmy has a lovely voice.
LEMMY ALWAYS PUTS ME IN A GOOD MOOD!
Probably the best song of the 70's, brings back such halcyonic memories, cheers Hawkwind.
Smoke thicker than water and a wonderful time❤
Remember just about the time I became a teenager this video was shown on top of the pops. My caring parents decided it was a good idea to speak to me about drugs, sex , drugs , some more drugs, rock n roll and add in a bit more about drugs. Gotta admit it worked for another five year. They never mentioned drink though.
