ACE FREHLEY (AARDSCHOK AMERICA, MAY 1987)

HAWKWIND (WITH LEMMY ON SONG & BASS) ”THE WATCHER” [LIVE CLIP]

Lemmy: Silver Machine’, was our only hit – and a No. 2 at that! My vocals wound up on the recording, even though Bob sang it at the show. Bob wasn’t on that night and he sounded horrible, so everybody tried overdubbing it later and I was the only one who sang it right. 

That was really my only time singing lead, except for ‘The Watcher’ on Doremi Fasol Latido, ‘Lost Johnny’ on Hall of the Mountain Grill, and ‘Motorhead’, which was a B-side for the single ‘Kings of Speed’ and later appeared on the re-release of Warrior on the Edge of Time. But I did sing a lot of back-ups.


From 'Moog Bass’, the YouTube uploader: I have created this video from available video footage and photos of Hawkwind paired with remastered audio of the Cleveland 1974 gig. I have boosted the bass frequencies to the benefit of the drums and the bass to give the audio a better balance. 

The instrumentation is sparse throughout, this song absolutely relies on Lemmy and Simon King. The rest of the band add beautiful accents but the rhythm section drive this one.

This is to my mind the definitive Hawkwind version of The Watcher. Lemmy nails this performance with excellent bass and vocals. Motörhead made a great attempt at the song on the ‘what’s Words Worth’ release. Interestingly also live at the Roundhouse.

DEMO REVIEWS (THE OATH #2, 1993)


 

MEZZROW AT FRYSHUSET, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (1990)

Mezzrow opening up before Candlemass at the legendary and pro-shot concert on June 9, 1990. 

Story from the event from Mezzrows official Facebook page: We all went to see Slayer on their World Sacrifice Tour in september 1988 at Fryshuset, Stockholm. It was, of course, a blast! (It wasn’t the first time we went there, since many thrashbands had played there during the eighties.) After Slayer had finished their set, I remember thinking that Fryshuset was the perfect place for thrash metal!

On the 9th of June 1990 we supported Candlemass at the very same venue. It was a sick feeling to play where all our favorite bands had played! A big stage with sidefills and a fence in front of the stage. A really huge contrast to the small clubs that we were used to!

Well, it was insane! We soundchecked ten minutes before people entered the hall and when we went on stage, a powerful roar from the packed venue welcomed us. Fantastic! We will always remember that night and we give you some pictures from the gig!
