Dave Brock needs to get more recognition, he’s like fuckin’ 80 something years old and is still fronting the band, it’s up to him who plays what, been there since the beginning, totally underrated guitarist

been a fan 50 years seen them 13 times a life well lived x

I’ve been a Hawkwind fan for 42 years, even when I was a full on punk rocker!

Brock is the man....... Hawkwind were the first band I discovered.... still listening to them 30 years later....

This is such a fine interview. Over many years, I can count on one hand interviews this swell and enjoyable! The interviewer gets 5 stars for letting Dave speak and asking excellent questions that helped keep the flow going! Superb! THANKS SO VERY MUCH for posting this gem.

Dave is such an unassuming guy, and a rock pioneer.

I read the Elrich books.... have been listening to Hawkwind since the '70's.... Enjoyed the interview, thanks 🙏

The true heart of Hawkwind, great musician great fella.

Thanx for uploading this Video. never saw it before. good Interview, I love everything about Hawkwind Band Members Past and Present .

Cool. X Hawkwind. An Amazing Musical Experience !! Great Inspiration. Unforgettably Brilliant. X The Olde Early Days. Wow. Still Listening. 2021. Justice & Peace. Capt David Brock. RIP Lemmy Robert Calvert & All Numerous Musicians passed by. Warriors on the Edge. Stay Safe. Keep Strong. Loretta Bibby (Maghull) Liverpool. England.

What a great interview with a brilliant man. Going to see them tonjght, 40 years on from the first time I saw them, after countless times. Wonderful band and spirits of my age. Thanks Dave, for all those times.

Disappointed he didn't mention meeting John Lewis who became Jona Lewie later on. I was Jona's girlfriend at the time, we had been busking in the Leicester Square area and had ended up in a pub by the square. There was a piano and Jona gravitated towards it and played a mean boogie-woogie on it. Then this busker asked if he could join in and a jam session took place. They got on so well they decided to do some gigs together. A while later they stopped gigging because the other guy said that he was putting a band together and couldn't gig any more. That band was Hawkwind ... and he was Dave Brock.

Life is to short to hold grudges and sadly there are not many years left to celebrate what you all created. I hope you all make your peace before it is too late do do so.

Odd how memories differ... And having known Nik, I have to say he was the most humble and modest bloke I've met...

Saw Hawkwind last night in Glasgow...still awesome after all these years. Thanks for upload.

I remember going to Bob Kerrs music shop,just down the end of our street where we lived in Putney. I was born in `64,I wonder how my mum managed when he went off to Amsterdam in `65... I remember him busking and my mum going around with the hat. Its a huge pity how things ended up as they had a great history.

Plenty of views ....glad to please all those hawkfans out there....going to the Space Ritual gig at Shepherds Bush tomorrow night 22 Feb......

Excellent interview with the Captain Brock! He is the one, wonderful!

Hawkwind at Stonehenge 1984 blew me away.

I really enjoyed watching that, thanks!

Hawkwind were my first ever show/gig. Atomhenge tour in '76. Personally, I really love Amazing Sounds. It was a departure but still a good album.

"100 albums plus and 30 + personnel changes".. Dave's the Mark E. Smith of space rock & roll

Thank you Dave for some fantastic music. So many memories of my youth soundtracked by Hawkwind. One of my best is speeding down to the Lake District on a back road in a beat up old Lada, stoned, with Lord of Light blasting away.

I almost crashed into Dave when he was leaving a benefit gig for paraplegics at Gillies in Manchester (1994). I'd taken my daughter for her 18th birthday (on my XJ900) and we were leaving the venue. I used to park my bike outside the main entrance as the bouncers used to look after the bikes. I was dismounting the pavement when Dave's taxi pulled out and I ended up leaning against the taxi window looking directly into Dave's face. Saw most off Hawkwind's concerts from Space Ritual to that gig. in '94

Powis square carnival concert - with Lemmy for the first time.. All nighter in Piccadilly. Free concerts under the flyover on a Saturday afternoons. Thanks Dave - fun days!

great interview-thanks

Love brock.love turner.love lemmy. Love dik Mik. Love del dettmar.love huw lloyd langton.love simon house.love terry ollis. Love stacia.....thems the names I remember through an on off love of hawkwind for 45 years ..But there was one true genius. RIP Robert Calvert.

I was shocked to see years ago that nobody had done any covers of Hawkwind on youtube, it felt like I was the only fan so I decided to do a few covers to salute them.

Great interview. Very insightfull. :-)

Only 49 minutes, I didn't even notice the time, i wanted it to continue.. absolutely fascinating interview with one of the most talented songwriters the UK has ever experienced, and Dave Brock is a top bloke, i think I could have listened for hours... he had all those intact memories, I swear it's like a history education, I would have wanted as my Uni Thesis.

Dave Brock get's so much shit but I don't get it. Hawkwind is his baby and he's loved and nurtured it. I've met him a few times and he was always a sweetheart.

Reading 1975, still the best show I've seen. changed my life. ...

There are so many unpleasant people in the music business, but there are some absolute Diamonds and Dave Brock is one of those Diamonds. Meet him twice back in the day and was a lovely bloke.

1970 IOW I was there had a macrobiotic time lol I am just so amazed this was shot in 2002 classic history lesson. Thanks Dave .... earth n Birth Ritual should be created again it could be the right time....

I was at the SF show in 77, I had no idea they were in a slump then.

Dave became a legend in his own right,....he deserves credit for keeping Hawkwind interesting to well into the 90's His post 2000 work is highly questionable though.. Seems Dave was present in Amsterdam during the "Provos" with their "White Bicycles".... Amsterdam was almost a kind of "free state" around that time.....Police wasn't that "brutal" though or else such a scene would never have been allowed. It's a miracle how sane he remained .The guy sure had (has) a thrills packed life....wonder when is biography is coming out.

what a great interview!! dave brock is a historical world treasure!

good interview enjoyed that

Shocked that he didn't like Astounding Sounds Amazing Music - It is such a different album but I love it.

Absolutely brilliant, seen them many times

And Simon King - such a drummer!

Wicked interview first time iv seen it you smashed it mate.lov your music Dave keep it goin lad😎

Great video of Captain Brock...

Wow!!! He sure looks young for someone being born in 1941 even in the year 2002. I would have thought he was 8 to 10 years younger than that .... Back around 2000, I knew people 20 years younger than him who looked older than that .... Amazing how we all age differently ...... He seems like a cool down to earth hippie

What an interesting interview.

Back In The Box,Treadmill, superb tracks.

Good honest stuff. Top Man Dave Brock.

Great Interview

Excellent. Dave is responsible for many epic songs.

Great interview, Dave's a sound bloke. Hawkwind are still superb. I read Dave wanted Lemmy back in the band(possibly was for a small time).

Despite being a full on punk rocker I always loved Hawkwind at the same time, in the early 80's it wasnt 'cool' but sod 'em if they didnt know a great band when they saw one.

dave's the man!

From Keith Jones session drummer North Devon now retired to Bude. Enjoyed playing drums on one of Mr. Brocks singles we did back in l983 (where has all the time gone!!1). Like the latest Road to Utopia record, great sound and enjoyed the Mike Batt input. Take Care. God Bless (K.J.).

What a great guy.

Levitation..best space rock album ever...

Just been reading what people have said about Dave Brock. First thing he started Hawkwind in the 60s hes the only person who has stayed in the band and has tryed to run it as a bissness. Hes not rich as he has always put others first ie fans before family how many people would tour for 40+ years. If you look at most rock bands you will see the same sort of thing ie kiss black Sabbath so on so. No one has said shit this is one of the only real space rock bands going they should be like led zeppelin in the eyes of the public media maybe this will happen soon as my father is in his 70s. Hope this was to the point I get on with Nik turner but he did cause shit.

'Everything's shit..........except Hawkwind'. Johnny Rotten, '76.

Beautiful guy man.

These Guys are in the Top 5 Bands I'll n to he World

top man, and never wanted fortune to play in a random place for the few.

Listened for 40 years always enjoyed them. Dave Brock is a lovely guy....very grounded.

Just watched. Never seen Dave Brock in an interview before. Lots of great information about the band, very honest. Always loved his singing, song-writing & playing. He comes across as a great down to earth man in this interview. A really great guy. Allowed a controlled madness, but at the same time sensible enough to keep himself & the band together. Great that he mentions Pink Floyd. Gave very sensible sound advice on drug taking. Thanks for this great interview. Only saw them once, 2nd time was too out of it, but first time in late 90's were great. Hope to see Hawkwind again.

1970 was when I first saw Hawkwind in Eastbourne East Sussex ,later saw them at a few free festivals also in & around east sussex !

2022 is Dave a Vampyre - 2ooo years old

The Lazer Show gigs were awesome.

Love early/mid 90s Hawkwind.

nice blackbird singing. interesting interview to. formative years

The fallout with Nick turner reminds me of a plankton Mr crabs kind of thing. Give me the hawkwind copright Mr Brock.

Nice slippers Dave lol good interview.

Lindsay, i still have your copy of Halls of the Mountain Grill, I borrowed in '74, do you want it back?

Dave Brock seems like such a humble dude, these guys could have been much bigger, I wish they would have been, Brock seems content though. I wish that Calvert and Lemmy had contributed more. I wish I could play guitar like this guy and/or Steve Hackett

My biggest regret in my life is that I never got to see them live. First Hawk album bought was Hall of the Mountain Grill, then went backwards to get the back catalogue and forward to Warrior etc. Kind of lost then urge after Warrior, but still bought the albums! Damn those formative years!! In late 50's now and starting to get into later stuff, Chronicles, Xenon and actually think Blood of the Earth is trippy - the instrumentals are total trips under the influence! Space Ritual is the best album I have ever heard. Great interview, and good backup to the written history. Would you believe the only guy ever to agree with me is the guy my wife hooked up with after I left! Poor lady - possibly the only woman to marry two Hawk freaks without ever realising it!!

Sorry for the advert: if you like vintage Hawkwind, you may like this: brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/album/trip-hazard The album is fully previewable on Bandcamp as has been described as "Hawkwind meet Tangerine Dream in a lift". 

In Search of Space not mentioned…their finest album. Anyone know why?

Thank nature for the politicians to needlessly suffer for the wisdom of the likes that man. Assault and Battery of the human anatomy . Say no more. Thank's Dave and downloader Simon. Thankyou !. :).

What about the story of the Hawkwind vs the bad vibe squads, the was told on the cover of the doreme faso latido album? Was that Moorecocks writing?

Hawkwind and Rush did a tour together back in the day. Chiraq love's both forever

saw em at hammesmith odeon 1980 levitation tour,

❤

Dave Brock 76 years today, Aug. 20 2017...

The problem was with Nik turner using Hawkwind as his bands name when he had not been in them for years sort of fraud ripping people off in the U.S.A.

Great interview. The interviewer is excellent, knowledgeable and never leaves an awkward gap, who is it?

At least you don't hear "You know" as many times as Mark e. Smith at an interview.

The interview was going really well....then when the interviewer got to some of the most interesting of all Hawkwind times...namely the 3 main Bob Calvert driven albums Quark, PXR5 & 25 Years On , he skipped right over that period, then also managed to skip over most of the period from after Levitation to 'Stonehenge 84' too.....Totally baffled why no questions were asked of Dave during those important times.......Those were some of the most amazing albums ever.......The interviewer totally missed the boat.

Yeah He comes cross really nice Always been huge Hawkwind fan I have a request : could someone tell me how would/could the word "hawkwind" be translated in French? Well a hawk is a bird of prey and the wind, well ( actually we say un " vent " ( wind ) for a fart as well ha ha! But is " hawkwind" a word they made up or is it an already existing expression? And if so then what would be the French approximation? Thanks!

Yes their is a Link between Hawkwind and Trance Tecko

I want to hear more ........

Hawkwind needs a bass player, here's Lemme; needs a drummer, here's Ginger. Doing something right.

23:42 shocked me to here him say this 22 years before Gaza. Nothing really has changed...

Want Dave's tee shirt!

Wow 88 and everything was on Tape

chuffed only uploaded this 3/4 hours ago and 25 views....good ole Hawknerds....

This would make a good game...try and guess the number of times the interviewer says either "Right" or "Yeah"... i lost count at about 50

genius is Dave brock listening to the machine stops today funny how the album is about social isolation very earee with whats going on atm,i would like to know whos idea is it behind the hawkwind album the machine stops ?

Had never heard of Hawkwind ,but if they are as good as Pink Floyd then 👍🙋❤️🍀🎄💕👌

LoL..., It's not the drug..., it's the amount 😎💯

...hawkwind is a good band to search for obscure stuff about.. ..alot of things other collectors never heard of.. ..I think even the band members themselves don't know what's out there?

Is that fleece lined zip up boots he's wearing?

'You build things up and then you have to tear them down again y'know'? Is'nt that just Dave Brock? I loved these guys, they were a ledgend, but I wish they'd just lose all this emnity and negativity and do their thing, do what they've always done so well. I miss them, its a shame. I s'pose people are getting older, its all OK I hope. Love love love.

I Only wish that the real Hawkwind fans - would be honest about the current Hawkwind instead of suckling at each others teats & god forbid you mention Captain Turner - from a disenchanted Hawkwind fan of 30 years
