Hawkwind - Who's Gonna Win The War? (Promo)

From the genius album that is... 'Levitation'
This one goes out to TheFacelessWarrior

[@railinly610]

Despite Ginger not gelling too well with the band and leaving after this outing, an amazing album was born, unlike any other Hawkwind album or sound. Ginger's drumming was nuts, brilliant.

[@ZalMoxis]

Baker was a real money grub... he even tried to steat the name away from Brock and toured Italy as Hawkwind.... a real turd in my books.... He told Harvey Bainbridge he sucked as a bass player and while he's no Jack Bruce he holds his own perfectly well... I reckon I would of knocked the prick out if he'd have come at me....

[@danielgreen3715]

Love this track have done for 40 yrs nearly

[@ZalMoxis]

Fantastic album.... fantastic memories.... Huw's guitar playing is just great👍

[@janjic]

Dave Brock on lead vocals, Huw on lead guitar - just the way it should be. RIP Huw :-(

[@wellingtonendowed7714]

Relevant to 2020 more than ever.

[@Tharg]

That album came out when I was 17. Loved it. Totally underrated album.

[@Tharg]

Love this album so much. Killer playing by the whole band. Huw is an underrated guitarist. His solos & tone on this album are amazing.

[@swinetrek]

They shouldn't have deleted Simon Kings drumming. Far better for that Hawkwind sound than Baker.

[@shanemolloy7862]

I'm so happy that I got to praise Huws distinctive playing and recognisable tone in person. Such a lovely and humble chap. Marion is a lovely lady too. Dust of time caught in your eye!!! ❤❤❤❤

R.I.P. Ginger Baker.

[@davidscott3820]

[@markoVTX]

Forgotten just what a great track this is..

[@eugeniocandidofilho9077]

Esse é um m dos melhores álbuns do Hankwind

[@Quelqueshue]

I always loved this one right from the time I used to hear it eminating from me brothers room as a kid...

[@bap_fanw.1378]

Who's gonna win the war

[@Dirkchucklebutty]

Silver Machine was a hit record, got to number 3 in the charts in 1972.

[@neiluddin2893]

Uddie &jam from Manchester the 20 16 gig was amazing was tripping our box off & hold in the side up

[@mrmott44]

Some of Ginger Baker's best drumming was with Hawkwind

[@mrmott44]

@boris boris his jazz stuff with frizell was fantastic. And some of the African stuff

[@uncleambient]

Brilliant stuff, thanks for uploading this rare clip :)

[@jimmyahrman4747]

love them since middle of the 80s.

[@robvanwoudenberg8290]

When listening to this album i usually listen to the entire album

[@HawkwindJimski]

Excellent post - never seen it before!

[@TartanBear]

@Tharg Totally agree, love this album.

[@junglie]

Saw him with them at stonehenge, thought i was hallucinating till dave introduced him....lol.

[@TheOmanJam]

It's wonderful to see Huw's nimble fingers on the Les Paul guitar for this wonderful piece and also Harvey who likes a bit like a cross between Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, I think.

[@brubeck1]

i dont think this is live though ,sounds staight off the album.

[@rp61productions]

I NEVER even suggested Ginger was to blame for all of the Hawkwind line-up changes. I mean, how could that even be? And of course it's Dave Brock who has the main say, the reason for that is obvious. No, I was just stating that it's well known Ginger had a bad attitude over various things while he was on board the mothership. It's a shame really, cause he sounded great while he was there...

[@hallo96640]

I love it. good that no bieber fan infected this with a thum down ;D

[@ita230764]

HLL say no more

[@safeashouses211]

It was Nik Turner's idea to fire Lemmy and they voted on it, 6 - 2. Alan Davey wasn't fired.

[@Studio-62]

Not sure if it’s Tim Blake in the videos. He was on the album but left shortly before the tour I believe.

[@rp61productions]

Yeh Tim's there to the left of Huw on keyboards in a red top..

[@55SqueakPip]

ARP Explorer for a synth!

[@7byseven]

I understand why they shorten the guitar solo but it still hurts lol

[@woodpeckerdrums6254]

ginger on drums

[@rp61productions]

Yeah I did the same thing to the 'Levitation' promo too, when I get the chance I'll put it up. Didn't know that about the stereo thing, but when I tried it I'm not getting the stereo playback. What am I doing wrong?

[@Maerklin56]

top

[@rp61productions]

@mrmott44 Heh! Pity He had a bad attitude while he was them though. His demands and requests were enough for him to be sacked within the year. Martin Griffin was the best drummer Hawkwind ever had, followed by Simon King.

[@rp61productions]

@wandererlain Not sure really. Who's gonna win the war? Maybe it's his death look XD

[@Shitsthebed]

Anyone know what type of kit Ginger is using here.

[@marlboromanofficial]

Ludwig Vistalite

[@gordthelord12]

anyone else think this sounds a bit like floyd

[@jerryhellstrom30]

Floyd sounds like this....

[@kurtisthall65]

Repeated LSD use WILL make you paradoid. Ant the fact that the band never had any hit records will cause a heavy toll.

[@chocky123]

dont like this song my least favourite after silver machine and needle gun

[@thearmchairspacemanOG]

Huw, Harv and Ginger... them three shoulda made their own band. .. ''the ginger nutz'' .. lol.
