The Warlocks - Shake the Dope Out

[@jdmaninny]

Good music is hard to find nowadays. This is good music.

[@sisterdiggins]

Great record. Never get sick of this.

[@UlulatingBanshee777]

this is not the velvet underground, but an incredible simulation...... I love this track!

[@Pato100000]

This is an awsome band! Need of their videos on here.

[@IvyMike777]

A Warlocks gig will melt your brain (in a good way).

[@jemen1709]

What a great drive it has, almost like some BJM Songs. Love this tune so much!

[@MANNY11RED]

Saw these guys in the UK a few weeks ago! Still kickin ass!! :)

[@andrewsampson123]

Soooo sick! Love it! Cant get enough of this song

[@TheTerminalExpress]

These guys + The Sisters of Mercy = best show I've ever seen

[@caswells]

I just got The Phoenix Album today, loving it so much and this song, brilliant!

[@rebreder]

Actually, The Warlocks was Grateful Dead's first name, according to Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton in the book "Last Night a DJ saved my life". They played in the first Kool-Aid Acid Test in 1965, in which occasion, changed their name, specially for the event, to The Grateful Dead (after considering Mythical Ethical, Icicle Tricicle and Nonreality Sandwich).

[@SupersonicMark]

another reason they sound so good!!

[@warlockboyburns]

no way this group totally has their own sound as much as velvet underground did

[@ramonespinhead]

they remind me of the velvet underground and i love it ROCK ON!!

[@vetdar]

mixer, J&MC and Syd Barret . excellent..

[@meatwurst]

there's a difference between ripping off and wearing your influences on your sleeves....the Warlocks fuckin rule.

[@romeosdistress]

it was also an early name of VU, another around that time was The Falling Spikes

[@mandragoramoon]

love this song!

[@jeffreyhonea4048]

As well as being a name for early VU this was also a name of the early incarnation of the Grateful dead.

[@millardforever]

Sure, there are similarities between this song and "Sister Ray," but I really don't think they're similar enough to warrant copyright infringement or anything. I've actually never really associated the two. Either way, great vid, thanks for putting it up!

[@bassbird]

@captaininsanity89 yeah, this riff is kind of a whole genre to itself . Many songs by velvet underground, lou reed, spaceman 3, etc. use something very similar

[@GodStarRevisited69]

I like the Original Warlocks( Grateful Dead) and this Warlocks band.. both good bands, very different , with some similar themes.

[@SupersonicMark]

Anton Newcombe is king! brilliant song writer

[@lasloacosta]

nice tribute to the VU's "sister ray" riff. Love this

[@gramoukdoom]

The worst thing about drugs is not having any.

[@TheMuiBui]

yeah

[@neilwhitaker6284]

I'm reading your comment 6 years later, I hope you have found SOME drugs that are better not having :) . Thanks for the laugh though.

[@miekdubb]

...sounds like what awesome would sound like.. ... just like it

[@courtneytdw]

thats the sound of the dandy warhols!!!

[@kidv2]

yep exactly. love both

[@curtisrunstedler]

how so? this is great!

[@caroramone]

i love this song =)

[@11spike7]

People are SO wacky. The VU influence is unmistakable...yet someone says they sound like Neil Young! Anyway, this is a cool song.

[@kyrons2based]

Sometimes i have to shake the dope out lol or leave it alone completely

[@weeflowers8140]

love it

[@JeffFermon]

Not without irony, they had to change their name from the "Warlocks" in 65 or 66 because there was another band by that name. Then Jerry flipped through the dictionary and the rest is Grateful history.

[@equusMenagerie]

gibson and vox instrument users... my kind of band

[@chaiserougetheband]

Warlocks are cool and i've been lucky to meet Bobby in one of his concert in switzerland... He is a cool guy but he was more looking to flirt with gruppies! Unfortunately, no success this night... Come and check our shoegaze music if you have time...

[@leirgauk]

there's actually a norwegian rap groups band named Warlocks.. everybody who reads this message should check them out, they are AMAZINGLY AWSOME!!! u gotta hear "city soldier"!! :D

[@ELPIKE75]

see ya tomorrow evenin in the botanique of Bruxelles............

[@courtneytdw]

the sound is similar... i am big fan of the dandys.. i know many things bout them..

[@jake4435]

there may be a slight, a very very slight chance, that these guys were influenced by TVU

[@tb3776]

+Anton Resident Yes.. came here looking for The Warlocks that were pre-underground... this is not them?

[@comradethoth9629]

+Todd Balazovic Of course not. I don't think anything is recorded by that version of TVU. The earliest we can have is the Primitives (unless you count Lou Reed's singles from the 50s and early 60s).

[@IvyMike777]

To each his/her own. To anyone who says they sound like BJM, well Bobby was IN the BJM so no big shocker there. Yeah it sounds like the Dandy's too - all the same camp. All of these bands heavily influenced by Velvets and Lou Reed, whats wrong with that? You think they don't acknowledge that (Song For Nico)? If you don't like it, feel free not to listen. For my 2 cents - seeing the Warlocks live were 2 of the greatest nights of my life, white noise included....

[@Bukosaure]

I'm discovering this new band.

[@leirgauk]

nei, er man KUL så liker man warlocks. er man noob så misliker man warlocks. warlocks er kanskje norges beste hip hop gruppe, og de fortjener recognition over hele verden. the warlocks er også bra, har sansen for slik musikk

[@Mike1967b]

@jandean61 I understand that not everyone hears the same thing when listening to a song. E, G, D, A... (some variation on that progression)... in the same strum pattern. That is why I hear Boys Better. Only the bridge is different. But I bet you could sing the lyrics over the top.

[@CrashHell]

Plucky Rules!!

[@Elwin4mad]

@ELPIKE75 Where they any good?

[@jimmycogliandro]

for every velvet underground nostalgic heart :)

[@motobanite]

Noooo wrong Warlocks mate!

[@caroramone]

como una mezcla entre velvet underground y los dandy warhols xD me gustó =)

[@jeroenvlerre]

he shakes like neil young wears lou reed sunglasses i like that guy

[@romeosdistress]

hence my use of the world 'also'

[@insanedrummer1111]

Lol my bro is in this band now. This song is much different than eat I've heardthem play live

[@broelo]

@trufiend138 Who doesn't wanna be Lou Reed?

[@BooRadleysGhost]

reminds me of the vlevet underground

[@VonWarwick]

I was under the impression that there were a few members of VU, or maybe just one in the Warlocks

[@MrBrianlowdown]

love the warlocks...this songs a bit new,,,,,,if any of you were real music freaks you would be able to tell the verse is ...sister ray from lou reed

[@vasilikikatsouda986]

yay

[@pelehasmo]

This could be easily on WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT by the Velvet Underground. :D

[@creating90]

Shake, shake, shake the derp out

[@DzedajO]

@jeroenvlerre He really looks like John Kay from Steppenwolf, too :)

[@kidv2]

Aw just like Sister Ray said

[@Diazepamber]

cool af

[@todlu]

VU took there name from a title of a book they`ve found in new apartament they`re to rent.

[@lakai958]

good

[@ziggyflinthawk]

class! love the sluggish groove, very cool. like dark music? check out lucid rivers

[@underpuka]

this band have two drummers???

[@Pato100000]

Shake the doop out?!

[@EarlofSuave308]

@nathan120000 YES!

[@Saltedcoil]

@thebigfatyoyo THEM THREE CHORD SONGS!

[@LazyLinePainterE]

Sister Ray

[@SchokoKekseFTW]

impossible not to hear the VU´s influence on this one... also the backing vocals remind me of the warhols as well as the bjm

[@BBACRU]

I thought that Lou Reed was in a band called the warlocks before velvet underground, this is of course not it,

[@morpDprime]

this represents everything that's wrong with music today.

[@Mike1967b]

boys better by the Dandy Warhols is what I hear...

[@GSSIMON1]

dead head is born ! Tom Wait

[@Francois.de.Benedetti]

[@Lucasisdemon]

Yeah, very Sister Rayish. Its cool though. They're a good band. There arent many like them nowadays.

[@BohemianAndy]

Sounds very much like Sister Ray of the Velvet Underground and Boys Better by The Dandy Warhols

[@Tulleth100]

@Agentorange88 Why even compare? Just appreciate both bands and keep music evil.

[@TheFate23]

sister ray

[@gramoukdoom]

why compare?

[@AnthonyFletcher]

Pretty ballsy move to take that name. Good tunes, though.

[@willonz]

SISTER RAY :D

[@hamfranky]

This hardly represents the mainstream rock music today..

[@Harrykeyster]

Wasn't Billy Joel supposed to be in this band?

[@BooRadleysGhost]

sounds like the velvet underground

[@triflind]

Seeds much ??

[@sychosnake]

this reminds me of neil young more than vu.

[@Gabagool]

This is not the worst song. The Phoenix Album probably has the least accessible tracklist. Oh Shadie has NOTHING on Jam of the Witches.

[@vdeferens]

@kalebgranthunter88 I wish I could.

[@lefrauens]

Not quite a BJM live yet, and certainly not as great live as BRMC; but much more entertaining live than this video that seems more like the Dandy's than anything. Alot of jumping around though. Keep jumping around, and learn some more chords! Good band!

[@ralphfilm]

brian jonestown massacre.

[@leirgauk]

rofl

[@rustyskatez]

@BBACRU no the warlocks were the grateful dead before the dead. but ya lou wouldve fit in haha

[@captaininsanity89]

um if ne of you knew ne thing about music you would know that it is inevitable that one group will use a riff from another band or a tempo from anothert band.... so on and so on in blues they do it all the time there are only so many combinations of music can be made before they are repeated

[@bigbadbboy126]

wrong, that's the sound of the BJM, do some research, I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.

[@Crbsee]

its all the same! and they all have sun glasses!

[@Jayhawks6]

this song is such a rip off of The Velvet Underground's song, "Sister Ray". However, this is still good. These guys remind me of a drone version of the dandy's.

[@BobMcCob]

Wow I find this not too derivative. Same genre at best.

[@morpDprime]

Wow self righteous much? Please explain to me why this band is original and not a poor rehash of music that was being made 40 years ago.

[@hobbitiaris]

Warlocks are cool but this is way too similar to sister ray
