HW: to the BRIXTON CREW 21/10

[Filip Vanhuyse]

You made a good point,Mel,you can put it in better words than me as
I'm a non english speaking person and make mistakes trying to put down in
words what I mean,but Hughie was really messing around.What the hell
he did with "Angels Of Death"? He played ordinary blues scemes any beginner
can.

I also had the same feeling prior to the gig about everybody being in too
much hopes.
If we all have to be real honest in our hearts we actual all wanted "Space
Ritual".
This doesn't mean I don't like other Hawk-stuff (I think they made better
stuff later)
but Lemmy,DikMik & Del Dettmar being there,that's what we wanted.
don't know,just ramblin'.

greetings
filip hawknut
