- I am no stranger to the label that often gets thrown at certain bands of being a "gimmick" or a "joke band". Unfortunately for this band, the gimmick was not being a man playing rock music. How strange when you really think about it. Let's have a look at one of their songs and actually discuss whether or not this band was deserving of more success and whether or not they were just a gimmick.

What was going on with the 80 second long live last night Justin? 😏
@@NinStardust I accidentally broadcasted it to everyone on CZcams, instead of the 100 patrons I usually do the broadcast and live chat with. It's on every Sunday at 9pm GMT.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain Thought that might have been the case. Spent half the evening laughing at you for being a silly goose! Thanks for the giggle. BTW the comments in the chat after you vanished were 🔥🔥🔥 😂🥰😁
HelpI’m having loads of problems with my Patreon account. I just joined last week, but when I pull up the website, oh well.
I’m not sure what to do

@@lisastubbs3953 I have downloaded the app on my phone, maybe this helps.
Fanny performed tonight in San Francisco. June Millington, Jean Millington and Brie Howard-Darling (who recorded the Fanny Walked The Earth album in 2018) along with Lee John (Jean’s son and June’s nephew) playing bass. Jean suffered a stroke in 2018 rendering her unable to play bass. Still, Jean can sing and am delighted she is playing tonight.
I am jealous...these women all deserve to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...
Fanny are back 🙌
Great film about them was shown at Sundance last year.
They still rock.
A 66 yo "confirmed bachelor" here. I've loved this band since the first time I heard them. Amazing vocals, killer guitar, organ, and the DRUMMER! The interviews with June and Alis are wonderful. Sorry...I just think they are the most overlooked band ever.
Fanny are so damn good, their cover of The Beatles classic 'Hey Bulldog' is utterly mad.
Magnificent piece of yarnery. Those muppets did not lay down their lives in vain.
As for Fanny, the drummer is a master of the only facial expression a percussionist should ever need, henceforth known as “fanny face.”
They remind me of Humble Pie quite a bit, with the energy, tone and raw power
We opened for them at the Fillmore East, May 1971. Cheers, June
Justin Hawkins Rides Again is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get! Never heard of this band before, glad I now got to!
amen!
Took the words right out of my mouth! x
😃🤘💜🎤🎸🥁🎹
I was introduced to Fanny when I was sixteen, still brilliant thirty six years later.
I was 14 and I still love fanny too- very much!
That’s around the age most boys are introduced to fanny
Oh matron
@@cockoffgewgle4993 oh for gods' sake! And how old are you now???
Actually ‘a woman’ is Roger Moore referring to Dr Goodhead in 1979 in Moonraker. SEVENTY NINE.
Ah...well it makes my point more relevant. Thanks!
STEEEEEEEPHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEENNNNN
@@FungleFunTime (just coming) (although I knew this anyway) ✊🏻
8:04 "Really really solid hammond organ face, there as well!"
I have a very strong feeling you are not the first person to describe this phenomenon!
Fanny were David Bowie's favorite band! He mentions them in one of his interviews! That's how I first learned of Fanny and gave them a listen! So cool that you like them Justin 👍
Fanny were quite well-known back in the day, I remember (although being in my very early teens) a lot of publicity around them, they were held in high esteem.
I love the lead singers "feather-cut" hairstyle that was popular at the time.😁
I’ve seen Fanny Live supporting Tull on their War Child tour in 1974 😱Really impressed! Patti Quatro on guitar. Tull were unbelievably good… as always.
I love Fanny. That guitar tone from the early 70’s. What a crushingly heavy band.
I’m always pleased to get a notification from you. Love your energy. ❤️
Every song in that Fanny performance rocks. Their hit "Peculiar" is the one I remember best as a kid.
I have only just discovered Fanny and will definitely be googling fanny later. What could go wrong?
😁
The documentary Fanny: The right to rock is on Kanopy streaming right now, in Canada anyway. They’re still driven as ever. An amazing story.
My step-daughter is a 19 year old music student in college. Loves this band!!
Love this band! Never heard of them before but can’t get Fanny off my mind now [giggles]. Downloading some to my running track as we speak.
Saw them open for Johnny Rivers in Phoenix Az at the Celebrity Theater, they rocked hard and won over the whole audience.
Bill Burr interviewed the drummer, Alice De Buhr, on his podcast a few years back. Well worth a listen if you like that sort of thing.
Thank you so gosh golly much for covering Fanny. I had never heard of them before and absolutely love them now. I've spread them around my work place to classic music lovers and they all love them now too, so thanks again.
Right on time with my lunch break! Let's go!
After watching a number of your shows here on YouLube. It is very entertining and cool to see your honest view on bands and the industry. You are one cool guy and a brilliant musician! Cheers!
I saw them in the early seventies as a backup band for Jethro Tull at the Hammersmith Odeon. They were impressive then, but I was there for Tull. Great concert.
ALL 👍👍Thxs Justin for riding again
From AZ
Great song, great video! THANK YOU for playing the Gone Shootin lick, that is such a great ACDC song. I first heard it off the Beavis and Butthead Do America sound track and have been loving it for decades now.
Love them! Thanks for turning us on to such excellent music!
Fanny are the reason I started playing guitar/bass. The keys make this song sound like 'Quadrophenia' era Who, very similar to the keyboards on '5:15.'
Good ear April! I love The Who
or Deep Purple from about the same time
@@patm5086 Me too! I grew up a total Who freak! I looooooved Keith Moon.
@@surfingasongwave You're absolutely right!
@@surfingasongwave saw mach 2 DP in 1972. Blew me away.
Think you rock both that cardigan and Aunt Maud's....Love the show Justin....awesome stuff......Also a Darkness fan from Permission To Land. The first time I heard "Love is Only A Feeling" I was blown away and still have the hairs stand up on the back of my neck now when I hear it!
FYI - Irving Berlin had a transposing piano built in 1940. Thanks for your videos, Justin. Great stuff as always. Cheers.
I thought I'd seen one... just need to shift the keys across.
I was born in 1970 and when my parents split up and my mom got an apartment when I was 8 the phone company wouldn’t give her a phone line without a mans signature. So it’s almost the 80’s. My awesome mom got her phone line herself I’ll tell you. So I can imagine the shit these women who are talented af and rock went through.
It be cool if any surviving members would want to be interviewed? You’d be the man to do it Justin!
Cassandra M, there are lots of great interviews on CZcams and in podcasts with the members of the band and there was a documentary made about them (and their reunion) in 2021. Definitely worth checking out! 😊
@@JR-ot4im Thanks! I had found a few but with the members separately. But I’ll definitely look for the 2021 reunion. It really blows me away people acted shocked when The Go Go’s and The Bangles were out and ppl acted shocked women can play instruments 🙄 I heard nothing about Fanny who just rocked!
Yay! Love seeing the joy of a middle-aged man appreciating some Fanny, Jussy!
And Fanny’s “conversation with a cop” is as timely today as it when they wrote it. True rockers don’t put up with any bullies in blue!
Damn straight! Alice
I found a record of theirs at a pawn shop back in the 90s and the name won me over, in musical terms it was like discovering the Wrecking Crew for the first time. Nice one Mr Hawkins, I had no idea there was a documentary I'm definitely going to have to check that out.
Also, I can't be the only one who already adores Aunt Maude. She sounds lovely.
Cheers Juzzo.
Wow.
No wonder the boys were frightened.
Fanny absolutely rocks.
They would have blown The Who and say Deep Purple off the stage amongst others.
I feel ashamed as a 70's kid I didn't know about them.
So glad I do now.
Justin, THANK YOU for introducing me to Fanny! They are all phenomenal! I’m off on a quest to find out all I can about them 🤩
Dude. Thank you for this!!!
I first found them a couple of years ago when their video for Hey, Bulldog(Beatles cover) came up on my feed and I was blown away. It may have come from some live performance because they’re wearing the same outfits in this video. You should definitely take a look at that, either here on CZcams or on your own but it was my first introduction and I just fell in love.
I bloody love the bits that start " 'Ere...!"
I get a Small Faces vibe from the energy, and the video.
I also love Fanny.
Fanny are monsters! Their cover of Hey Bulldog is genius.
Really great to get analysis of an older band too Justin, thanks!
That is brilliant...thanks for sharing!
Just love your channel Justin, get to listen to music I'd never have come across otherwise...Fanny where have you been all my life?
you’ve encouraged me to learn guitar so i’m ordering one at the end of the week. ilysm and i love the cardigan more
You don't need to spend a lot on a good guitar either. Look at Ibanez, Sawtooth, LTD (ESPs lower brand) Schechter, Harley Benton, Squire (Fenders lower brand).
The guitarist (fingers) is responsible for great sound/tone, not the guitar. Also, majority of the tone in Electric Guitar comes from the actual model of speaker/driver you play through. They are not Hifi speakers with perfectly flat frequency responses, Guitar speakers have all kinds of different voicings which drastically effect the sound ( which can be seen in a speakers Freq. Response graph on most speaker MFGs websites)
@@hazepheno925 thankyou😎
Justin! Thank you so much for introducing me to the band Fanny. As a child of the 60s I can’t believe I never heard of them. True trailblazers and rocking women. Love your reference to the wig out section, so seventies 😊
Good Day it’s Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnn 🎶🎶👌🏽
Great stuff JH, I love these musicians
"Fanny: the Right to Rock" documentary is on BBC4 tomorrow April 5th at 9PM.
Sorry, that's MAY 5th. Forgetting which month it is... :-)
I think they went with that name as way to say. "Now that we got the obvious out of the way how about listening for a change because we've got a lot to say". They should be recognized as a foundation that all women should be applauding. They sure as hell rocked! 🤘
This is badass, thanks Justin 👍♥
Hey Justin, that's actually a 355 - stereo. I let it go for a '58 LP, wish I'd kept them both (I'm deaf in one ear, tho). June M.
A lot of people like your band when they finally hear you play. Thanks for everything.
Was that a master volume on the scratchplate, and was that there when you got it? BTW, hell of a sound!
Vaguely heard of them before but this is my first time really checking them out. Sounds really good.
Will do! Thanks for the heads up Justin!
I just found out about them a couple years ago, wish I had known about them in the 70s. Came across one of their albums at a record show and grabbed it up, I hadn't seen one before. Rock on Ladies!
Justin, man. I hope you feel good about what you're doing here, just needing out about music in CZcams. I've been a fan of your music since you guys came out and I just wanted you to know that this shownis one of the only things I make sure to watch every day. Your humor and nerdy expertise is a perfect combination for something to break the monotony of modern existence. You do shit like, this piece about this band Fanny and show off cool bands that may have slipped through the cracks. The way you noodle about on your guitar and find the song but it's not in a educational sense, it just kind of show how the guitar is the ultimate fidget toy, ad it's part of your voice. It's just great, man. Even when you point out something lame, you aren't too negative about it. I just hope you know you're doing something valuable, even if the stakes aren't dire. But yeah, that's pal.
There's a great documentary about Fanny titled Fanny: The Right to Rock.
I highly recommend.
I've never heard of the band Fanny before. By the looks though, they're fantastic! I'll check out the doco for sure. Also, this cardy is excellent as well!
Looking really fresh in that light Justin 💖
When you were repeating The Kinks, I was shouting, 'The Who! The Whooo!' Loving your work, especially the cardis 🤘💖🌠
Fanny should be in the RRHOF. They were great! They were the first all girl rock band to write and produce their own records.
Rumour has it that George Harrison suggested the name Fanny. As we know, the word Fanny in the UK and Fanny in America have different meanings.
Maybe that explains why they were more popular in Europe.
but only a few inches apart
There was of course the great punk band, ‘The Slits’.
Their cover of Marvin gaye’s “ heard it through the grape vine” is interesting and different to anyone else’s.
The name Fanny was chosen as an homage to producer Richard Perry’s grandmother.
The beefy guitars with keyboards and aggressive vocals reminds me of Deep Purple.
Another great one thanks! Btw love the jumper and give it to Aunt Maude! (Unless you already gave her an amazing xmas pressie! - sorry for getting involved in family matters but you started!)
Best comment section ever. So much fanny love.
Also nice to see the coordination with the background, that is a very fine cardigan.
A kind of capo or transpose function did feature in some pianos manufactured in the early 20th century. Irvin Berlin could only play in E flat, so had a specially adapted piano made that could transpose at the flick of a mechanical switch. Of course todays midi digital pianos mostly have transpose switch, which i admit has saved my onstage blushes on a couple occasions. .
A friend of mine (and co-worker) built his harpsichord from a kit, and it included a pedal that would shift the entire keyboard and "action" (plectra) left or right one semitone. Does that count?
Wow these ladies are great! Being quite mature of age I've heard much music but not this band, its great to discover something that I missed over my long life! Thanks and keep on rocking Justin.
*for comments day* Wow, Justin! Only just realised that you covered ‘This Town’ by Sparks and it’s f**king amazing! My Mum adored Sparks (and you!) so if anything makes me believe in a ‘soul tribe’ then it’s that! She would have sadly passed at the time you did that cover but I know she’d have absolutely loved it! What was it like working with such legends!? ❤️
Enjoy hearing the intro on the nylon
Wow, Fanny. Incredible band and great musicians - they were written of by many as being a novelty act and the band name probably had something to do with it. However they were awesome!
They could have been named anything and would still have been treated the same.
As I'm sure some others below might've already stated, my MainMan DAVID BOWIE championed this band, and Earl Slick (one of the more underrated major guitar influencers of my young life - see "David Live at The Tower, Philadelphia" and STS) produced them
As a matter of fact, there's a great (yet very OOP) "Live" CD that Slick released himself called FANNY LIVE.
And Justin, good call on "Gone Shootin'". ⚡ I was hearing that as well.
As for The Who, definitely within that pounding piano section.
Trivial note: The bass player (one of the Millington sisters) dated, for a stretch (no pun), David Bowie in the 70s.
Marc
The bass player (Jean Millington) was married to Earl Slick for a while .. they had 2 kids Marita and Lee Madeloni
To the best of my knowledge, Earl Slick never produced Fanny. Five LP's, first three produced by Richard Perry, 4th by Todd Rundgren and the 5th by Vinnie Poncia. As noted tho Jean did marry Earl Slick.
Well, never thought I’d say this, but looks like I’ve been converted into a Fanny fan! 😂 seriously though, definitely going to check them out, never heard of them before and they sound awesome! Also love the fact that they refused to flaunt their bodies in order to sell their music. Proper female role models right there. 👏🥰
Yeah, I am now a Fanny fan, too.
Never heard of them until this video! wow
Blown away and surprised I’ve never heard of them. Can’t wait to show my teenage daughter who’s into rock music!
Never heard of this band before, these guys are amazing! I think Fanny just became my favorite all-female rock band! Thanks JH for introducing me to another great band!
I’ve seen this video before - its great and could slot straight into the first Rush album weirdly enough 🤔
Fanny... Such a hidden gem. Sounds heavier like Purple's MKII! Gotta check them out!!!
Holy shit! How have I not heard of this band!? Thanks JH. I shall be investigating
Another great find - all thanks to you, Justin. Thanks very much
What a lovely cardigan! 😍 It seems comfy and toasty🤗
Good stuff!
I get Spencer Davis Group vibes from the opening of this song for some reason. They are brilliant. 👍
Yes:))
ehhh why havent i heard of these amazing , thanks justin
Yes, I got Who vibes with this. Gonna check these out. Thank you.
Check out their re-interpretation of the Cream track “Badge” equally kickass!! 💛🔥
:)) Thank you.
That was great !!!
Not to take anything away from bands like The Runaways, but I think Fanny should have been just as if not more recognized. They were all just powerhouse musicians.
Unfortunately that doesn’t make you good songwriters
@@cockoffgewgle4993 wasn’t my point at all. And you can’t really compare them to the runaways since they were more straight up rock. I meant in terms of all female bands. No one I know knows who Fanny is, and I discovered them by accident a few years ago. But everyone knows who Joan Jett and Lita Ford are, and their “good” songs are meh, in my opinion.
That "freak out" section is definitely reminiscent of My Wife by The Who.
Blast from the past, so good, so underated
Fanny are a tremendous band, if simply for the vibe of their performance....but there is so much more 🤘
They were robbed by the music industry...
These women deserve to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...
Always with the Stella Street Jagger impression!
You never fail to deliver Mr. Hawkins!
Phil Cornwell's Jagger is my favourite Jagger, but your Jagger comes second place!
I loved Mick & Keith running the corner shop, genius.
Justin, please look into the band Stone, from Liverpool! I would look at Let’s Dance to the Real Thing!
They have such a great youthful energy that needs to be seen and heard! You won’t regret it! ❤
New to me. Fanny are awesome. Been checking there stuff out since your posting 👍.
Will give the new documentary a look next 'Fanny, the right to rock'
They were so ahead of the times. Just brilliant
I wasn’t paying particularly close attention for the first few minutes, so color me surprised to find this group is from the 70’s!? Sounds as fresh and fierce as if it were put out this morning. Even the Hammond, having fallen out of the mainstream, lent what I imagined to be a funky throwback vibe to a new track. Lead singer’s voice was 👩🍳 💋!
Awesome work as always Mr Hawkins! A question for comments day sir...I'm interested if you have GAS? As a professional musician, have you acquired all of the lovely guitars, amps etc that you desire, or do you still lust after certain items? Thanks.
Good question! I hopw they spot it.
Definitely the early punk energy of The Who and The Kinks! AWESOME! Thanks for the intro.
They’re alright but really. Do we have to pretend they’re great just because they have vaginas? They’re not on the same planet as The Kinks
@@cockoffgewgle4993 I said early punk energy…didn’t say as good as or just like…why bring their genitals into it…perv?
@@ChrisDoyle2112 Yes, I bought their genitals into it. The band is called FANNY.
That sweater looked great on Sully in "Monsters Inc." Very cool.
I'd say that 8:16 section reminds me of the turnaround from Paranoid
Something for comments day, maybe? I feel like such a newbie because I was so young when I got into The Darkness but I still have questions!?
The video to ‘Love is Only a Feeling’ feels like heaven for rock and roll stars, where did you film it and what was it really like!? Loving the channel so much x
He's just done a video about this incase you didn't know 😊
@@hazelberry1454 oh I know! I was made up! Thank you though.
React to The Stranglers live at Battersea Park in 78 Justin, for a great throwback
