Title: HIM - Don't shake me Lucifer
Post by: HelldoneFestival13 on March 24, 2012, 08:55:04 AM

Hi all,

I have a question...I came across subject song on Youtube. I saw this was also played on some live shows.
Does anyone know from which band/artist they did this cover from? Can't find it on internet, and when i search on the song title + some lyrics i hear during the song, i can't find it either..

Thanks

I believe it was a cover of a Roky Erickson song, although I'm not sure if it was him solo or with the band 13th Floor Elevators.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks Errin,

On Youtube it's Rocky Erickson - Don't shake me lucifer. But HIM is really giving a own 'taste' to the song, i can't reconize it at all (the lyrics either), while they were playing it live. But if you are really sure, maybe it's me :P

Thanks.

I've never actually heard the original - I just did a quick google search - but I'll definitely check it out now, to do a comparison :)
