You’re probably already aware that we released our cover of “1916” on April 14 (side note: thank you all for the amazing feedback. We’re so happy you like it!), so we thought it would be fitting for our next episode to be about the incredible band behind the song. Now, we want to know: Are you a Motörhead fan? What songs/albums of theirs do you rate highly? P.S. Don't forget, you can support Sabaton History on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sabatonhistory

Honestly when I saw the track 1916 dropped I deadarse thought there's no way. But when I saw the Double decker pull up at Hammersmith I jump clean outta my seat, my head still fucking hurts. Personally I was hoping for a Death Or Glory cover, has enough to translate to you're style.

Motorhead was one of the bands that got me interested in Metal back in my last year of high school in the first place (2014), only because my mom's friend was getting rid of old CDs and I got whatever seemed like I would like. When I listened to that one Motorhead album (Bastards), my journey in leaving Rap behind for Metal (And indirectly other genres like Country) began. Motorhead truly is a great band, makes me regret I didn't come across them earlier.

Motörhead is the one band I saw live the most. They just happened to tour much in the Netherlands and with free public transport as a student I could not (would not) resist.

For a man who lived life to its absolute fullest living until he was 70 was quite the run. Others who lived like Lemmy either died much younger or cut back on everything. He was the heart and soul of metal, and I doubt there will ever be another like him.

One of my favorite parts of learning all of the deep lore associated with many, *many* metal bands, is how Lemmy would just appear out of nowhere like some kind of musical cryptid and leave all these younger bands with odd and hilarious memories.

When Sabaton where releasing a song called 1916 I didn't know it was a cover of Motörheads song. So I listen to Sabatons new song 1916 and I got the biggest smile. This is awesome. I have two band tattoos and they are Sabaton and Motörhead. Now I hope that Sabaton will do a cover of Overkill on a Show.

For me, the thing that really changed me for being "yeah, fine" to "fuck yeah" on Motorhead was seeing them live; they're best enjoyed in company, and at the kind of volume you really should be wearing earpro for. If you can't *feel* the bass, you're not really getting the full experience.

I, unfortunately, never got to see Motörhead live. I remember on September 5, 2015 my dad and I had tickets to see them here in Houston. They had to cancel due to Lemmy being too ill. Mötley Crüe happened to be in town that same night with Alice Cooper and he managed to get tickets to that show. It was an awesome show but little did we know that we'd never get another chance to see the mighty Motörhead. Also, I'd definitely be on board for a movie by y'all about Castle Itter and for an episode about royalties.

Motorhead was one of the first bands I can consciously remember listening to rather than just hearing. To hear sabaton covering one of my favourite Motorhead songs was just epic. Something about joakim's voice fits the subject and overall tone of that song perfectly imho. Did wonder if you would cover Motorhead's history to go with the cover.

I remember in my 20th century world wars class, I recommended the song 1916 to my teacher, a fellow motorhead and metal fan in general. To my knowledge, he still plays the song to his class during the WW1 unit, as it coincidentally has a lot of the vocabulary terms for the conflict. He actually assigned us multiple The Great War episodes, and on the finally he asked an open-ended question on whether you would talk to Rasputin, Indy Neidel, or Lemmy about WW1 history, I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw this video.

I was lucky enough to see Motörhead live in 2004 or '05 (some time around then, anyhow). They were supported by Sepultura, who, BTW, were absolutely mind-blowing. I think it's a tribute to Lemmy's character that he was happy to follow Sepultura on stage, where other bands might have chosen a support act that was less well known or less outright brutal. Lemmy seemed kinda disappointed when only about five guys in the audience knew the Ramones by their first names (which was how Lemmy introduced the song Ramones that night). My ears were ringing for days afterwards.

I haven't seen a lot of Sabaton History videos, yet, give it time, but this one is a favorite. "1916" is also one of my favorite Sabaton videos.. I'm a fan of the Great War and World War Two TimeGhost channels and now this one too. (I have a lot of catching up to do, on all 3 channels!) I like the inclusion of Peter Caddick-Adams "Sand and Steel" on Indy's desk. That and the 2 books that follow are fantastic books!
