“We are Motörhead and we play rock n roll” -Lemmy

I really dont know where american rock bands would be without the british bands of the 60s and 70s , they are totally insane and were such an influence on the US bands

"We're Motorhead, and we play rock and roll." And the music would start!

The drummer is a fuxxing Animal amazing 🇬🇧🇬🇧 rip lemmy legend.

As an old punk I can confirm motorhead was loved by punks and metal heads.

God bless Motorhead. They all Rest In Peace now 🙏. Lemmy, Eddie and Phil.

Saw them live 1977 in Bolton Lancashire England brilliant

Motorhead FIRST CONCERT FOR ME 1980 NYC when I was 13.. Saw them 26x in different countries They where great. REST IN POWER LEMMY KILMISTER

Saw them in a small club in LA in around ‘81, and they blew the roof off the place.

This song netted me my first speeding ticket...and my 3rd....It's impossible to drive slow to this song. Lemmy always put on a great show!

I saw Motorhead live a dozen times over the decades, including twice in one night in 1981 on the Ace of Spades tour. My ears were ringing for a week, but it was worth it.

i will always think of the british tv comedy THE YOUNG ONES from the early '80s when i hear this lol. motorhead performs this literally in the episode titled "bambi" where the characters hurry off to compete in a game show called "university challenge", competing against a young hugh laurie and emma thompson - it was bloody hilarious!

Everything a metal band should be!

I went to see Motorhead in a small theatre in England.It was too loud to stay in the hall everyone was in the corridors.Proper rock band.

Fast Eddie Clarke started a band called Fastway after he left Motorhead and they're fantastic! You guys would love their song called Say What You Will.

They were Motörhead and they played Rock' N Roll

We are Motörhead,we play rock n roll…………… CRASH BANG WALLOP. Love them.

Yep, Motorhead: adrenaline-fuelled rock 'n' roll turned up to 11. Lemmy was a really cool dude. Big hole left behind when he passed. Never be another Lemmy. Never be another Motorhead.

Philthy Animal broke his neck shortly after recording this album, when a friend dropped him on his head. He wore a neck brace. He also played on tour with a drum stick taped to his broken hand. Badass. Lemmy was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix. You should listen to Blockbuster by The Sweet- Glam metal forefathers. Their bassist would camp it up since people thought they were gay anyway, and dressed up as gay Hitler on Top of the Pops in the mid-70s. David Bowie even told him he was overdoing it with his makeup. The balls on that guy.

When he died , the Pubs in Brum (Birmingham)home of heavy Metal, renamed a J.D and coke … the Lemmy

"The Chase is Better Than the Catch" same album won't be able to get it out of your head! Lemmy epitomized Rock & Roll............RIP Brother

This is indeed one of those rare perfect songs

They’re Motörhead and they play Rock N Roll.

This song rocks!! I have always liked it!? Yes great rasp in his voice. Great reaction!!

Whenever I watch their 'Ace Of Spades' video, I convince myself that when the camera goes to Phil on drums, they speed the film up because nobody can drum like that.

I did security for one of their concerts and I was at the stage under the speakers….. I had cotton wool in my ears during the concert…. we didn’t have ear protection then and I still couldn’t hear properly for a few days after that! Lemmy was a really nice guy but I got on with Phil because we found both of us were skinheads in our younger days and were talking about the music back then….

I love your visualisations, awsome

Like AIC’s “Them Bones” - another absolutely PERFECT rock/metal song in under 3 minutes……Has everything ya want

When it kicks off at British football this is the song the hooligans put on in the pub on the box and steam in.

Great reaction!!! Rip Lemmy...

Lemmy started out in the biz as a roadie for Hendrix.

Should listen to Lemmy's preius band, Hawkwind, where he learnt to play the bass. Orgone Accumulator or Assault and Battery are good ones

When I listen to Motörhead so do my neighbours

Only time I saw them live was in August of 2003, they were on the bill opening for Iron Maiden with Dio and they were awesome. Just a classic metal tune for sure.

Pretty good song! Lemmy passed at the end of 2015, shortly after David Bowie, Glenn Fry, and all the big named singers of 2016 passed too. If I am not mistaken he was on an episode of LA Ink "freshening up" his Ace of Spade tattoo by Kat Von D. [Side note on Uno: We play "Jump In" with two decks (8 wild cards)... Those games are fun but heated.] :)

Such an important song in my youth and helped me finding my way (to metal)

I have been involved in a "few" of those brawls in my youth. Sometimes you just need to hit someone really hard, or get hit really hard. As an old man now I do my best to avoid those situations. Most of the time it works.

after following him from my first purchase of bomber only this man got me beleiving in his music.40 years later he still remains from the first albumwow he was true to himself.

lemmy was called that cos he used to say lemmy have a fiver (5 pounds) he was so nice and down to earth

Synchronised head banging from start to finish 😆

Motorhead is a live performance band. I recommend "Overkill" from the "No Sleep till Hammersmith" album. Sincerely, MHB # 1204

Yes, that is bass on the opening.

Saw them at the Reading Rock Festival 1979. Had gone primarily to see Thin Lizzy but they cancelled. Not sure I would heard them properly anyway. My ears were ringing for days after Motorhead's set.

I call this song "Training Wheels Motorhead". Its a good song, but they have like 40 years of great music that no one bothers to check out. This is the tip of an iceberg.

Sounds just as good now as the first time I've heard it

The phrase that starts the bar fight and how the song should have started......."WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKIN AT?????"

Welcome to the "Ace Of Spades" experience.

Yes!

Ian Fraser Kilmister stepped up to the mic, threw his head back and let the awesomeness that was Lemmy erupt forth like a volcano straight from his diaphragm.

Lemmy was the original angry, three-legged dog in the saloon 🤣🥰

Lemmy drank jack daniels by the bottle, a total fucking legend.

Saw them open up for Ronnie James Dio and Deep Purple (Headliner) in Phoenix Az 2001. There is great Blu-Ray documentary called Lemmy check it out. He played a gambling game and hang out Rainbow Bar & Grill on Sunset Strip West Hollywood.

back in highschool, this is the song my best friends and I opened every house party, cranked it as we cracked open the bottles and dealt the cards for at least 2 euchre games :) ('87-92/3) Got to see them live about 15 years ago, with Iron Maiden in Toronto.

Born To Die ~ Live To Win

I gotta say that might the best fuckin description of Motorhead I ever heard! A fucked up car with no brakes...hell yeah!

RIP Lemmy

Classic fucking Motorhead. Lemmy, Fast Eddie, Philthy Phil.

Heavy or any metal really is completely not my thing but I love this song! There's something about it that appeals...

Lemmy actually Learned to play the bass in Hawkwind! They did many free shows in the UK Lemmy play with the band on many shows. Hall of the mountain grill from 1974 features a song sung by Lemmy called Lost Johnny. You guys will Never react to Hawkwind! This is a Space Rock band from the 60s that is still going strong because of sole original member Dave Brock. 1979 - 1987 are the best yrs imho!!

You should react also to some other Motorhead-songs. Locomotive, Iron Fist, Overkill, Snaggletooth, Deaf Forever etc.. LIke Lemmy said in the 80's "We're not the best band in the world but we're definitely the fastest"

But Lemmy also has said "Good manners don't cost nothing".

I love Born To Raise Hell

If you think that Lemmy has a gritty voice, you should listen to Motorhead's cover of "Sympathy for the Devil"... It's as though it was specifically written for them 😛

Turn it up and rip the knob off! Let’s rock!

I got darted in my big toe whist wearing sandals by one of my best friends at a bar. Same night, another good friend lit my beard on fire, he got smacked. Another night, I was being arrested for something I wasn't involved in, given a cigarette, and offered money. U can't make that shit up...

My other bar fight story, this one that involved me, was one early December night we had finished up camera work at a basketball tournament shoot at the college I was attending and at the end the guys asked "So where are we going to go now ?", so we ended up deciding on a place that was pretty cool and we started the "pitcher club" that's where one person in the group of about 8 guys buys two pitchers, one for the table and one for himself kinda thing so at the end of a round each person had quaffed two whole pitchers. Well It came around to my second round buying the pitchers but this time I took my personal pitcher over to a table of girls that were out on their hen party. The bride-to-be I knew from working with her at a part-time job in a factory in town. So we were drinking and the hen group and I went up to the dance floor which was kinda a raised platform that was railing-ed off and there I was "dancing" with these girls after having consumed at least 2 pitchers by then and I was doing this "dance" where I would lean back and then lean in right close and then I'd step back and then step back in close and then I'd step back two steps and so on and so forth and I kept backing into this guy who was dancing with his girlfriend and he just went berzerk and twirled me around and threatened me and I got real tough and slurred "OH well then let's throw down then !" and I led the way off the dance floor across the bar and to the doors and pushed it open and yelled "AFTER YOU !" and he went out into the blizzard and I closed the door and went back and started dancing with the girls again and his girlfriend too ! And the doorman made the guy wait in line to get back in ! ! So one of the people I was with was kinda close with the bar owner and said "Look my friend is gonna get MURDERED when this guy gets back in" So, and I was told this afterwards because I was completely unaware, the guy got back in and was F*CKING LIVID ! and charged directly for me but the bouncers were ready and grabbed him just as he was gonna grab me, THANK F*CK ! So it wasn't long that I was continuing to do that "dance" stepping two steps back, three steps back, four, five... and ...and... I tripped backwards into the DJ booth that was off to the corner of the dance floor and recessed down a couple of steps and THIS part I remember absolutely crystal clear... the music just stopped with that ZZZIP of the record needle scratch and I shook myself and looked up at this GIANT bouncer with these MASSIVE BICEPS and TRICEPS and he bellowed "GO ! ! !" and I got up and... do you remember watching the Flintstones, whenever Fred did something humiliating and he shrank smaller and smaller ?... well that was like me that moment. So I sheepishly bolted for the door with EVERYBODY gawking at me ! and I got outside in the blizzard and the person who looked out for me brought my winter coat and I started walking home. ... But I decided to take a "shortcut" through a big park and as I was walking I just got really tired and thought... "I'll just sit down for a minute and have a little rest..." Except that I decided to actually lie down and take a nap... in a blizzard... in the middle of the road that bisected this park ! So there I was, nice and warm in my parka, when I noticed these two lights far far off in the distance, getting bigger and swerving and getting bigger and bigger until they were just blindingly near right in front of me ! Luckily it was the remnants of the group of guys I was with and they sobered up and decided to come look for me to give me a ride home and they instinctively knew I would take the "shortcut" but weren't expecting to see me, a white snow-covered speed bump, passed out in the middle of the road ! So anyway, epilogue to this story, This was just before Christmas break when this happened and when I got back from Christmas break, the very first house party I attended was at the house of one of my friends and fellow student who was boarding with a guy who owned his own house and was one of the lead salesmen at the biggest Stereo Electronics stores in town, Polk Audio, let's say and I knew he was like the guy who did sales and service for the bar in question, so I sheepishly went up to him and said "Oh man, I'm really sorry for falling in the DJ booth that night..." and he laughed and said "NO PROBLEM !... I got a $3000 commission right before Christmas because of you !"

You should check out their collaboration with Girls School, Please Don't Touch. Fun tune.

A mostly unknown Great Speed Metal song, which may be the First one actually, is from Sweet, you know the Love is Like Oxygen, Little Willy etc group. Try Sweet FA from them, and be amazed.

You guys would probably love the video for Killed by death….

Going to have to que this up at some choice scene entrances/gun battles on one of the Fistfull of Dollar movies or The Good, the Bad and the Ugly now... 🍻

Bar fights are a hobby in Britain.

I was a bouncer for a few years and you’re right that anything can happen. It also caused me to hate certain songs

Motorhead = raw

Ok you wanted a bar story. Mine kinda reinforces what Ryan was talking about. I briefly worked as bouncer part-time at the college bar where I went to school and the first Friday night I worked I had to jump in and break up a fight that almost erupted into a complete bar fight as the two who actually were fighting knocked over all the drinks on long table , but we jumped in, another bouncer and I and we kinda wrestled them out the door. I held back about a minute in the cool, late in the autumn, as one of they guys girlfriends pleaded with me to take the ticket for the guy's coat out to him from the coat check and so I did and there were the two guys sitting on a bench at the top of the stairs one of them lighting the cigarette of the other you know... it's just what happens sometimes.

Can I interest you guys in some these Powerwolf and Sonata Arctica songs? Powerwolf - Blessed and Possessed, Incense and Iron, Panic in the Pentagram, Sanctified With Dynamite, Resurrection By Erection Sonata Arctica - The Cage, Wolf and Raven, San Sebastian, The Rest of the Sun Belongs to Me, Ain't Your Fairytail

Do overkill next.....Motorheads finest banger🤟

One should also give a shout-out to Phil Campbell, the guitarist who replaced Clark, and was with the band for the final 32 years. Other latter day long-timers were Michael "Wurzel" Burston (the 2nd guitarist from 1984-1995; when he left, they went back to being a 3-piece) and Mikki Dee, the drummer from 1991 onwards. They rocked until the end. Favorite song: "Killed by Death". (An excellent live performance was at Dusseldorff in 2004; it's on YT.) If you think their connection to WWE was a bit out of left field, you should know that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" named an episode "Killed by Death", after the song.

If you listen to really early Motorhead and then later you'll see a world of difference. In Motorheads case; louder is most definitely better. First saw them on their Bomber tour

If yall liked Motorhead, listen to a band called Motorjesus.

👌

side A but for the rookies its ok kkkkk, tnks from brazil

This song is not a metaphor... it's genuinely about the thrill of gambling and Lemmy lived that life legit. His name is Ian Fraser Kilmister but he got the nick, Lemmy because in high school he was addicted to one-arm-bandit slots and he used to ask all his mates at school, "Lemme a fiver til payday"

Concentrated rock

No it’s nothing like a western there is nothing American about this song ,,it’s hard British hard rock before the softness of Bon jovi and guns and roses , these guys had real talent , the Drummer is something else

Still waiting for Supertramp gents.

You're right about Lemmy vocals. But you're wrong nobody can match him. Dan McCafferty of Nazareth was even louder

Alright corresponds. I Guess it's cool. Lol.

Hi guys could you listen to , Dire Straits, Sultans Of Swing , The Alchemy live version, Im sure you will like.

You should really react to Dave Grohl's speech at Lemmy's funeral.

Lemmy Kilmister was the true rocker and outsider of Rock and not Mick Jagger.

Love you like a reptile - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcpml9ec2rHakaM.html Just cos you can (doesn't mean you got the right) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLeCqsZ52bfeqZs.html

Listen to ozzy and Lemmy I ain’t no nice guy after all

Cmon? Really ? One of you HASNT heard this classic ?…. I’m good with that fiction as I want to hear it badly and see what you guys have to say about it 😆

jahh its europa

it is nothing literally to do with gambling... it is a metaphor for living the rock n roll life and not giving a fuck.

3:37 Not bad? I'd rather say OH F*CK NO🤯

So you know you're an icon when they create an all robot version of you..... Compressorhead kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b819i8KZt5O2n4E.html

how about that drummer?

Speaking of Dave Grohl, what would you think a song written by him for Lemmy would sound like? ..... Well - here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipZpm6V4rNa3mp8.html

3 millennium's go back through time, and get their assessed kicked in bar...im gonna leave it at that!
