So strange without his iconic stache.

@@3DPeter He was ruggedly handsome. He could have easily had those growths removed but thought that it would detract from his sex appeal!

maybe compared to his last years but to see him really young checkout the Hawkwind oder early Motörhead footage of the 70s

Good thing I checked if someone had already written this 😁

@@brunobailly7013 Same here!

Is that what the song was about? haha

Correct. Lemmy didn't like the Clash, but he did like the Sex Pistols and the Damned.

Posh boys play punk, but not the poverty that goes with it. The Clash fronted by a Diplomats kid. Lemme K cool as.

@@sunilcunningham3080 - Lemmy was the son of a vicar.

@@lmjones7716 and that means what exactly? Being a vicar doesn’t imply wealth, and additionally whilst he was more punk than most bands on the scene, Lemmy never claimed himself to be a punk

@@bensidaway3343 - They all want to be a 'working class hero' though and most rock stars exaggerate their impoverished backgrounds. Even Lemmy.

ksr9t Most guests enjoyed being on buzzcocks especially when Mark Lamar hosted

Isn't Lemmy one of the few people to ever walk off the show?

Who'd win in a fight between lenny and God? Lenny IS God!!

Well... there're a snoozefest at the backstage.

Lemmy has always seemed to have a good sense of humor and easy going in interviews

We wish

Just played with them two days ago!

Exactly that was an obvious one, Lemmy probably knew that.

He died 5 years ago pal.

Well nearly 6

Definitely think Mark Lamarr was the best host.

"Being robbed of good entertainment" is a pretty apt description of the desolate landscape that is american variety shows.

@@theothertonydutch hahaha!! That's the word alright...And we were supposed to be "against" communism. Looks like 50s Russia to me and we have to hide our rock n roll records lest we be thrown in a smaller box

🎵 HEAAAALTH AND DAAAAAANGERRRR 🎵

Lemmy never asked if the show was whimsical on the broadcast show itself. It was from an anecdote by Phill a couple of years later. Now we all know that Lemmy stormed off during retakes, but Phill also revealed on the show in 2003 (and repeated on Big Fat Quiz in 2012) that Lemmy had an entourage with him full of roadies and groupies with bottles of Jack Daniels, and as they stormed out of the studio, fellow guest Richard Fairbrass approached Phill and quipped that Lemmy was perhaps "overcompensating for something."

I saw a program about UK number 1 singles and for whatever reason they had Fairbrass talking about Iron Maiden's "Bring your daughter to the slaughter" and he said something like "what a pathetic try hard song title". This is the cunt from Right Said Fred, he doesn't have the right to criticize any one else's music.

Presenting lemmy a gold disc if I recall correct 👍🏻

but he couldnt play reggae pop.

Philthy Animal was too *MAGNIFICENTLY OVERKILLING* for The Clash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If *hypothetically,* he (the Grizzly Hasland/Thumber/Leeds Teddy Bear Skin Thumper who never swore..... *SHIT FUCKER BUGGER ARSEHOLE CUNT HE NEVER FUCKEN CARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)* did get the fucken job on a perma basis, they'd have to be an Amphetaminered Heavy Metal Band, Joe Strummer would have to change his name to either fucken Joe Shredder or Joe Speedfreak, Paul Simonon would have his hair long and become a Loonhouse hangin round the Soundhouse and Give Em Enough Rope would've sounded like well..... *ACE OF MUTHAFUCKEN SPADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

@@davidbolger2000AD Apparently he dragged his massively overblown kit down several flights of stairs to a basement where he was rejected for being a bad fit for what the emerging Clash wanted (they didn't slag the bloke off) and he then had to drag the lot back up again. Now they thought he was over killing too, but as far as I know neither the Clash nor 'head ever thought ill of each other. Punk, Metal, Psychobilly, Rockabilly, and **insert your personal experience here** (who the hell is this 'Ice T' bloke?) met under the gaze of one Lemmy Kilminster. And a good, if somewhat loud, time was had by all.

You must mean: I fought The The And The The won

Yet rather hilariously didn't do it until after they'd finished shooting which is why if you can track down the original episode you never see him leave. I think the only reason people know he left is because Mark himself mentioned it in a later episode.

@@MythicSuns Probably split because he hadn't had a drink and a gasper for 20 minutes. Can hardly blame him. The producers should have had the courtesy and manners to have a J&C on the desk for him at least.

He walked because they were disrespectful to the girls in the line-up round.

Animals is the most punk album ever by a long chalk. Punks were mostly useless.

It’s a live audience

Exactly, when Lemmy shows up, somebodies become nobodies!

Who's a corporate stick figure?

Nah, lemmy has always been easy going and funny as shit. Imagined he thought "why the hell not"?!

Famous corporate stick figure, Mark Lamarr.

That's only Mani sitting across the room from him.

You're telling me mate. They weren't a REAL punk band, not like blink 182 ❤

No

You fucking idiot how on earth are The Clash a pop band?

...

@@lukess.s ......

@@sonsterlad3326 .............................!

There just having a laugh

Lamarrr is being disrespectful to Lemmy & he is definitely being snide to him...Lamarr is a shit comedian & wasnt fit to polish Lemmy's boots...

So what was he supposed to do? Treat him like a god? That wouldn't make a very good comedy show now would it? Lamarr respects very few living people. He has made that quite clear. Anyone who signs up for the show is fair game for jab or two if Mark thinks they could use an ego check. If Lemmy had any delusions about being treated differently, then that's on him.

+royalparadigm And Lemmy wouldn't have had any such delusions, because he actually had a sense of humour, unlike our friend Chopper here.

Excuse my foul language but BOG OFF YOU TWERP!

They were considered one of the seminal English punk bands, you probably only know their later, poppier hits. In comparison to the Sex Pistols (who most true punk aficianados deride as being manufactured - look into "Malcolm Mclaren" - and purely about "image" [even Johnny Rotten states this in numerous interviews]) they had real musical and lyrical talent (that's not a diss to Rotten/Lydon - I do think he's a smart man but not the most subtle lyric writer). The Punk scene eventually lead to, and gave way to, "New Wave" (songs that often had strong social commentary and dark lyrical content but were poppier in style and made great use of emerging technology such as synthesis). The Clash were - in their later years - one of the bridges between these two genres, adopting a poppier musical style. This is why they appear to the average punter as being more a rock/pop band than a punk band. Even the Police had punk roots and leanings and the poppy genres of reggae and ska were adopted by alot of bands with punk beginnings.

@@3rdEyeWide Strummer was a long haired pub rocker till he saw the Pistols. Look into "Bernie Rhodes " for the Clash sloganeering. You seriously telling us Jones/Matlock / Cook havent got musical talent?

Aljax79 Johnston They were punk in their earlier days, before their well-known hits started dropping

@@PBL187 OK thanks will check out some earlier clash.

@@alexjohnston8889 Bit of a swerve but that Aussie band Midnight Oil did punk in their earlier days as well, their first 2 albums I believe (the songs Run By Night, Used and Abused, and Surfing With A Spoon are great punk tracks by them). Completely different from their 80s hits

Other than their hits I don't know much about them, what made them wankers?

@@matthewwilson3202 to be fair if they became famous anytime before or after the UK Punk scene (76-78ish) I don’t think they would have got half the flak they did but as a 14 year old growing up Lydon, Siouxsie Sioux and a few others spoke to me whereas to me any my mates the Clash were a bunch of posh boys talking politics - probably liked by University students but not teenagers (at least where I lived).

james oliver right.he is obviously jealous

Filitsa Tampourlou it's not just that, metal/hard rock fans can be some of the most close minded people when it comes to different music styles

james oliver yeah but he liked the pistols and ramones.i believe that something happened that's why he doesn't like them

They even made a song for the Ramones. And Lemmy considered Motörhead more punk than any other style.

As if clash shit on motorhead 🤣 They're both great bands, but there is a clear favourite for me of the two.

don't come to England then, you won't understand anyone

Whatever, Borat.

Yet you speak it ?

where you from?

No he’s right the Stoke accent is grim tbf
