I've heard Dave Grohl tell a story about how he first met Lemmy. He was already in Foo Fighters, when he met Lemmy at a club and approached him to tell him he was his hero. The first thing Lemmy said to him was "I'm sorry about what happened to your friend". That's genuine kindness.

Every single story I hear about Lemmy shows that he was a genuinely great guy. I love the one when a school kid calls into the TV show where he was and tells him that he was bullied because he was black and a metal fan and Lemmy tells him to not care and just tell people to fuck off. Lemmy was a legend.

They later made a pretty great song together, Shake Your Blood, with Dave's side project Probot. It's pure Motorhead worship but all the songs on that album are basically in the style of the respective guest vocalist (e.g., the song with Max Cavalera is like Sepultura).

While sitting there he saw Lemmy come out heading to the tour bus. Talked to him for a sec and told him his situation. Lemmy took it all in and then reached into his pocket and gave him a ham and cheese sandwich and then got on the tour bus. God bless Lemmy.

Millions regarded him as their friend because off-stage, whilst being gunslinger-cool, he was also quiet, very sardonically funny, VERY clever, and in the best British traditions didn't/couldn't take life - his life especially, seriously. Never arrogant, but pure Rock n Roll. RIP Lemmy, xxx

@nat2nathan2005 7 ай бұрын

I think the reason so many metalheads identify so much with Lemmy is that he was the absolute embodiment of what we'd all love to be. He genuinely didn't give a solitary fuck about what anyone thought of him. He did what he wanted, how he wanted, and if you didn't like it, you were welcome to go elsewhere. And what's more, he encouraged everyone to think that way. Do what makes you happy, and to hell with the expectations of others. Whenever I'm faced with a hard choice between doing what makes me happy, or what others expect of me, I stop and ask myself... "What would Lemmy do?"

@browncoat697 5 ай бұрын

The really fun part is that Lemmy was kinda ugly (big ol' warts on his face and all that) and sounded like he gargled with rusty nails and the strongest whiskey you could find, yet he had so much raw charisma and confidence that he came off as this swaggering rock god. We all kind of wish we could be ugly and sound like booze and cigarettes and yet still be the coolest and most interesting dude in the room.

It's authentic. It's raw. It's real. This is what I'm missing in the musical mainstream today, where autotune rules the airwaves and songs are written by committees instead of artists. I'm not a big Motorhead fan myself but that's purely a matter of personal taste. However, I've got nothing but respect for them for how real they were at every stage of their career, even when they were at the top of the heap of the metal scene. Authenticity is what really touches people, and that is what makes Motorhead's music immortal. You hear it in the riffs, you hear it in the lyrics, you hear it in Lemmy's imperfect singing. The love they get from their legions of fans even all these decades later and years after Lemmy's passing is completely deserved.

Singing in distortion was basically created by people trying to sound like Lemmy. Without his voice there would not have been so many different harsh vocals, if it hadn't been for bands trying out more and more and different distortion you wouldn't have stuff such as grunting or screaming. You can pretty much say there wouldn't be bands such as Cradle of Filth or Lorna Shore if there had not been Motorhead first. Maybe at some point someone else would have created such a sound, but it would have taken a lot longer.

I think part of the appeal of Lemmy Kilmister is that his singing is the antithesis of what is considered by the more posh and cultured world as "good" or "proper". He was the epitome of living life on the edge and pouring it all into adrenaline pumping rock n' roll. He was the kind of musician that the common everday man could relate and latch onto more, even 40+ years later. There is also the fact that Motorhead was a HUGE part of kicking off the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, bringing heavier, faster metal with that black leather look that still has an appeal in some circles even now.

I was never a Motorhead fan, but when I saw them live at Wacken it was eye opening. The band pretty much played there every year without fail, rain of shine. Lemmy was a true metal god, even when he was in failing health he still went onstage. The last time I saw Motorhead live, it was a Wacken and Europe was having a brutal heat wave. Lemmy came onstage against doctors orders, and performed about half the set before the heat got to him. Even as he apologized that he couldn't go on the whole crowd, at least 40000 people, screamed how much they loved him and thanked him for even coming out that day. Pretty much cemented my opinion that the European metal scene and festival culture is among the best in the world.

He was almost every bit the character that Lemmy was, too! Endurance yes, even if 'chemically-assisted', but his technique could be considered "not a technique".

I think @TheCharismaticVoice was picking up on the wild intensity of the beat(...s) but of course the video is for the most part vocal analysis. Phil (drummer) passed before Lemmy, and in Lemmy's book he spoke fondly of Phil and sorely lamented losing his old friend and long time bandmate. Phil Animal Taylor R.I.P.

@@spangospanga3564In ‘88 or ‘89, I saw Motörhead, with Overkill & Slayer. It was strangely, not a big crowd, so you could get right up front easily. Being a drummer, I positioned myself over in the side, so I could watch Dave Lombardo play when Slayer came on. But instead, I was absolutely blown away by Animal Taylor. He had sweat flying off him, ten feet in every direction. I’ve never seen someone work a kit like that, before or since. Absolute legend. He actually made Lombardo’s playing seem pedestrian (and that guy was my drum hero at the time). 35 years later & I can still see him, beating the living fuck out of that drum kit, clear as day.

Hopefully not too late to comment on the 'relatable' question; AoS was released when I was 15. I was already into Motorhead and had seen them live a couple of times. This track, though, was something else again. The first time that I met Lemmy (and later Phil and Eddie) was at the time they were recording the AoS album. All three were generous to a spotty kid, happy to chat, sign my jacket (!) etc. Genuinely rough and ready, all from very working class backgrounds with no pretentions, clearly loving that 'outsiders outsiders' image - and let's face it, on paper, not likely to be a chart band...and yet! In all honesty, as a youth, I tried to adopt AoS as a sort of philosophy. 'Win some, lose some, it's all the same to me' - is such a positive attitude thing. 'The pleasure is to play'. At life, that is. 'I don't wanna live forever' is self explanatory, but, though the whole lyric riffs on gambling (which Lemmy was fond of) , a sort of river boat gambler character is obviously in there, 'Don't forget the joker' is really about not taking yourself too seriously. That was one of the things that I loved and still love about the band. Plenty of other bands around this time were always 'cool' or 'tough' in press photographs. Motorhead, sometimes fell into that, but were much more likely to be being making daft faces in daft places - or at least looked happy! When a charity photo book titled 'Rock stars in their Underpants' was published, yeah, Motorhead were always going to be in it. There's huge joie de vivre in this song. And he meant it. Infectious.

The way he played his Rickenbacker was almost guitar-like in its energy and attack. A lot of strumming power chords with boatloads of distortion.

Motorhead is it's own category of metal because nobody else does it, as Lemmy himself had said. The formula is right in front of everyone's face for the world to see but you have to look back at history a bit to get it. In one of his songs he said he was older than The Rolling Stones and he was, but not by a lot. He was doing what everyone was doing in his time and place he just did it a little different. When British youth discovered American blues they loved it but being young they wanted something a bit more lively so they took the blues and turned it into rock 'n' roll, but you can still hear the blues in it. Lemmy had the same feelings about the blues but his street drug of choice was speed which is actually where the name "motorhead" comes from, a term used to describe speed freaks. So, being a speed freak Lemmy wanted a sound even more lively than rock 'n' roll, but you can still hear the blues in it. Most other forms of heavy metal have lost their connection to the blues but Motorhead never did. If I was the one making up the names of musical categories I would call Motorhead blues metal and Motorhead would be virtually alone in that category.

@philipricciardi8622 Жыл бұрын

I think Motorhead resonates because they took the concept of the dive bar band to its logical limit. No one was louder, harder, nastier, or more in-your-face, and all their songs sounded like a truck with no brakes careening down a hill while on fire. Lemmy was IRL sweet, kind, and patient with all the fans. My sister met him in the UK and he talked with her for a half-hour. BTW you may be interested to know his real first name was Ian. I heard that the Lemmy nickname came from the days before he was famous. He was always trying to borrow money by asking his friends "lemme a fiver", and the word stuck.

Lemmy's popularity and demigod aura stems from more than music. Yes, his voice was iconic. Yes, his "wrong" way to play bass is now a classic. Yes, the lyrics pack a huge punch, whether he sings about society's problems in "Orgasmatron" or about getting over an ex in "Ain't my crime". But what made him truly loved was his relatable, humble and very wise nature. He used to chug a bottle of whiskey and smoke two packs a day, not even to mention his drug abuse in his youth and his womanizing skills, yet he didn't encourage this. Instead, he encouraged people of all ages to stay educated and informed, to read a lot, to focus on themselves and not on others and their opinions, and most importantly, to treat their life and especially their passions seriously. And indeed, he was quite a reader and took his passion - singing and the rockstar life - extremely seriously.

The high position of the microphone is a relic from the early days, when the band only had a few spectators and he “didn’t have to see the misery in the audience.” Lemmy forever ❤️🤘

Hello! It is great to experience these songs i have heard many times and liked for a very long time, experience them again through you listening them for the first time and seeing you analyze them. You seem to be able to get into new songs and styles very fast and deeply. I find it hard to get into something that is completely new. I feel like i always have a connection with a song i like to a place or a moment or time, and find it hard to get into new songs right away. I have been watching many of your videos today for the first time and i get a feeling from them that i would like to somehow try to imitate these performers myself on a stage. Probably not going to happen but just a thought i had from these. Love the vids!

Lemmy was such a unique character. I get the feeling that people who hated his music would have liked the man. He never forgot that he was living his dream.

Lemmy’s voice really shines in ballads, believe it or not. He brings a hurt an vulnerability to the songs which a smoother more traditional singer could not bring.

Absolutely. My favorite is "1916". It has a sad theme that matches that vulnerability perfectly.

He was from Stoke-on-Trent and necked booze and cigarettes. His singing voice was very close to his natural speaking voice. I love it when experts in their fields look at metal/rock and see just how much talent is involved. Thankyou for doing that. He ~could~ sing in a gentler way, like in Lost Johnny or I Don't Believe A Word, but it's this delivery that we'll remember him for.

Notice that our Helden-tenor has his mic elevated so as to raise his head and throat. Technique of a Meistersinger!

Lemmy's bass playing technique is more like an electric guitar than a bass. He was a gentleman, and always had time for his fans. I got to see Motorhead once, opening for DIO and Iron Maiden. That was one hell of a show! Rest in peace, Mr. Kilmister, you were truly one of a kind.

Everything about Lemmy is legendary and iconic. His voice, his bass tone and playing style. Punk rock meets metal meets cigarettes and whiskey. Also anyone who knew him knew he was just a really really good guy. RIP you absolute madman!

Lemmy embodied so much of what rock n roll is about. He didn't like motorhead to be called heavy metal, He started many of his concerts by announcing 'We are Motorhead and we play Rock n Roll'. He was a phenomenal lyricist he wrote with lots of other groups as well. Probably most notably a few big songs for Ozzy off the No More Tears album. It's really hard to over state how cool Lemmy was. He lived life on his terms and his terms were of a standard that we should all try to achieve. I think so highly of him that I included his name as one of my son's middle names. Motorhead has just been a gift to the world, one that will endure. Some of my stand out tunes (it's really hard to pick): One Short Life Built for Speed Eat the Rich Ridin with the Driver Orgasmatron Bomber Born to Raise Hell hell I could just copy and paste their entire discography here
