Everyone commenting on this video must understand how pioneering Girlschool were. In the heady days of the mid eighties we had never seen anything like this. Finally an all women band footing it with the blokes on their own terms. Full respect!
Can't help feeling they never got the full recognition they deserved. Their sheer technical playing ability and musicianship was streets ahead of most of their NWOBHM counterparts.
You are mistaken. Infra Riot just did a cover of the song like Motorhead did. The song was written by Denise Dufort, Kelly Johnson, Kim McAuliffe and Enid Williams - the original members of Girlschool.
Holy Crap! This is an amazing version. The guitarist gives Fast Eddie a run for his money in the solo, and Girlschool's playing/signing has only gotten heavier, tighter, and yet more melodic with time!
Saw Girlschool at Bloodstock Open Air the other day.. they KICKED ass!! I dont care if they're "as good as Motorhead" cos I love both of them.. Well, maybe I love Girlschool just a little bit more cos Im a girl guitarist so they're a huge influence to me :)
Great band. I listened to these girls way back in the 80s, the best decade ever. It soothes my soul to see them still doing great things in the music world where crap seems to rule. That new Blonde guitarist is way sexy and talented dont you think?
TUVE LA SUERTE DE VERLAS EN DIRECTO EN EL PALACIO HACE UNOS CUANTOS AÑOS TOCARON MUY BIEN , HAN PASADO LOS AÑOS Y AHORA TOCAN MEJOR ! ESO SI AHORA SON UN POCO MAS MAYORCITAS!
You know what Girlschool should do? They should come out with an album that COMPLETELY blows everyone else out of the water. New fresh stuff. No song remakes.
Can't think straight, can't decide 'Cause time's running out and there's nowhere to hide Where to run, what to do Better watch out, cause they're coming for you
Motörhead/Girlschool: St. Valentines Day Massacre E.P. You propably got it on "No Remorse" Was a mix of MH/GS (with Taylor on backup mike (think he had his arm broken)), so not a real MH cover.
Kelly Johnson, the original lead guitarist of GS in years 1978-1984 and 1993-1999 IS, unfortunately, dead. RIP Jackie Chambers - CURRENT lead guitarist of GS and the one you can see in this video - is, fortunately, alive :) cheers
You're obviously not a real Motorhead fan redlama. Coz if you were then you'd know Lemmy loves Girlschool & they have been best mates for years, toured together for years and made lots of recordings together. You'd also know that "Emergency" is an original Girlschool song that Motorhead covered! Not only that Girlshool's Denise Dufort played drums on the Motorhead studio version because Phil was unable to do the session due to a serious injury to his neck,
No, this vid is not early, dont know when exactly it was taken, but I guess somewhen in 2005/2006. That isn't Kelly but Jackie Chambers on lead guitar :)
Emergency-Girlschool can't make out things he said but there's too many nouns to get out of my head It must be mad, must be lie From the crazy things of my mind (chorus) 9-9-9 Emergency! (emergency) (4x) Get it free, get it inside Time is running and you now it's too hard When to run, what to do? You better run from what comes to you (chorus) 9-9-9 Emergency! (emergency)
@A77uros Ya, except for Emergency is a Girlschool original. I dont remember the album but Motorhead covered emergency on it and Girlschool covered Bomber from them. Doesnt matter anyway cause no chick is ever supposed to sound like Lemmy, that would be gross.
sono...it's a Motörhead song,performed by their fav. girls, being Girlschool. Nevermind steve. He somewhat has a point, only he doesn't realize he has one....

These girls are legends. They paved the way for future female artist. It is a shame they get no airplay.

Denise Dufort is such a great drummer.She should go out and jam and tour with other musicians to show how great she is.
Can't help feeling they never got the full recognition they deserved. Their sheer technical playing ability and musicianship was streets ahead of most of their NWOBHM counterparts.
Sorry to hear of Kelly Johnson's passing. 6 year battle with cancer of the spine. RIP girl...

I love Girlschool music from Hungary !!
best female band of all time omg id die to play guitar like that \m/ girlschool hailz
This became quickly my favorite song! Gotta love Girlschool!
They are tooo good!!! I love them.Annette 44 years old from Sweden.
Holy Crap! This is an amazing version. The guitarist gives Fast Eddie a run for his money in the solo, and Girlschool's playing/signing has only gotten heavier, tighter, and yet more melodic with time!
Saw them in Seattle in1983...still in love with Kim after all these years.
Saw them in Seattle in 1983. After all these years, I'm still in love with Kim.
Saw Girlschool at Bloodstock Open Air the other day.. they KICKED ass!!

Boy what a band ! What a song !!
One word : brilliant !
This is an original - Girlschool wrote it and Motörhead covered it
Great band. I listened to these girls way back in the 80s, the best decade ever. It soothes my soul to see them still doing great things in the music world where crap seems to rule. That new Blonde guitarist is way sexy and talented dont you think?
Saw them on Friday night in Dudley - fab!
@petriofsweden I totally agree!! The Bass sounds AWESOME and is usually the first thing to get lost in a live mix!
I grew up with this music...they re still rockin...love it
Seeing them tonight with Motorhead, The Damned and Straight Lines at hammersmith apollo =D
Ganna be goooooood. =]
Love at first sight!
@NickyKFS indeed, she's one of my favourite drummers!! she's great and beautiful too!
Saw them twice in Seattle in 1983. Gil was on bass... If they don't come to US in 2010, then I'm heading to England...I've waited long enopugh.
I saw these girls in the 80s with the Scorpions...they put on an excellent show
Awesome.. I saw Girlschool at The Standard in London about 23-24 years ago.. lol Now I feel old...
pure punkrock, my band (the Guv'nors) played with them in our hometown some 10 years ago. brilliant & fantasic women :)
this ban has been my favourite about 20 years.. the'se girls ROCK!!!
Fantastic, go on Jacks on lead. Great playing and sound. Lots of energy, cracking stuff. Take care n'that, Stokesy from Heywood.
I remember going to see these at canterbury in may 1981...
Loved Girlschool when Gil was in the band, although I saw them a couple of times before then as well.
Enid, you're the one for me!!!
Always loved your singing on this....!
The sexist bass'es in the world!!!
x
i like .....i LOVE both versions!!!
Girlschool Rock! I'm so glad Enid's back!!!
great song and great band. Long live Girrlschool
Girlschool are one of the best heavy metal bands in the world no?
She's a beast at that, they supported Motorhead (surpsingly) at Bradford UK and let me tell you I still wasn't convinced...
wow this is the first time i have ever seen girl school they kick ass
Rock in, girls.
Supporting a good cause too - go girls!
TUVE LA SUERTE DE VERLAS EN DIRECTO EN EL PALACIO HACE UNOS CUANTOS AÑOS TOCARON MUY BIEN , HAN PASADO LOS AÑOS Y AHORA TOCAN MEJOR ! ESO SI AHORA SON UN POCO MAS MAYORCITAS!
Kelly actually used to live with Jackie and showed her how to play most of the songs.
You know what Girlschool should do? They should come out with an album that COMPLETELY blows everyone else out of the water. New fresh stuff. No song remakes.
Can't think straight, can't decide
'Cause time's running out and there's nowhere to hide
Where to run, what to do
Better watch out, cause they're coming for you
Sounds pretty much like straight Punk/Metal to me, which is what Motorhead is.
I like how this song starts!
Searing Video!
I wish they would come to North Carolina!
It is Denise - the years might not have been as kind to her , as with Jackie , Kim & Enid - but it was always about the music .
At first I was like "Haha, he's probably sure" and then, when I saw the drummer I was like "Oh sh*t :O"
Motörhead/Girlschool: St. Valentines Day Massacre E.P.
You propably got it on "No Remorse"
Was a mix of MH/GS (with Taylor on backup mike (think he had his arm broken)), so not a real MH cover.
Do you know what would be great? Lemmy apear at the stage and to sing the chorus together...
nice to see girlschool, RIP Kelly hope your jamming with RR and Mick RONSON
They've improved a hell of a lot since they started in the late 70s with the BNWHM scene. That guitarist could really play.
These chicks rock!
still love them......they rock!!!!!!!!!!
God i love her voice!!
gotta love these girls, they fucking rock. how could this get any dislikes ?
Kelly Johnson, the original lead guitarist of GS in years 1978-1984 and 1993-1999 IS, unfortunately, dead. RIP

RIP Kel. Sadly you had to go on my b-day!

No, this vid is not early, dont know when exactly it was taken, but I guess somewhen in 2005/2006. That isn't Kelly but Jackie Chambers on lead guitar :)
Best girl band ever. Totally up there with Motörhead!
@A77uros geweldig dit!
YES! Girlschool ftw!
@Derby14 Well, this was one of my favorite numbers on that album. And still is.
Emergency-Girlschool
can't make out things he said
but there's too many nouns to get out of my head
It must be mad, must be lie
From the crazy things of my mind
(chorus)
9-9-9 Emergency! (emergency) (4x)
Get it free, get it inside
Time is running and you now it's too hard
When to run, what to do?
You better run from what comes to you
(chorus)
9-9-9 Emergency! (emergency)
what a BOMBASTIC sound xDD. pity that the band dont still alive. The Concerts of them must be the biggest an coolest Party xDDD. Thumbs UP Girls !!!
wow. just.. wow..
Super !!
Nice heavy dose of bass.
Awesome.
Yes , and something crazy , like a US distribution deal.
I filmed part of this video so i know it was from when Girlschool were special guests on the Motorhead tour in November 2005
If the members of the band do read these posts.....ENID I LOVE YOU!
Girlschool Rocks & Rules'!
@A77uros Ya, except for Emergency is a Girlschool original. I dont remember the album but Motorhead covered emergency on it and Girlschool covered Bomber from them. Doesnt matter anyway cause no chick is ever supposed to sound like Lemmy, that would be gross.
I like your use of the word fanny ^-^
@A77uros ROFL, motorhead did the cover on this one... not the otherway around.
@A77uros: Just in case you dont understand Luis comments - The Motörhead version of "Emergency" is the cover, its a Girlschool track.
Duh!

That is so awesome.
sono...it's a Motörhead song,performed by their fav. girls, being Girlschool. Nevermind steve. He somewhat has a point, only he doesn't realize he has one....
