Iron Maiden, the Phantom of the opera lead singer was Paul Di'Anno passed away 21 October 2024 (age 66 years), Salisbury.Lead vocalist for Iron Maiden from 1978 to 1981.
I saw both Motorhead and Hawkwind a few times during the early to mid 90's. Both had a great, very dedicated, set of fans. The first time I saw Hawkwind I was expecting to catch a train back from London after the gig but ended up having to sleep rough as they carried on playing until the venue pulled the plug :)
One night in the early 80's, after playing a gig in my home city of Leicester, Motorhead ended up in a back street club in the city - which was hosting a private party that night for the sixth form students (17-18 year olds) from my secondary school. A surreal experience for those who were there......
Love your channel John but this is one video as a hardcore Motörhead fan that I was never expecting to see lol, best wishes and love from Stoke-on-Trent, UK - "Lemmy's Birth Town" ♠♠♠
This is brilliant, thanks for sharing. I think the first time I saw Motorhead on the tv and heard Ace Of Spades was on the tv programme The Young Ones, I thought it was brilliant. They had some great bands on The Young Ones, The Damned, Dexys Midnight Runners, Madness were all on there. One of my favourites of theirs apart from Ace Of Spades is Please Don't Touch with Girlschool.
At school I got one of those Record Subscriptions were you got an album once a month, first 2 free. I got Ace of Spades and AC/DC's Back in Black for free and then promptly cancelled. Those were my only 2 albums for the next 3 years. My brother already had all the Pink Floyd, Queen, Meatloaf, Led Zep and Sabbath.
I went to see Hawkwind play at the University of Essex back in the '90s, and looking back, it felt like a scene right out of Spinal Tap. The band came on stage with a collection of teepees and spent most of the show inside their own tent, only popping their heads out occasionally before disappearing back into the tent. If anyone’s reading this, I highly recommend checking out Hawkwind's 1979 song “Death Trap.” Of all their tracks, it’s the one that still makes it onto my playlists, it's a classic! And as a Spinal Tap fan, I’m excited to hear there’s a new movie coming in 2025.
For absolutely no reason, apart from your preferences on this channel, I now believe you live on one of the UK themed roads near "the Strip" (Londonderry, Belfast, Kings, Queens, Harold). 😀 Don't tell us! The little add-ons you give us, from your time in the industry, makes these vids unmissable. One love from Glasgow, Scotland. 💙 🦄🦁🏴
Saw them at Hammersmith Odeon on the Bomber tour.(79/80) Couldn't hear a thing on the journey home. Got complained at by fellow travellers on the last train out of London Victoria, as the four of us were bellowing at each other, just to be heard. Happy days.
In 77/78 we used to have a punk night on Sundays in Sheffield where loads of up and coming bands played, Motorhead were often on the lineup, and interestingly Joe Elliot (Def Leppard) was always playing his imaginary guitar right up in the front of the stage... 😂
This was very good indeed, with an exceptionally well informed video analysis by JJ. Enjoyed every minute & replayed it as soon as it finished. Great content & perfectly delivered = 10/10. JJ's irresistible ticking off of the late Lemmy for stealing equipment was very JJ too & quite endearing. Really made my day. Cheers!
Iron Maiden's lead singer on the first two albums wasn't Bruce Dickinson, he was still with Samson at that time. Their lead singer at the beginning was Paul Andrews, stage name Paul Di'Anno who has recently died.
I remember seeing/hearing Motorhead play in front of less than 30 people a few times in early 1976! It was not until Louie Louie getting them noticed that the numbers increased. Most noticeable was when they headlined the Hammersmith Odeon for the fist time the metal fans turned up. Early audiences were a mix of Hawkwind/long hair types, bikers, proto punks & freaks who got along jolly well!
I'm sitting here watching this with raging tinnitus, thanks to sitting by the speaker stacks at the Marquee and other clubs at Pink Fairies and Motorhead gigs. And by the way, punk was over by the end of 1977, so when they refer to the 'second' or 'third' wave of punk they're talking about bands who were much more metal, and the so-called punks who hung around our old haunts in the King's Rd, with their perfectly gelled mohawks, studded leather biker's jackets and copy-bondage trousers, were just clones who we referred to as 'postcard punks', or 'posers'.
I saw Hawkwind after eating a tiny bit of blotting paper and the naked girl was dancing 1 foot in front of me, as the music whirled around. I still recall this experience.
20 years ago, Motley Crue was the headliner in a concert I went to decades ago. I went purely because Motorhead was opening to them. They were definitely thebest part of the concert, IMO.
Being a Hawkwind fan I'm going to point out that when in the band Lemmy often played bass in a quite different way often adding some melodic touches. I'm also going to point out that the band members, including Lemmy, often talk a lot of nonsense about their time in the band and you can't necessarily believe what they say. But it's all good stuff anyway. I'm also going to mention that the first recordings with Wallis and Fox were far more new wave (the On Parole album). Larry Wallis wrote new wave sounding songs before new wave came along (City Kids especially in 1973) and was a producer at Stiff Records after his stint with Motorhead.
Hawkwind are so dam under rated a band, I saw them about 15 times when I wes younger from tiny old picture halls to the massive Kent bike show, (Rock n Blues) I'm 61 now and still play them regular. 🙂
I was a punk back in the late 70's early 80's and went to many Motorhead gigs. Also Lemmy lived around the corner, on Ledbury Rd, and we used to see him at the Earl of Lonsdale playing the fruit machines almost every night.
Lemmy really didn't give a fuck. I got into metal because of Lemmy and Motorhead in the early 80s and I am forever grateful. Absolutely legend. He was Motorhead, and he played rock'n'roll. Oh, and AmI Evil was the B-side to Creepng Death
The original drummer from Def Leppard who played on the Wasted album now plays in a Def Leppard tribute band called Shef Leppard. I'm friends with their singer so I've seen them play a few times and they're great!
I saw Motorhead, probably in 1984, it was mind numbingly loud, it affected my nerve endings and was basically deaf all the way back home on The Tube, all I could hear was a deep hum. That was at Hammersmith Odeon, and the toilets had flooded and every one was knee deep in piss. Great memories.
Used to see Lemmy constantly at Busby's Nightclub on the Charing Cross Road in London. He was always playing the slot machines. Spoke to him quite a few times at places like the Marquee club, Hammersmith Palais & the Hippodrome. Had some disagreements with him, especially his "I'm a Rock star buy me a pint" stick, but that's cool. A character, definitely!
I met the Drummer from motorhead in the early 90's when he visited my regiment in Germany, My daughter has his autograph dedicated to the Bump, she was Just a big bump in my wife at the time his dad served in the same regiment at one time.......
Orgasmatron is my favourite Motorhead song. I met him once (we were both brought up on the Isle of Angelsey, North Wales), but I met him in a club in Camden, London and guess what, he was playing fruit machines.
I love Motorhead, but I am an even bigger fan of Hawkwind! Amazing band, and still going so many years later. I've been enjoying these videos so much, its not often bands like Hawkwind and Joy Division are given such attention in the wider modern pop culture.
First time ever seeing Motorhead was Monsters of rock at Donington in 86! but unfortunately they were after " Bad News " comic band that asked to be bottled off stage, it's just the same as how much
Never got to see Motorhead, sadly. I had tickets to see them and Cathedral in Glasgow in the mid nineties but the gig was cancelled because of a lack of ticket sales. I was raging
Saw them first in the Summer of 1977, certainly an eye opener as I was more into blues rock at the time. Got to the venue early and had a little chat with Phil Taylor at the bar. In fact I'm sure Lemmy was already tanked up on JD and coke, amongst other things. Didn't affect his performance though. Try listening to "Motörhead" as sung by Motörhead and then listen to the earlier Hawkwind version. Pretty sure I saw them twice more at St Albans, once with Girlschool, who they released a single with. Plus once at a big venue in 1980 at Hammersmith Odeon, now the Apollo.
I loved Def Leppard as a NWOBHM. I didn’t like that they sold out. Then I rediscovered them as a rock pop band and actually begrudgingly loved them again but as a totally different band. The weirdest experience I ever had was finishing my own gig rehearsal then rushing across to watch Def Leppard on stage to pay for Her Majesty the Queen. What a strange day that was.
Growing up,Sabbath,Zeppelin etc were the bands of our older boring siblings. Punk was ours,but when it imploded for many of us we replaced it with Motörhead,Maiden,Venom and then Anthrax,Metallica,Megadeth. Personally I was aware the 80’s was New Romantic dominated but I didn’t care because my chosen genre was as big if not bigger despite the ignorance of the mainstream press. 40 odd years later and I still get to festivals and gigs,Never too old to rock and roll 😂😂😂
was hoping you'd do this one! ...difference between metal & punk? Metal artists can play their instrument, punk, you don't need to, that's the point 🤣🤘
Hawkwind very underrated. 36 studio albums and counting, top band. Lemmy was very important to breaking Twisted Sister in the UK. And no that was not Bruce Dickinson singing on Phantom of The Opera that was Paul Di'anno who recently passed awy.
When my sister left home I got to inherit four albums Rush - A Farewell to Kings (her prog side) Motorhead - Motorhead (her heavy side) Sex Pistols - Mever Mind the Bollocks (her punk side) Boomtown Rats - A Tonic for the Troops (her new wave side) For me, Motorhead fits right into the musical melting pot, Maybe that's just my odd brain and diverse tastes.
EDITED. I Wrote this before the video started so my facts are in the video, lol. 😟😂😂 I don't know if it's already been said below but here's a few fun facts, Lemmy was kicked out of Hawkwind because the rest of the band were acid heads and Lemmy was a Speed freak and while they were all tripping he was doing their heads in because he was just 100 miles a hour all the time. 😂😂🤘🤘 Rumour also has it he was kicked out because Hawkwind were touring North America and Lemmy was caught in posession of amphetamines while the band were crossing the US border into Canada. The border police mistook the powder for cocaine and threw him in jail for two days, forcing the band to cancel a number of shows. He named the band Motörhead after the last song he wrote for Hawkwind and after his manager advised him against calling his new group “Bastard”. lol. He said in a 2011 interview with the Chicago Tribune that if he had not been kicked out of Hawkwind he probably still be in the band as he enjoyed being in the band.
My Sisters friend was having a drink with Lemmy, he said Lemmy knocked on the under side of the table they were sitting at. Lemmy past him a speed bomb, which he necked. He said he was awake for about three days. Lemmy necked three of them!!!
they say Lemmy got his name, because he was a rodie and had to take people to the stages, and they were so stonned or drunk that always told him "LEMMY a little bit more"
Noel Reading was a frustrated guitar player on bass. It's said it made the Jimmy Hendrix Experience quite different in that regard. Not with distortion though.
No-one's mentioned that the dead man's hand - "aces backed with eights" - will have been planted in many peopls's mind by the Bob Dylan song Ramblin Gamblin Willie.
Err... JJ - 6:17 on the video, you're looking at The Quietus interview... there's an advert 🤣🤣🤣 + there's no shame if it's based on your google ad history ;) Capricorn, Metropolis or 1916.
I don't think that there's anything AI generated, Trash Theory has been around for years, long before AI became a thing and they already had these short music parts in their early videos.
@@UphillGardener-ly5sh I've listened to Trash Theory for more than a year now. I thought it was AI at first too. But it isn't. I think he keeps his voice deliberately "monotone" and a tad slow so more people will understand him globally. He never falls into the normal AI traps. Doesn't pronounce things incorrectly, or push words together when they should be separate etc. Also, at the end of every video, his voice does change. 👍🏽
@@titanium_di2402 4:19 "bass style" 5:42 "in time for the next show" 8:33 "NME, sounds" 9:57 "Rick Wakeman, artsy farsty" AI reacts to the comma in a way a human wouldn't
The idea trying to teach Sid bass by using scales is the actual anthesis of punk, the whole point was to break open the snobbyness of music and that you could make great songs without knowing how to play, maximum of 4 chords or less most 2 finger power chords lol.
#1. FYI. the term "Rock" didn't initially officially exist as a genre. Heavy Metal was the "generic genre" for all "heavy" music. For example, Bon Jovi was also considered Heavy Metal. So yea, Def Leppard as well. #2. You live down the road from The Rainbow AND YOU DON'T KNOW THEIR SIGNIFICANCE TO ROCK HISTORY!!!??? 😮 ..so, you've NEVER-EVER watched a Guns N' Roses music video??? So, here's what it is.. I'm Malaysian & have never been to the US and you're an American who needs to go there NOW!!! It's (1 of the 4) historical landmark of venue where for some of the HUGEST American rock bands that have been founded. #3. Your words, "Lemmy was not a good music teacher." My question, "do you seriously think Sid Vicious was a good student?" They were both probably high during the lessons, got fuct some more + got into physical alterations during lessons & eventually ended-up trading each-others "trade-secrets" about "managing" substance-abuse, being a menace to society & getting laid. In conclusion, I think Sid benefitted from his lessons with Lemmy - via their "like-mindedness." Seriously, WHO ELSE could Sid Vicious hire as a teacher??? All-in-all, where would the rest of us be without the Sex Pistols & Motorhead??? Metallica (for example) might not have even surfaced if not for Motorhead's influence on James Hetfield. Just the same, what would punk, as a genre, sound like today / would it even be a genre that survived till today without the Sex Pistols. Bless em' both.. 🙏
Iron Maiden, the Phantom of the opera lead singer was Paul Di'Anno passed away 21 October 2024 (age 66 years), Salisbury.Lead vocalist for Iron Maiden from 1978 to 1981.
For me, their best two albums.
Sanctuary.
@@johnp8131 for sure my fav Maiden albums too. JJ should look up the early history of Maiden, would be a good watch
We are Motorhead and we play rock n roll! A message for the ages.
I saw Motorhead in 09 and my ears are still ringing !
I was lucky enough to see them a few times from 79....SO LOUD! I'm now 61 and my ears are in their 90's
I'm 60 and saw him many times but back in the 80's, when I was a punk :-)
I saw both Motorhead and Hawkwind a few times during the early to mid 90's. Both had a great, very dedicated, set of fans. The first time I saw Hawkwind I was expecting to catch a train back from London after the gig but ended up having to sleep rough as they carried on playing until the venue pulled the plug :)
Used to go to see them in Leicester, and would have to grab the first train back in tyhe morning as they would never finish on time.
First time I saw Ace of Spades was on The Young Ones as a little kid. I remember being quite scared of Lemmy!
That was first time for me too!
One night in the early 80's, after playing a gig in my home city of Leicester, Motorhead ended up in a back street club in the city - which was hosting a private party that night for the sixth form students (17-18 year olds) from my secondary school. A surreal experience for those who were there......
It was Paul singing for Iron Maiden on Phantom of the Opera & Killer's album......
Paul very recently went to rock on in the next life! RIP!
I heard Lemmy himself say he wrote Ace of Spades in his sleep, just woke up and it was there on a notebook next to him. R. I. P Paul DiAnno and Lemmy.

"We are Motorhead and we play rock and roll!" 🎸
Saw them in November 2012 and it was very, very loud. And very, very awesome! 😊
Saw Motörhead in April '82 at the Afan Lido ,Port Talbot.
It was my first gig ,
Bloody brilliant! 👍🤘🔥🏴
Hawkwind, my favourite band of all time :)
At school I got one of those Record Subscriptions were you got an album once a month, first 2 free. I got Ace of Spades and AC/DC's Back in Black for free and then promptly cancelled. Those were my only 2 albums for the next 3 years. My brother already had all the Pink Floyd, Queen, Meatloaf, Led Zep and Sabbath.

Hawkwind the most underrated influential underground band of all time, cant believe they are still playing live.

I can attest to the hearing damage, i saw them in 1980 on their bomber tour and yep, ears rang for three days after but it was worth it.
Exactly the same in 82. Saw them on the Iron Fist tour. I was fairly near the back but my ears were still ringing three days later.
Saw them at Hammersmith Odeon on the Bomber tour.(79/80) Couldn't hear a thing on the journey home. Got complained at by fellow travellers on the last train out of London Victoria, as the four of us were bellowing at each other, just to be heard. Happy days.
Remembrance Sunday this weekend, Motörhead's 1916 (or the Sabaton version) would be a must to crank up and listen to.
In 77/78 we used to have a punk night on Sundays in Sheffield where loads of up and coming bands played, Motorhead were often on the lineup, and interestingly Joe Elliot (Def Leppard) was always playing his imaginary guitar right up in the front of the stage... 😂

Metal - Punk. So similar from today's perspective, but a thousand miles apart back then.
No Sleep 'til Hammersmith remains one of my favourite live albums. It highlights how good they were as a band and as individuals.
Still have my ace of spades 7 inch. But my teenage self wrote 'are punk' underneath motorhead.😊
I saw Hawkwind after eating a tiny bit of blotting paper and the naked girl was dancing 1 foot in front of me, as the music whirled around. I still recall this experience.

"I'm a police car"
The first time I saw Motorhead was on the Ace Up Your Sleeve tour in 1981 at Leed's Queen's Hall, UK. Very loud. I'd be around 14 years old
I was a punk back in the late 70's early 80's and went to many Motorhead gigs. Also Lemmy lived around the corner, on Ledbury Rd, and we used to see him at the Earl of Lonsdale playing the fruit machines almost every night.
Lemmy really didn't give a fuck. I got into metal because of Lemmy and Motorhead in the early 80s and I am forever grateful. Absolutely legend. He was Motorhead, and he played rock'n'roll. Oh, and AmI Evil was the B-side to Creepng Death
It's jackpot time again!
Jackpot time!
Jackpot time!
See.
It _can_ work!
The original drummer from Def Leppard who played on the Wasted album now plays in a Def Leppard tribute band called Shef Leppard. I'm friends with their singer so I've seen them play a few times and they're great!
Lemmy sponsored out local roller derby team, proper legend
I saw Motorhead, probably in 1984, it was mind numbingly loud, it affected my nerve endings and was basically deaf all the way back home on The Tube, all I could hear was a deep hum. That was at Hammersmith Odeon, and the toilets had flooded and every one was knee deep in piss. Great memories.
Used to see Lemmy constantly at Busby's Nightclub on the Charing Cross Road in London. He was always playing the slot machines. Spoke to him quite a few times at places like the Marquee club, Hammersmith Palais & the Hippodrome. Had some disagreements with him, especially his "I'm a Rock star buy me a pint" stick, but that's cool. A character, definitely!
The song Hellraiser played both by Lammy and Ozzy Osbourne is my favourite Motörhead song. But it never gets love.
Killed by death is for sure the best Motörhead song. Awesome music video too.
As a Stokie, love that your last couple of vids have featured Stoke-on-Trent born people, Lemmy and Robbie Williams
very entertaining, best reaction video I've seen to date, JJLA very funny guy
Ace of spades also features in tje young ones episode bambi this can be reacted to on youtube
One of the BEST episodes!! Also has Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, & Stephen Fry!!
I did send the link to JJ previously. Here's hoping...
16:10 - _"We're Motörhead and we play Rock 'n' Roll!"_ was Lemmy's introduction before every concert. 😉
Pop, country, metal, opera can all get in our charts, and have!!!!
I met the Drummer from motorhead in the early 90's when he visited my regiment in Germany, My daughter has his autograph dedicated to the Bump, she was Just a big bump in my wife at the time his dad served in the same regiment at one time.......
Great reaction.

I've been enjoying these videos so much, its not often bands like Hawkwind and Joy Division are given such attention in the wider modern pop culture.
An Australian band that loud in Melbourne town Hall that they cracked the foundations of the 1800's building
There's even a Cliff Richards reference in this, the man is an undying God!
My favorite Motorhead song is all of them.
I highly recommend watching Lemmy The Movie. It's fantastic
First time ever seeing Motorhead was Monsters of rock at Donington in 86! but unfortunately they were after " Bad News " comic band that asked to be bottled off stage, it's just the same as how much

Great Band ,one of the best👍✌

You should hear the cover of Bowies Heroes. The vid starts with Lemmy playing a slot emulator.
My brother saw them in the 80s and couldn’t hear for days…
I was disappointed when Rickmansworth was mentioned and JJ never said ''show ME on THE MAP'' !!!
Top of the pops is one of the greatest music shows ever
Bands like Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Poison, Ratt, etc were known as Hair rock.
Growing up,Sabbath,Zeppelin etc were the bands of our older boring siblings. Punk was ours,but when it imploded for many of us we replaced it with Motörhead,Maiden,Venom and then Anthrax,Metallica,Megadeth. Personally I was aware the 80’s was New Romantic dominated but I didn’t care because my chosen genre was as big if not bigger despite the ignorance of the mainstream press. 40 odd years later and I still get to festivals and gigs,Never too old to rock and roll 😂😂😂
was hoping you'd do this one! ...difference between metal & punk? Metal artists can play their instrument, punk, you don't need to, that's the point 🤣🤘
Excellent
Hawkwind very underrated. 36 studio albums and counting, top band. Lemmy was very important to breaking Twisted Sister in the UK. And no that was not Bruce Dickinson singing on Phantom of The Opera that was Paul Di'anno who recently passed awy.
130 decibels is approaching Hanatarash levels of dangerous, and that's saying a lot ;)
f-ing love the young ones version
I saw Motorhead just after Ace of Spades came out. They were a tad loud.
Also, check out more Hawkwind, they're amazing!
When my sister left home I got to inherit four albums
Rush - A Farewell to Kings (her prog side)
Motorhead - Motorhead (her heavy side)
Sex Pistols - Mever Mind the Bollocks (her punk side)
Boomtown Rats - A Tonic for the Troops (her new wave side)
For me, Motorhead fits right into the musical melting pot, Maybe that's just my odd brain and diverse tastes.
Pop charts is just a term for the main music charts in the UK, ie it’s popular rather than the genre specifically
Two of best concerts i ever we to were probably Hawkwind and Deep purple.
EDITED. I Wrote this before the video started so my facts are in the video, lol. 😟😂😂
I don't know if it's already been said below but here's a few fun facts,
Lemmy was kicked out of Hawkwind because the rest of the band were acid heads and Lemmy was a Speed freak and while they were all tripping he was doing their heads in because he was just 100 miles a hour all the time. 😂😂🤘🤘
Rumour also has it he was kicked out because Hawkwind were touring North America and Lemmy was caught in posession of amphetamines while the band were crossing the US border into Canada.
The border police mistook the powder for cocaine and threw him in jail for two days, forcing the band to cancel a number of shows.
He named the band Motörhead after the last song he wrote for Hawkwind and after his manager advised him against calling his new group “Bastard”. lol.
He said in a 2011 interview with the Chicago Tribune that if he had not been kicked out of Hawkwind he probably still be in the band as he enjoyed being in the band.
My Sisters friend was having a drink with Lemmy, he said Lemmy knocked on the under side of the table they were sitting at. Lemmy past him a speed bomb, which he necked. He said he was awake for about three days. Lemmy necked three of them!!!
You should check out Hawkwind they are Mighty
did you ever listen to Probot 'Shake your blood' ? loved that song
they say Lemmy got his name, because he was a rodie and had to take people to the stages, and they were so stonned or drunk that always told him "LEMMY a little bit more"
Noel Reading was a frustrated guitar player on bass. It's said it made the Jimmy Hendrix Experience quite different in that regard. Not with distortion though.
No-one's mentioned that the dead man's hand - "aces backed with eights" - will have been planted in many peopls's mind by the Bob Dylan song Ramblin Gamblin Willie.
I would love a Space Echo an Echoplex and a Ace Tone Rhythm Ace or Maestro Rhythm King. Look myself in a go full tilt Beastie Boys.
@15:46 was Paul Di'anno RIP.
If you think you know Motorhead you should react to their song 1916
Any one tried Motörhead's red wine, it's not a bad shiraz.
Wasn't Bruce Dickinson it was Paul Di'anno.
Err... JJ - 6:17 on the video, you're looking at The Quietus interview... there's an advert 🤣🤣🤣
+ there's no shame if it's based on your google ad history ;)
Capricorn, Metropolis or 1916.
You really should look for mother head , ace of spades. On the young ones. 80s cultural land mark.
Love me a random umlaut 🤘
"Our band's so ugly, if we moved in next door, your lawn would die."

I saw Motorhead twice in the 80s. That wasn't Bruce Dickinson singing.....see below.
Back in the day I loved punk and post punk, I also liked Ace of Spades, but no, never uniting with grebos, lol.
The trouble with these AI generated mini docs is the parameters set for copy write make the music parts too short
I don't think that there's anything AI generated, Trash Theory has been around for years, long before AI became a thing and they already had these short music parts in their early videos.
@@Reani71 Not AI? Listen to his (lack of) cadence, to point out I mean the mini doc that's being reacted to
@@UphillGardener-ly5sh I've listened to Trash Theory for more than a year now. I thought it was AI at first too. But it isn't.
I think he keeps his voice deliberately "monotone" and a tad slow so more people will understand him globally. He never falls into the normal AI traps. Doesn't pronounce things incorrectly, or push words together when they should be separate etc. Also, at the end of every video, his voice does change. 👍🏽
@@titanium_di2402 4:19 "bass style"
5:42 "in time for the next show"
8:33 "NME, sounds"
9:57 "Rick Wakeman, artsy farsty" AI reacts to the comma in a way a human wouldn't
The idea trying to teach Sid bass by using scales is the actual anthesis of punk, the whole point was to break open the snobbyness of music and that you could make great songs without knowing how to play, maximum of 4 chords or less most 2 finger power chords lol.
Stone dead forever 🤘or dead men tell no tales
As one of those 70s punks I disagree, love lemmy as a person but metal had nothing to do with punk.
#1. FYI. the term "Rock" didn't initially officially exist as a genre. Heavy Metal was the "generic genre" for all "heavy" music. For example, Bon Jovi was also considered Heavy Metal. So yea, Def Leppard as well.
#2. You live down the road from The Rainbow AND YOU DON'T KNOW THEIR SIGNIFICANCE TO ROCK HISTORY!!!??? 😮 ..so, you've NEVER-EVER watched a Guns N' Roses music video??? So, here's what it is.. I'm Malaysian & have never been to the US and you're an American who needs to go there NOW!!! It's (1 of the 4) historical landmark of venue where for some of the HUGEST American rock bands that have been founded.
#3. Your words, "Lemmy was not a good music teacher."
My question, "do you seriously think Sid Vicious was a good student?" They were both probably high during the lessons, got fuct some more + got into physical alterations during lessons & eventually ended-up trading each-others "trade-secrets" about "managing" substance-abuse, being a menace to society & getting laid.
In conclusion, I think Sid benefitted from his lessons with Lemmy - via their "like-mindedness." Seriously, WHO ELSE could Sid Vicious hire as a teacher???
All-in-all, where would the rest of us be without the Sex Pistols & Motorhead??? Metallica (for example) might not have even surfaced if not for Motorhead's influence on James Hetfield. Just the same, what would punk, as a genre, sound like today / would it even be a genre that survived till today without the Sex Pistols.
Bless em' both.. 🙏
