Top notch! Part of Motorhead's appeal was they didn't take themselves too seriously...The world is a sadder place without this band. I will always treasure the memory of seeing them play live.
♠Yep. Motörhead or Motor mouth. Slang for speed freak. Lem made the correct choice with Motörhead. It does not get any heavier for a bad ass band name. And they backed it up musically 100%! RIP- LEMMY and Motörhead ♠(the first time I seen Motörhead was in 1981 Portland Oregon U.S.A. @ the old Paramount theater: OZZY w/ Randy Rhodes & Motörhead).☺♠
I remember watching this with my younger brother as kids, jumping up and down like lunatics, he passed away few years back, great times and great memories, swap shop was on the other channel, we only had 3 back then, we saw it as more for the swotty straight kids, tiswas was anarchic and great fun on Saturday mornings, we watched it religiously.
Perhaps he would've lived longer if he didn't slosh his brain around like that when you were kids, but at least he's energy with Lemmy now, and that is enviable.
hah hah hah - all the wee kids in the studio are headbanging - could not have this today - oh no .... not with the PC brigade - much missed times and band !
World's a sadder place without Lemmy, Motörhead & Tiswas (best kid's show ever - made being a Brummie fun!) - bet those kids had stiff necks the next day (first timers going all the way through "Ace of Spades"!)
There was another occasion when they played a short set in the car park of the studios. The following week Chris Tarrant said that they'd had complaints about the noise from a hospital over a mile away.
Not sure if that was Tiswas or not,but I remember that as well.It was around the "Killed by Death" time in 1984,Wurzel,Phil Campbell and Pete Gill line up.It is on youtube somewhere.

I can guarantee you that they would never be on a kids' TV show nowadays. Tiswas was the bomb. RIP Lem.
They wouldn't let kids shake their heads in a confined space these days!
Obvious Bicycle And Motörhead was the bomber!!!
Back when music had bollocks, now it just IS bollocks !
says the trans who has had them chopped off
Hahahaha!

Absolutely agree,even though they nearly blew my fucking eardrums out!!!
Keep playing the music,and the band will always play on...
I think any band that take themselves too seriously will end up looking like Spinal Tap.
The definitive motorhead lineup.
The only lineup... the rest was Lemmy and friends
RIP all of motorhead. (Actually Rest in Loudness)
Lemmy playing with his chicken as allways 😂 such good sense of humor
Motorhead on Tiswas . This is why I became the adult that I am. Far better than Multi Colored Swapshop.
Nicely skirted around the real meaning of the name, Lem. :)
What was the real reason?
Motorhead is slang for someone who is addicted to Speed.
As an ex-copper, I feel ashamed I didn't know that. Lol
Well I Never Knew That. You Learn something new every day :).

Lemmy & the boys flanned by the Phantom Flan Flinger! Wish we could turn back time.

First time I ever saw and heard Motörhead .been a life long fan ever since ,up till Lems passing.
Sad to think these guys are all gone...
Tiswas+Motorhead=Brilliant!
So many things to love about this, but headbanging pre-teens is so perfectly weird.
Saw Johnny Ball Headbanging once (Fatboy Slims father in law Zoe Balls dad).
RIP boys. Thanks for the fun and the music.
hah hah hah - all the wee kids in the studio are headbanging - could not have this today - oh no .... not with the PC brigade - much missed times and band !
Was reading White Line Fever and decided to Google this. My god am I glad I did

holy fuck.. I remember this...got me into motorhead. thanks tiswas !!!
Awesome! Kids are getting a real taste of real music. FUCK YEAH MOTORHEAD FOR LIFE!!!!
AHH, wish they had Ace Of Spades in full, looks amazing with the kids headbanging.
Who's here after reading Lemmy's autobiography?
Yes, but not because.
Just timing. I read it a few years ago.
Holyhell i am so stoned~
03.42... Frank Carson Headbanging to Motorhead ?... I didn't think I could love that mam even more.
wow i used to watch Tiswas as a child never knew motorhead were guests on there............Awesome
Motörhead my favourite band-seen them live so many times. Met Fast Eddie who was a gent, but would love to have had a drink with the boss!
Lol surprised they refrained from swearing 😆
It looked like Type O Negative crashing Pantera's stage, at the end there.
Was at the gig the night before Blackburn King Georges Hall, Ace Up Your Sleeve Tour! Magic!
Me too. First time I met them. I was in awe of Lemmy.
Tiswas, the program, that released rockers tension.
Excellent :). Was looking for this. This was the probably the first time i heard & saw them. Great upload. Many thanks.
I like the safe for kids explanation of the origin of the bands name

@@CamperVanPersie it was on The Saturday Starship
We sing the song, the bucket of water song. One of the coolest kids TV shows ever!
Motörhead and TISWAS kids TV peaked in my lifetime
Lemmy was well pissed off with the flan flinger 😂
Bringing up the kids right .
Kid’s programs ‘aint what they used to be 😬
Brilliant! remember this as a kid
just wondering what the name motorhead means? Lemmy: y'know, motor - pounds fist head
Motorhead - for the kids 😂
Lol good old Lemmy had a knack of making me laugh
Legends R.I.P. lads
Brilliant, thanks..
life was so simple....
Lemmy couldn't mention on a children's TV show that the name of his band is in fact a drug reference.
Great thanks
Never knew Jasper Carrot used to have such long hair.
Great stuff xxxx
Lovely bunch of coconuts.
Fantastic
WE """"R""""
The ROADCREW....
Funnyazfook
Its all so pc..and saccharin these days..they had a live boxing kangaroo on once...and it was having a punch up with its owner...
Not sure if anyone saw Matchbox on Tiswas, my mate said they were cowards with the flanfliger. No TH-cam back then, not many of us had video possibly?
😔😔 Lemm...
wow
God forbid if they explain what the name motorhead means on a kids show lol!
Was this the episode where all the Motorhead road crew were in the cage...?!?
In Lemmy’s book he mentions that their manager was in the cage.
Mann oh Mann hatte der Eddie lange Haare........
♠♠♠♠♠♠
Is that fucking Jimmy Savile near the end?!
Nah
Did she say "shitting up the charts" and did the guy in the middle correct her?
kid’s show???
All these line-up is dead by now ((((((.
What were Ed's and Phil's Jokes? Didn't get a word!
