This video shows how Lemmy's bass style explained why Motorhead always sounded so GIGANTIC for a trio; those massive bass guitar chords just filled up a lot of the low-end and mid-range.
Yousseff Imani They were a trio for their first 9 years of existence, although they changed guitarists and drummers after their first album. That classic lineup of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke, and Philthy Animal Taylor recorded the band’s most celebrated albums: Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades, Iron Fist, and the legendary live album No Sleep Til Hammersmith. They had a LOT of lineup changes during their many years of existence with Lemmy as the only constant member.
@@Truth_Hurts_Bad most rock folk wrote a bunch of songs like that but thing is that Lemmy is far from that depiction of pedophilia, i like to look at it as a sort of perspective he has on it, kinda like gangsta rap. None of them are gangstas but they write rhymes about dealing coke and violence
maybe not the hardest song to play on bass but definitely super super fun to play.. im mostly a Metallica fan and this made me gain a whole lotta respect to Lemmy
The amps are designed to handle that kind of pressure, they usually blow up because of prolonged use or sub bass frequencies going too loud, if you use an octave pedal for instance
+Alexandro Holzgang (The Canadian Metalhead) Oh, didn't hear about it. That sucks; RIP Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister - One of the greatest Heavy Metal bassists ever to pick up the instrument (also probably the Heavy Metal musician who has the most badass facial hair ever) #RIPLemmy, and #Motörhead
I remember some years back while playing tonyhawk games was where I first heard this amazing song and it introduced me to rock and metal etc, genres that I had never even heard of before..... good times.
anxiety I remember playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1-3 that came out on dreamcast and ps1 it had so many good bands on it...Goldfinger, Dead Kennedies, Primus, Rage Against the Machine, RHCP. Between that game and guitar hero, they probably played a big role in why I picked up guitar and it stayed with me
For the longest time I thought most of that song was played with a guitar in that opening. Lemmy is surely a awesome bassist. May that man Rest in Power. Makes me wanna pick the bass up again.
Thank you This video is probably the best exemple of why so many people fail at getting how simple songs can be so BADLY butchered by randoms. You did an amazing job! Spirit and sound are perfect 😀😀
I played this video all the time in middle school because all the official vids were blocked. I salute you. Oh yeah, and THIS WAS PART OF YOUR PLAN, RICHTOFEN?

noob question, but what do the lines below the tabs mean? the I_I thing? and what does the swing from the 7 mean, just before it changes from 7 to an 5
lines are rhytmic figures. Half notes, quarter notes, 8th notes etc. And i think you refer to the ties. Those are for extending duration of notes more than it's value

they were a four piece (technically) at some point in the 80's but usually just trios

Hiya, what's the make of the bass your using, thanks
you know a man is crazy when he plays power chords on bass. Legend lemmy rest in peace
😂👌
Playing chords on the bass is probably what gave them a heavier sound
He would also overdrive the amp for his bass to which gave it this sound
Yup, his style covered the bottom and mid range.
Also the thick overdrive bass tone.
Lemmy... the only rythme guitarist that plays only bass
He also played acoustic
Ayy lmao
Rythm Bassist?
Peter Hook
Lou Barlow has a similar style too
FINALLY! a bass player not afraid to play chords!! \m/great job!
Steve Harris plays power chords dude.
Von Heller not too smart there huh?
Burton used a lot of chords too :P
Maybe he was talking about the TH-cam bass player who isn't afraid of strumming.
...Geddy Lee?
lemmy was really unique. great bass tone, interesting basslines, vocals that are recognized immediately and terrific lyrics. a genius.
Terrific alright.
"Jailbait"
@@Truth_Hurts_Bad the fact that he called it „jailbait“ made typical lyrics of that time and area much better.

The tapping of the left leg is missing in the tabs.
Hahaha. Right?!?!
Lol
I was going to ask where the Jack and Coke goes in the song. But hey we sure do have spirit!

*Actually grabs a pick like a boss*
*Chord time*
I just picture kid Lemmy with the pirate-esque hat and the same facial hair and voice 🤣
maybe not the hardest song to play on bass but definitely super super fun to play.. im mostly a Metallica fan and this made me gain a whole lotta respect to Lemmy
Actually thought I'm having so much fun playing it
Damn, that is probably one of the nastiest bass tones I've ever heard! hell yeah!
And we all fuckin love it!
Rip Lemmy. To me he was the greatest I thank you for taking your time to show respect by playing one his best songs I appreciate you for that
This is the hardest song I've ever attempting on bass because I'm afraid to blow my amp
The amps are designed to handle that kind of pressure, they usually blow up because of prolonged use or sub bass frequencies going too loud, if you use an octave pedal for instance
@@tite93 yeah
@@tite93 ruined the joke
To really play like Lemmy, just turn up your amp aaaall the way until it explodes. Then turn it up just a bit more.
Dude my amp only goes to 10 so I’ll never be able to play this one. Me needs a Spinal Tap rock amplifier!
I'm suing you!
I tried to follow you and my left hand burst into flames! :-)
I’m going to assume that your left hand is your picking hand
you must have like 4 days playing a bass
@@pxofpxof7782 strumming a guitar*
Edson Granados have you even watched the video
It's two notes, my man.
I guess this song goes to hard for me, half way through both my nostrils started gushing blood. Thanks Lemmy for releasing my inner rock
Your face was melting from inside out
Close your EYES. Don't look directly at the mole!

Andrew Pappas Not only an awesome bassist, but one of the best metal vocalists ever.
It's funny the fact that the band just never needed a rythm guitarrist, this guy was THE BASSIST. Lemmy God.

Same happened to me bro

THPS always had the best soundtracks.
A pattern to follow. GREAT JOB. Thank you. RIP Lemmy. If such good guitarists would play Lemmy's songs, rock'n'roll will never die.
The dictionary definition of bad ass. And that is possibly one of the best bass tones I've ever heard. Hell to the Yeah.

It's a thing my friend!
It's kind of common I think
Thank you

Spirit and sound are perfect 😀😀
What a badass performance! Now I think I have to cover it, too :)
RIP Lemmy
Dude, savage playing and great tone! Thumbs up!
No other song can make a beginner bass guitarist feel more badass than successfully learning this song on bass!!!
That bass line is brutal!
FUCKING BRILLIANT !! You did reproduce the UNIQUE, RAW,CRUDE,and DIRTY Lemmy's bass sound like no one else.
EXCELLENT COVER !
Caralho que timbre maravilhoso deste baixo !!! 😱😱😱
Lemmy was such a good bassist, amazing he could do that stuff whilst also singing and performing
this isn't hard at all lol
That was fantastic mate, great sound!
Dude, that's a gorgeous bass.
bass power chords are no joke especially down the fretboard, good stuff.
Every time that power chord hits you feel Lemmy’s spirit in the room...
Well now...THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
I just bought guitar magazine with the guitar and bass guitar tabs so I'm going to learn this 😊😊
Who else gets hyper when that bass line starts
sometimes it comes on MTV during headbangers ball and i will start screaming
I like the 2 heavy cowboy chords at 0:40
Hey who's better, Lemmy or God? Trick question Lemmy is God.
+Brohann Sebastian Bach beautiful reference sir.. just thinking that one myself
Brohann Sebastian Bach no god is god so shut up

Lemmy was wild man🤟🏽😂 such a fun song to play! Thank you
R.I.P Lemmy :'( Nice cover and tribute to him !
Lemmy"s bass was rhythm guitar as well , along with Philthy Phil realy made it a punk /metal sound never hear before ! and never duplicated since !
I fucking love that bass tone. RIP LEMMY!
I am sure i have said this to You before but You nail technique, tone and so on rock on

Guitarist: Is that a bass or a guitar?
Lemmy: yes
Damn right, thats Lemmy's tone, great job guy, big love from Canada.
crazy cover! awesome job man
I really enjoyed this video, its well done, and since Motörhead is centered on Lemy's vocals and bass it nice to hear and see the detail so clearly.

This is some badass shit! Lemmy was a great innovator on the bass definitely had his own style!
RIP lemmy. He would have loved to see this
WOW O.O ... Lemmy had a unique style. Thanks for uploading.
Power chords for the win
excellent tab..better than anything I found on line..thumbs up! More MOTORHEAD!
I would not recommend trying to play this baseline fingerstyle.
“You can’t tell me what to do!”
-Famous last words of finger-plucker me
I tried... It kills ur fingers if u haven't played in a long time! I play more guitar than bass so my hands not as used anymore and it killed hahaha
Challenge Accepted, now i just need to wait until my fingers are healed since last time i accepted this challenge, i accidentally filed them down to the knuckle on the first verse
Dude you rocked that tone. Sounds even better than the original.
Jaco Pastorius - The Chicken
Nobody has the power to play bass like Lemmy he truly was Good at it
"The Call Of Ktulu"
I had no idea that Lemmy played chords. I've never actually heard of a band that does that. So rad!
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden also plays power chords in quite a lot of songs.
Check his cover of sober by tool

That tone is almost identical to the record, well done!

Can't stand this pain I am feeling while watching this. Reminds me of Lemmy. Great cover.
with what are you doing your distortion?
There is a video of Lemmy showing how he gets his bass sound
Play through a Marshall, crank it as loud as you possibly can.

oh, is there some in depth explanation to this anywhere? im still learning to read notes and some things are confusing
thanks man :D seriously, explains it perfect and simple
Just learn the basic theory of music. Do some solfeggio. There are some good books that explain everything in details on the internet.
By playing bass like a guitar lemmy became one of the most original bassists ever
Halo - porcupine tree. Please!
Sounds fantastic, congrats and thanks for sharing
