Well Amber if you like that you need to watch a video of the greatest live band all time watch AC DC Shoot to Thrill live at River Plate. Trust me I am a child of the 70s and 80s and I seen a lot of bands live none of them hold the candle to AC DC greatest of all time. Rock on girl😎
Lem had a petunia garden in his apartment.......granted it was behind the toilet due to every other square inch of the place filled with war memoribilia.
Lemmy was a great friend of mine, he was my sons godfather and we were devastated when he passed away. I'll never forget you Lem... rest in peace buddy.
My old man pissed against a wall with lemme and had many of drinks with him when working backstage security at Reading Festival. I wish I had the chance ti meet him
@@aronrhys4920 I first met Lemmy in 1971 and became friends with him instantly, he used to play with my son when he was a toddler and became his godfather in 76, he taught my son to play bass, and I couldn't even guess how many times I watched him live, literally hundreds of times. I'll never forget him.. RIP Lem.
Growing up as a weirdo in the Midlands of UK, Motorhead were the band that united punks, goths, new romantics, hippies, thrasher, nobody complained if Motorhead came on. And Ace Of Spades was kind of the outsider anthem of 80s and late 70s.
So true, I remember rock clubs of the day and you'd get the different factions sitting together and keeping to themselves, but certain bands and songs came along which united everyone, this was definitely one. I always hated traditional heavy metal, I loved punk, post punk, Indie (mainly, I was an Indie Kid), ska and lots of other music, folk, blues etc., but always hated metal, but like most of my peers, Motorhead changed that as its almost impossible not to love this song!
I was 12 years old and that show would come on MTV Sunday night around 10 o'clock, yeah!! Culture shock for a kid from TN in the mid 80's, had of course heard Madness "Our House" but THIS insanity changed me forever.🤘
Guys, Lemmy used to be in a band called Hawkwind. I highly recommend you listen to their song Silver Machine. It is the only song by Hawkwind with Lemmy on vocals.
I saw Motörhead in 1982 ( saw them 2010 too) also, Edinburgh Playhouse. The ‘No sleep ‘til Hammersmith’ album was never off my turntable. I don’t remember much about it ( I was a little enebriated!) albeit it was a fantastic gig. RIP Lemmy, Fast Eddie and Philthy Phil…thanks for the music and the memories.
The most badass, dirtiest Rock n Roll band that ever walked the planet... there was and will never be another band like em' Lemmy , Phil and Eddie we salute you 🖤♠️
No matter who you are, The Ace of Spades is probably the only really fast hard rock song that it is impossible NOT to like. It just grabs you and drags you along and leaves you saying "Play it again!". Motorhead are not my favourite band, but this song is just a force of nature
This style of music is so not my taste. But this song is brilliant. It proves that style is unimportant when it comes to the best songs of any genre. Perfect is perfect.
Name any other song that can when played in a record store will cause complete strangers to hear bar 1, trade looks in bar 2, and commence all-out air-guitaring & headbanging in bar 3. (Speaking from personal experience!)😅😎🎸🤘
I am 62 years old and the survivor of 14 Motorhead tours. The best sound equipment in the business. Crystal-clear sound powered by some distant alien Sun from another Galaxy. It was so powerful and so loud that we thought they were going to blow us out the back of our concert halls. And we were looking forward to it. Imagine being in a small to medium venue concert hall with these guys playing at full tilt. There was simply no escape. Thank you for the wonderful reaction.
To "Fast" Eddie Clarke, Phil "Philty Animal" Taylor, and, Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister, I say Rest In Power to the GREATEST Rock 'N' Roll trio that ever was. "We are Motorhead, and, we play Rock 'N' Roll..."
When Rush was a bar band to their debut they were blistering like this a decade before. They just progressed. Lemmy once said he was against progressing.
Lemmy said in an interview that the lyrics are pretty much literally about gambling. My favorite line is in the breakdown before the guitar solo, “That’s the way I like it baby, I don’t want to live forever.” Well, Lemmy didn’t live forever, but he lived just like this song: hard, fast, and full volume from start to finish.
First heard this song in The Young Ones, as Motörhead played in their flat while they ran to their quiz show. Moving to Los Angeles, I made sure to hit iconic locations. One of these was The Rainbow Room on Sunset. As soon as I walked in, there was Lemmy, sitting at his usual spot at the bar. I was taken aback and decided to just thank him and shake his hand. He invited me to have a seat. We talked for quite a while. I went in for dinner and came out with so much more. What a night! Saw him a couple more times before he died. A♠️
Reportedly, Motorhead reached a decibel level of 130 dB at The Variety Theater in Cleveland during a live performance in 1984. The noise was so great that it caused the ceiling to crack, and the band was forced to stop playing as a safety precaution.
i only saw motörhead twice, but the second time the friend i was with, reluctantly, had to leave the show because he was getting sick from the volume. they were insanely loud and i loved it. ( i went back into the show after making sure my friend was in a cab to go home).
I live near the Variety. I used to watch midnight movies there in the 80's. In the mid 90's I once saw Lemmy walk into a bar I was in on W.117th street a few blocks south of Lorain Ave. on the east side of the street. My buddy at the time said "hey Lemmy!", he just looked and saw "What" a little stand-off-ish. He was bad-ass.
I saw them, point blank, right next to the stage in the old Ahora Ballroom in W Hartford CT in 1983, it was by far the loudest concert I ever witnessed because they had twice as much equipment you needed in a large bar, as soon as they turned on the amps we all knew we were in for it, about half the crowd surged to the rear or went out if the room to escape. No band quite like them for mothers and I saw Deep Puple and Black Sabbath in the mid 70s in large outdoor setting and it was not as loud being outside. I felt like I was in a pressure cooker of volume and my ears rang for several days. I know I had some hearing loss but that's Rock n Roll! Well worth it .
Nice that you both appreciate all different styles of music., and a lot of British bands, singers and groups. Lemmey the singer in Motorhead was one off charctor
Ozzy and Lemmy were good friends. When they showed up at a party for Motley Crue, Ozzy and Lemmy were still doing shots at 4am while everyone else was dead, dying or on their way to rehab.
Ozzy and Lemmy were so much fun that when death came knocking that night he took one look at how much fun they were having and said "ehh, I'll be back later, mates."
yeah, they pretty much recorded No More Tears and March or Die back to back. i remember when Ozzy was talking about Lemmy being a history buff, he had given him a book on WWII and Lemmy blew through it in a few hours during a recording break. besides, they are from the same generation (Ozzy's three years younger than Lemmy) who grew up in a war-ravaged England and found liberation on the Beatles and their contemporaries, of course there would be some kinship.
That guy is the real deal. U will probably never meet a man like Lemmy. Absolute one of a kind. Super polite and actually a GENTLEMAN. Believe it or not
Lemmy is the poster child for what a rock star was: Loud, hard music, fast cars, hot chicks, drugs and liquor, all with no shame and no apologies. He lived until his late 60s in this manner. The one and only, the true original! R.I.P. Lemmy
Lemmy's voice is compliments of whiskey and cigarettes. I love Motorhead, but sadly all three of these guys are no longer with us. RIP Lemmy, Fast Eddie, and Philthy
Lemmy was the real f-n deal, a lot of guys play at being a hard ass "Rock Star" he just was....in the best way possible. I was beginning to think the dude was immortal to live the way he did for so long. Thanks again for all the blown out speakers, if you don't play Motorhead really loud....don't play em at all!
When I was 15 I told my parents I was going to a school disco but I went to a Motorhead gig. My ears were ringing for 2 days afterwards. Ace of Spades has to be the greatest ever metal track. Lemmy was also a great bass player with a unique style.
My parents bought me a turntable and stereo with 2 times 20W output for christmas in 77. Got 20 german marks as well. few days later I had the first Motörhead LP. NEVER in the history of parentship have parents regretted buying a stereo more... :-) Loved that disc more than anything. Saw Lemmy at age 15 the first time live and 18 times altogether, the 18th was his second last gig ever in Ludwigsburg/Germany - 14 days before his death, at age 50. He was 'with me' for 35 years and never changed. He was a shadow of himself, but did his utmost to entertain the crowd. When I heard the news of his death I cried. This man was one of very few true RocknRoller.
You are not kidding, I saw that original 3-some point blank, literally leaning on the stage. When they turned the amps on we all looked at each other, we saw some heading for the rear of the hall. Permanent hearing loss for sure but no really bad effects and loved every minute of being 3 feet from Lemmy Kilmister!
I use to watch *The Young Ones* _a British sitcom_ in the 80s and they would have Motorhead play this song in the middle of their lounge room at some point in their shows. Its a great up tempo track.
Lemmy was an influential bassist back in the day. The way he used the Rickenbacker for its signature sound, played hard through overdriven tube amps created what many called a rhythmic rumble driving Motorhead's songs.
Lemmy the god!!!! FYI growing up in the 80’s , Motörhead was one band that all rockers could bond over… the hair band fans, punk rockers and southern rock boys… all loved Motörhead …
The late Ian 'Lemmy' Kilminster was one of rock's ultimate warriors. A true-believer, who used to drink whiskey in pint glasses and deafen his audience of ardent admirers. One anecdote that springs to mind is the time the band (originally to be called 'Bastard') were tuning up before a gig, only for a man five miles away to phone the venue and complain he couldn't hear his TV!
The reason why you love it so much is because at it's heart, Motorhead is simply a "Rock-n-Roll" band. Not really a "Heavy Metal" band. They simply play their music with a lot of energy and personal charisma. It's just Rock-n-Roll....Hence the famous intro by Lemmy, " We are Motorhead, and we play Rock-n-Roll".....Lemmy is God!!!
I love and appreciate your input on rock music. As far as rock music goes, Motorhead is in my library. Today's music is commercialized and edited. Back in the day, it was 'in your face'. Even with the success Motorhead had, Lemmy stayed the same. Down to earth and simple. He made millions. But he kept a simple lifestyle. He was about the music. RIP Lemmy, you are truly missed.
Lemmy is an example to us all. He taught us you can drink a fifth of Jack a day, eat nothing but red meat and cheese, do a bunch of speed, play thousands of hard rock shows, bang a thousand groupies, smoke thousands of cigarettes, and still die at the ripe old age of 70.
@@ibdaffy the biblical age expectancy was three score years and ten... 70yoa. In this modern time the average age at death in 2022 was just over 81yoa, so with all the medical achievements life expectancy has only moved on 11/12yrs in over 2,000 years. So your point is....
Saw this band in a small venue in Portland Oregon. They ROCKED IT. Loud and proud. For a trio the get it done! Animal on the drums. I think the muppets character was made to be like the drummer they called animal? They say if Lemmy moved in next to you, your lawn would die! Lemmy lived on cigarettes and jack&coke drinks. That’s why his voice was the way it was. He sat and played video poker in a bar the Whiskey, I believe , on THE SUNSET STIP in Los Angeles. When he wasn’t on tour, you could find him there every day, sitting at the end of the bar, minding his own business. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Lemmy started in a group called The Rocking Vicars, their agent lived next door to me when I was a kid. My mum was not happy when their cassocks were hung on next doors washing line🎸
Lol Amber said “I want more”. Well, you’re in luck lady! Motörhead’s discography includes 22 studio albums spanning 40 years! So you’ve got plenty more great songs to discover! Legends never die. Even when they are Killed by Death. ♠️🤘
Saw this original line up King Georges hall Blackburn back in '80. One of the loudest concerts I've been to. What years they were, the NWOBHM. From 78 all through to 81/82. So good to watch youngsters listening, keeping it alive.
The greatest trio ever Lemmy, Clarke and Taylor the original Motörhead I was a kid when this came out and I fell in love with this band and was a fan for over 40 years now they are all together raising hell.
Like Led Zeppelin, When Lemmy died, they called it quits. Drummer Mikkey Dee said "Motörhead is over, of course. Lemmy was Motörhead. We won't be doing any more tours or anything. And there won't be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone."
I don’t know how funkadelic would go over with reacting to you because it’s a long song and also guitar but I absolutely love this song. It’s called maggot brain
@@STAND-ALONE any Parliament, Funkadelic or Clinton would be good. Flashlight is a classic hit. Give up the funk, funkentelechy Free your mind, etc. but Maggot Brain just takes me on a total journey without any lyrics
As a teen headbanger saw Motorhead 29-MAR-82 at Hammersmith Odeon, London .. couldn't hear a thing at school for rest of the week as we managed to get down near to front of stage by one of the speaker stacks that was hammering out Lemmy's bass. Am 57 now, and that is still the most iconic memory of concerts back in the 'late '70's and '80's I have. RIP Lemmy.
@@darkiee69 wrong If i remember correctly he got Diagnosed with Diabetes in the early 2000s but kept Drinking his favorite drink JD n Coke He switched to Vodka n OJ late in his life when he started getting very ill like in late 2013 till he passed away in 2015
"The only thing you see You know it's gonna be The Ace of Spades" However much you gamble, whatever you do with your life, it all ends in death. That's the message!
Lemmy started as a guitar player in his first band. One night their bass player didn't show up to a gig, so Lemmy grabbed the guy's bass and played it. So began the legend that is Lemmy.
Lots of singers raise their head when singing. It helps with their breathing. One of the all time great vocalists, Brad Delp was another who sang with the mike above their mouth
@@martinkulkarni3569 Yet another one. He sang like hat so he is looking up and not into the audience. Try reading or watching an interview on the subject.
i like how he's speculating in the beginning this may be in the rock genre and i'm thinking to my self "he has no idea what he's in for". you guys are great!
Motörhead are amazing! I was lucky enough to see the “Ace of Spades” Motörhead live a few times and they were fcking monsters! Also met Lemmy who was a super nice guy. He is really missed. 🏴☠️
The lead singer was known as Lemmy and he was Heavey Metal personified and was much loved and respected by Metal fans and the his peers around the world. He lived the real rock 'n' roll life style and was areal character. I implore you to listen to one of his interviews. It's fantastic that his music (which he only ever called Rock'n'roll) is still having an impact on a new generation.
1-2-3-4! Watching this makes me appreciated this song all over again! Motorhead have been my favorite band for years. I played AoS so many times that I grew tired of it. Lemmy's voice is in a higher register than most. His gravel was not for everyone, but he could write great music an lyrics! Motorhead were far more popular in Europe, but finally gained fame in the US by the late 90s. They became a bigger draw here towards their end.
I understand that the song Ace of Spades can get tiring but to help u on that I suggest u listen to the rest of their Discography brother I'm sure you'll find new favorites
They would have hated the term "Speed Metal" but they sure got through a lot of speed. Lemmy often said it was not so much recreational as a practicality to keep up with the touring schedule. "Dropped another handful, to keep us on the road" as one of their early lyrics put it.
@@jamesmeek3475 True, but they were the first band to play fast and hard like this. More bands started doing this type of rock and it became known as speed metal. You ask any of those bands and they will say they hail Motorhead as the band they look up to and strive to be as great as they were. Losing Lemmy was a very sad day in rock history.
I don't know what it is about this song, but loads of people who don't like rock/metal or anything even slightly heavy still love this song. One of my favourites by Motorhead is "Deaf Forever", great riff.
Lemmy loved gambling .He was addicted to fruit machines and always had one in his dressing room 'Lemmy' - 'Lem- me a quid' apparently was where his nickname came from (lend me a pound)
So cool to see you two listening with open ears and reacting to this song and digging it.. I grew up with this band and still love hearing it. You guys are cool and do a great job.
Lemmy's voice is what a harley davidson would sound like if a motorcycle could sing
I never thought of it that way but I think you nailed it
Dude, that's exactly right!
More like an old British Triumph.
Edward Kennedy for the WIN!
Well Amber if you like that you need to watch a video of the greatest live band all time watch AC DC Shoot to Thrill live at River Plate. Trust me I am a child of the 70s and 80s and I seen a lot of bands live none of them hold the candle to AC DC greatest of all time. Rock on girl😎
Lemmy Kilmister, the lead singer, once said, "We want to be the band that -- if we moved in next to you -- your lawn would die."
That's him all right!
LOL I've read that quote before, and it was hilarious then, and it still is.
Everything louder than everything else.
Lem had a petunia garden in his apartment.......granted it was behind the toilet due to every other square inch of the place filled with war memoribilia.
I wouldn ' t mind if Lemmy had lived next to me for I never had no lawn .
Lemmy was a great friend of mine, he was my sons godfather and we were devastated when he passed away. I'll never forget you Lem... rest in peace buddy.

Took the Punk reference out of my mouth.
100% accurate
i was a LA Skin and saw them at the Santa Monica Civic...no words to describe it
I like that definition.

The character in his voice is Jack Daniels, cigarets and just about every drug he could take. Lemme Kilminster was the epitome of rock and roll. RIP.
In my list of Ultimate Rock Stars he is #2. Just behind Keith Richards. After those 2 there is a huge fall off.

I got to see Motorhead live twice. First time was them on a bill with Dio and Iron Maiden. My head is still ringing from that show!
I went to that show with DIO and Maiden at Jones Beach Theater, NY. One of my all-time favorite shows!!
I got to see them for the first and only time on that Iron Maiden/Dio/Motorhead tour here in El Paso, Tx!!!!
Saw that exact line up in Los Angeles (Santa Monica Civic center I believe)….
I saw them once and I was deaf for about a week afterwards
Me twice too! 1988 with Girlschool and Destruction and in a festival in 2010. \m/
Lemmy's voice is compliments of whiskey and cigarettes. I love Motorhead, but sadly all three of these guys are no longer with us. RIP Lemmy, Fast Eddie, and Philthy
Heaven had certainly gained one hell of a band.
NGL
all that with only 3 guys!!!! Motorhead..... Classic! Glad you enjoyrd it!!!!
There's rock, there's punk, there's metal... and then there's Motorhead.
I remember the shows.. Punks / metal heads / bikers.. it was insane.
I was a punk in 78 and we all loved Motorhead..it stood alone..I wouldnt want to have been the band to follow that ..no way!
Lemmy invented them all ❤
@@cliveedwards2958 when Overkill is done, there is only silence and only can be silence
Metal God Rob Halford was concise and precise about Lemmy’s voice:
“THAT’s the voice of Rock n Roll!”
Lemmy was the real f-n deal, a lot of guys play at being a hard ass "Rock Star" he just was....in the best way possible. I was beginning to think the dude was immortal to live the way he did for so long. Thanks again for all the blown out speakers, if you don't play Motorhead really loud....don't play em at all!
The only band in the mid 80’s that both punks and metalheads loved.
This song doesn't go from zero to 100 ,It STARTS at 100 !
When I was 15 I told my parents I was going to a school disco but I went to a Motorhead gig. My ears were ringing for 2 days afterwards. Ace of Spades has to be the greatest ever metal track. Lemmy was also a great bass player with a unique style.
Class 👌
My parents bought me a turntable and stereo with 2 times 20W output for christmas in 77. Got 20 german marks as well. few days later I had the first Motörhead LP. NEVER in the history of parentship have parents regretted buying a stereo more... :-) Loved that disc more than anything. Saw Lemmy at age 15 the first time live and 18 times altogether, the 18th was his second last gig ever in Ludwigsburg/Germany - 14 days before his death, at age 50. He was 'with me' for 35 years and never changed.
He was a shadow of himself, but did his utmost to entertain the crowd. When I heard the news of his death I cried. This man was one of very few true RocknRoller.
Haha I love it!
They were quite loud live. The air raid siren at the end of the show stayed ringing in my ears for a while afterwards. RIP Lemmy, Eddie and Phil.
You are not kidding, I saw that original 3-some point blank, literally leaning on the stage. When they turned the amps on we all looked at each other, we saw some heading for the rear of the hall. Permanent hearing loss for sure but no really bad effects and loved every minute of being 3 feet from Lemmy Kilmister!
I use to watch *The Young Ones* _a British sitcom_ in the 80s and they would have Motorhead play this song in the middle of their lounge room at some point in their shows. Its a great up tempo track.
🤘😆👍 The Young Ones!!! Great show!
Actually, just the once, but so worth it!😆....

Play full blast , and blow your speakers .out 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💯
Lemmy was an influential bassist back in the day. The way he used the Rickenbacker for its signature sound, played hard through overdriven tube amps created what many called a rhythmic rumble driving Motorhead's songs.
Lemmy the god!!!!
FYI growing up in the 80’s , Motörhead was one band that all rockers could bond over… the hair band fans, punk rockers and southern rock boys… all loved Motörhead …
Classic. Lemmy Kilmeister was incredible.
Amber, that character in his voice is decades of cigarettes and liquor!! Lemmy strangled every drop from his life!
Lemmy has been a legend in the uk since the 70s and was loved by so many Metal Bands. RIP mate have a pint where ever you are!
This song is a stroke of genius in rock history....
The late Ian 'Lemmy' Kilminster was one of rock's ultimate warriors. A true-believer, who used to drink whiskey in pint glasses and deafen his audience of ardent admirers. One anecdote that springs to mind is the time the band (originally to be called 'Bastard') were tuning up before a gig, only for a man five miles away to phone the venue and complain he couldn't hear his TV!
I absolutely love this song. Pure adrenalin, raw power. The singer, Lemmy, was a force of nature.
The reason why you love it so much is because at it's heart, Motorhead is simply a "Rock-n-Roll" band. Not really a "Heavy Metal" band. They simply play their music with a lot of energy and personal charisma. It's just Rock-n-Roll....Hence the famous intro by Lemmy, " We are Motorhead, and we play Rock-n-Roll".....Lemmy is God!!!
I agree. I could be wrong but I don't think Lemmy ever referred to his band as a metal band etc....always said rock and roll...🙏👍
I love and appreciate your input on rock music. As far as rock music goes, Motorhead is in my library. Today's music is commercialized and edited. Back in the day, it was 'in your face'. Even with the success Motorhead had, Lemmy stayed the same. Down to earth and simple. He made millions. But he kept a simple lifestyle. He was about the music. RIP Lemmy, you are truly missed.
Lemmy is an example to us all.
He taught us you can drink a fifth of Jack a day, eat nothing but red meat and cheese, do a bunch of speed, play thousands of hard rock shows, bang a thousand groupies, smoke thousands of cigarettes, and still die at the ripe old age of 70.
You obviously are still young. 70 is not that old, you will be there soon enough.
@@ibdaffy these days, that's old all things considered
@@ibdaffy - It's old if you live life at Mach 9.
@@ibdaffy the biblical age expectancy was three score years and ten... 70yoa. In this modern time the average age at death in 2022 was just over 81yoa, so with all the medical achievements life expectancy has only moved on 11/12yrs in over 2,000 years. So your point is....
whats worse was supposedly most of the the food was cold!
I always forget how hard the drummer goes in this song
RIP Lemmy, Phil and Fast Eddie, in my opinion the best Motorhead line up. I hope they are all rocking in heaven and playing it loud.
Saw this band in a small venue in Portland Oregon. They ROCKED IT. Loud and proud. For a trio the get it done! Animal on the drums. I think the muppets character was made to be like the drummer they called animal? They say if Lemmy moved in next to you, your lawn would die! Lemmy lived on cigarettes and jack&coke drinks. That’s why his voice was the way it was. He sat and played video poker in a bar the Whiskey, I believe , on THE SUNSET STIP in Los Angeles. When he wasn’t on tour, you could find him there every day, sitting at the end of the bar, minding his own business. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Lemmy started in a group called The Rocking Vicars, their agent lived next door to me when I was a kid. My mum was not happy when their cassocks were hung on next doors washing line🎸
It's one of the greatest songs in the history of music. How can you not like it?
Really respect how you guys approach everything with an open mind Motorhead is legendary long live lemmy!
Lol Amber said “I want more”. Well, you’re in luck lady! Motörhead’s discography includes 22 studio albums spanning 40 years! So you’ve got plenty more great songs to discover!
Legends never die. Even when they are Killed by Death. ♠️🤘
Saw this original line up King Georges hall Blackburn back in '80. One of the loudest concerts I've been to. What years they were, the NWOBHM. From 78 all through to 81/82. So good to watch youngsters listening, keeping it alive.
was there too the loudnest smashed the windows lol
So much Power and Energy
Great song to drive to , it will turn you into an absolute lunatic
Balls nailed to the wall , rock and roll ! RIP Lemmy ......
The greatest trio ever Lemmy, Clarke and Taylor the original Motörhead I was a kid when this came out and I fell in love with this band and was a fan for over 40 years now they are all together raising hell.
Like Led Zeppelin, When Lemmy died, they called it quits. Drummer Mikkey Dee said "Motörhead is over, of course. Lemmy was Motörhead. We won't be doing
any more tours or anything. And there won't be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone."
I don’t know how funkadelic would go over with reacting to you because it’s a long song and also guitar but I absolutely love this song. It’s called maggot brain
Ooh yes. Bring on some pfunk. Let the mother ship arrive
Oh hell yes. Bring on Funkadelic that guitar work in maggot Brain is as full of emotion as any lyrics could ever be.
@@damiangardiner147 And what about flashlight by parliament!
@@1COMIXMAN Also flashlight by Parliament
@@STAND-ALONE any Parliament, Funkadelic or Clinton would be good. Flashlight is a classic hit. Give up the funk, funkentelechy Free your mind, etc. but Maggot Brain just takes me on a total journey without any lyrics
That’s a fast A-B song whereever your going 👍 full throttle
I first heard this song in October 1980 and my life was never the same again.
If you guys are wrestling fans, motorhead is HHH's theme music
Ngl it would be cool to see them check out the game, king of kings or line in the sand. All great songs.
@@blacktytrix yea and evolutions theme song too
@@blacktytrix Yes.... I think both of them would love "The Game"!

Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister….the bomb!! A solid Icon!
As a teen headbanger saw Motorhead 29-MAR-82 at Hammersmith Odeon, London .. couldn't hear a thing at school for rest of the week as we managed to get down near to front of stage by one of the speaker stacks that was hammering out Lemmy's bass. Am 57 now, and that is still the most iconic memory of concerts back in the 'late '70's and '80's I have. RIP Lemmy.
R.I.P. Lemmy
“You know I hate to lose, and gambling is for fools, but that’s the way I like it baby I don’t want to live forever”
Isn't it, "You know I'm born to lose"?
@@jmhaces shit, yeah I fucked that up lol, shouldn’t day drink and comment.
And he was true to his words
Another pioneering sound that bridged genres in the 80's 90's is Ministry.
Lemme was responsible for 1/3 of Jack Daniels sales.
He stopped drinking JD and cola when he got diabetes. He switched to a more healthy drink of vodka and juice.
I believe it honestly.
Frank Sinatra called Jack Daniel's "A Man's Drink".
I think that number may be kinda low but I feel what you're saying...
@@darkiee69 wrong
If i remember correctly he got Diagnosed with Diabetes in the early 2000s but kept Drinking his favorite drink JD n Coke
He switched to Vodka n OJ late in his life when he started getting very ill like in late 2013 till he passed away in 2015
So badass!!!!!!!! So RAW!!!!! Lemmys got the vocals of a prince of darkness in a good way!!!! RIP Lemmy!!!! Good adrenalin
❤️🤘❤️🍺🤘
I first saw Motorhead, Dundee Caird Hall (Scotland). That was way back in 1980, so loud my ears are still ringing some 42 years later!
Here to mention Jinjer again for female Friday. Start with Pisces live session
Oh dear.. that may be too much for them
@@Sherralyn won’t know till they try lol
Actually depending on the song, maybe not too much. They have a subtle funkyness to them
"The only thing you see
You know it's gonna be
The Ace of Spades"
However much you gamble, whatever you do with your life, it all ends in death. That's the message!
Lemmy played his bass like a guitar and always sang head up. Motörhead - The Game, that is the theme song of Triple-H
Lemmy started as a guitar player in his first band. One night their bass player didn't show up to a gig, so Lemmy grabbed the guy's bass and played it. So began the legend that is Lemmy.
Lots of singers raise their head when singing. It helps with their breathing. One of the all time great vocalists, Brad Delp was another who sang with the mike above their mouth
@@jeremeybritton2129 th-cam.com/video/PfgycAOT0KI/w-d-xo.html
Motorhead also did triple H's king of kings and evolution themes
@@martinkulkarni3569 Yet another one. He sang like hat so he is looking up and not into the audience. Try reading or watching an interview on the subject.
"I know that their energy is like, so up there" AMEN TO THAT, great reaction vid cheers.
i like how he's speculating in the beginning this may be in the rock genre and i'm thinking to my self "he has no idea what he's in for".
you guys are great!
Since you enjoyed this one, you should react to Motorhead - Overkill. The percussion is insane!
Motörhead are amazing! I was lucky enough to see the “Ace of Spades” Motörhead live a few times and they were fcking monsters! Also met Lemmy who was a super nice guy. He is really missed. 🏴☠️
Deaf Forever, Killed By Death and Brotherhood of Man are some great Motorhead songs to check out.
Deaf Forever, my fav Motorhead song 😎🤘
The lead singer was known as Lemmy and he was Heavey Metal personified and was much loved and respected by Metal fans and the his peers around the world. He lived the real rock 'n' roll life style and was areal character. I implore you to listen to one of his interviews. It's fantastic that his music (which he only ever called Rock'n'roll) is still having an impact on a new generation.
I had a radio cassette alarm clock in the 80's and this is what woke me. Lemmy is a nice refresher in the am.
"Who would win in a fight between Lemmy and God"? Love that part of Airheads
Lemmy started as Jimi Hendrix's guitar tech. LEMMY IS GOD!!!!
And apparently also his LSD dealer. Legend.
1-2-3-4!
Watching this makes me appreciated this song all over again! Motorhead have been my favorite band for years. I played AoS so many times that I grew tired of it.
Lemmy's voice is in a higher register than most. His gravel was not for everyone, but he could write great music an lyrics!
Motorhead were far more popular in Europe, but finally gained fame in the US by the late 90s. They became a bigger draw here towards their end.
I understand that the song Ace of Spades can get tiring but to help u on that I suggest u listen to the rest of their Discography brother I'm sure you'll find new favorites
Rob, trust me, they will grow on you! Pure power!!!!
Lemmy's voice is gritty and awesome the band is great saw them in 92' in little rock !!!
They are the first speed metal band. Listening to this song while driving makes you just want to push that pedal down.
They would have hated the term "Speed Metal" but they sure got through a lot of speed. Lemmy often said it was not so much recreational as a practicality to keep up with the touring schedule. "Dropped another handful, to keep us on the road" as one of their early lyrics put it.
“We are Motörhead. We play rock and roll.” 🤘🏽🎸
@@jamesmeek3475 True, but they were the first band to play fast and hard like this. More bands started doing this type of rock and it became known as speed metal. You ask any of those bands and they will say they hail Motorhead as the band they look up to and strive to be as great as they were. Losing Lemmy was a very sad day in rock history.
Motorhead "The Game"
Was HHH walk out theme. Should have used it for all the "Saw" movies theme song.
You should check out Queens Ryche, Operation Mind Crime, I don't Believe in Love, Silent Lucidity, or the song called Someone Else
Silent Lucidity is a great one.
Take hold of the Flame
Most powerful voice of rock history. Powerful song!!!
I don't know what it is about this song, but loads of people who don't like rock/metal or anything even slightly heavy still love this song. One of my favourites by Motorhead is "Deaf Forever", great riff.
You guys should really check out Eddie Van Halen’s Eruption solo.
Yup the GOAT of guitar solos, Sorry David Gilmour XD.
@@Oldblues4 Please don't forget Yngwie Malmsteen, Not taking anything away from the other great guitarists. This guy was a genius as well.
You’re so right and I have said that to them too! Hopefully they have seen it and hopefully it’s on its way💕🤘🏼🌻
@@giarogers Oh yes also Vai, Satriani the list could be endless so many great players.
@@Oldblues4 Great artists/guitarists. Loved Stevie Vai as well. Awesome with David Lee Roth when he split from Van Halen.
This week for "Female Friday" please react to Halestorm's "Love Bites".
Lemmy loved gambling .He was addicted to fruit machines and always had one in his dressing room
'Lemmy' - 'Lem- me a quid' apparently was where his nickname came from (lend me a pound)
My favorite band. Since I first heard this song in 1983. I have tears in my eyes. I miss Lemmy.
So cool to see you two listening with open ears and reacting to this song and digging it.. I grew up with this band and still love hearing it. You guys are cool and do a great job.
A good mellower Motörhead song is "God was never on your side."
