"tell them to shove it, boy.
Jimi Hendrix did alright"
Good enough to frame this in my wall lol
Yeah lol
Lemmy would know, he was one of Jimi's roadies.
I lold hard when he said that fuckin jimmy legend of rock c'mon few have passed him many still try love what you wish dislike dont hate anything
Better quote than that, Live, laugh love shit 😂😂
Weirdly enough, Lemmy wasn't one to pussy foot around the issue at hand. Straight to the point. Fuck em
"Screw 'em, do what you want."
Best advice I ever heard.
I wanted to like this but you're at 420 likes 😂
Thats my motto
I want to mutilate people
good advice also for pedophiles, thieves, murderers, dictators and other selfish scum...
@@ShootRapids lol
I love how you can see the expression change on his face when he reads further in and realizes the kid is genuinely asking for his help and advice.
Yep, love that he also said he'd write him a letter
There are mortal men and then there are legends. Lemmy was the ultimate rock dude and still he had a heart of gold. It'll be a long time before the world sees another one like him.
@@47279J if we ever see one like him ever again
I love seeing Lemmy call bullshit on racism, from any group.
That shift in mode is legit one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my entire life - TH-cam or otherwise.
As a 20 year old black guy who’s into racing, dirt bikes and anything metal, it’s hard being around my family knowing they look down on me for my tastes and the things I like. But I just bought an electric guitar and I’m not gonna give up my passion for metal because of my skin color. I’ll gladly blast Metal till the day I die no matter what anyone says 🤘🏾
Hell yeah brother! 🤘🏾
Next time they criticize your taste....just play the Motorhead song Orgasmatron...loud enough for them to hear it.... just to rub it in!....😊
Would they like you more if you were into rap/hippety hoppity, or hood gangstah, black supremacy?
Would seem a bit twisted then.
You have one life. Conforming to fit what others think you should be will eat at you and you will find it hard to be happy and fulfilled. Live your life my friend and follow your own path.
Tell em to pound sand! You got your own taste
Love how his only objection is the kid not mentioning Motörhead
U know he was joking. He wouldn't have received a letter if he wasn't a fan. Lol
Lemmy's chill like that.
"You started playing at 10 and a half? OK, fine. You're Black and you like metal? OK, fine. You didn't mention my band in your letter? Oh, that's messed up."
:)
David Gooding stir the pot much 😂😂
Ahh the power of propaganda.. 😂
The way he said it was hilarious though, "no motorhead I see", very banterish and "I really don't care lol", he genuinely didn't even care, probably because Motorhead went without saying. (why the fuck would he even write him that letter if he wasn't)
“I’ll write you a letter man because you might not be watching the TV”
Man he really did think a lot about others.
No man should think a lot of others.
Kendrick Carroll lmao imagine being a decent human being and trying to respond to fans who write to you because they look up to you lmao what a loser
No one's writing letters to Kendrick :(
@@smokyquartz5817 no one should, look at what a miserable piece of garbage he is
Did you not hear the last bit? He was slinging shade. “Because it might have white people on it”
In less than 2 minutes, Lemmy nailed down race relations perfectly.
Yes I'm so triggered by this I'm a 40somethn black woman who loves rock since the 80s but my family wud mock me break my cassettes and claim that I wanted to be white..even punishment if you know what I mean..wish I had his views then grateful for them now..get it Grateful...lol
@@phoniexpretty9967 you’re family is very brainwashed to think rock is white music
@@phoniexpretty9967 Damn, that is some bullshit they put you through! It's good that you persevered. In situations like this, I'm glad I wasn't born in a place so racialized like the USA. Here in Brazil, if you're black and like rock and metal, people might just think you're weird (due to the music itself), but they know race has nothing to do with it. None of that "that ain't Black-like" BS.
Thank you so much and may u n ur family be safe and blessed
665 upvotes, i basicly had to like that comment
As a black male in his early 20s, I like any type of music. Race doesn’t matter. Hell, my favorite band is The Beatles
Be yourself my friend.
ever checked out queen ? if you havnt then do it and thank me later
@@imbetterthanyouis dude, I love Queen. They’re my second favorite band
@@starmancrusader right on mate
Best part is, much like Elvis, The Beatles were very inspired by black led music, whether it be rhythm n blues, motown, you name it, they wanted to recreate the sound to the best of their ability.
Now whether they achieved the sound successfully is in the ears of the beholder, but just know their music holds no boundaries as to who should listen it. They made it for everyone everywhere to enjoy and appreciate.
I like to imagine kids sending Lemmy letters like they would to Santa
He’s the Santa of metal.
Instead of presents or coal, Lemmy gives them either rippin’ metal to listen to jam to or a fist to the face.
I'm the 666th like.
I finally made that happen for once.
Metal.
At least he was real 😅
Imma Tell my kids this is Santa
Didnt South Park do that with Slash? 😂
I'm a Black metalhead, too, and I'm 67 years old.I loved Dio!
Dio awesome
I love Dio too🤘
A man with taste!
Right on brother, Dio was for all of us, metal is for all of us.
I seen them in Belfast in the airbreak about 15 years ago 🤘. Couldnt believe it was dio. That's very rare in Ireland. Especially somewhere so small.
In less than two minutes, Lemmy demonstrates just how ridiculous racism is. Not just that but he offers a solution. I laughed when he talked about humans becoming 'coffee-ish'. Brilliant answer.
"Well women usually have more sense than men" this man was truly a king
As a black dude who listens almost exclusively to rock, I’m telling people to shove it All. The. Time. 😂👍
Good for you! I’m white and besides rock I absolutely love old jazz (bebop, cool, post bop, etc) and blues. Music knows no race or gender and the sooner people realize that, the sooner we’ll all just be able to peacefully enjoy the music. Keep being yourself, man!
Rock on, dude. So many white people are into hip hop and rap then why the hell should a black man be given crap for enjoying rock and metal? People make me shake my head.
I love blues and jazz. I'm a white chick. If we all liked the exact same thing or only followed what the "masters" think we should it would be a terribly dull world
Same bruh don’t worry about what others think of you listening to rock I listen to rock and metal too
Good. I'm black and people still give me weird looks (both white and black people) when I say I listen to metal and rock and classical music. Why is it that people don't make a big deal about white people being heavily into rap right now, but when a black person says he likes rock it's like he or she said a dirty word lol.
METAL IS ONLY ONE COLOR AND THAT IS THE COLOR OF BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
I thought metal was like a shiny grey but ok
@Tommy445 yeah like copper or like a bronze
@Nick Chivers probably tastes like blood
@@nickchivers851 not if the metal is covered in red sir. 😂
*slow metal music starts playing*
Lemmy led a very hedonistic life, but he was a brilliant and very forward-thinking man. Honest and genuine, nothing fake about him. Rest in Peace 🙏
The first rockers were black, Jackie Brenston, Louis Jordan, Jimmy Preston, and Rosetta Tharpe were some of the first people to bring on the Rock and Roll. The entire genre owes its history to gospel and blues music, popularized by black musicians across the United States. Hell, Jimi Hendrix was mentioned, and that man is an absolutely revered rock and roller. This genre of music has always welcomed those who want to paint it black, and always will.

The 1st "rock-n-roll" single. Change my mind
@@brettrobbins2446 "Change my mind" Listen to "Rock The Joint" by Chris Powell, e.g.
Yeah all music is inspired by diffrent cultures, there is no one true origin point for anything.
Lemmy was a roadie for Hendrix as well, so he might have known a thing or two about the matter.
"Should you be penalized for bringing people joy? Screw em! Do what you want!"
Simple, sensible, and the most punk rock approach possible.
this was really good, I'm even writing it down to remember
@Shin Shaman I clicked on your channel. I didn't know what I was in for, every one of your videos are negative. If you hate so many things then perhaps it would be easier to make a video on what you DO like. But your videos are so cringy and embarrassing I think your joking. I do agree with you though I hate metal. But believe it or not people get pleasure from it and making fun of peoples favorite things is just pointless fuss. Also you seem to take very popular franchise and hate on it. Believe it or not some mainstream popular thing are actually good, and your tastes are totally subjective. In conclusion your either:
1. Joking (I hope or you need to be put somewhere)
2. Attention seeking (High chance)
3. Being serious
And a true woke, not fake woke like we have going on.
The word woke is right wing gibberish because Faux News viewers can't spell enlightened....
Lemmy just gave zero fucks. That's why he got kicked out of Hawkwind for doing the wrong sort of drugs, that's why he got out of the midlands hole he grew up in, and that's why he only died when forced to stop drinking.
I'm pretty sure the coke he mixed his JD in is what did the most harm. The fizzy brown variety, not the white powdery sort.
"Tell'em to shove it, boy!
Jimi Hendrix did alright remember?"
Rip Lemmy, a true Metal God
Edit: Thanks for all the thumbs ups! To the naysayers Lemmy said it best "Screw'em if they can't handle ya. Tell'em go to Hell!"
My first time seeing Motorhead was when they opened for Dio and Iron Maiden.
this is at 666 likes, I'd like it to remain that way
Nobody is going to beat Jimi Hendrix
Fast forward only 7 months and its now at 32,000

Lemmy was the very " Incarnation " of " Rock`n`Roll ". He was honest, intelligent, talented......and just simply an outstanding human being. R.I.P.....you`re missed.
Since the era of the twitter mob, honest rockers have become an endangered species..
And that Rock'n'Roll is about everyone having a good time. Rock shouts but it's about tolerance and pleasure, not hatred and oppression.
@@davidjames579Well said.
@@taintofgreatness Thanks! That feeling of elation that Rock creates is infectious and freeing. And free to all.
you forgot one thing: he was true to himself
"Screw 'em, do what ya want". words to live by. Don't let anyone tell you how to live. At the end of the day there's only one you, don't waste by trying to be someone else.
I’m a black girl who’s been playing guitar and had a band for a minute, my black friends used to think I was weird, but I don’t care metal is in my soul ☺️🤙🏾
Keep doing your thing🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Stig Weard yooo you’re an angel ! I love finding new bands to listen to 🤙🏾
Hapisky Thank you ✊🏾🤙🏾
Honey Minnie rock on sister.
Links to your songs?
I feel like all of Lemmy's advice could probably be distilled to, "Screw 'em. Do what you like."
Fknghell!
Lemmy's point >>>>>>>>>>>> You're understanding of what he said.
If you went back in time and told Lemmy that, he'd shake your hand
... and isn't he f*ckin' right?!?
Its what Liberl Loons do and say, they want a total freek show clown world.
Fk Lemmy
Yep, that about sums it up for life.
A hard pill to swallow is that social unwritten rules are the things that make life hard and get you in situations like this for no reason other than to preserve themselves.
If you're not causing harm to fellow humans, you should be free to do what you want.
I hope the young man that wrote that letter found peace. And to Lemmy, your legend rocks on.
I am an African male in my 30's now. Growing up around mostly minorities, Asians, Arabs and other Africans, everyone was always trying to push the rap thing on me because I was black. But I was never really into music until I reached high school. I still remember the day I listened to my first hard rock/heavy metal song. It was during recess on my friend's mp3. He made me listen to Scorpions' Rock You Like a Hurricane. Then and there I knew what my musical genre was. Fast forward some 16 years later, that was one of the best decisions I made in my life.
My advice to a black person who enjoys this genre is do not listen to what they say. If they tell you this genre isn't for black people just remind them that the roots of hard rock/heavy metal goes back to the 30's and the pioneers were actually black musicians. And if they insist to bother you, just turn the other cheek and enjoy doing you. Once they realise they can't get to you, and that there is nothing they can do to change your mind, they'll leave you be.
this is a beautiful comment
Scorpions!!! Me too, that's when I knew what's right for me, as a matter of fact I was listening to "in your park" before this video popped up , I forgot what a gem that song is ... and yellow raven is right up there with it 💛
There's no accounting for taste, so when people try to force you to like certain music, sometimes the only truthful answer is "It's boring"
This. Blues and Jazz were the grandfathers of rock n' roll in the 50's and by transitive property, the great grandfathers of classic rock and metal. People forget so easily when they don't know the history - blues and jazz were primarily black created music genres and the guitar and play style spawned early rock n' roll which lead to Stones, CCR and others that also led to classic rock and metal. Black people created the entire rock genre and every sub genre. It's mind boggling that people don't know this.
shame on them for assuming your interests bc of the color of ur skin. we need more black rockers! let black kids be whoever they wanna be and that includes heavy metal rockstars
You can see it in his face how it hurts him when he reads about the kids own dad not supporting him :/
He was and still is a gentle soul. Wherever he roams ppl having a lot more fun now over there.
Of course. It pissed him off that even his own dad would ostracize him just because of the music he listens to. But I hope the kid got to see this and felt the support.
I bet he lived through similar situations.
@@Darkko88 He did. Lemmie's dad was a minister and they clashed all the time. I'm sure that letter brought back some unhappy memories for him.
Lem had a lot of problems with his dad too.

As I white guy I love jazz and blues, most of them performed by amazing musicians who are black. I'm not much into rap but I respect it's culture. So why can't a black person shouldn't enjoy rock and metal? Music has no boundaries and art unifies people, whether its black or white, eastern or western. Just enjoy the music you love and enjoy it with the people you bond regardless of skin color.
When music gets you there's no stopping you. Nobody can tell you what music to like or dislike, just as they can't tell you who you who to fall in love with.
Blacks nowadays would call Herbie Hancock, Coltrane or Miles David “white people music” because everything that lacks nigga word thrown around in every verse, rhymes and talking about money can’t be black people music
"You cannot be just one colour."
Lemmy, you were too good for this world.
"Tell 'em to shove it. jimi Hendrix did alright, 'member?" - Almost put a tear in my eye,
Elijah Love he did more than alright , best guitarist that ever will be past present or future
yah then he was killed off
ND 27 the guy was talented but that’s a bit of a stretch c’mon dude
ROTTEN ROBB it’s not , subjectively look at it , see that he done things no one ever did before, check out music is win he done a video on it, great video, everyone has their own opinion , so many great players over the years. The sentiment of the sentence still carries in regards to what lemmy said, he done alright didn’t he, he done better than alright
@@ND-lg6wd guys guys calm down we all know Craig from Slipknot is the goat. (Obviously a joke)
"Jimi Hendrix did alright" - ( Lemmy was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix )
Really? I didn't know that.
@@lb8965 yup - he sure was. He fell into the gig because he was sleeping on the floor of another one of Jimi's roadies - and when they needed another pair of hands he'd help out. He used to source Jimi's drugs too.
Let's not forget the roots of rock... a southern black cat named Robert Johnson! Shit, the legend goes that he literally came to a crossroads and decided to sell his soul to The Devil so he can play a mean guitar. If you look at old photos of Johnson, one eye always seems to be looking to his side. As if watching and waiting for Lucifer to collect his debt! If that ain't badass metal lore, then fuck off! Even the Cartoon Network series METALOCALYPSE paid tribute to Robert Johnson for a full episode....🇵🇷🇺🇸😎😊
The blues is basically the source of all rock and roll we have today.
Might I also put forth Phil Lynott, and Lenny Kravitz?
As someone myself who was born and raised on metal and rock i am black and native American mixed and i never let anyone or anything stop me from being me!! I dont care what anyone else likes or thinks...this man was amazing for that 🖤🙏🤘
I really like how Lemmy read reading the letter and said "Wait a minute!" as he got serious. His final response to the young man was nothing short of excellence and class.
0:26 "Jimi Hendrix did alright, remember?"
Fun fact for anyone not in the know: Lemmy met Jimi when he was a cabbie and then got a job as a roadie for Hendrix for a while.
Jimi shared some acid with Jimi back in the day, they are both great men
Yeah the song (we are the) road crew is about his time as a roadie for Jimi 🤘
Another cue for super glue. We are the road crew! 😎
@@michaelmira-lopez1660 it's about the Mötorhead crew, Lemmy mentioned the fact that one of the members of the crew cried when they first showed the song off (if you want to read the full account get yourself a copy of White Line Fever, would recommend). His time working with Hendrix was clearly impactful but in the book if he says that he didn't mix with Jimi himself too much, nor was he part of his private life.
@@lexbeltran1354 whoa, so he shared acid with himself? That's sick, pal!
Lemmy was 100% correct. The whole "us versus them" attitude needs to end for the sake of humanity!!!
It needs to be us versus what ever the fuck is gonna happen....
Especially nowadays because they think black people can't be racist....
@@melvinjansen2338 Anyone can be racist, but white people currently can't experience racism the way Blacks, Native Americans, or Hispanics do. The system of oppression just doesn't exist for white people. Not saying white people don't work hard or haven't worked hard, just the color of their skin hasn't challenged their life in any significant way. I mean consider that if my sister or mother were to go missing or be murdered, there is no statistic or record keeping body that shows how many missing or murdered indigenous women have actually gone missing. But there's a number for literally everyone else. Nobody knows how many native women have gone missing or have been murdered throughout North America.
@@psychologicaltirefire8190 there is no racism written in the western system. And nobody knows how many whites have gone missing. I took some from people who didn't go to the police and I hid them well.
Moron... You need to stop the group thinking if you are from the west. Have some logic
@@psychologicaltirefire8190 the only systemic racism I see is affermative action
I did not expect that reaction. Not only a metal god, but a decent human being as well. RIP Lemmy!
I'm going to show this to my colleagues at work at a Civil Rights agency. They often are shocked at my hardcore tastes, my past as a retire fighter, while I fight for the right of everyone to party regardless of perceived differences.
We all have blindspots, and for many people who say they want Equality, they can't see how they contribute to division by viewing anyone not believing exactly as they do to be an other. I try to help people understand that, while always trying to improve my own ability to act without too much bias.
In school I was a long haired metalhead, but also a D&D nerd, and in advanced classes. At lunch I'd be hanging with my buddies in leather and denim jackets, sneaking joints, and then back in class with all the Preppies. I noticed that both of my friend groups had misconceptions about the other, and both about me too.
That reminded me of how I vaguely felt living on an old farm during the week and then in the city on the weekends for 1st few years of life, and then later it was Hicktown USA during school year and Philly suburbs all summer.
Don't let anyone force you into representing an entire group of people they are lumping together. Keep thinking and keep talking to one another People. And F them All if they can't handle you for that. \m/
Seems ironic that a Civil Rights Agency would be shocked by your right to preference.

Little Richard was one of Lemmy's heroes, and he was not only black, but also gay.
He fought through the discrimination and became one of the biggest influencers in rock history.

@@jasonteqja7262 He had flings with the ladies, but no, I reckon he was gay. He had a big problem fighting between his sexuality and his faith and bounced between the two all his life.
"Bisexual" often means "unwilling to accept you're gay".
Little Richard... there was a segment done on the midnight special in the 70’s where he started off saying he was the real king of rock and roll... I was a kid and I thought no way! Elvis all the way! Then I listened as he laid out his argument...I will always remember that as an enlightening and educational experience! The love of music is truly a gift!

I am an african-american man and I've loved rock and metal since the "80s. I blast my music whenever I want cause it's my music. If the music speaks to your soul and fuels your motivation, then enjoy it and play it proudly.
I'm with you brother. I'm a white man, but I listen to all types of music. Loved 80's metal, then I joined the Army. My room mate was a black guy from D.C. He loved to rap. That's when I started listening to rap music. Love 80's & 90's rap.
Amen, I’m white and British yet I think the two most revolutionary acts in history are the Sex Pistols and NWA, colour doesn’t come into it, it’s how they said it and how they inspired armies of people to pick up guitars and mics.
Fucking preach brother
Rock was originally Black People’s music. No need to be ashamed. Rock on 🤘
Dont matter where music comes from. If it sounds good,go with it! I honestly think a touch of soul in metal is an untapped resource. Look at seven dust.

Reality is, music has no colour. People create these divisions. Which is utterly sad. But I'm still going to play whatever TF I want!
Petty people create those divisions, because those divisions give them a way to define themselves without having to actually put any effort into being unique and interesting.
.
It's actually kind of funny, because it's the same BS no matter the gender, orientation, or skin tone. You'll find people like that in every group. It's kinda sad that there are people out there who would rather define themselves by stereotypes instead of just being a person.
@@InfernosReaper Facts. We let out out identify determine our views in effort to just belong to a group instead of our views define our identify.
Well said my friend
Colour shouldn't have any bearing on anything, including music.
Very true, nothing really has what people call "identity". We as humans are who define, classify, segregate and compartmentalize with our limited knowing and understanding.
Everyone here has a point and instead of defining ourselves by what we are (race, gender, sexuality, etc) we should make something of ourselves to create who we are.
Have you seen Wu Tang Klans record collection 🤣😂🤣😂😎👍🏾🤜🏾
That is lovely. What a legend. Whether you dig his music or not, there's a lot of wisdom and love in this man's words. Legend.
Never knew who Lemmy was before, but I'll always have a piece of him thanks to my copy of Brutal Legend. Rest easy man, you made the gods of metal proud.
It's so hard to imagine someone not knowing who Lemmy was 😅
@@sjthjsdreadfather4867I was born in 2001 and never knew who he was until very recently despite being a metal head. Sadly, Motorhead never got shown to me earlier on in my life. Although I think it should have been.
I love how he pauses when thinking about addressing the guys Dad. Lemmy's own father walked out on the family when he was only a child, that was a very real moment for him when he gave that advice. The world lost someone wonderful when he died.
Yeah I miss this dude so much. He is a legend forever immortalized through his music.
MoosicDude interesting insight
Ttt
who now?
And when it was time for him to go and he knew it, he just said "fuck it" and went on his terms. Truly a legend.
As a fellow black metal fan, I wish I’d discovered this earlier. I got hell through high school from not just some of my peers but some of my own family for liking rock and metal. My own mother even said “You’re black,” when she caught me listening to DIO. Lemmy is an absolutely legend and he’s so right. Music has no colour.
Fuck, that's rough. "You're black" - what does that even mean? That you're only allowed to listen to rap? What a completely idiotic mindset ... not to mention racist, really.
"No, you're not allowed to like this music, this music is for white people"
That's such a fucked up thing to even consider ... no wonder this shit just refuses to die.
Anyway, sounds like you ended up sticking to it in the end. All power to you, and happy to share this thing with you, random internet stranger.
The irony there to me is historicaly Rock and Metal have their roots in Black American culture. Jazz and Blues were mostly black people music back in the day and it evolved into rock, quite a bit thanks to Elvis who was raised in the deep south with many Black neighbors and friends and Hendrix, who was heavily infulenced by Blues music.
Music has no colour.
We aren't confined to one type of music or another based off skin color. That's the great thing about music, it can bring us together. Keep rocking ✌
@Shin Shaman By your statement we can put to rest the idea that some people are indeed born without taste or common sense.
Metal is for everyone. Doesn't matter the color of your skin or your gender or whatever else. It's the fact we love this music. That's what matters. So come with me my fellow Metal Heads and let's get this circle pit going!!! 🤘😝🤘
im a black woman who listens to nothing but rock music, my father hates it. I told him to shove it, i'm now a muscian with a rock band that tours all over the world. currently in japan on a rock tour !!
Rock on!
What's the name of your band?
You're lying!! 😂
Yoo mad props! Go get'em!😆😆
Peace from germany!😆😆✌
“I told him to shove it” is the most metal phrase I’ve heard on the internet
I'm a black, southern, female, and I was metal since day one! Luckily, no one gave a damn. But anyone who is out there, reading this, who feels alone, you're not. Being true to yourself, only way to happiness. Like what you like.
Love!
Ride on Sister🇮🇪
hell yeah
Anyone with pleasures and behaviours "agains stereotypes" always makes me smile, like you at this moment :D
thank you
I was that very kid, that wrote to Lemmy.
When I heard that Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister passed away, I was in a catatonic state, but whenever I look back on this, I kinda tear up, but he was someone who I looked up to, during the times I was in a metal band.
I wish I could have done better & I shouldn't have not let people, bring me down.
The good part now is that I live & work here on Maui, and I have been doing this here for 22 years.
Lemmy, I wish I could have thanked you for the swift kick in the ass, I hope that you are Resting In Power and in Metal.
In the meantime...
Peace & Aloha from the 808 side of Maui,HI ✌️✌️✌️✌️🤙🤙🤙🤙
That was you?!?
God bless you man! Keep rocking, horns up!!
Doubt it. HIGHLY DOUBT IT!
That's awesome man! Did you ever get that letter?
Just wow, man! He inspired me too, from a long distance...
Metal heads can have such a bad reputation, then you hear something so wise and supportive like this... Makes me proud to be a metal head ^_^
I've never met this man but I'll never forget him
Lemmy was a great dude, his blunt honesty being one of his finer qualities, he once hand wrote me a personal apology, still have it.
My favorite Lemmy responses were to questions posed to him in the documentary "Decline of the Western Civilization, part II" when he was asked,
"what do you think about all these 'pretty boy' bands?"
His reply, '"best of luck to 'em, sure wish I was pretty."
"what do you think about these bands ripping off your (Motorhead's) sound?"
his reply, "maybe one day they'll write something I can steal from them."
I miss that old codger.
See, that's a top bloke. No need to put others down.
Lemmy wrote you a personal apology?! Please elaborate.
@@desh79 It had to do with a song he wrote called "Lost Johnny" and former band mate of his from Hawkwind.
Lmao those are amazing answers.
One of the best interviews I've ever seen with him was right around the time that Judas Priest were being sued by the families of the two young men who supposedly listened to "Better By You, Better Than Me" then committed suicide.
Lemmy said of this, "If you really think a kid listens to a track and then blows his brains out, stop and think about all the kids who listened to the track... and didn't."
As a black metal head myself, this makes me smile. I hope other black people who like metal or rock see this.
As an european I really could'nt frame this as a real situation and really makes me sad, I can't understand why people should even care about this, is there an explanation to this phenomenon?
@@gabriele0149 Psychologically speaking, it’s probably a break from the norm. Similar to “nerds” being separated from other school kids because they like a different form of media or have other, more scientific interests. It’s really sad when you think about it, because the last thing that should separate us is music, but it’s not only music. It’s also videogames, tv/movies and sometimes even sports. I don’t know why there’s such a divide however. But it might be because of low self esteem in the black American community.
With that said, I will say I’m luckier than most because my parents never wanted me be one dimensional, but I did encounter this sort of treatment at school and even college. I was seen as weird for liking anime, and enjoying metal, or something as simple as wearing a ponytail lol. I also liked to dress nicely on Fridays (like a suit and tie) and even that was considered weird.
Now that I talk about it, it’s probably more of an American thing than anything else. I just wish I wasn’t a thing at all. As i said, those small things are the last things we need to keep us apart. Especially now.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience man!
I tried to write a more comprehensive reply to you comment but in the end I deleted it and have gone for fucking well said.
@@gabriele0149 lol no problem!
That's like when whites started to rap, not only did their own race criticize them but also the blacks since they felt it was theirs. Music belongs to no race, color, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. It belongs to everyone no matter where you come from. If you like it and it makes you happy then go for it. Now just because you like it doesn't mean you have to follow the culture behind it. Like in rap, you don't have to be a straight up gangster from the ghetto to like it, just like in metal it's the same, you don't have to be this hardcore thrashing anarchists to like it. Just do what you love, listen to what you like and ignore anyone trying to bring you down.
Nailed it
Yeah but rap isn't music. It's sampled and looped noise with untalented cunts blabbing about money and bitches.
It's possible to honor the origins of a musical genre while also sharing it to new audiences who can adapt it to their own styles and in turn help create more wonderful sounds that we can all enjoy. Idiots will turn anything into an argument about xyz-ism and all that stupid lower-level thinking - ultimately if you are making good music and peace loving person, those notions don't even befall the mind. It's a tricky situation when ignorant fools try to project their own evil thoughts onto someone who doesn't play that game - pearls before swine, in that scenario. Best to not even stay around those types of devilish actors, trying to smudge everything around them so they don't feel alone in their misery.
This man will always be a treasure
Racism has to be the most futile thing humanity ever invented, well done Lemmy for his enlightened attitude
RIP
Correction... racism was created by europeans... then they indoctrinated the rest of the world with their racism by defining cultures of people by their skintone and "race". You have the Greeks and Roman's to thank for that. Not the rest of the world
@@MetaphysicalShaMan
Wow😂
@@MetaphysicalShaMan racism isn’t just white on black there’s so many types of people with different types of prejudices
@@MetaphysicalShaMan ever heard of ancient egypt?
@@6thwardshugg334 ancient Egyptians assimilated others, pure and simple, they didn’t discriminate based on race, they didn’t care. As long as you were part of the empire you were one of them for better or worse. Although not right, it’s not the same as racism.
The guy is correct, Europeans started racism and spread it to the world. Pretending otherwise or trying to get excuses just makes it seem like you’re trying to defend it to some degree. It’s not nice to try and pin that to the rest of humanity either.
But that should not prevent us to come together as one and fight to make the world a better place.
Coffee colored man here who loves metal. Lemmy is right about one thing, we overcome this by making love, not war.
Yeah man music is for everyone
than there still would be sexism.... lenght of your hair and other body proportions. And if we'd all look the same, it would be about where you're from. He said ''you can't win there''. Making love to a girl some poor bastard is in love with, he will look at you and say, its the guy from ... or its the ... coloured guy, or its the gay one. You know, hate always has its causes and will find a way. The last thing you're really are able to, is making the difference yourself. Not to act that way, know when you lost and play fair if you win. And in the end know, that its not about color or some shit, its just about humans beeing nothing more than primates, overinterpretating there own doushiness.
Well i am romani or gypsie só i understand what it feels like when other from your Race or any other Race put you down but. I say them fuck off
Not sure I agree with "make love, not war" I'd take fucking (love) over fighting (war) any day. But, you're a fool if you think love, and never fighting is the answer to anything.
@@ColaMixx3000 well said
This is so awesome. It feels great to know that there are many black people out there who love metal too!
i still watch this over and over lol, what a great dude
I was in Highschool in the early 90s. This one time, we were using the cafeteria to practice for a talent show after school. Rock n Roll. Metal. A guy named Bobby, the biggest black dude in the school, came to the door with his friends (also large black dudes) and he shook the handle of the locked door and said "Let us in!". I told my guitar player, "Go let em in, Joey!" I sure as hell wasn't going over there. I was a wuss. Joey went and opened the door. They all came in slowly and quietly sat down at a lunch table. They watched us practice for the rest of the 45 minutes or so we had left. When we'd finished, Bobby came over and shook my hand. They loved it. He said we should do a rap/rock thing like Anthrax and Public Enemy. We've remained friends ever since. Music has no color. And it can bridge gaps wider than any ocean.
Was Bobby also the biggest blackest dude in the school though
Music is the great uniter.
@@naylik2562 He really needed to sell that part of the story 😂
@@CursedWheelieBin I remember Bobby. One time I was on my way to school and a bear tried to maul me. That was when Bobby came and punched that bear in the mouth and knocked it right out. Bobby fought Chuck Norris one time and it was a draw. 😂🤣
Oh god I miss those days! Anthrax & Public Enemy, Areosmith & Run DMC, Biohazard & Onyx, plenty of examples of black folks meshing with rock.
I'm a Metalhead black girl , been one since I was 3 years old and I'd like to thank Metallica for that 🤣 , there were times when other black kids in school would bully me, but I had noticed it wasnt any white kids bullying me about listening to rock and metal it was only the black kids and I also found other black kids like me that enjoyed rock and metal and that comforted me and it helped me to realize that I shouldn't feel ashamed for what I like, music has no color! And it also helped me to stick up for others of color on this matter who felt ashamed and felt they needed to hide who they were. Music should bring people together not separate people. Do what you love and surely listen to what you love🧡🤟🏿
Back in my day, it was difficult to be taken seriously as a metal fan if you were a woman. Horns up, friend! \m/
Skin color is no different than any other physical feature. Your race shouldn't dictate who you are. The whole "my people" mentality is so dumb. Don't get why after a history of alienating people based on their skin color, we STILL want to do it ourselves.
@@unholydiver1095 Exactly! I never could understand that either!
I had the same experience as a teen in the late 80's.Thankfully, I had 2 other Black female friends who also loved metal(we were ARMY brats living in Germany). It's sad how cruel we treat each other over the silliest things.
Music has no color, and if metal does have a color, it's as black as it is anything else. It derives from black music -- rock and blues -- and arguably the first guy really playing what became metal was Jimi Hendrix. And women are making some of the greatest metal around these days. Metal is as much yours as it is anyone's.
Man I watch this video a couple times every year. Never gets old.
I love this video too, makes me even more proud of my Hero Lemmy!

It's not about liking or disliking the content man, it's all about the algorithm. Upvote for videos you want to see more of, downvote you want to see less of.
@@andrewford80 thats not even remotely how the algorithm works.
Those are the fuck everything police. you have the ones that just thumbs down everything no matter what it is. Then its a mixtures of black and whites thinking the kid should stay in his lane and only play "black" music and then you just have your racist Fucks.
I got into metal when I was a kid thanks to my mom and brother. They're not metal heads at all. My mom had 2 black sabbath and motley crue songs in her huge playlist. My brother introduced me to pantera, slayer, korn & and metallica. I'm glad to be an outsider. I never would have listened to such great music if I had become as narrow minded as the rest. Music is music. People telling others that they should only be listening to a certain type of music because of their race have the same mindset as the people who believe in segregation.
Not only does this make me love him more, it makes me want to hang out with the dude who wrote the letter.
Should you be penalized for giving people joy?

That's what I told cops when they busted me selling weed but they didn't give a fuck.

I was probably the only black face at a Motorhead concert in Newcastle on Tyne in the 1980's. One of the best nights ever but you know what? None of my white OR black friends were there with me.
You're either "metal" or you're not. Me?
Heavy Metal till I die.
EDIT: man, all these likes! Never expected such solidarity when I posted this. True Metalheads are a brotherhood beyond colour / politics and creed.

I had the same situation in the *Boro in 83. Whats worse is that now I am in my middle age and I tell the current crop of "metal-heads" that I followed Motorhead they act"surprised" THEY NEVER EVEN SEEN MOTORHEAD LIVE ...AND THEY ARE SURPRISED!...they have no idea about Lemmy and his influences. Jesus, the man was a roady for Hendrix! Wake-up people ...and lets not make any controversy of my liking of Deep Purples Ritchie Blackmore and his guitar work. Its taste not colour that matters. And frankly, I dont give a fuck what colour any one is until they make an issue of it.
WOW.
Hellyeah!🤘
I used to feel the same way when I was younger. I was the weird one in my family and in my friend group for liking the music I liked. I didn’t give a crap about what people say and neither should anyone else. Like whatever you like and do whatever the hell you want to do. Live your life and love the life you live 💛
just say that Rock is black music, created by black americans)
I’m a black girl and I love metal and classic rock I have for years
Fun fact: Lemmy actually roadied for Jimi Hendrix a little before setting off and making his own band.
Yeah he would get Hendrix acid and Hendrix would always give him a couple tabs and keep the rest for himself.

@Augustin Olivares I don't think he's attacking the kid, hes attacking the father. The father is an ass about the kid playing metal, Lemmys saying the father probably doesn't allow him to watch tv either because there's white people on it.
Pretty big assumption that he was being sarcastic.
Music doesn't care what colour ears are listening..
Yes exactly and that’s why
@Martin Morgan Might as well say screw it, no lives matter.
@Martin Morgan People protesting in blm have killed a few people including a little girl think about that. Did those people's lives not matter?

I know that kid's pain, although my parents were accepting of my love of metal, they just couldn't get into all of it. My mother still listens to metal with me at 82. Other people were the challenge for sure, and to this day I still get weird looks.
I went through that same hell growing up, & if I didn't have God & the sublime example of Hendrix & the true Kings of Rock like Little Richard & Chuck Berry I wouldn't have made it. The isolation & rejection made me stronger & it's great to see your detractors admit that you were right all along. Be true to yourself & it'll all come together in the end. Rock on Lemmy Rest in power & sheer brilliance ❤️
Reading the comments and knowing people who are black I can't believe the level of Racism that is within the Black/Christian (& Islamic) communities both here in Britain but MORE SO in the US! It's so hypocritical and IMMORAL its ridiculous!! I BET they Go to church on a Sunday and pretend to be Christians ASWELL God fearing and moral ASWELL lol 😂🤦🏻!!!?
Love whatever music you like! I was brought up (as a white English kid who's parents and upbringing wasn't RACIST! And 99% of white English people are NOT!) LISTENING to the music my parents listened to my dad especially, from everything from Ray Charles, Motown, Blues,Soul, Rock, 70s 80s Dance and Disco Music, Hendrix, Cream Clapton etc etc, and then myself started listening to the same music and also Hendrix Heavy Metal Heavy Rock etc..
I'm sick of HYPOCRISY IN SOCIETY! (& the black community!) At least here in England it's where you'll find racism or hate the most and the Muslim community..
White (Often Christian) British people are the least racist people in the world!
It's time that the people to complain about ending racism and having EQUALITY stopped Spreading hate, negativity and Stereotypes, separatism a trying to CAUSE racial Divides when there are NONE OR SHOULDN'T BE!
ELVIS sang "Black Gospel" music before anything else! Hendrix Played Rock /Metal he had taken a step further from The White English kids who took Black American Blues and appreciated the Music teh Black Americans overlooked! Clapton and the few of his era electrified the blues and reintroduced it back to Black and White Americans! Where it was a hit and they didn't even know it was there OWN BLACK MUSIC! THATS how stupid the situation is and that's what inspired Hendrix to take it a step further and develop it on to more Heavy Electric Rock Guitar being the Genius it was!
The Black community need to stop being hypocritical, using words they consider the ultimate in racism like the N word! - for anyone else to use (you KNOW what I'm talking about!) Stop fighting killing eachother of their own community and whites and then "playing victim" all the while spreading hate AGAINST anything that SOME misconceive NOT BLACK! It's a hypocritical, Woke, "victim" WARPED sick ideology! & Mentality and attitude! Double standards! You can't have EQUALITY and Rights of you perpetuate Racism YOURSELF!
ITS UTTER MADNESS! And it's RACIST and Promotes Racism Ignorance and Segregation!!
Ps. I have friends of ALL creeds colours and Religions BEFORE anyone tries to imply IM racist which is the usual response from the membes of the Black community who perpetrate these stereotypes and hate and Black people who don't like the TRUTH of their own racism and hypocrisy and are USUALLY the first ones to cry Racism and inequality!? IT'S RIDICULOUS! WE ARE ONE RACE THE HUMAN RACE!!
ANYONE who argues with this COMMON KNOWLEDGE AND TRUTH - Open your EYES OPEN YOUR MINDS!! (& LOOK HARD AND LONG AT YOURSELVES!)
FOR THOSE who DONT subscribe to these racist ideals the truly open minded Black or White kids or people like myself who don't discriminate, SPREAD the open mindedness! And Throw these truths at those who spread these immoral separatist racists hypocritical ideologies! Tell them this and SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY!!? (NOTHING that makes sense if ANYTHING!)

As a life-long metal and rock fan, I gladly welcome anyone to enjoy my favorite music with me. Reading some of these comments is honestly kinda heartbreaking, and it's not fair that some of you guys are, and were, picked on or judged for liking the same music as I do. Nobody deserves that.

Somewhere, in a perfect world, Lemmy does this in a daily 30 minute format...for both the living and the dead, reading the letters and listening to the problems of young fans and advising kids on both sides of the veil how to live their best, most authentic life(or afterlife)...without shame or apology, without giving up, giving out or giving in. Rock on, Lemmy.
