    Motorhead IS Rock 'N' Roll. They embodied everything great about it, the hedonism, the rebellion, the aggression. R.I.P. "Fast Eddie" Clarke, "Philthy Animal" Taylor, and, Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister.

    Lemmy was such a larger than life character. It was really eye-opening when I went and saw Henry Rollins do spoken word years ago, and he spoke very funnily but also very personally about his friendship with Lemmy in his last few years. There's a 30 minute clip on RUclips of one of his spoken word where he talks about Lemmy. It's pretty much the same as what I saw. It made me reconsider Lemmy in a new light. Endless respect for the guy. RIP.

They took what Motörhead did, played it faster, louder, rawer and filled it with Satanic lyrics to scare people. They are also credited with inventing/popularising the term "black metal". Recommended songs: Black Metal, Witching Hour, Heaven's On Fire. Slower songs like Welcome To Hell and Bathory are also interesting :).

      ​@@SoulSingerDiscoversVenom is a legend and pretty much they were starters of black metal. The name of their second album gave the whole genre the name. I like them Satanism and all included. They did not sound like black metal today, but hey, they started 1979. They had a strong punk flavor in their music and they were incredibly influential, be it for black metal, thrash, or whatever extreme metal came after them. They never became fame, but so were a lot bands in black metal that had a huge impact on metal, like Bathory.
      Definitely worth to check out. (Venom as well as Bathory, who also invented Viking Metal, their album "Twilight of the Gods" is a milestone and guess what - I wear a Bathory t-shirt regularly. Because I think Quorton, the head of Bathory, was an effing genius.)

    This song right here is the genesis of Thrash. It also popolarized the double bass drum for thrash. Lemmy was one of the onou guys who rockers and punks could agree on (those were some deep factions back in the 70s). Metallica's Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield bonded over their love of Motorhead when they first met. The song on their first album whiplash was them trying to write a Motorhead like song. Motorhead have so many amazing tracks no one knows about. Their 90s and 2000s albums have so many gems. Theyre worth a deep dive.

  • @HonkyTonkBuffalo

    I've saw Motorhead live dozens of times and they will always be one of my favorite bands.
    I was introduced to them on late Sunday night as I was watching The Young Ones on MTV, and they were the musical guest on that particular episode.
    Was blessed enough once, to actually Lemmy (Actually, I've met three different members of the band at different times), and he was truly one of the nicest guys I have ever met! He treated my brother, my friend and me with all kinds of respect, signing autographs and taking pictures with each of us. (I will take that memory with me to my grave!)
    I look at Motorhead as one of the most perfect metal/punk hybrids EVER! Respected and loved by both genera's.
    No they're not uber-technical like Dream Theatre, but their music is distinct and instantly recognizable. Lemmy's bass playing is almost eunique, as he plays chords instead of just keeping the rhythm with individual strings.
    I view them as both pioneers and the Godfathers of thrash. James Hetfield and Metallica have sung Motorhead's praises and influences for as long as I can remember.
    I'm glad you gave them a second chance. I'm sorry you were traumatized by Ace Of Spades, as it's my favorite Motorhead song, but I understand why, due to what happened.
    If you want to check out a 180 degree of this song, you should check out Lemmy's duet with Ozzy on the song I Ain't not Nice Guy. 😀
    Love your channel....Keep up the amazingly awesome and kick ass work
    Till the next video... 🤘

    Lemmy considered Motorhead's influences to be 50s and 60s rock and roll - Little Richard, The Beatles ect. He formed Motorhead after being kicked out of space rockers Hawkwind (his vocals were on 'Silver Machine' which was pretty high in the charts) and wanted this new band to be faster, dirtier, angrier and louder. Essentially it's still old school rock and roll.
    Also there's a superb mash up of Overkill with James Brown's Super bad somewhere on YT

  • @jeffthompson1869
    @jeffthompson1869 4 месяца назад +2

    Motorhead came out of the 70s - the music was based on the main drug Lemmy and the band liked which was crank or speed - methamphetamines. Loud, fast, and raw sounding music amps the effects of speed. People outside of the drug culture - took a long time in adjusting their hearing to this kind of music - but kids flocked to it, as youth often do, with exuberance and spectacle of a band that appears to be playing over-the-top, non-conformist, adrenaline inducing, musical assaults in large venues veering in unexpected ways like tightrope walkers about to fall, but pulling it back, at the last second, to resolve in a crescendo of delight. The audience would lose their minds. Straight ahead, non-apologetic, fearless - Motorhead pioneered a sound and attitude that defied the conventional wisdom of its era. It rocked harder than any band before it. And opened the door to many bands that followed. R.I.P. Lemmy

    Motörhead predates trash metal quite a lot, and while they were often classified as metal due to their rough soundscape, especially in the early 1980s, it was more about people wanting to put labels on something that did not really fit any of them very well. Lemmy insisted Motörhead was rock'n'roll, and I'm not gonna argue with that.

    Being a Motorhead fan since the late 70's I can confirm that Motorhead were a pivotal influence on everykind of fast paced derivative of 'Heavy Metal'. A suggestion is to go to a metal club (say Solids just near Central Station) and ask to hear a Motorhead song. Then drink in the vibe in the room. It will be both cathartic and therapeautic. 'The ONLY way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud' as the song says.

    Lemmy smoked two packs of Reds a day and drank a fifth of Jack a day. That's where he gets his voice. That, and they were ridiculously loud. Motorhead falls in the pioneer movement along with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zepplin. They were just a tad later. They double kick of the drummer was an attempt to recreate the fast foot of John Bonham from Zepplin. It's a cheat code. Say what you want about Motorhead, but they forged bridges between the metal and punk crowd. They started genres. They were rock and roll at it's grossest and hardest. And you are bobbing your head.

    Lemmy always classed Mötorhead as Rock n Roll. They were the one band that was able to unite rockers, metalheads and punks.
    Now, many of their songs reflect their hedonistic fast living, but Lemmy could have his very emotional and sombre moments. Two that I would highly recommend are "1916" which Sabaton did a good cover of, but does lack the raw emotion that Lemmy put across. The second is "Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me", a brutally emotional song Lemmy wrote as he felt that people didn't get the message in Aerosmith's "Janie's Got a Gun"

    for me, the deeper i deconstruct the song/production, the better it gets.
    Sabaton did a cover/tribute to it a couple of years ago ; and while the 2 versions are completely different (in terms of sound/production), they are each as close to perfect in their delivery/presentation as can be done.
    (speaking of which .... perhaps we could get a double-feature?)
    and yes, while Lemmy calls it just simply "rock 'n' roll" , they are deffo pioneers of speed metal / thrash, with a bit of a punk-ish sound thrown it.

Then my brothers mate, April, who'd so far sat in the corner, stepped up, smashed it, and went on to learn drums... proper drums 👏🏻

    Its not the big 4 of metal, only of thrash, and all 4 deserve their place based on sales, tours and influence. Motorhead are a 70's band who were very much a big influencer on thrash metal. They played "rock'n'roll" but was a fusion of punk, metal and a hard blues. Their songs cover a lot of tempo ranges but driving fast tunes were their staple.

    Motorhead saw themselves as rock & roll, never heavy metal, but they heavily influenced early thrash metal with their speed & intensity.
    They were also aggy enough that early punks, who hated bands with long hair, were into them!

    The song Motörhead was created during Lemmy's Hawkwind years. I like and have their first albums. A little Lemmy story: a friend of mine knew the drummer of the Band Kingdom Come from Altona, Hamburg, Germany. He told him this story: he was sitting at the Hamburg airport, when a guy showed up and sat down next to him. Introducing himself: "Hello. My name is Lemmy Kilmister. And I want us both to have a good time." And pulled out a bottle of vodka, which they shared :-)

    Lemmy would growl at you that Motorhead were a rock and roll band Not thrash Not metal. Rock and Roll.
    Lemmy said everything he did came from Elvis.
    But they were definitely pioneers of speed metal and had a huge influence on early thrash. Motorhead were accepted by both punks and metalheads.
    Their repertoire was actually very diverse, from speed metal to 1950's rock n roll, through power ballads to 1916, which is just a snare and a voice, and will make you cry.

    Lemmy and the boys never saw themselves as anything other than a Rock & Roll band. I totally agree with that. But, interestingly enough most older Metal bands including Trash cites them as a huge influence on them. Their drummer, the late Phil Taylor was one of the first one to play double-bass drums that way and that fast. It was unknown for the time And yeah, a lot of their songs sound the same and that's why I love them 🤘👍

    I think Lemmy built Motorhead just because he wanted to do something that had NEVER been finr, kind of like when KISS fused goal withbhorror, science fiction and theatricality, or when the Beatles wrote Shelter Shelter and created heavy metal before it existed. Queen did something similar when they write stone Cold Crazy.

    The closest connection between Motorhead and thrash goes through Metallica. The story goes something like this. As a teenager, Lars Ulrich was basically obsessed with Motorhead, following their tour bus all over California, to the point that at like 14 or 15 tears old he made friends with the band and hung out on the tour bus getting wasted with them (Lemmy took a picture of him drunk and covered in his own vomit and used it in an album sleeve). Later, he went to Europe (just after meeting James Hetfield) and was able to hang out with the band backstage at a sold out stadium gig in the UK where they were at the top of the charts. He also spent a day with them in their rehearsal space while they were writing their next album (at 16 years old). He flew back to California the next day and called James to start Metallica. Metallica have said that Lemmy is one of the pioneers of heavy metal, whether he likes it or not. You can also see the influence in James' facial hair in the 80s. He borrowed Lemmy's look.

      He went to the UK to see Diamond Head not Motorhead and stayed at the guitarists house and he didn't start Metallica the day after he got home. Also that photo of him is from 1983 when he was 19 not 15 or whatever crap you wrote.

    Overkill and Ace Of Spades are the archetypal fast Motorhead songs but they have loads of mid-tempo songs, check out Born To Raise Hell or their cover of Louie Louie, they even have a few slow songs such as Metropolis, and 1916 is almost a ballad. Their first album pre-dated NWOBHM by a couple of years but they came to be regarded as one of the leading lights of the movement. Also check out Silver Machine by Hawkwind to hear Lemmy's clean vocals before he developed his trademark growl.

  • @EleanorMcHugh
    @EleanorMcHugh 4 месяца назад

    Motorhead’s sound was in part a reaction to Lemmy’s time in Hawkwind, stripping out the space rock keyboards and synth-stacks in favour of a more aggressive, punchy sound (though Hawkwind can do aggressive when they want to - Brainstorm on the Space Ritual album ❤). It’s also Rock’n’Roll’s answer to punk, every bit as rebellious as the Pistols but with real tight musicianship and no nonsense.
    Lemmy’s voice wasn’t musical and his playing style owes more to rhythm guitar than conventional bass, but it’s that combo along with the driving drums and high-octane guitars that really makes Motorhead’s sound special.
    You should check out Girlschool. Their sound is similarly pummelling and they did collaborations with Motorhead as Head Girl.

    While Motörhead didn't play thrash metal, alot of what they did are major influences on thrash, death, groove..... basically every heavier metal bands.
    I think it's safe to say that hadn't Motörhead existed, the heavier sides of metal would not exist. It's that simple as that.
    I am not exactly sure on this bit, but I think this track more or less invented what is today called power-drumming.
