I love this cover by Motorhead. Knowing it was filmed not long before Lemmy left this world. It fits as kind of a tribute to Bowie and Lemmy both. The video and it's editing are amazing.
Fuck yeah ! I was 16yo in 1980, grew up listening Bon Scott & AC/DC, Motörhead, Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Bowie, CCR, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Springsteen, Neil Young...etc...etc... What a pity when I see youngsters nowadays, listening shitty music by so called "singers" who couldn't carry a song without Autotune.
As with others here, l remain deeply moved by this. So many Motorhead gigs under my belt, brings them all back. And David Bowie too. Be seeing you round, fellas. Love always.
I'm not gonna lie: I am tearing-up right now. Lemmy left this world on 12/28/2015; David Bowie followed him out the door less than 2 weeks later, on 01/10/2016. 2 legends. Both resting in peace.
[Chorus] I, I will be king And you, shall be my queen Though nothing, will never drive them away But we can beat them, forever and ever Cause we can be heroes, just for one day [Verse 1] And you, you are insane And I, I am the same Cause we're lovers, and that is the truth Yes we're lovers, and we're in that booth [Refrain] Though nothing, will keep us together We could stop time, forever and ever We can be heroes What d'you say? [Verse 3] I, I can remember (I remember) Standing, by the wall (by the wall) And the guns, were all ready to fire (ready to fire) And we kissed, as though we never can fall (never can fall) [Refrain] And the shame, was on another city Oh we can beat them, forever and ever Then we could be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes, we can be heroes We can be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes
If this isn't the 'very best' cover song in the history of rock then my name isn't Sc..tt Old..eld. I've had the absolute pleasure of seeing Bowie live 3 times, and the honor of having dinner with him once whilst touring in Australia with the Physodelic Furs while on tour in the early 80's. This version is nothing short of freaking EPIC. R.I.P. Lemmy you shall be forever so very sorely missed..! 😥. A dead set legend - there's not too many musos who can make such a claim to true fame. Cheers and thanks to All who loved and respected this great and gentle man.
I can never finish playing this along to the cd at home on guitar as I always get choked up. Motörhead were just something else and Lemmy was just pure rock n roll. Bowies lyrics sung by Lemmy,just stunning.
For me, this is the best cover song performed by Motörhead. When I am listening to it I always get sad. I bought my first Motörhead record in 1977 and Lemmy was a sort of a fixture in my life since he joined Hawkwind. I am missing him...
This song proofed that my hubby and I are the perfect match! Me: Bowie fan since I was a kid. Hubby: Motörhead fan Lemmy and Bowie died in a time range of a few months. Lemmy sings one of our favourite songs from Bowie. We both still miss them.
OMG, I have never been so incredibly impressed by a David Bowie cover. I think this is the FIRST Motörhead song I have ever listened to (that I know of) and I have been listening to all kinds of music....❤❤❤
This song was played at my dads funeral and I couldn’t have thought of a better song to honour his memory. Lemmy was an idol for my dad and my dad is my idol. May they be having a drink together wherever they are. update: Thank you for all the lovely replies, they do put a smile on my face. Thank You
I lost my father too, I was 19yo, I'm 52 now, still hurts, I'm not a religious person, but somehow i call him when things get bad for me and somehow he is still there to help me.
Man.. My favorite Bowie song, and then Lemmy makes it even better.. Brings tears in my eyes.. Bowie, and Lemmy are legends, and will live forever, thank you both for your music. This is the best cover of a song EVER..
Im crying for both of them, music industry wont be the same ever again, 2 men both beautiful and talented in their own special way, they will never be forgotten 💖 💖 xx
This is fantastic, but also....Sound Garden, "Just A Girl". Devo "Satisfaction". Cake "I Will Survive". Five Finger Death Punch "Bad Company". Manfred Mann " Blinded By The Light" Pantera " Planet Caravan"...Van Halen "Where Have All The Good Times Gone", Van Halen "No Good", Zeppelin "Dazed and Confused" (though that's more of a theft) Hell, even Skid Row doing "Little Wing"...Listen and enjoy.
Great song, cover, Mickey, Phil, and Giant Lemmy. Nine years that Lemmy has changed his cosmic address. This magnificent video is a deserved tribute to a fantastic band and to an unrivaled career. They gave all they had inside. Mickey Dee and Phil Campbell were also exemplary in accompanying Lemmy until the end. Hats off, guys. I better stop there, as it becomes too emotional...
I would have never thought the ringing sound of amp feedback along with random sounds of the bass can be filled with so much emotion that it could make a man cry.... but it did. R.I.P Lemmy, Wurzel, Phil Taylor, Fast Eddie, and Larry Wallis. R.I.P Motorhead
How Iconic that this is one of the last songs he sang in a world dreadfuly in need of people like him.... Pure love, Rock n roll to the core... Rest in Power man...
Lemmy will live forever in my heart! I saw him for the first time at a concert in Hamburg in 1986. It was really loud and impressive! Thanxs Lemmy for being part of my youth!!
Never really listened to Motörhead, been an ac/dc fan for years but this tune an the way it’s performed is amazing. It’s been on my play list for months an I keep playing it loud.

My favorite band playing my favorite song from my favorite solo artist. What an awesome version of Heroes! It was hard not to get emotional hearing this song. I miss them both so much.
Being a fan since the beginning I just love this song song ,I'm 59 and it brings me to tears , I don't believe a word is a second close !? Hello my nephew Vinny
I have a friend in So Cal. Jeff, and he met Lemmy once. He told Lemmy that he was his hero, and Lemmy told him nah, be your own hero. Then he asked him what he did for a living, and Jeff told him he installed alarm systems. Lemmy then said" Jeff, when a family is saved from having their home robbed, who are they going to thank? Not me, be your own hero. Jeff was almost ready to quit that job, but Lemmy gave him the kick in the ass to climb the company ladder, until he became part owner of the company. Wise words from Lemmy, a all round great guy.
Cool advice from a Rock God! Another Legend, Mick Fleetwood told me, "It doesn't matter what you do, just keep pursuing your dreams!" Long Live Rock N Roll!
My dad loves Motorhead and he named me Lemmy after him :) . Ive been listening to Motorhead since I was a kid :') R.I.P Lemmy. Gone but never forgotten :')
The original was amazing. This cover does something new and different with it, so its also amazing. I think David Bowie would have absolutely loved this version of his song. In fact, he would have asked to come onstage and sing along with Lemmy. And if that had happened, then it would have opened a hole in the space-time continuum and angels would have poured through, strumming on guitars and hammering out a beat on drums. What a precious gift those tow musicians were. The world is a poorer, quieter place without them in it.
Miss you Lemmy... Miss you Bowie... Feels like the end of an era. All my heroes are passing away one by one. We should all be so lucky that years after we pass, those who loved us say "man... What a great guy/gal, what a great time in life." So to all my Heroes I say Thank You! What a great time in my life!
Hanley, I share the same feelingof you! They are passing way, we miss them, but, is our task to keep their legacy alive, rolling...it makes me feel happy, continuing to hear them and sharing with the young generations their powerful and encouraging music. Take care Man and lots of Rock n' Roll in your life!
I absolutely cannot get enough of this song and video. Probably the 100th time I have watched it. Happy Birthday Lem, and rest in peace. The world went to shit after you passed, but listening to Motorhead always gives me a glimmer of hope. Much love. 🤘❤️
@@davidjohn8661 By the way that christians react to Rock'n'Roll you can tell, the followers of Jesus know about the competition. And they are loosing the fight they started. We all know Rock'n'Roll exists, but Jesus never did.
What I love about Motörhead covers is that they are not just that, but versions in their own style. This is one of the very best ones for sure! R.I.P Lemmy. ♠️
The only time any band has done that as well as motorhead was when sepultura covered Orgasmatron. It was clearly done with so much love but in their own style and with their own pronunciation of Lemmy's lyrics (which are just perfect) ❤ I will forever need Motorhead in my life! X
I crank this every Saturday night, along with Ride On- AC/DC and Hurt- the Johnny Cash version. Three songs that mean a lot to me. The neighbours love it.
That's amazing! So here are two songs, "Heroes" and "Hurt".. And both of the covers are better than the originals (no offense to David Bowie, but this was simply metal poetry)
Desde mis años mozos AC/DC, con Bon Scott, es mi amor eterno. Fue un flechazo, un no sé muy bien qué, pero me ganaron para siempre. La pieza fue “ There’s gonna be some rockin’ at the show tonight”. Y luego vino el resto.
His contribution to music is undeniable, and he is recognized as one of the greatest vocalists in the genre. Ozzy is truly an icon of the music industry, and his influence will endure for generations.
Somebody only really dies when their name is spoken for the last time. So lemmy , Bowie, Freddie , Syd, Richard will live for as long as we love real music.
So right... so let’s say a big hi to Thutmoses III warrior pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Pitt the Younger from uk and that guy from the front of the newspaper on Cheers opening credits who didn’t eventually become president in US.. help me out the name escapes me
In millions of years time aliens will find what is left of the human race .and they will find this and realise that we had potential. R.i.p Bowie. R.i.p Lemmy. You are and will forever be Heroes.
I love the band and even after years after Lemmy moved on I find it hard to listen to any off their songs and covers they made without tearing up and crying.
I always missed out on Motörhead, but then I actually went to one of their last concerts in Germany, just weeks before his death. Sure, he was already marked by his illness, but it still was fantastic to hear all of those songs performed by the band and I would never have forgiven myself, if I hadn't seen this legend on stage at least once.

“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”

Take my hat off buddy
So true
Both him and Bowie will live forever
he actually lived like 200 years
If you consider non-stop drugs, booze, and sex living.
Lemmy war cool u.seine music bombastic
Lemmy always reminds me of that line in The Sandlot.
"Heroes are remembered, but legends never die."
Yes brother.
Ah. No. You see - to become a legend, one must die. You need to read more.
Lemmy. A man who truly lived life. A man who made others feel alive.
By far, the BEST version of this British classic! Lemmy has truly rocked millions and millions of music fans ❤❤❤❤
Lemmy covering Bowie is just about what I needed right now.
Amen...you nailed it. Think i'll watch it again.
Top man yeah man
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY
Amen..after a bad day.Thanks

You're wrong, this song is by Bowie, many artists and bands covered it.
Lemmy left us with a masterpiece cover
I love coming back to hear this song. Bowie and Lemmy. Absolute legends.

It's the best cover of Bowie's song.
Cheers!
So true Man!🤜🤛
truer words never spoken
As with others here, l remain deeply moved by this. So many Motorhead gigs under my belt, brings them all back. And David Bowie too.
Be seeing you round, fellas. Love always.
I missed out seeing lemmy back in rotorua nz in 1985 `So im here every day `
I'm not gonna lie: I am tearing-up right now. Lemmy left this world on 12/28/2015; David Bowie followed him out the door less than 2 weeks later, on 01/10/2016. 2 legends. Both resting in peace.

Though nothing, will never drive them away
But we can beat them, forever and ever
Cause we can be heroes, just for one day
[Verse 1]
And you, you are insane
And I, I am the same
Cause we're lovers, and that is the truth
Yes we're lovers, and we're in that booth

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could stop time, forever and ever
We can be heroes
What d'you say?

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, were all ready to fire (ready to fire)
And we kissed, as though we never can fall (never can fall)

Nobody can cover David Bowie, But Motorhead did and it was awesome. Love you Lemmy. You are a star. Never go away.
never get tired of this tune, a celebration of 2 true icons
If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you've a good taste in music.

A band i really wanted to see - glad they had it on the car commercial.
Yeaaaaaaaahhhhhh
@@sdvol9077 I saw them twice. I was not disappointed.

Just working on it, bro'.
Now it's three, will see how it'll 😊go...
Lemmy wouldn't want this wasted. So here's to you, Ian Fraiser Kilmister! The legend among legends.

Thank you Lemmy for all you did for this world in the short time you were here... no excuses , just his own MAN!! the world needs more❤️❤️❤️🤟🏻🤟🏻
I effen miss theses old days , proper musicians and a crowd into it with no bloody mobile phones .
That was England , Once upon a time.
I miss it.
I knew a World with Lemmy and Bowie.
Now I experience a World without them.
.
I miss old times.
I literally cry that I never got to see them in person.
Just keep the memories and they never die. I sing them every day.
Seen Bowie on the glass spider from mars tour it was crazy i was 9 or 10 at the time i wish i got to see Motorhead
I still miss them both
That is true he done justice with his version both are very good depends on the mood
Lemmy’s voice lends itself very beautifully to this Bowie track... The man could sing...
This song proofed that my hubby and I are the perfect match!
Me: Bowie fan since I was a kid.
Hubby: Motörhead fan
Lemmy and Bowie died in a time range of a few months.
Lemmy sings one of our favourite songs from Bowie.
We both still miss them.
Bowie died 13 days after Lemmy.
OMG, I have never been so incredibly impressed by a David Bowie cover. I think this is the FIRST Motörhead song I have ever listened to (that I know of) and I have been listening to all kinds of music....❤❤❤
One of the best covers ever , RIP Lemmy.
Spot on, brilliant
One of the greatest rock songs ever played by one of the greatest rock bands ever. Legendary
Unfortunately, Lemmy and David left us much too early. Your music lives in our hearts!
everyone has their time and glory, no such thing as too early, let the man rip

Early? Lemmy has 70 and Bowie 60
An afternoon spent listening to old rock and roll is an afternoon well spent ❤
Yeah, just doin the same. Greetings fom France!
This song was played at my dads funeral and I couldn’t have thought of a better song to honour his memory. Lemmy was an idol for my dad and my dad is my idol. May they be having a drink together wherever they are.
update: Thank you for all the lovely replies, they do put a smile on my face. Thank You
Sorry for your loss mate. I'm sure your Dad and Lemmy will be having a drink together looking down on you.
sorry for your lost
Sorry for ur dad dieing but he had great taste
I lost my father too, I was 19yo, I'm 52 now, still hurts, I'm not a religious person, but somehow i call him when things get bad for me and somehow he is still there to help me.
"my dad is my idol" that's beautiful, I'm sure your dad was proud of you.
So damned raw and powerful just a shame they never got to sing it together.
Both of them were OUR HEROES AND WILL FOREVER BE
Yeah well said they were awesome
They were magnificent 👍
Didn't they die in the same year though? Heroes 💪

Cool advice from a Rock God! Another Legend, Mick Fleetwood told me, "It doesn't matter what you do, just keep pursuing your dreams!" Long Live Rock N Roll!
My dad loves Motorhead and he named me Lemmy after him :) . Ive been listening to Motorhead since I was a kid :') R.I.P Lemmy. Gone but never forgotten :')
Obrigado motörhead, por nos ensinar oque é música de verdade!
The original was amazing. This cover does something new and different with it, so its also amazing. I think David Bowie would have absolutely loved this version of his song. In fact, he would have asked to come onstage and sing along with Lemmy. And if that had happened, then it would have opened a hole in the space-time continuum and angels would have poured through, strumming on guitars and hammering out a beat on drums.
What a precious gift those tow musicians were. The world is a poorer, quieter place without them in it.
This is my favorite comment.
Poetry!
Good song to sign out on
Well said! 🎸👍🤘🍺
That's the most metal comment here dude!
Miss you Lemmy... Miss you Bowie... Feels like the end of an era. All my heroes are passing away one by one. We should all be so lucky that years after we pass, those who loved us say "man... What a great guy/gal, what a great time in life."
So to all my Heroes I say Thank You! What a great time in my life!
So well said, well said 👏 👍
We all have an expiration date...make the best of the time you are here. We are never guaranteed a tomorrow. This was an epic side of Motorhead!
Hanley, I share the same feelingof you! They are passing way, we miss them, but, is our task to keep their legacy alive, rolling...it makes me feel happy, continuing to hear them and sharing with the young generations their powerful and encouraging music. Take care Man and lots of Rock n' Roll in your life!
Lovedd it
I absolutely cannot get enough of this song and video. Probably the 100th time I have watched it. Happy Birthday Lem, and rest in peace. The world went to shit after you passed, but listening to Motorhead always gives me a glimmer of hope. Much love. 🤘❤️
Well said, it has gone to shit 😮
I have had the pleasure of seeing Motorhead live a few times, and loved every minute. Love this version of this song. R.I.P Lemmy, miss you 😢
This song was used at my dads funeral and it couldn’t of been better thanks to this song. Lenny lived in my dads heart and will live in mine now
Tear in my eye for Lemmy and a tear for how great he performed this song. RIP Sir.
Dear People of the Future, this is what a rock star was.
yes
Dear people of Today, this is what a whiskey drinkin', gun slingin', bad ass, motherfuckin' Rockstar was.
And always will be
valentin szilagyi so true
This is a great comment
Most awesome song...thank you Lemmy and Bowie
Oh, this brought tears to my eyes. Miss you so much, Lem. Brilliant cover. Incredibly well made video. Motörhead for Life and Afterlife
Same ,
Me Too i
Damn man, me too, this is way too much
for sure
yes...me too
A true poet that can never be replaced. He will always be missed RIP SIR KILMISTER!
Eu no meus 56 anos já mais esquecerei a melhor banda de metal do mundo."Salve Lemmy" obrigado Motorhead 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Que isso, que bagagem meu amigo. Muitos anos para o bom e velho ROCK N' ROLL!!!
Larga vida al rok
Tenho 22 e também considero o Motörhead a melhor banda que já pisou na terra
Wow .... Great cover from an unexpected source, that brought a tear to my eye - RIP, never forgotten & greatly missed Lemmy & Bowie
Great cover!
Yeo
Happy birthday you magnificent bastard!
The world needs you back more than ever ♠️
Aye. Lemmy being born was the best Christmas present ever.
AMEN to that !!
Always blows me away. "Rock'n'Roll is the religion that will never let you down."
As enjoyable as it can be, rock and roll is useless to save you. Only Jesus saves.
@@davidjohn8661 By the way that christians react to Rock'n'Roll you can tell, the followers of Jesus know about the competition. And they are loosing the fight they started. We all know Rock'n'Roll exists, but Jesus never did.
This is one of the best cover songs I've ever heard! 🤘🏻😈
What I love about Motörhead covers is that they are not just that, but versions in their own style. This is one of the very best ones for sure!
R.I.P Lemmy. ♠️
Weltklasse😍
Very well said!
Indeed,,,, you are correct.. ..I like the delay effects.. 1´26 ..... Insane !!
@@bibo.b2901 del n
The only time any band has done that as well as motorhead was when sepultura covered Orgasmatron. It was clearly done with so much love but in their own style and with their own pronunciation of Lemmy's lyrics (which are just perfect) ❤
I will forever need Motorhead in my life! X
I crank this every Saturday night, along with Ride On- AC/DC and Hurt- the Johnny Cash version. Three songs that mean a lot to me.
The neighbours love it.
Hurt breaks me, it must be an emotional Saturday night! Might want to throw Megadeth’s A tout le Monde in there!
All have cool memories - one of me faves Touch to Much replied cos of your Surname will let you find it !
That's amazing! So here are two songs, "Heroes" and "Hurt".. And both of the covers are better than the originals (no offense to David Bowie, but this was simply metal poetry)
My neighbours love it so much when I play it over and over, that they broke my windows to hear it better!
Desde mis años mozos AC/DC, con Bon Scott, es mi amor eterno. Fue un flechazo, un no sé muy bien qué, pero me ganaron para siempre. La pieza fue “ There’s gonna be some rockin’ at the show tonight”. Y luego vino el resto.
Still one of the best videos on RUclips, Long Live Lemmy and Motörhead!
His contribution to music is undeniable, and he is recognized as one of the greatest vocalists in the genre. Ozzy is truly an icon of the music industry, and his influence will endure for generations.
Awesome! This song holds much for me. Just incredible. Would love to hear Bowie do The Ace of Spades.
Dwayne Goodin sadly we'll never get that chance as both Lemmy and Bowie are gone.
Dwayne Goodin that would be cool
That would have been amazing!
I weep every time when I watch this - David and Lemmy - R.I.P
They died within 2 weeks of each other. Wow.
I requested Heroes to be played , April 12th 11 years ago, in honor of my father who passed away the day before.
This Cover is Simply Majestic.
crazy april 12 is my dads birthday and he passed away june 7th 2007 11 years ago...rock on bud
Same B to you as we go forth with the memories of our Fathers in our hearts.
Lemmy,caro inarivabbile Lemmy!!!!
The world became boring without Lemmy....
True... A part of me dies as well... There are no replacement
David Bengtsson you are so wery right about that...
Aren't we lucky! 😁
to throw shit at.
and David...
Somebody only really dies when their name is spoken for the last time. So lemmy , Bowie, Freddie , Syd, Richard will live for as long as we love real music.
Cliff Richard isn't dead yet! Lol
@@indyjones1135 - He probably meant Little Richard who died May 9. 2020.
So right... so let’s say a big hi to Thutmoses III warrior pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Pitt the Younger from uk and that guy from the front of the newspaper on Cheers opening credits who didn’t eventually become president in US.. help me out the name escapes me
@@acm1350 ever heard of Richard Wright (Pink Floyd) ?
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering you’ve just proved my point. Probably without reading the sentiment.
In millions of years time aliens will find what is left of the human race .and they will find this and realise that we had potential. R.i.p Bowie. R.i.p Lemmy. You are and will forever be Heroes.
It's not possible to like your post enough. \m/
Words😎👍
Inspiring comment
it"s Da POWER-LIFE !;'
may your god bless you .sir.
what a great cover version of an already amazing song!
I love the band and even after years after Lemmy moved on I find it hard to listen to any off their songs and covers they made without tearing up and crying.
Same here. Seen them five times.
Still can't believe a titan like Lemmy is no longer with us.
So glad I got to see Motorhead live! Lemmy was an absolute powerhouse on stage.
Saw lemmy with hawkwind belting out silver machine stood right up at the back,,,epic
I always missed out on Motörhead, but then I actually went to one of their last concerts in Germany, just weeks before his death.
Sure, he was already marked by his illness, but it still was fantastic to hear all of those songs performed by the band and I would never have forgiven myself, if I hadn't seen this legend on stage at least once.
